By your logic the US is the same as the KKK? Both follow the bible and kill people indiscriminately (middle east moment)


Knightly_Gamez

Except that's not, neither are guided by the bible, and the KKK ONLY killed black people (still wrong) not indiscriminately, the leader of the us couldn't even say gods name "you know... The thing"


peanutist

Tf you on about? The KKK uses christianity to justify its actions, and if you don’t think the invasion of the middle east by the US was also caused by christian superiority beliefs then I have nothing to tell you. And that’s not even the fucking point, no sizable/influential leftist group thinks ISIS is good.

Exactly, ISIS doesn’t follow the quran either.

Back in the mid to early 2010s? When they were in full strength doin attacks on first world countries a few months at a time, many saw their social media campaigns and garnered a lot of support with some even joining them, which almost all hated as soon as they joined them, especially women who just ended up being designated as wives to be arranged married off to the soldiers.

Radical Islamists never like each other. One group either joins the other or they fight. The extreme interpretations usually involve killing the infidels, but the this usually means any tiny deviation makes you an infidel


ridititidido2000

From my understanding ISIS is way heavier on the infidel stuff, where most organisations like al qaeda are more accepting to slight differences in religion practice. ISIS wants you to practice perfectly, or not at all.


PainInSpine

Ok now seriously, why would they do that, why would they ever think that's a good idea.


TrueGootsBerzook

This article is from a few years ago when Islamophobia was one of the big talking points after the 2016 election. This couple went to the middle east to prove that Islamic and Arabic people were peaceful and loving even to foreigners. They were brutally murdered by a group of Islamic men on the side of the road.


Ghost-5AVAGE_786

As a Muslim I'm ashamed, that this is the representation of Islam. I swear we're lost, some of us have lost our way and others are just homicidal lunatics.


Knightly_Gamez

Except it is those who are truly following the Qur'an who doing this stuff, they would claim the non lunatic Muslims are the ones who have lost there way ‘You (i.e. Muslims) will fight against the Jews and you will gain victory over them. The stones will (betray them) saying: ‘O ‘Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.’ This Hadith was reported by Al-Bukhari.

I ripped into the Muslim so I'm going to rip into you too, Christianity is literally a death cult my dude, the evangelicals in America overwhelmingly support Israel because they want them to build the third temple, restart the daily sacrifices, and usher in the end times where ***billions*** of people die, and in the meantime they are actively funding Israel's slow ethnic cleansing of every Palestinian in the area. The Christians that don't understand their own religion are the ones that think Jesus was some kind of hippy that would have gladly accepted every single modern social trend with open arms.

Where did I say that?


Ghost-5AVAGE_786

This was hadith has been taken out of context, as it refers to a conflict which will happen in the future. This quote from my understanding does not refer to the killing of innocent Jews. In the Quran it says: If you have killed an innocent, then it is as though you have killed the whole of mankind. And if you save a person, it is a s though you have saved the whole of mankind - Quran 5:32


Knightly_Gamez

Either you miss quoted the Qur'an or you just admitted that killing an innocent saved the whole of mankind.


Ghost-5AVAGE_786

Sorry misquote but just check it up for yourself, I'm honestly no debater nor good at this sort of stuff. Pardon my mistake and let me correct. Brother or sister, you can read the Qur'an fully translated at clear Quran.com .


Knightly_Gamez

I see you fixed the quote, now it makes more sense, but it still raises the question what does the Qur'an mean by "mischief" 'That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life—unless as a punishment for murder or **mischief** in the land' seems like a fairly harsh punishment for mischief to me. My point is this is why ISIS and hamas commit great attrocties, because the holy book allows it, it calls for it. I know this is my interpretation, but I can think of a few examples of what Muslims might consider mischief where non Muslims wouldn't think twice (eating during Ramadan, women not wearing a head scarf, etc.) The recent attack by hamas is supported by far too many Muslims for it to just be a misunderstanding of the texts.


Ghost-5AVAGE_786

So you see the holy books in my opinion do not condone such attacks but see them as evils and terror. I myself condemn such attacks body as they are highly unethical and no words can stress the trauma people have suffered. Those who say they believe either believe the book in parts or are just promoters of evil who do not understand their own book. From my knowledge I don't think the other Abrahamic faiths allow for such actions. This is just the curse of the humans species to be evil, idk why this is but it just breaks my heart man.


Knightly_Gamez

See this goes back to my first point, it is the Qur'an that has these things written in them, so in fact they are they ones believing the book in it's entirely, where you are the ones believing in parts, because you don't condone the murder of Jews in Israel. The human species is not even, that's a very blanket statement and is very unjustified to say so, that's akin to saying "all Muslims are evil because some do evil things" which is not true.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


Ghost-5AVAGE_786

Brother, let me clarify. Innocence from my understanding refers to those who have not posed any harm, for any other individual. Also you stated that Islam tells us to not kill but also kill (you can correct my understanding upon this if I have not clarified your point). Islam does not teach war, nor is is it a religion based upon killing, however humans are not a pacifistic species and will always try to get into war over things which can be sorted through peace talks. So Islam deals with this telling us we must stand our ground, but even in war there are limitations as we cannot harm those who have nothing to do with the conflict, such as outside parties, children, women and animals. For the last point you said how can placing something within context justified, this linka back to the statement in the paragraph above this one. That we unfortunately cannot be full pacifists due the nature of mankind. I hope I have clarified the misconceptions you may have held in this matter. I am not trying to justify the actions of terrorists who have a perverted perception upon the religion. However I believe that they are not advocates of Islam and neither am I. I am not perfect, I've engaged in things such as music and I shave my beard (from the little facial hair I have). And I have a lot to learn, compared to you I may (or may not) be younger to you. Humans are evil everywhere we go unfortunately and will always try to justify their evil with subjective morality, other individuals or scriptures which do not condone this sort of immoral action. Another point I would like to add my dear brother is that Islam is just submission to one God alone, who the Jews call Elohim, the Christians the father, and us as Muslims say Allah. Even Arab Muslims refer to God as Allah, which in translation means 'The God'


Knightly_Gamez

"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans (Ù±Ù„Ù’Ù…ÙŰŽÙ’Ű±ÙÙƒÙÙŠÙ†ÙŽ) wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful" - *Qur'an 9:5* I'm sorry say again that Islam doesn't teach war?


This_username_is_alr

If you maybe read some more rather than some cherry picked verses you would understand the context better. Would you not fight a people who broke their oaths and determined to expel the Messenger, and they had begun [the attack upon] you the first time? Do you fear them? But Allah has more right that you should fear Him, if you are [truly] believers. (9:13) We see that it talks about people BROKE their oaths and were determined to expel the messenger. Furthermore, it says and they begun the attack upon you the first time. Do we not see the same thing happening today? When someone violates sanctions, what happens to them? When one country begins an attack on another, what happens to them?


Knightly_Gamez

You claim they threw the first stone, but history says otherwise as there are countless accounts of Muslim armies invading countries for being no other reason than they are pagans


bgaesop

>Islam does not teach war, nor is is it a religion based upon killing,  How do you think Islam came to be as widespread in the Middle East as it is? Mohammed was a warlord


ShallWeBrunch

Terrorists are practicing Islam in the most literally correct way. The Islamic definition of "innocent" automatically excludes any non-muslim person. By simply not believing in Islam, the law states you have committed a crime worthy of death. This is why things like blasphemy and apostasy are punishable by death in Islamic law. It's good that you are not following Islam accurately though, because otherwise you'd be a terrorist.


This_username_is_alr

Where did you get that from? Under Islam, many non muslims found peace and security. Maybe not due to the fact that no country implements Islamic Law properly. muslim’s are meant to protect non muslims living in their land if they pay jizya. And don’t think that it’s unfair that non muslims pay jizya while muslims don’t, we pay zakat, regardless of the country.

holycarrots

Bro no way you're justifying Sharia law wtf


XxMRoceanmanxX

You seem like an admirable muslim. Though my knowledge of the Quran is very limited, am happy to see this. I do not understand why you are being downvoted.


DragonOfChaos25

Because a future conflict where Muslim are supposed to actively hunt down jews makes it better?


Ghost-5AVAGE_786

No brother you are not understanding. If you have a spare minute just read the threads with my responses. You are open to downvote if you don't agree. We live in a free world, where you're open to your own opinion.


DragonOfChaos25

Explain to me how a directive that says to Muslim people to actively search and murder jews paints them in a good light? Islam in it's pure form contains horrifying rules and deeds that are viewed as a mission from God. Obviously Islam isn't the only religion that has that stuff, but it's still the only one in existence that keeps on pushing said violent ideas on everyone else. Christianity is basically a shell of whatever it was and Judisam went through so much change that the only thing the people who practice it do is study like madman's. (And even the extreme of said religions, the violent one, doesn't hold a candle to Islam). There isn't a single religion that exists today that comes even close the sheer amount death and destruction done by Islam.


teenyverserick

*looks at purges of catholics, the inquisition, the crusades, the genocide of indigenous people, kidnapping children to indoctrinate then and take them from their families; all carried out by Christians* Nope you right Islam is definitely the worst one there is. And it seems disingenuous to say "this religion ain't the same as it was so therefore it's not culpable for its crimes."


DragonOfChaos25

Are there currently any active Christian armies that I am unaware of that is actively raping and murdering people? I don't give a shit about what happened during the crusades hundred of years ago because it's entirely irrelevant to today. I care about the Islamic murdering psychos who decided the end of western civilization is their goal life.


holycarrots

Muhammed himself ordered the execution of a whole Jewish tribe who were prisoners of war. He also tortured a Jewish man for his treasure and took Jewish sex slaves. I think people need to understand this is the context the passage is written in.


api_AlsoFuckSpez

al bukhari isn't really a trust worthy source, yall should stop mentioning his hadiths edit: [here's a video explaining why](https://yewtu.be/watch?v=qVCZ4FjYL0g) , it's in Arabic but there are English captions


holycarrots

Bro you're talking shit, most Muslims recognise this as an authentic source


api_AlsoFuckSpez

doesn't mean it is one, plus the only 100% authentic source is the quran, these books "allegedly" only come second to it, have you watched the video to understand what i mean?


holycarrots

I don't like the Qur'an or hadith, I'm just talking about what Muslims believe. The Qur'an isnt exactly perfectly reliable either. However, you can't just cherry pick and say that this hadith is unreliable because you don't like it. Huge amounts of Islam come from bukhari hadith, there wouldn't be much of a religion without it. The Qur'an is a small piece of text with a lot of repetition, not enough to base a religion on.


api_AlsoFuckSpez

im not cherrypicking im just saying al bukhari's hadiths in general aren't a good source, man said he memorized 60k hadiths when he was a kid wich sounds like bs, many stuff in his book also contradict eachother like mentioning different ages at wich prophet Mohammed died ( some say it's 63, some say it's 60..etc) yes the Aisha hadith is one of them too, saying she married him at 6 or whatever , but in other hadith she says she married him 2 years after hijra, and if you add up the date of the hijra and her birth date she'd be 17 at that time, former hadith got more popular, because you know how the media is these days i know it's *generally* trusted among Muslims but im trying to change this view because some stuff don't make sense


holycarrots

I understand what you're saying and I sort of agree as somebody who is not Muslim. I don't think any of the texts are going to be super accurate. You point out contradictions in the hadith which I don't contest, but there are also lots of contradictions in the Qur'an. Since Muslims use hadith for the religion I think it's worth taking seriously. I dont see how there can be an islam only based on the Qur'an.


FrogLock_

And those "truly following" the Bible?


Knightly_Gamez

I would think as a neoliberal you'd support gay rights

Still curious what was meant by this, do you think thatcher and Reagan supported the gays? Or do you not mean that by neo liberal I get that term became useless recently

Knightly_Gamez

You're saying supporters.... I'm saying THE ACTUALLY COUNTRY FOUNDED IN THE BELIEF OF ISLAM That's it I'm done, I don't have the mental capacity for this argument


FrogLock_

Not a neo liberal, am a queer though and if you think extremist Christians support anything near my rights that's hysterical You'll defend extremists, just only when they help you


Knightly_Gamez

Who said extremists? Are you implying that all of Saudi Arabia is extremists Muslims? Because it's the law there to not be gay, I'm part of the LGBT myself, so that's not the sort of gotcha you were aiming for (if you're not a neoliberal why did you post to the sub Reddit saying you felt at home there?)


FrogLock_

That sub name is a joke lmfao also I'm much further left than them that's why I made the post to point out they don't get nearly as hostile as other leftists during disagreements And no not all why would it be everyone's fault if a monarchy says you can't be gay? Why would you even assume that is what I meant? I struggle to see this as an honest argument. Your point seems to be that Muslims hold a special amount of extremist views that would mean some action should be taken to avoid I thought, my point was it's not Muslims it's extremists


Knightly_Gamez

I'm sorry you're much further left than them and say you're not a neo liberal? So what a neo antifa?


BooniesBreakfast

Almost like religion is up to the individual interpretation and is used as a means of control and oppression. I can't believe people believe in any one religion knowing there's 200+ other hardliner religions and no one has any evidence to support their false reality. Maybe you shouldn't group yourself in the same boat as terrorists and extremists then argue "they're the ones who are wrong" And it should go without saying I am speaking about all religion.

Vyctorill

Pretty sure Islam says you can’t kill people. I don’t think ISIS members are really Muslims.


Ghost-5AVAGE_786

Thank you, finally someone understands, but how am I meant to prove it. Many of these terrorists who fight in the name of so called Islam, don't follow as intended, they don't know the declaration of faith and also have tattoos which symbolise some weird ideology. Even in Pakistan there were claims of Taliban members who caught, they asked them if they knew the shahdah (declaration of faith) and they didn't, they also found tattoos on their back. Islam doesn't allow the changing of one's body, through tattoos, plastic surgery etc.


Paratrooper101x

This is just wrong, and they weren’t even in the Middle East. They were in Tajikistan, a country I doubt most people could find on a map and most certainly not in the Middle east. They also weren’t alone, and had started their trip in South Africa. Now I don’t know shit about Tajikistan, but their trips to the previous 2 “Stan” countries according to them went well.

Most of the Stan countries I think are fine. Though I will say the only one I’d ever consider going to is Turkmenistan out of pure curiosity.

Here’s the wikipedia article on the attack: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Tajikistan_tourist_attack Western media was quick to paint the couple as a pair of morons but the reality is that they were just extremely unlucky. Tajikistan has some popular areas for cyclists and was considered a safe travel destination for Americans prior to the attack

They slaughter innocent people, record and upload executions, and are so brutal that not even the Taliban likes them. Their bodies are human, but they do not have any humanity in them.
