Peace be with you Janet
Thanks for the posts, they are very educating. I am sure you know that the Christian bible also incites terror and violence to our enemies. Here is St.Paul’s teaching about Christians clarion call to battle.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.
11
Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.
12
For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.
13
Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.
14
So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
15
and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.
16
In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one.
17
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18
With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit.
You know the Koran would make perfect sense if the passages you posted were intepreted with St.Pauls theology clarion call for Christian to battle. The difference is Christians do not battle against flesh and blood as does Islam teaches, Christians battle against the evil powers and principalities that influence the flesh.
Christians are filled with the power of God to love our enemies, Islam teaches to Kill or destroy your enemies of the flesh. Our enemies are not our seperated brothers and sisters in the flesh, our enemies are the evil principalities and powers that affect and influence our separated brothers and sisters to Kill one another.
The main reason I will never submit or subscribe to Islam is because Islam teaches “Lie-ing” or “to decieve” is a good Islam virtue.
Taqiyya = lying against unbelievers is a virtue and a religious duty according to the Qu’ran, Haddith (tradition), Islamic Law
Qu’ran
Sura 16:106 Establishes that there are circumstances that can “compel” a Muslim to tell a lie
Sura 3:28 This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends unless it is to “guard themselves”
Sura 40:28 A man is introduced as a believer, but one who must “hide his faith” among those who are not believers
Sura 2:225 “Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths but for the intention in your hearts”
Sura 66:2 “Allah has already ordained you ( O men), the dissolution of your oaths” Taken collectively these verses are interpreted to mean that there are circumstances when a Muslim may be “compelled” to deceive others for a greater purpose.
Haddith tradition
Bukhari 52:269 The prophet said, “War is deceit” after he murdered Ushayr Ibn Z arim and his 30 unarmed men, by Muhommads men, after he guaranteed them safe passage.
Bukhari 49:857 “He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a Liar, “Lying is Permitted when the end Justifies the Means.
Bukhari 84:64-65 (Speaking from a position of Power) Ali- confirms that “ lying is permissible in order to deceive an enemy”.
Bukhari 52:271 Ka’bbin Al- Ashraf at Muhommads insistence, his men dishonestly gained Ka’bs trust in order to bring him out of hiding, by stating there no longer are Muslims, and then brutally assisinated him.
Islamic law
Reliance of the traveler ( pg. 746) It is obligatory to Lie if the goal is obligatory:
