What is a concern for me in current times is that people do not have
a prophet and decide themselves( or listen to extremists) and then we
have these bloodbaths. I don't agree that people should just go around
killing others, but if what you say is right then I am justified to kill
whoever I want to if I say the Quran allows me to do that because it's
considered just?
Ahh, but one had better be REAL careful in their decision. The justifications are actually really limited. I think most killing has little, if nothing to do with religion... |

Yes, most killing has little to do with religion. Which is why people's justifications don;t make sense. And why we all must be careful who to trust maybe?

Martha, what I wanted to clear was two things: First, what I am saying is that the Biblical commands of killings and destruction cannot be from God. Because one of God's attributes is the Just. God, in my belief will not command anyone to kill innocent people, old, children, babies, even trees? as supposedly commanded in the Bible. The commands to fight and eliminate those who cause mischief is a just command. The Quran is clear that when those who are fighting you stop their aggression, you stop as well. And take a life only through the way of justice. Second, I am going to present to you some facts here and before I do that, I want to be clear that anyone who kills or orders to kill innocent lives is wrong and must be condemned and held responsible for their act. Justice should prevail. Apart from what is on the air, the fact is that in the last three decades alone, its the Muslims that had been the victims. Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq are just some examples. Many MILLION Muslims have been killed by what would easily qualify as Christian armies right in front of our eyes with deceptions, in the name of freedom, democracy and so on. The bottom line, the truth is replaced with a staged and well crafted word game to keep people like you to not see the truth and reality so this massacre to continue. Hasan |

Salaam brother Hasan!
Just a clip of the old news: Link: The Despoiling Of America How George W. Bush became the head of the new American Dominionist Church/State Clip: The First Prince of the Theocratic States of
It happened quietly, with barely a mention in the media. Only the Washington Post dutifully reported it.[1] And only Kevin Phillips saw its significance in his new book, American Dynasty.[2] On December 24, 2001, Pat Robertson resigned his position as President of the Christian Coalition. Behind the scenes religious conservatives were abuzz with excitement. They believed Robertson had stepped down to allow the ascendance of the President of the Robertson�s act was symbolic, but it carried a secret and solemn revelation to the faithful. It was the signal that the Bush administration was a government under God that was led by an anointed President who would be the first regent in a dynasty of regents awaiting the return of Jesus to earth. The President would now be the minister through whom God would execute His will in the nation. George W. Bush accepted his scepter and his sword with humility, grace and a sense of exultation. As Antonin Scalia, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court explained a few months later, the Bible teaches and Christians believe �� that government �derives its moral authority from God. Government is the �minister of God� with powers to �revenge,� to �execute wrath,� including even wrath by the sword��[3] George W. Bush began to wield the sword of God�s revenge with relish from the beginning of his administration, but most of us missed the sword play. I have taken the liberty to paraphrase an illustration from Leo Strauss, the father of the neo-conservative movement, which gives us a clue of how the hiding is done: �One ought not to say to those whom one wants to kill, �Give me your votes, because your votes will enable me to kill you and I want to kill you,� but merely, �Give me your votes,� for once you have the power of the votes in your hand, you can satisfy your desire.�[4] Notwithstanding the advice, the President�s foreign policy revealed a flair for saber rattling. He warned the world that �nations are either with us or they�re against us!� His speeches, often containing allusions to biblical passages, were spoken with the certainty of a man who holds the authority of God�s wrath on earth, for he not only challenged the evil nations of the world, singling out Iraq, Syria, Iran, and North Korea as the �axis of evil,� but he wielded the sword of punishment and the sword of revenge against his own people: the American poor and the middle class who according to the religious right have earned God�s wrath by their licentiousness and undisciplined lives. End of quote --------------------------- And he also has his flock to help him: American Christian Fundamentalist Leader Calls For Global War), TV Evangelist John Hagee Wants War With Iran, and He Wants It Now! by Bill Barnwell
link: Destroy Islam clip:
By David Corn 13/03/08 "Mother Jones" -- -- Senator John McCain hailed as a spiritual adviser an Ohio megachurch pastor who has called upon Christians to wage a "war" against the "false religion" of Islam with the aim of destroying it. tnc |

Salam TNC,
thanks for the clips. Every act shows the intention behind. Doesn't matter how it is portrayed. Some times you think, may be not knowing was better, but how can you look away from reality when it is revealed to you? It looks as if Hitler and his evil forces are born again, only this time much bigger and more violent, not to mention under the cover of a savior to this world. Hasan |

They don't teach Christians the truth, George Bush is there leader as clearly stated in his apointment to office; he is head of the "Christian colation". That is the unifing Christian's Churches body.
