Silencing the Secularists 

by Idris Ahmed Osman
Saturday, May 17, 2008

 

Islam against Secularism:

The globally renowned cleric Sheikh Safar Al-Hawali identifies the origin of the term secularism, in his book Al-Almaniya (secularism in Arabic), as the renege and rebellion of the state (general public) against the Church in medieval Europe. The highly outspoken Sheikh is famous for his unyielding opposition to the deployment of American troops in Saudi Arabia in the first Gulf war. As a distinguished scholar and previously head of the faculty of theology in Ummul Qura (Macca); Secularism, he says, is the result of the Church’s incompatibility to keep pace with modern science and cope with the social advancements, its immersion in superstitions, which necessitated the public (State) to develop lack of confidence, loss of faith, hence adapt a lifestyle independent of all spiritual (religious) teachings. The advent of secularism in response to the superstition and corruption of the Church was natural, because it denied the natural laws of science and development which Islam, not only approves but also, encourages exploring and studying it:

Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things The noble Quran 41:53

Quote: “Secularism is generally the assertion that certain practices or institutions should exist separately from religion or religious belief. Alternatively, it is a principle of promoting secular ideas or values in either public or private settings over religious ways of thought. In one sense, secularism may assert the right to be free from religious rule and teachings, and freedom from the government imposition of religion upon the people, within a state that is neutral on matters of belief, and gives no state privileges or subsidies to religions.  It is a total separation of Church and State which is also known as (Laicite)”. Unquote. This is the definition of secularism; since the English writer George Jacob Holyoake coined the term secularism in 1846. Secularism was deemed positive in the case of the Church renouncing all sorts of scientific and social development. However it can not be justified within the house of Islam. Islam calls for science and social development and nurtures civilizations. Therefore secularism is negative in positive Islam. Unfortunately, secularists in our midst want to copy and import the Darwinian and Freudian anti-social behaviour, indecency, perversion, sexuality, immorality, introduced in Europe as a result of the Church’s irrational monasticism. Once these facts are noted, then there is no excuse or loophole for the disguised secularists and liberalists to portray the modest and pure covering of the Muslim woman, (Hijaab/Jilbaab), the Islamic education, the strict practice and application of the Sunnah as a foreign ideology imported from the Arab world!. It is a blasphemous and abominable statement itself imported from the enemies of Islam. To the sage one’s amazement; the transparent, voluptuous dresses exposing complexion, structure and charm of our sisters, namely the dirac, guntiino and malqabad, was never ashamed but had ever been a Somali tradition!. When she wore the tight jeans and shirt, the secularists never spoke out against it as strange western or eastern ideology and culture!. The clandestine conspiracy heralded by the secularists has always been to promote a misconception of Islam as an Arab religion, disharmonize between the Somali people and the rest of the Arab world, then introduce Islamic teachings as an Arab tradition. Islam has nothing to do with Arab nationalism, yet Islam fights against the discrimination of pan Arabism or nationalism launched by the Nasserite revolution and Baath party in Egypt and Syria/Iraq respectively. Majority of the great scholars in Islam were non Arabs. The prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam said: “There is no advantage for an Arab over a non Arab”. The only criteria and advantage is by piety (Taqwa).

 

Secular or Religious War?!.

Before this, We wrote in the Psalms, after the Message (given to Moses): My servants the righteous shall inherit the earth. The noble Quran 21:105

From the above verse, it is obvious that being righteous servant is the sole condition to overcome and get victory over any oppressor and inherit the earth.

Having lately been scrutinising the religious issues in politics, I have seen to it an inevitable duty to add little comments in order to illuminate for the perplexed and reassure the firm believer. It is to be borne in mind that no specific nationality, race, group or individual is a representative of Islam. In principle, the ideal values of Islam remain dogmatic ad-infinitum. For some, it is a misconception that Muslims are the people or followers of Islam and Islam is the religion. For others, it is an opportunity to satirize the good Muslims and defile the image of Islam. If a group of people arise to resist a secular rule and demand the infallible rule of Islam to be restored, whatever deficiencies that might be found in their procedure or method shall not necessarily have a negative effect or reflect on the perfect and ideal Islam. Neither shall it, in comparison, lend the least value to amend the corruption of secularism. If their actions conform to the truth they are the real men; if not, then a mere illusion but the truth can never be rendered accountable to their actions. The truth (Islam) is the truth in every age, place and circumstances. Our main problem is gauging the truth by the actions of men. With a pre-programmed mentality of personal complexity based on tribal and political differences, some are set to contradict every initiative of Islamic revival potentially perpetrated by their adversaries. The above said definitely concludes that, our tribal and political rivalries aside, the ideal and perfect application of Islam is the backbone of this Ummah. There is no group who can introduce their version or interpretation of Islam as it should basically conform to the fundamental sources (the Quran and Sunnah). Had a certain group or clan hijacked it and did so; it would have definitely been rejected. Any atrocities of terrorism from any group, death and destruction committed against innocents, should be very harshly condemned and rejected. A suitable example would be if any Muslim group were to slit the throats of worshippers in Churches or Synagogues, (as the Ethiopian troops did to worshippers in the Masjid); because the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam said: DO NOT KILL worshippers in their Churches and Synagogues, women and children (even in the state of war). Therefore, the values of Islam can not be labelled according to a certain clan or group. The secularists’ hypothetical conclusion of future wars is based on conflicts caused by scarce resources such as Water, Oil, population explosion hence territorial expansion, Star Wars, etc. This is the secular belief and view on the materialistic nature of the world. The fundamentalist Churches across the US hold different opinion of inevitable future decisive religious war as a precursor to Armageddon (Qiyaamu Saaca)


H. S. with Catholic Church.    Afeworki with Israeli President   H.S. with Orthodox Church.

Historical Overview:

KJV. Zephaniah 2:12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.

KJV. 2Chronicles 14: 12-13.So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.

KJV. 2Chronicles 14: 8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.

THE ROMAN AND PERSIAN EMPIRES:

The Himyar dynasty ruled ancient Yemen. The Abyssinian King invaded Yemen and took over power from the Himyar. The Abyssinians ruled Yemen for (70) seventy years. The king built a church in Yemen and called the Arabs to come for pilgrimage rather than the Kaabah. The Himyari king, Seif Bin Di Yazin, sought military help from the Roman Emperor. The Roman emperor said: Abyssinia is a Christian monarchy, a country closer to me than you, pagan Arab Bedouins. Yemen was not a Muslim country at the time, but a pagan Arab. It is so evident that the spiritual connection has been prevalent throughout history. Later a contemporary rival of the Roman Empire, king of the Persian Empire, a pagan Zoroastrian, supplied the Yemenis with fighters who defeated the Abyssinians.

THE CRUSADERS/FREEMASONS:

The Crusaders who conquered Jerusalem arose from Clermont in France in the year 1095. Eleventh century Europe was ruled by the church. Pope Urban II gave orders to wage war of the cross on the Muslim caliphate and recapture Jerusalem. The knights of the temple of Solomon (aka the templers) who later seized the dome of the rock developed into freemasons. They deviated from the common path of Christianity such that Pope Clement of France declared them heretics and expelled them from France. They got safe haven in Scotland which was at that time in civil war with England. In 1603, Queen Elizabeth’s death gave the freemasons in Scotland a chance to come to power via the Scottish King James V, then Scotland and England united to form a new United Kingdom. The Freemasons, with hierarchy degree of powers, include influential members and patrons from all walks of life. Freemasons aim to establish a world in which they dominate whereby the rest of humanity is subjugated to an inferior level. They are solemnly set to destroy any force that stands against their mission; thus Islam being a force of justice for all mankind, any Islamist movement anywhere in the world albeit tiny horn of Africa would be seen as the biggest threat.

THE NEO-CONSERVATIVES/NEW WORLD ORDER:

In the US, in 1960s and 70s, Leo Strauss taught the need for the return to the conservative lifestyle and the challenge between the world of good and evil. The evil to date was the Soviet Union. Furthermore, in the Islamic world, the neo-conservatives channelled their hostility towards the prevalent religious movement in Egypt, the fundamental reformist Muslim brotherhood (Ikhwanul Muslimeen), led by the martyr Sayed Qutb. The Straussian (Neo-conservatives) fought the liberalists in the US and believed that individual freedom, liberalism, caused corruption, hence adapted the more stringent political and social views based on fundamental biblical interpretations. The neoconservative’s principles were devised to counteract against the growing collapse of American political power. It was necessary therefore to undertake a social reform to get rid of the liberalists who pioneered social breakdown. The right wing neoconservatives who recruited to this school of thought included Paul Wolfowitz, Francis Fukiyama, Donald Rumsfield, Dick Cheney, William Kristol, Colin Powell, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. as well as others. The political aspect of neo-conservatism united with the fundamentalist Christian Churches. The mutual interest between the Zionist entity and freemasons began when the leading Zionist banker Rothschild blackmailed freemasonic Britain in the loan it needed in its war against Napoleon of France. At last, the New World Order whose main vision is to eliminate any threat opposing its overall world dominion and enslavement of the inferior nations on earth. Islamist revival is a nightmare!.

 

The Bitter Reality:

Somalia is under siege!. Its sovereignty is undermined. Peace achievement in Somalia is deliberately suppressed. This is what every Somali, regardless of clan or political affiliation, should be convinced. The New World Order stretched its poisonous tentacle towards the horn of Africa. The same Neoconservatives who orchestrated Iraqi attack have regionally assigned this task directly to Ethiopia and indirectly to Eritrea. If Somalis do not put aside their tribal and political differences it is not impossible that, in the long run, the UN might be manipulated to mandate official declaration of (unofficially occupied) Somalia an occupied country. This is what they say about the unofficial occupation of Somalia, quote: General Gabre Heard is the overall commander of all Ethiopian military forces in Somalia. General Gabre has been criticized for the Ethiopian military's indiscriminate use of heavy weapons in civilian areas, and the use of these weapons in retribution attacks on areas where insurgent forces are suspected to be operating, following attacks on Ethiopian forces. On February 22nd, Gabre reportedly slapped Transitional Federal Government President Abdullahi Yusuf twice across the face, following a heated argument. Gabre has been often described as the "true ruler" of Somalia, as the vast majority of military operations in Somalia are carried out by his forces, and the vast majority of military power in the country is controlled by him. This has perpetuated ARS, opposition and insurgent claims that the TFG is a puppet government under the thumb of Ethiopia. Gabre has little to do with the TFG based in Baidoa, dealing mostly with his close allies in government: Mogadishu mayor and CIA-linked ex-ARPCT warlord Mohamed Omar Habeb, indicted war criminal, ex-ARPCT warlord and Mogadishu Police Chief Abdi Hasan Awale Qeybdiid and the TFG security agency head Mohamed Warsame Darwish. Unquote. Having known this fact, then rest assured that there is no authority for any of the parties struggling for power in the country. Peace can not be attained as long as there are external forces (Ethiopia-CIA and Eritrea-Mossad) influencing Somalis to oppose each other. Due to reckless statements and empty manoeuvres, the country has been blacklisted on a level it is light years away in terms of both logistics and technology. Unfortunately, the punishment fell on these helpless innocents, while the real criminals are still unscathed and surviving in luxury:

 

How can everlasting peace be realized while we still do not feel the extent of the perilous future ahead, if circumstances continue in this way for a couple of years to complete the second decade of the civil war?!. Last but not least, this is the bitter reality, the so called leaders and politicians shall develop immediate inner conscience and humane attitude to save the people and country, otherwise they shall all regret at different times. I am quite sure that at this stage every group or individual shall accuse, the other, pointing fingers at each other, of being responsible; but this naïve tit for tat must stop to prioritize and sacrifice for the rescue of the lost country and dying people.

 These threads give all the laughs I need for the day, wish I had the time to follow them constantly.

I just wish our minds were geared toward other things in life besides politics and religion, I wish we Somalis gave more time to healing each other's wounds and reviving our pride and our suugaan, perhaps the best in the sub saharan Africa.

 Arawelo or shall i say undertaker;you are rather confused fellow.
You speak of Democracy yet you don't understand truly what Democracy
is all about. Let us simplify and put it this way:
If there are 100 of us 49% of these 100 wise and have common sense,and the
rest 51 have destructive ideas, in a democratic system the 51% will
override the 49%,that means 1 person out of the hundred gave legitimacy
for croocked ideas to prevail;only 1 out of the hundred people.

America was never Democratic in that sense;never was, never is currently.
america is a republic,does the word delegate(s) mean anything to you .

About your quotes of certain half Ayat from the Qur'an or shall i say your
borrowing them from Zoharists who make unsurpassed efforts to attacking
Islam is sad to say the least. I say sad because you pretend to promote  
individual freethinking yet you can't think for yourself. Qura'an the only
Book known to man that asks its readers to THINK. No book Holy or otherwise
tells it's readers to Think independently but the Furqaan. It goes so far as
to entertain the opinion of the unbelievers that life is only this one,nothing
after it, so Qur'an aska them to evaluate both sides of the coin. If there is none
it says you have lost nothing , all Al Rasul is asking is be good to each other ,but
what about if the other side of the arguement is right and there is life after death
then what?! No Religion in the world entertained the arguement of the oppisite side as
Islam did. About your arguement which can on the srface appear to be valid;which is why
Women are not entiteled to the same inherentance, it is simple to make the case.

Firstly Islam is the only religion that gave the right to inheret to women, No any other
religion known to man did, are you aware of any?. secondly it did not leave it there,it went
so far as to require men to take care of the female members of the family,which means the half
inheretence is only for her own personal use. Now i take that offer any time of the day.
I know guys of my family who refused the resposibilty that comes with the half inheretence knowing
that they can not take care of the female members of the family and asked equal sharing so
they can be free from the responsibilty that comes with it.

About Witness, My dear Arawelo aka Undertaker, it is well known that memory is the property of Men.
Great french noses (Perfume designers) will tell you that they design all perfumes for men
only. When i asked one of them why,his answer was MEMORY belongs to men.

Men remeber much better thanBack then when i worked in a store in US during my student years i put
this to test. Males described incedents accurately then females,the same occurnce in the same place
that both witnessed. Males described much detailed includind the minutes of the Outfits of
a person wore. Don't Somalis have a saying: Ma umulaa hilmaami ogaa.

What does that mean, does it mean Men are much of a Human than women?! No absolutely not.
Islamicly speaking it just means we are different gender for different pupose;one completes the other,
not that one is in competion with the other.

How do i know it is Arawelo; well ,when you repeate in pain women are said to be thi and that in the Qura'an
but WHY,WHY; then i know it is a woman and it is you.
If you were a male you wouldn't cry about it because men enjoy being dominent, not because
they are pretending no, they are just created that way, all men Muslim or otherwise full of Ego.

Now think about it, is it too much given to men,they don't cry about it
that you have a womb, in Arabic Rahim, one of the names Allah attributed himself to comes from that word
of mercy.

 VOTE FOR SECULAR GOVERNMENT
SECULAR GOVERNMENT IS THE CURE OF THE WHOLE WORLD, NOT ONLY THE MUSLIM WORLD.  

Democracy is another completely misundertood concept in my oppinion, democracy is not a western ideology its a human necessity, no one needs to be subjugated and forced to something they don't wish to adhere to.

 -.. About the stature of woman in Islam
In Sahih Al-Bokhary, menses chapter: the prophet says about women:" those deficient in
mind and religion" that's a devaluation of woman stature as it is obvious from that as the
meaning is obvious " deficient in mind and religion", but why? Why?
That's because woman has no similar stature as man, as she exists for the sake of man
Woman in cow chapter (Surat Al-Baqarah) 2:82 not equal to man in testimony, as it is
supposed to have 2 witnesses for testimony if they were men, but if they were women it
must be 2 women in the place of a men, but can we replace the 2 men by 4 women, No
there must be on a man among the witnesses, so her witness in half of that of a man
That's because woman has no similar stature as man, as she exists for the sake of man
Woman in cow chapter (Surat Al-Baqarah) 2:82 not equal to man in testimony, as it is
supposed to have 2 witnesses for testimony if they were men, but if they were women it
must be 2 women in the place of a men, but can we replace the 2 men by 4 women, No
there must be on a man among the witnesses, so her witness in half of that of a man
The heritage: the same thing applies; woman inherits half of man's heritage, as in woman
chapter (Surat An-Nisa') 4:11
It is really a strange situation why? Why? Why woman is devaluated,
they are telling that's for the heritage to be confined to the family only, and so what, let it
go outside the family, that's a legal right must be given to the one who deserves it fairly
So there is no fairness and justice .no equality between man and woman
The most serious of what I have read is what was mentioned in Sahih Al Bokhary, the
prayer book, a converse saying:" woman is like dog and donkey as she disrupts the
prayer, if someone touches woman before praying and he had already performed
ablution, his ablution is ruined and he must do ablution again
Man is thinking why? Did the Muslim woman think of that situation? Would she accept
that? She is subdued and can't objec
It is even More than that, really I am feeling a real bitterness when I am reading such
things, as woman was created on God's image, she has her own worth, dignity ,her own
feelings, and stature, that is unfair
Could you imagine in woman chapter (Surat An-Nisa'), verse 15 and 34: it was mentioned
that man or the husband can punish his wife by striking her, abandoning her and
imprisoning her to death
Also something strange in woman chapter (Surat An-Nisa') 24: speaking about a women
being merchandise(ZAWAJ MUTCAH), for a man to have a pleasure with her he should give her a wage
It is Ok if he marries, but that's a temporary marriage, he gives her
money for the time he spends with her an hour or two, a day or two
So it is a moral issue and a holy sacrament
what about woman what she will get in the paradise? iwm,,xuurul ceyn nimanka helayaan,, women?
atleast instead xurul ceyn ninka la siin lahaa maxuu naagtiisa ula joogi wayay sidi aduunka?
hadii ninka helo xurul ceyn what about gabdhah? coz raga iyo dumarka duunka mid bey ahaayeen,,akhirane.. mid ma ahan? maxey helayan? ninka wu bashala? naagta? maxey sameyn? yaa haayo jawaab pls?
nothing, she will get nothing in the paradise, so even in the paradise
there is no equality between man and woman

 HOL STOP CES..
jsoomane RELIGIOUS FORUM MA AHAN HALKAAN,balse let me give u 1 example
2) The days of creation:
It was mentioned in seven verses of the quran that the days of creation were six days
Those verses are in the Prostration chapter (Surat As-Sajdah), Jonah chapter (Surat
Yunus), Hud chapter (Surat Hud), The Criterion chapter (Surat Al-Furqan), The Heights
chapter (Surat Al-A'raf), Qaf chapter (Surat Qaf) and the iron chapter (Surat Al-Hadid)
While in distinguished chapter (Surat Fussilat) 9-12 :" "Do you verily disbelieve in Him,
Who created the earth in two Days .., and measured therein its sustenance in four Days
Then He Istawâ (rose over) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to
the earth: "Come both of you willingly or unwillingly." They both said: "We come,
willingly." Then He completed and finished from their creation as seven heavens in two
Days",
So the total number of days of creation in that verse is eight days: 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 days
While in the other seven verses they were six days only, so were they six or eight?
Imam Al-Nasfy said in his exegesis, part 4, and page 130:"God created the earth in two
days, measured therein its sustenance in four Days Then He completed and finished
from their creation as seven heavens in two Days" so that will be contradicting with his
saying six days " in The Heights chapter (Surat Al-A'raf)
Now there were multiple qurans with different versions, contradictions among its text
and also contradictions in its facts
So On what basis would the Muslim build his faith? Would he build his faith and his
eternal life on uncertainty?

 To all of you bullying Undertaker, why do you want to silence him, why not debate with him if you think you can beat him, or is that our mentality as Muslim anyone who critiques us is a Satan and must be attacked at the Juggular. grow up you idiots and make sense.

Reading this article I couldn't help but think of one thing, I'm a muslim and I have a problem with Islam more then I have with the secular world, simply becasue, regardless of what is good about Islam and what is not, there is no freedom of thought, you're placed in a box and there is no thinking out of the box kind of mentality, common sense is abandoned. But Islam has a immeasurable goodness to it, decency and practice of self discipline, but if only there was peace for people who differ, why can't some one has the freedom to choose between hell and heaven and let be free until God judges them, we all know God does not fall from the sky to beahead anyone who defies the quran who are we to blow them up. SECULAR GOVERNMENT IS THE CURE OF THE WHOLE WORLD NOT ONLY THE MUSLIM WORLD.  

Democracy is another completely misundertood concept in my oppinion, democracy is not a western ideology its a human necessity, no one needs to be subjugated and forced to something they don't wish to adhere to.

 Itis not like you must pay this tax because  you are not muslim. Muslims must pay too. Muslims pay more tax than non muslims in Sharia law. Muslims must pay 2.50% non muslims must pay 2.00% They pay less. The sharia law will fight  with you if you dont pay tax if you are muslim or non muslim. We all know the hadiths when our messenger s. a.w died and some muslims stoped paying jakah and abu bakar said who ever dont pay jakah, will face punishment. I dont remember the exactly hadith.
anti-dabodhilif @ 5/18/2008 9:25 AM EST
  I exposed you picking few words from the quran and now you want jump in to the hadits lol. I have seen that before. You are not the first one. 9:29 itis talking about tax. Allah said fight with them untill they pay tax. What is wrong with that? That is not only the law of our religion itis also law of every countries. Where ever you live if  you dont pay tax, the government will fight with you. If you you try to be hero and use gun, they will kill you. Be logic man

 TO:baghdad BOB..zakariya boutros is not alone exposing these arguments but also famous islamic shcolars
TO: ANTI-DIBIDHILIF can u please expain these quranic and hadith versus?
God told him to fight the ‘people of the Book’ (Christians &
Jews) in Surah Al Tawba (2:29) ‘Fight those who believe not in Alla and the Last
Day … nor acknowledge the religion of truth (Islam) from among the People of
the Book until they pay the Jizyah (tax) with willing submission, and feel
themselves subdued …’(qatilul la diin la yu,minuna bilaahi wa laa bil yuumul akhir,wala yuxarimuuna maa xaramalaah,wala yadiinuna diin al haq,xataa yacdul jizyah wahum saagiruun)
Imam Abdullah Yusuf Ali, comments on this verse saying, “A straight fight in the
cause of right; go forth bravely to strive and struggle, and prove yourselves
worthy of Alla”
(The Meaning of the Holy Quran P.446)

So killing of the Christians is an Islamic legislation, that's not punishable

In Sahih Al-Bokhary:” Narrated Ibn Omer: the prophet said:" I was commanded to fight
people till they testify that, no God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah,
perform prayers and pay the alms, by doing that they may rescue their blood and money
from me except for the dues for Islam and God will recompense them” (1)(umirtu an uqatila naas xata yashhaduu ala ilaaha ila laah…….)
Notice “rescue their blood and money from me” so one should testify that “No God but
Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” or he will be killed by the sward, so that
was an existing principle

in Sahih Al-Bokhary it was mentioned 7 times
- in Sahih Muslim it was mentioned 6 times
- in Sonan Abe-Dawûd it was mentioned 4 times
- in Sonan Al-Tormouzy it was mentioned 5 times

That’s an order from God; does God order to kill man to enforce him for embracing the
religion?
That is an order for killing for Islam
For those claiming that wars in Islam were defensive wars and not for propagation of the
religion, here in that converse there is a clear indication for killing to enforce people to say
“No God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” if they say that “they may
rescue their blood and money” that is very clear

 Baqdad bob I was thinking about other anti- islam webside but these days they are alot. They always use 2:191 like undertaker did. Look his comment again. He used 2:191 escape 2:192 then used  2:193. He thinks we are dump. I forgot he escape the most important verse 2:190.  Let me post from 2:190 to 2:193
002.190
YUSUFALI: Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. YUSUFALI: 2:191 And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.002.192

YUSUFALI: But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.02.193
YUSUFALI: And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression. Undertaker dont want past 2:190 and 2:192. Now we see the whole meaning.

PART 2(second face)
THE TWO FACES OF ISLAM HIDDEN & MANIFEST

Mohammed’s character in Medina
After Mohammed moved to Medina in the year 622 AD and his followers grew in
strength and number, he became a relentless warrior, intent on spreading his religion
by the sword, and this is the message that now lives on. Here is some evidence from
Quran of this stage:
1. He claimed that God told him to kill his opponents in Surah Al baqarah (2:191)
‘And slay them wherever ye catch them …’(waqtuluuhim xeythu zaqaftumuuhum)
2. He claimed that God told him to kill whoever rejects Islam in Surah Al Baqara
(2:193) ‘And fight them on until there is no tumult or oppression, and there
prevail justice and faith in Alla …’(waqatiluuhum xataa laa takuunu fitnah wayakunu diinu lilaah)
3. He claimed that God told him to fight the ‘people of the Book’ (Christians &
Jews) in Surah Al Tawba (2:29) ‘Fight those who believe not in Alla and the Last
Day … nor acknowledge the religion of truth (Islam) from among the People of
the Book until they pay the Jizyah (tax) with willing submission, and feel
themselves subdued …’(qatilu ladiin la,yu,minuuna bilaah wa laa bil yuumul akhiri....walaa ya diinuna diin al haq minaladiin uutul kitaab(christians+jewish) xata ycdul jizyah wahum saagiruun)

4- (Surah Al Tawbah 9: 12) “… Fight ye the chiefs of Unfaith [infidel] …”(faqatilu aimatul kufr inaham la imana laham..
5- (Surah Al Tawbah 9: 123) “O ye who believe fight the unbelievers who gird you
about. And let them find firmness in you and know that Alla is with those who
fear Him”(yaa ayahul la diin aaminuu qatiluu ala diin yaluunakum minal kufaari  walyajiduu fiikum gildah....)
6- (Sura Al Anfal 8: 65) “O Prophet rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are
twenty amongst you, patint and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a
hundred they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people
without understanding”(yaa ayuha nabiyo xarisil mumina calal qitaal in yakum cishruun saabiruun yaglibuu mi,ateyn...)
7- (Surah Al Baqara 2: 216) “Fighting is prescribed upon you …”(kutiba caleykum al qitaal..)

PART 1
THE TWO FACES OF ISLAM
HIDDEN & MANIFEST
quranic versus contradicting it self,,peaceful vesrsus vs versus inciting for killing Unbeliever
this study will demonstrate a certain side of Islam,
which has not been precisely portrayed by islamic scholars
Osama Bin Laden on the ALJAZEERA  network. Based on this premise, Bin
Laden, the Taliban  among others, have
openly declared war against christians and jewish  in the name of Islam, using
quotations from the Quran such as:
And those of the people of the Book (Jews & Christians) who aided them (the
unbelievers), Allah (God) did take them down from their strongholds. And cast
terror into their hearts, so that some ye slew, and some ye made prisoners.
And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods’
(Surah Al Ahzab 33:26 and 27)(wa anzala la diin daahiruuhum min ahlil kitaab min sayaasiihim,waqadafa fiiquluubihil al rubca,fariiqan taqtuluun,wa ta,siruuna fariiqan,wa uurazakum ardahum,wa diyaarahum, wa amwaalahum,wa arsan.....)
Many are then confused; is Islam is a religion of violence, or one of peace?
THE FIRST FACE OF ISLAM
Mohammed’s character in Mecca
In Mecca, where Mohammed started his new religion in the year 610 A.D, he was not
yet strong. To be accepted by all people, he presented a peaceful and loving picture of
Islam, avoiding any mention of violence, and here are some quotations from the
Quran about that first stage:
1. Mohammed was told to be patient with his opponents in Surah Al Muzzammil
(73:10) ‘And have patience with what they say, and leave them with noble(dignity)( wasbirhum cala maa yaquuluuhum wahjurhum hajran jamiila)

2. Mohammed was told not to impose Islam by force in Surah Al baqarah (2: 256)
Let there be no compulsion in religion’(laa ikraaha fi diin)
3. Mohammed was told to speak pleasantly to ‘people of the Book’ (Christians and
Jews) in Surah Al Ankabut (29:45) ‘And dispute ye not with the people of the
Book, except with means better (than mere disputation) … but say: we believe in
the Revelation which has come down to us and that which came down to you; Our
God and your God is One; and it is to Him we bow (in Islam)’(wala tujaadiluu ahlal kitaaba ilaa bilataa ahsan waquuluu aamana biladii unzila ileynaa wa unzila ilaahukum,wa ilaahunaa, waa ilaahakum waaxid,wa naxna lahu muslimuun)

 HOL must think any article writen in academic vernacular, with images and quotes from the Holy Quran qualifies as something worth presenting. This is no more than vain attempt to frame the Somali conflict in theological prespective "Secularism vs. Religion", oh please. Lets us not sully the great name of Islam and Quran in this filty war of politics and tribal competition. Ethiopia is but an aspect of this war and Christianity further less.
fiqicigaal @ 5/17/2008 6:10 PM EST
 And to add insult to injury the other day the Puntland authoriy have handed innocent civilians from ogaden to the Ethiopa authority and the same thing has happened in Hargeisa when the illegal authority of NW somalia also handed two civilians to the Ethiopian authority for sale . How low  can some Somalis stoop and how evil can they be to hand other Somalis to the enemy ? this is an act of total animosity and the people of ogaden should by all means stop turning the other cheek and see revenge which should have been the last resort in a normal world  
@ 5/17/2008 4:41 PM EST
 
Idris, among all article writen on somalia since last view years, I have to say idris has articulated our problem and put it into correct prospective. Ethopian and neoconservative movement have seen somalis's rich cutltural and historical which based on Islam and enterpenourship a threat to interest of allaince of Zoinst, Orthodox christian and western neoconservative. since tribe is the only thing that can divid somalis, it played out to be captilaze and expoliate by our enemy. no doubt it worked fot them due to low self conscious of somali politicians and lack of nationalism among somalis. One thing all Somalis agree was their archenemy of ethopian interest to undermine existance of powerfull and strong somali governments until they found some of who facilitate to acheive their dream. Tribal difference among the somalis is not new phenomina, but what is new is offering unconditional support of ethopia by few somalis elders who will soon fade way from history.
