New Book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9756173084/ref=lpr_g_1/002-0432698-5395215?n=507846&s=ebooks&v=glance - Messenger Muhammad Asks: Hey Osama.. Why Did You Kill?

A survey about Islam, Muslim, Muhammad (sav), Jihad and Terrorism

This book answers these basic questions: "What is Islam? Who is Muhammad (sav)? Who is called a Muslim? What is Islamic Struggle (Jihad)? Is Terrorism an Islamic method? Can those who apply non-Islamic methods be representatives of Islam and Muslims? Can one reach success and get Allah's consent with non-Islamic methods?" It tells the differences between Jihad (Islamic methods of struggle) and Terrorism (evil methods of struggle). It is an invitation to repentance for the cruel who use both individual (organizational) terrorism and state terrorism. And at the same time, it introduces the illuminating profile of the exemplifying life of Muhammad (sav); it is for those who seek the truth.

How can this be a threat to anyone's way of life?  I live smack dab in the middle of a western society and my Islamic identity, my morals, ethics and God-consciousness and my way of life are quite intact. 

Way of life is a choice people make, not something that can be forced upon them.  People of the world do not need "western products" at low prices.  The real price of these products is far too high (the rich getting richer on the backs of the poor).  It is not about way of life, it is about the consequences of the world economy the way it is going.

Peace, ummziba.

"Seckin Islamoglu." A Turk.

No wonder we Turks are the first to receive and communicate the messages of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to Usama bin Ladin and others.  

Astaghfirullah, the title of the book is really bad.

how can you force your culture on people who don't want it, and at the same time acusing them of forcing their way of life on you

Assalamu Alaikum

AK, do you really believe that Osama is a "myth"...a fictional character the US made up?  Are you saying that all terrorism which "Osama" and his Al-Q group have claimed responsibility for is also simply a "myth"?  I guess his niece, Wafah Dufour, who posed nude (only with a feather boa wrapped around her and a pair of high heel shoes) for the cover of GQ magazine's Jan. 2006 issue was a "myth" too.

I realize you don't like the US, but you go a bit too far in your accusations which makes others look at you much like they look at people who come here just to spread slander regarding Islam.  I'm not saying there may be some credence to what you have to say, but you say it in such a way that it makes you simply come across as a narrow minded "American Basher".  I'm sorry but it truly is not becoming nor does it solve the problem or settle any disputes.  It merely causes more.

Obviously, America is the new colonial power that continues the destruction and exploitation process that was not completed by the Spanish, Portuguese, British, French and Dutch imperialists.

It invades Muslims countries, takes Muslim resources of livelihood under its control, tortures Muslims in open and secret torture centres all around the world and rapes Muslim women in Iraqi prisons and elsewhere.

Compared with American state terrorism and violence, Usama seems like a very gentle warrior, even if all the "terrorist" acts attributed to him were really carried out by him.

When one thinks of the American state's disgusting actions against the sole ummah that worships Allah alone and nobody else (like Jesus who is worshipped by Christians as the son of god and even a part of God himself), all kinds of hatred for the American State (and not necessarily all of its people) sounds fair.

When I think of what this government does to the religion of Allah and its followers, I can't help saying a hearty "amin" to the prayer of the Prophet Nuh (Noah) cited in the Qur'an:

Qur'an; Surah Nuh, ayat 26 through 28

And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!  
 
"For, if Thou dost leave (any of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones.  
 
"O my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all) believing men and believing women: and to the wrong-doers grant Thou no increase but in perdition!" 

Assalamu Alaikum fehmi,

( fehmi ) "Compared with American state terrorism and violence, Usama seems like a very gentle warrior, even if all the "terrorist" acts attributed to him were really carried out by him".

While I feel the pain resulting from illegal wars being fought by US, I would like to say that it is always better not to bring Osama into discussions related to Islam or Muslim followers. The reason is that Osama has nothing to do with Islam and Muslims. His ways of fighting are totally illegal and unislamic. He is not the soldier of Islam. The soldier of Islam is not allowed to kill innocent civilians by Allah and His Messenger ( SAW ) regardless of the gravity of provocations.

( fehmi )

When I think of what this government does to the religion of Allah and its followers, I can't help saying a hearty "amin" to the prayer of the Prophet Nuh (Noah) cited in the Qur'an:

Qur'an; Surah Nuh, ayat 26 through 28

And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!  
 
"For, if Thou dost leave (any of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones.  
 
"O my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all) believing men and believing women: and to the wrong-doers grant Thou no increase but in perdition!" 

These verses above describe the situation at the time of Prophet Noah ( pbuh ), but we can not wish this way for unbelievers because if we keep this level of thinking towards unbelievers, how would we convey the message of Islam to them that should be our prime goal? Moreover, it is the government that is doing, therefore, its unjust policies should be condemned. But, still there are many American people who are innocent of what their government is doing.

I understand that things are tough for us, but we have to do what we have been assigned. And when we do what we are assigned, Allah's blessings will be with us. The trials come to believers to raise the level of their faith.

Let us all follow the true message of Islam, and do what Allah and His Messenger told us to do regardless of troubled situations.

Peace

 

Salam,

I also think that the title is not good at all. StafeEllah ya Rabi!

Also, I think that here, they are 2 issues that shall not be mixed up: religion and politics.

I think that in this case religion is used by both parts to serve their political interests. For example, you have on one side some islamists (I am not sure of the word here but you get the idea) who use Islam to recruit people to serve a political agenda. Whether that political agenda is good for some people or not, that is not the matter here. But religion is used to attract people. On the other hand, you have Bush and the evangelical christians talking about necessary crusades and mixing on purpose some political issues with Islam (if you notice and I read many articles about it, each time terrorism is mentionned, you see images of muslims who have nothing to do with that, so there is a confusion-done deliberetally as far as I am concerned- to link in the mind of people Islam to terrorism) and gain the support of people and justify the cost of war, only to secure oil and strategical points.

One of these strategical points and the most important one is Israel. The religion in itself is not so important but by its position, it works as a satellite for the US in a very very intersting location in the Middle East. They are a nuclear power and are not far from Iran, from all the places with extremely valuable ressources. If Israel was bouddhist, I am sure they would find a link between their culture and Buddism just to make sure this satellite there is serving their political interests.

Actually, there is a jewish sect called Neturei karta and they are extremely religious. Well, they REJECT THE EXISTENCE OF ISRAEL!! they are jewish but they think this is a crime to steal land and kill Palestinians. They always protest with Muslims for Palestine. If you really follow your religion, I do not see how you can commit any major crime.

Here is their website in the US MashAllah! Enjoy:
