Be More Gentle with Non-Muslims

  Brother Akhe Abdullah, I do understand what you want to say. I guess you mean this aya:

5.57  O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will God produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- lowly with the  believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of God, and never afraid of  the reproaches of such as find fault. That is the grace of God, which He will  bestow  on whom He pleaseth. And God encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things. 

  And also this:

48.29  Muhammad is the apostle of God; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from God and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Taurat;  and their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which  sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick,and it stands on its  own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the  Unbelievers with rage at them. God has promised those among them who believe and  do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great Reward.

 And this:

58.22  Thou wilt not find any people who believe in God and the Last Day, loving  those who resist God and His Apostle, even though they were their fathers or their  sons, or their brothers, or their kindred. For such He has written Faith in their hearts,  and strengthened them with a spirit from Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein (for ever). God will be well pleased with them, and they with Him. They  are the Party of God. Truly it is the  Party of God that will achieve Felicity.

  May Allah reward you, I was just saying we can be strong but kind the same time. This is a part of dawa.

 Just in case they do not respect Islam or they deny Allah, we must not show this kidness. I am talking about the normal situations.

"easy on the Mumin" I say this alot because we have Muslims that will turn their backs on their own brothers and sisters in an effort to sway non-Muslims into accepting us.Some will be the first to condem the actions of their brothers beforeknowing if he is guilty of the charges,What about being easy on the believers?For example the case of the brother accused of trying to make a bomb to commit terrorist acts (with fingernail polish or peroxide).I'm not even trying to disagree with anyone just trying to say,be careful Shayton is always trying to trick us.Only Allah Knows.

NYC terror suspect pleads not guilty, kept in jail
Tom Hays, Associated Press Writer � 1 hr 36 mins ago
NEW YORK � An Afghan immigrant pleaded not guilty Tuesday to plotting a New York City terrorist attack with bombs made from beauty-supply chemicals and was ordered held without bail.

A lawyer for 24-year-old Denver airport shuttle driver Najibullah Zazi entered the plea in a federal courtroom in Brooklyn. Officials say he and co-conspirators bought products in Colorado containing hydrogen peroxide and acetone � key ingredients for homemade bombs.

Prosecutors believe Zazi received explosives training from al-Qaida in Pakistan and may have planned to target mass transit in the New York City area.

"I'd like to stop this rush to judgment because what I've seen so far does not amount to a conspiracy," said Zazi's attorney, J. Michael Dowling.

A law enforcement official confirmed Monday that investigators had identified three people believed to have been in on the scheme. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation continues.

The accomplices are suspected of traveling from New York City to suburban Denver this summer and using stolen credit cards to help Zazi stockpile bomb ingredients, authorities have said.

"I don't know the names of anybody else that allegedly conspired with Mr. Zazi," Dowling said Tuesday. "Those names have not been produced."

Before authorities made a series of raids in the case, police detectives showed a source � a Queens imam at a mosque where Zazi had once worshipped � photographs of him and three people considered possible suspects, court papers say. It was unclear whether those three were the same ones suspected of traveling to Denver.

There have been no reports that the bomb-making materials have been recovered.

Prosecutors allege that Zazi has admitted that while living in Queens, he traveled last year to Pakistan and received explosives training from al-Qaida. Security videos and store receipts show that when he returned and moved to Aurora, Colo., he and three others bought several bottles of beauty products over the course of several weeks, court papers said.

On Sept. 6, Zazi took some of his products into a Colorado hotel room outfitted with a stove on which he later left acetone residue, authorities said. He repeatedly sought another person's help cooking up the bomb, "each communication more urgent in tone than the last," the papers said.

The FBI was listening to Zazi and becoming increasingly concerned as the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and a New York visit by President Barack Obama approached, officials said. They decided to track him on Sept. 9 when he rented a car and drove to New York.

On Sept. 10, Zazi told the Queens imam in an intercepted phone call that he feared he was being watched, court papers said. The imam later tipped Zazi off, saying police had come around and asked questions, the papers said.

Zazi cut short a five-day trip and flew back to Denver on Sept. 12. He was arrested a week later and initially charged along with his father and the imam with lying to investigators.

A letter filed by Brooklyn prosecutors last week argued that Zazi should be jailed indefinitely because, as an immigrant with ties to Pakistan, he could flee, and because he "poses a significant danger" to the community.

Evidence gathered � including bomb-making instructions found on his laptop computer � shows "Zazi remained committed to detonating an explosive device" until he was arrested, the letter said.

Zazi's next court date has been set for Dec. 3.
