How else can you get a sense of why there are Fatwas calling for Jihad against the West and especially the United States and it's people.
Religion of Peace? Islamic Militants Kill 30 In Nigeria School Attack setting some children on fire while they are still alive.
I suspect the people of Islam are defiantly influenced by the Koran. I gather a great many of them view the people of the United States a a nation of Infidels. A few years back when the cut the head of that reporter and showed it on TV, seemed to me to be a reenactment from the Koran. "Take him by the right hand and cut through the vein of the Neck, only the infidel will care" Technically a Jew or a Christian is not considered and infidel but whoa to the rest, heh? "Verily, they who believe, and the Jews, and the Sabeites,26 and the Christians hoever of them believeth in God and in the last day, and doth what is right, on them shall come no fear, neither shall they be put to grief. Of old we accepted the covenant of the children of Israel, and sent Apostles to them. Oft as an Apostle came to them with that for which they had no desire, some they treated as liars, and some they slew;27 And they reckoned that no harm would come of it: but they became blind and deaf! Then was God turned unto them: then many of them again became blind and deaf! but God beheld what they did. Infidels now are they who say, "God is the Messiah, Son of Mary;" for the Messiah said, "O children of Israel! worship God, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever shall join other gods with God, God shall forbid him the Garden, and his abode shall be the Fire; and the wicked shall have no helpers. They surely are Infidels who say, "God is the third of three:" for there is no God but one God: and if they refrain not from what they say, a grievous chastisement shall light on such of them as are Infidels." How to deal with the infidel is a salient lesson though out the Koran. Rather chilling to any that suspect they might be considered infidels in the eyes of the Muslims.
I have not read the Koran, so my information is very limited. I have read the Torah and so have a good deal of understanding of the blood and violence it encourages.
watched a doc about all the kids there, they usually banish the boys for watching tv or burping at the dinner table, to cut out the competition for the sweet 13 year old wives
No, not much instruction on what to do with non believers. There is quite a difference. But then I haven't heard of any Jews or Ribbi issuing any statements calling for Jihad lately. Have you?
MarAzul, there is a lot to talk about here, so I need to ask you a few questions first. 1. What is your understanding of the history of Islam? 2. What is your understanding of the current beliefs of mainstream Muslims? 3. What is your understanding of the cultures and societies of Muslims?
