Quote:Done.


 
Sheikh Hamza Yusuf said the following in the wake of the attack.


 


 

Hamza Yusuf is one of the leading proponents of classical learning in Islam. He has promoted Islamic sciences and classical teaching methodologies throughout the world. He has also been a strong advocate for social justice, peace, and conviviality among peoples and places. For several years, he has argued that the “them versus us” problem is fundamentally flawed, as he considers himself one of “them” as well as one of “us.”




 

Also, you mentioned that Islam is incompatible with democracy. Refer to Surat An-Nisa Chapter 4 Verse 59 where it states...

 



 

Scholars have stated that those who enter non-Muslim countries have to adhere to their respective laws and regulations even if theentered those countries illegally, and they have no excuse for breaking those laws, since they were entrusted to abide by those laws upon entry into those countries. In addition, if they break the oath and covenant of the nations providing them with security and freedoms then they are not believers rather they are hypocrites. Surat Al-Baqarah Chapter 2 Verse 100

Scholars? They don't listen to scholars. They listen to the imams. Scholars have their say, but it's far from final. If they were so peaceful, why do they kill one another because of Shia or Sunni laws? Will these scholars agree that those who don't abide by laws of an adopted country should be deported?

There are others who are not condemning the murders. They claim the act of depicting their god in any fashion is punishable.

As for those entering Muslim countries, if you want to live there, either convert to islam, pay a high tax or be subjected to death.

One imam says one thing while you have supreme leaders issuing fatwas against anyone " breaking Islamic law". Like Rushdie, who still has a bounty on his head for the book he wrote.

Ask some imams this...

“Do you support the enslavement of female war prisoners and having sex with them as concubines? If not, do you reject those interpretations in Islamic Law, for “Ma-Malkakat Aymanikum”, which justifies such actions?

Fighting Jews: Do you support perpetual war against Jews to exterminate them, and if not, should those Muslims who incite such war be punished?

Gays being killed: Do you believe it is acceptable to kill Gays, and if not, do you reject those edicts in Sharia Law which claim it

Do you believe that if the five pillars of Islam are not met, you are an infidel?

Do you believe that women cannot venture into public places unless accompanied by a male?



We have fringe groups in all religions. But none as heinous as the peaceful religion they call Islam.

I'd like to hear what the Ayatollah has to say. Iranian supreme leader and his ilk.

Maybe it's just me, but murdering people while shouting god is great, just doesn't sound like a god I want to worship. Maybe atheists have a point.


On the outside, some may condemn. Inside, they support.


Anyway. Enough is enough. Just spinning wheels here. Maybe my interpretation of the Quran and some Hadiths are all misinterpreted. The violence perpetuated and supported in the writings must have a different meaning than what I took them for, like smite their necks. Maybe smite means kiss in their world.
