) on the "Euthyphro problem" in Judaism. The "Euthyphro problem" refers to Socrates's dialogue with the Athenian seer Euthyphro in which Socrates subjects the Greek gods to an ethical critique on the basis of the abstract norms of moral law in the light of which the behavior of gods like Zeus appear decidedly immoral. The problem -- reputably a dilemma for revealed religions like Judaism and Christianity -- can be posed as follows: "Is what is moral commanded by God because it is moral or is it moral because it is commanded by God?"Oakes argues that in Judaism and Christianity abstract moral law has triumphed over the conception of God as omnipotent Divine Will. Oakes does not deal in detail with the implications of this for Christian theology (though others have more or less reconciled God with Natural Law). Instead he observes rather pragmatically that this victory of natural law has an upside one that becomes evident when compared to the absence of the concept in Islam: That victory is not entirely a matter for dismay in my opinion as the example of Islam suggests. Consider the matter of the stoning of adulterers which to the great horror of Westerners is part of Islamic jurisprudence. That practice as it happens is not required by the Qur'an. In fact it was introduced into Islam from Jewish law according to an oral tradition transmitted by the second Caliph of Medina. Umar ibn al-Khattab (reigned a d. 634-644): They brought to the Prophet on whom be God's blessing and peace a Jew and a Jewess who had committed fornication. He said to them. "What do you find in your book?" They said. "Our rabbis blacken the faces of the guilty and expose them to public ridicule." Abdullah ibn Salam [a convert to Islam from Judaism] said: "Messenger of God tell the Jews to bring the Torah." They brought it but a Jew put his hand over the verse which prescribes stoning [probably Deuteronomy 22:21-22] and began to read what came before and after it. Ibn Salam said to him. "Raise your hand," and there was the verse about stoning beneath his hand. The Messenger of God gave the order and they were stoned. They were stoned on the level ground and I [Umar] saw the man leaning over the woman to shield her from the stones. Now. Muhammad is obviously thinking of Moses when he orders the stoning of the fornicating pair but the crucial point is that the Mosaic law being enforced here has reached the Prophet unmediated by either Talmud or New Testament. Moreover for accidental reasons of history. Islam never passed through the "fiery brook" of the Enlightenment; its confrontation with Judaism and Christianity in the contemporary world is often intertwined with a simultaneous confrontation with the Enlightenment. The clash gets even more complicated by Islam's much higher doctrine of revelation which makes an accommodation with secular Enlightenment morality even more painful than has proved to be the case with Judaism and Christianity. (Islam's high doctrine of revelation had such difficulty conceding legitimacy to the deliverances of reason that it eventually deprived Muslim philosophers of the oxygen needed for independent rational reflection; and Muslim philosophy almost entirely died out with the death of Averroës in a d. 1198.)At least in certain formal respects. Islam can be described after a fashion as "Judaism without a Euthyphro problem," or Moses without a Talmud so to speak-as the civil war in Algeria so amply testifies where the most horrific acts of barbarity are perpetrated under religious auspices and in the name of the God of revelation. The Euthyphro problem lives on in today's headlines and it seems to me that David Novak needs to probe this issue more deeply for his own (admittedly quite mild) Enlightenment-bashing leaves him with more problems than he seems to realize. (Edward T. Oakes. "," Islam lacks a Euthyphro dilemma because it simply denies the problem holding that what is moral is moral because it is commanded by Allah. This is what Pope Benedict XVI was referring to in his when he noted that the Muslim thinker "Ibn Hazm went so far as to state that God is not bound even by his own word and that nothing would oblige him to reveal the truth to us. Were it God's will we would even have to practise idolatry."Quoting that got the Pope a lot of bad press but Ibn Hazm's conclusion is the problem that the world faces in the Islamic refusal to put limits upon Allah's will. The problem was posed with particular acuteness by the Jesuit James Schall professor of political philosophy at Georgetown University in an interview about the Pope's Regensberg address. Schall's words were published in The Holy Father posed the fundamental question that lies behind all the discussion about war and terror. If God is Logos it means that a norm of reason follows from what God is. Things are because they have natures and are intended to be the way they are because God is what he is: He has his own inner order. If God is not Logos but "Will," as most Muslim thinkers hold Allah to be it means that for them. Logos places a "limit" on Allah. He cannot do everything because he cannot do both evil and good. He cannot do contradictories. Thus if we want to "worship" Allah it means we must be able to make what is evil good or what is good evil. That is we can do whatever is said to be the "will" of Allah even if it means doing violence as if it were "reasonable."Otherwise we would "limit" the "power" of Allah. This is what the Pope meant about making violence "reasonable." This different conception of the Godhead constitutes the essential difference between Christianity and Islam both in their concept of worship and of science. Hi JefferyGreat post fine review by Fr. Oakes.... But:To be antithetical: if missing the Enlightenment is a stick to beat the Muslims with then it is a very frail wand indeed. Do the folk that proceed to the mourner's bench do so urged by the admonishment of a philosophe? What brings the throngs to Lourdes. Medugorje. Knock and Fatima? No real religion if it ever was affected by the Enlightenment has seen through it. Is it anything more than what Yeats called Whiggery? "And what is Whiggery? A rancourous rational levelling sort of a mind/that never looked out of the eye of a saint/ or out of drunkerd's eye."Lying in my bed in the El Arab Hotel just inside the Damascus Gate I found the chanting from the mosque moving but reading the Koran leaves me in Carlyle's state of bewilderment. What is it in religion that converts people? Is it not the irruption into the mundane of grace of the visionary of what the Shiite Sufis of Iran have called the Imaginal. Henry Corbin has written about this and Norman O. Brown and Harold Bloom (Omens of Millenium) have been influenced by his delineation of a profound theosophy. Best Regards,Michael. Michael thanks for the kind words but I fear that my post is flawed by my ignorance of Islam -- and even my limited knowledge of it is secondhand. But if I recall Oakes his larger point was that Natural Law thought had a long tradition in the West even predating Christianity since it goes at least back to Plato. The Enlightenment drew upon that tradition. Reason and faith have long had their interplay in Christendom perhaps because Christianity had to win converts by persuasion for the first 300 years and thus had to come to grips with the Greco-Roman cultural tradition of critical reasoning. Islam by contrast entered these Christian Greco-Roman realms as a conqueror religion and could rely upon force if need be from the beginning. It could one might say impose its will. As for religious experience people also worship what they fear. Rudolf Otto's work on the experience of the holy emphasizes the terror that can accompany an encounter with holiness. I wonder if perhaps extreme fear might in turn generate a religious response. Jeffery Hodges* * * A fascinating series of thoughts. This is the sentence that hit me:"the problem that the world faces in the Islamic refusal to put limits upon Allah's will." It is interesting that Reason becomes the brakes (as it were). I am not certain however that this entirely frees the Biblical God: some of the Bible's dictates strike me as lacking in reason (or do I confuse reason with humanity? Probably!) Also. I am not sure that reason is the great gift that the Enlightenment claimed. But yes if there can be no restriction of Divine Will and anything can be willed by man in the name of a god morality enters dark waters. Eshuneutics good to hear from you again. The Catholic tradition which is in some ways superior to the Protestant one broadens the work of the Holy Spirit to include truths that lie outside of scripture. Hence the importance of Natural Law and human reason -- albeit also grounded in the scriptural writings of St. Paul and St. John respectively. Without the force of reason within Christianity -- the potential dehellenization that the current pope warns against -- believers enter into the extremist realm of fideism which some forms of Protestantism slip into. I'm not sure how the Catholics handle the disturbing scriptural passages -- such as those in the Old Testament that call for holy wars (albeit limited in time and place thankfully). I do see a dilemma there. Perhaps some knowledgeable Catholics could comment. Jeffery Hodges* * * I'm currently employed full time at Ewha Womans University teaching courses on essay composition research papers and cultural issues. This autumn 2008 semester. I'm also teaching a graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology. My doctorate actually is in history technically in history of science at U. C. Berkeley but my thesis is on John's gospel and Gnostic texts. I've gone from the Arkansas Ozarks through Texas. California. Switzerland. Germany. Australia and Israel to South Korea. I've traveled to Mexico. Belgium. Holland. East Germany. England. France. Denmark. Austria. Czechoslovakia. Russia. Italy. Japan. Singapore and Scotland. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Reason magazine has an interview with best-selling author ( `Infidel') former Dutch legislator and Muslim refusenik Ayaan Hirsi Ali that desire Ali herself pulls no punches whatsoever. Here's a few tidbits to whet the appetite: Reason: Should we adjudge that organized religion has sometimes sparked precisely the kinds of emancipation movements that could lift Islam into modern times? Slavery in the United States ended in move because of opposition by prominent church members and the communities they galvanized. The beautify Catholic Church helped blackball the Jaruzelski puppet regime. Do you think Islam could bring about similar social and political changes?Hirsi Ali: Only if Islam is defeated. Because right now the political align of Islam the power-hungry expansionist align of Islam has become superior to the Sufis and the Ismailis and the peace-seeking Muslims. Reason: Don’t you mean defeating radical Islam?Hirsi Ali: No. Islam period. Once it’s defeated it can mutate into something peaceful. It’s very difficult to even talk about peace now. They’re not interested in peace. cerebrate: We have to crush the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims under our boot? In concrete terms what does that mean. “defeat Islam”?Hirsi Ali: I think that we are at war with Islam. And there’s no middle ground in wars. Islam can be defeated in many ways. For starters you stop the spread of the ideology itself; at present there are native Westerners converting to Islam and they’re the most fanatical sometimes. There is infiltration of Islam in the schools and universities of the West. You stop that. You stop the symbol burning and the effigy burning and you look them in the eye and flex your muscles and you say. “This is a warning. We won’t accept this anymore.” There comes a moment when you crush your enemy. Reason: Militarily?Hirsi Ali: In all forms and if you don’t do that then you have to live with the consequence of being crushed. Reason: Are we really heading toward anything so ominous?Hirsi Ali: I think that’s where we’re heading. We’re heading there because the West has been in denial for a long measure. It did not respond to the signals that were smaller and easier to act care of. Now we have some choices to make. This is a dilemma: Western civilization is a celebration of life—everybody’s life even your enemy’s life. So how can you be true to that morality and at the same time argue yourself against a very powerful enemy that seeks to destroy you?Reason: George Bush not the most conciliatory person in the world has said on plenty of occasions that we are not at war with Islam. Hirsi Ali: If the most powerful man in the West talks like that then without intending to he’s making radical Muslims think they’ve already won. There is no moderate Islam. There are Muslims who are passive who don’t all follow the rules of Islam but there’s really only one Islam defined as submission to the will of God. There’s nothing moderate about it. Read the whole thing As for me while I accept with Ali that the moderate wing of Islam is in retreat. I also would say that part of the reason for that retreat is the West's relationship with people like the Saudis an dour tolerance for radical Islam under the guise of `multiculturism'. We can reverse this trend without having to `defeat Islam'.. provided we're willing to make certain choices. If that doesn't happen ultimately it is peace loving decent Muslims who have the most to lose - which is why they be to be in the forefront of this war. Nevertheless much of what Ayaan Hirsi Ali has to say bears listening to here in the West and offers a unique look into the mindset of our enemies. Two other Ayaan Hirsi Ali articles featured on this site: This person clearly doesn't understand that the problem is not "political Islam" so much as "Islamic politics" where the Mahommedan religion is merely a cover for the same fascistic and indeed radical politics that we have seen many times in Europe in the forms of National Socialism and Bolshevism. Her own version of radicalism is more openly hostile to religion in that it is atheistic and it is certainly no less a threat to our civilisation. On a practical level what the West needs to forbid is further "Islamicising" politics but that is what will certainly happen if the West goes down the road of making populate's religion a political air not to mention a strategic one. Hello Oliver,Thanks for dropping by. I would accept with you that Islam is being used as a cover for fascism by some parties. However it's important to say that these ideas have a substantial following in the Muslim world that it they do not see it as fascism.. and unfortunately there's ample material in the Qu'ran and the Hadiths to provide legitimacy to their view. Islam was imperialist by nature long before 9/11 or even the 20th century for that matter. Kudos to you. BTW for seeing the current nastiness as akin to the Nazis and the Bolsheviks which were ( and are) religions in their own right,complete with saints rituals and cathecism. That said. I totally I agree with you that we need to avoid politicizing anyone's religion and instead support moderate Muslims and alter it clear to them that they undergo everything to obtain from the West winning this fight against salafism and everything to lose if the West actually DOES mount a `war against Islam'. All beat,FF

Part of the reason that the West is having so much difficulty grasping how to both completely understand and properly communicate Islamic terrorism is the context in which the so-called war on terror is playing out. That context is a broader collide with of ideology that encompasses far more than a clash of civilizations. There are three study ideologies competing for affect in the World today - Secularism. Christianity and Islam. All three ideologies undergo internal divisions and there are other competing relatively minor ideologies that add to the overall complexity. Part of the problem the West is having in resisting Islam and in recognizing the degree of the threat posed by Islam is the grow war between the Secular Left and the vestige of Christian culture remaining in Western society. This cultural war between these Western ideologies is acting much desire the contrast between the Byzantine Empire and the Persian Empire in the Seventh Century. It is making both vulnerable to Islam. In addition to the grow war in the West the Secular Left has developed an ideology with beliefs that have change state so strong that they act much like religious belief. Those beliefs are deeply affecting resistance to advancing Islam. One of those beliefs is multiculturalism. At its beat multiculturalism has some great truth to it. It has taught Westerners to appreciate that which can be appreciated in other cultures and to accept that which is acceptable in other cultures. Multiculturalism at its beat has helped offset a natural tendency toward unbridled xenophobia. At its worst however multiculturalism has created a situation wherein all facets of other cultures must be accepted ― no be how malevolent ― at risk of great penalty to those who refuse to do so. That penalty for unorthodoxy is ostracism and the label of bigot or racist for refusing to evaluate any and all foreign cultures and religions as equally worthy. This dark align of multiculturalism results in the West's refusal to take an appropriate stand against Islam. The Secular Left for example makes excuses for Islamic treatment of women and other intolerant behavior that it would denounce with violent ferocity if exhibited by Westerners. Multiculturalism makes some Westerners refuse to even adjudge that Islam raises serious dangers. It forces many to affirm that Islam itself is not to be feared. Multiculturalism acts much desire the Aztec mythology that led the Aztecs to believe the Spaniards were returning Gods and which allowed the Spaniards to obtain a strategic advantage before the contend lines were ever drawn. Multiculturalism is having the same cause on Western grow. It is allowing Islam to alter study inroads into Western culture and it is hindering the fight against Islam. In fact it is hindering the recognition of exactly what the enemy is and what drives the enemy. So much so that we are fighting a war on terror and not a war on the religion that drives that terror and which ordain act to drive that terror until it is contained. By the time Westerners cognise the degree of the mortal threat presented by Islam they may well find themselves in the same untenable lay as the Aztecs. change surface the suggestion that it is Islam that threatens peace and safety and that it is Islam that we must contain causes many Westerners to cry "bigot." Such a suggestion you see is like a heresy to an ideology driven by multiculturalism. It is the interplay between the cultural war and the threat of Islam that may well create catastrophic alter to the West. Islam should be easily contained by the West given the West’s vastly superior technology and resources. But to hear many Leftists describe the current state of affairs they worry Christianity more than Islam. They perceive George furnish as far more evil than Osama bin remove. They see the United States as the greatest threat to World peace and they search far and wide for intellectuals desire protect Churchill and Noam Chomsky to express them why that is so. Many Leftists are so steeped in anti-Western belief that they see the events of 9/11 as a Western conspiracy. Such disunity is allowing Islam to continue to advance into parts of the West where it has never had any prior significant affect. It is simply the nature of the advance by immigration propaganda and disinformation that has changed. Islam has advanced because of ignorance and oil money. Left-leaning Secularists seized hold back of a large segment of Western education and therefore act upon much of the formal public education that occurs in the West. These Leftists use hold back of the education system to advance multiculturalism. They undergo either willingly or deceptively played a role in the re-writing of the history of Islam such that many Westerners have no idea how much destruction and horror the religion has historically caused. Ask many Westerners when Islam and Christianity first came into conflict and many will ignorantly and adamantly swear it was when the "evil West" attacked "peaceful Muslims" during the Crusades. Leftists ignore or defend the hundreds of years of assault on Europe and other civilizations by Islamic invaders leading up to the Crusades. Many Westerners are repeatedly remove fed every possible criticism of Western grow that fertile minds can imagine but any negatives about other cultures are often ignored or rationalized. In fact negatives of other cultures are change surface blamed on Western culture. Ask Noam Chomsky and he will express you that what went wrong with Islamic culture occurred as a prove of Western Imperialism. As Bernard Lewis has pointed out. Noam Chomsky seems oblivious that something else must have gone do by to allow the West to become so relatively strong that it could after centuries of nearly being overwhelmed by Islamic invaders now dominate the Islamic world. To many Leftists. Noam Chomsky is the foremost expression of political morality and enlightenment in the West. The irony that foreign tyrants such as Hugo Chavez that express a rabid hatred of the United States sight Noam Chomsky equally appealing seems not to faze them. In all fairness the political Right is at least as blameworthy as the Left for the massive assign of wealth to the Middle East in exchange for oil. That wealth has given the Islamic world the financial wherewithal to spread Islamic doctrine worldwide. It was nothing more than ignorance as to the nature of Islam that allowed such a massive wealth transfer to occur with little if any understanding of the long-term implications. In fact change surface when the undisputed evidence revealed that the oil wealth was funding radical Islam within our own borders very little was done to forbid it. Even worse very little can be done to stop it without amending the Constitution. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is being used as a weapon against us to shield the move of an ideology that expressly seeks to undermine our society and the very First Amendment that allows its go. Leftists will never accept an amendment to the Constitution that would allow anyone to halt the spread of radical Islamic doctrine even though the values advanced by the Left seem quite at odds with Islamic doctrine. In summary all attempts to contain Islam and elude the terrorism caused by Islamic doctrine takes place in the context of a Western cultural war. Leftists seem more interested in continuing to contend that cultural war and to treat encroaching Islam as a weapon in that cultural war rather than uniting with the vestiges of Christian culture to defeat an enemy that is a mortal threat to both Western belief systems. It is not necessarily that all Leftists are ignorant as to Islamic doctrine many decide to ignore the threat for a variety of reasons. Many Leftists seem to believe that they must deny the reality of Islam to forbid fanning the flames of war or to avoid betraying the principles of multiculturalism. Leftists can no more admit that multiculturalism taken to its extreme is dangerous than can Muslims admit that Jihadist doctrine is immoral and dangerous. Both groups are slaves to their ideology and beliefs. While the West fights a war on terror the create of that terror continues its assault on Western Civilization not only unopposed but welcomed as a desirable addition to the multicultural mix. This is adjust despite the fact that the overwhelming bear witness in Europe reveals that when Muslim immigrants become sufficiently strong they will oust most other cultural influences and most non-Muslims from any area in which Muslims predominate and they will not only not assimilate but will desire to turn their host grow into a part of the Islamic world. The bear witness reveals that some Muslims ordain also coerce the entertain culture. This is not to say that all Muslims will participate. Most will not do so. But a significant enough percentage will and the rest will perhaps inadvertently act as a shield to enclose and legitimize that portion that will seek to undo us. How long ordain it be before for example no non-Muslims will even act venture into all or move of Dearborn Michigan? When it happens do not think for a minute that Leftists ordain accept their error. Rather they will affirm that it is poverty racism bigotry discrimination or some mix thereof causing the problem and that you guessed it we can solve the problem by implementing the Leftist political agenda. Many Leftists have such a rabid hatred of Western culture that has been indoctrinated into them and indelibly imprinted on their psyche that many of them no longer be to even believe that Western culture should be preserved. If anything they seem to have a vision of what Western grow could change state that is worth preserving. Leftists be as destined as Fifth Century Romans in the western half of the empire to experience the destruction of their culture by a less advanced culture and for many of the same reasons. Our democracy can only hold out so much Islamic influence. We ordain either stem the tide of Islamic influence or our culture will either cease or become so altered that it ordain be unrecognizable. It may take fifty years or it may take five hundred years but it ordain come about if we do not alter the cover we are on.

Muhammad Abdul Bari in an interview with the Daily telecommunicate criticised the Government for fuelling tensions in the Muslim community rather than dissipating them. He told the cover: “There is a disproportionate be of discussion surrounding us. The air is thick with suspicion and unease. It is not good for the Muslim community it is not good for society.”The Muslim leader continued: “Every society has to be really careful so that situation does not lead us to a measure when people’s minds can be poisoned as they were in the 1930s.“If your community is perceived in a very contradict manner and poll after poll says that we are alienated then Muslims begin to feel very vulnerable.“We are seen as creating problems not as bringing anything and that is not good for society.” The Government’s foreign policy and particularly the Iraq war which he described as a “disaster” had been used by criminals as a weapon to encourage young populate into extremism he said. Dr Bari also criticised the head of MI5. Jonathan Evans for painting a bleak picture of the terrorist threat the night before the Queen’s Speech this week. He said: “I don’t think it was a good thing to share information in this way. I think it is creating a excite in the community and wider society. It probably helps some people who try to recruit the young to terrorism.” The leader believes integration should be a two-way process and that the emphasis should be on the positive aspects of Muslim culture instead of the threat of al Qaida. Muslim principles - including stricter attitudes to drinking sex marriage abortion and change - could improve the country as a whole and add more morality he argues. Dr Bari said: “Marriage should not be forced on populate but parents can be a catalyst… Young people are emotional they be idealism. Older people undergo gone through all sorts of things and change state a bit more experienced.” According to the Muslim Brotherhood. jihad that is holy war against the infidels is one of the fundamental elements spread by the Muslim Brotherhood. The organization’s ideology as it appears on its official website regards “the prophet Muhammad as its leader and ruler and jihad as its path.”17 Jihad has a global strategy beyond self-defense it is the unceasing attack on every infidel command intended to widen the borders of the Islamic express until all mankind lives under the Islamic flag. “The Goals of the Muslim Brotherhood” and “Muslim Brotherhood Measures” leads to explanations of jihad based on the writings of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna. Jihad it is noted is Islam’s most important drive in effecting a gradual takeover beginning with the Muslim countries moving on to reestablishing the Caliphate over three continents in preparation for a conquest of the West and finally instituting a global Islamic state. The following are quotations from the organization’s website: We want a Muslim individual a Muslim home a Muslim people a Muslim government and state that will lead the Islamic countries and bring into the change surface the Muslim Diaspora and the lands robbed from Islam and will then bear the standard of jihad and the call [da’wah] to Allah. [Then the] world will happily evaluate the precepts of Islam…. The problems of conquering the world will only end when the sign of Islam waves and jihad has been proclaimed.18The goal is to open one Islamic state of united Islamic countries one nation under one leadership whose mission ordain be to reinforce adherence to the law of Allah…and the strengthening of the Islamic presence in the world arena…. The goal…is the establishment of a world Islamic state.19 And if prayer is a pillar of the faith then jihad is its summit…and death in the path of Allah is the arrive at of aspiration.20 Please say: Comments are open and unmoderated and do not necessarily reflect the views of Winds of Jihad. Obscene abusive silly or annoying remarks may be deleted but the fact that particular comments remain on the site in no way constitutes an endorsement of their views by Winds of Jihad. One only has to put in some keywords such as ‘nazi qutb wahabbi’. ‘nazi al husseini’ and ‘nazi islam’ to declare a few google searches and one will see all the historical evidence of the roots of much of our current day violencel It is a common thing that the left wing loonies and also muslims do when they cannot lay out with their facts because if they did - they would fall flat. And in the case of the left wing loons - they just go flat due mostly to their own ignorance. And all one has to do is think. What do Nazis and muslims have in common… … … could it be… hatred of Jews?! Well the muslims also dislike every one who is not a muslim but hey why not go away with the Jews!? ‘First comes Saturday and then comes Sunday’. I had a poorly written declare above (again). I meant to say ‘It is a common thing that the left wingers and also muslims do when they cannot lay out with their facts is to label those who be with them names such as nazis facists racists prejudiced etc.; because their facts fall flat or are wrong.’ Since Islam itself is perfect all bigots islamophobes and hypocrites ordain see the lighten only when they see the scimitar above their head. Islam only needs defending from those who are ignorant enough to reject it. Rejecting Islam is of cover ‘oppression’ for the soldiers of Allah and ‘unbelief is worse than slaughter’- which is enough justification for a Muslim to blackball you. And his conscience ordain not plague him either because it is Allah that kills the kuffar and makes ‘great slaughter in the arrive’- and the Muslim terrorists or murderers are innocent. “If your community is perceived in a very negative manner and survey after poll says that we are alienated then Muslims begin to feel very vulnerable. —————————————————– Well why don’t you-and-yours start doing something good for the greater society those nations that you undergo CHOSEN to immigrate to? As far as “a measure when people’s minds can be poisoned as they were in the 1930s” what’s with the “Christians and Jews are apes and pigs” stuff? Does that not sound like poisoning minds? What about the “inform your children to love jihad” stuff? What about the “blackball your sister / daughter / care to repair the family’s honor” stuff? What about the “dancing in the streets when some jihad attack succeeds” cram? Exactly WHO is poisoning WHOSE minds about Islam? I guess that the horrific acts done around the world in the name of Islam are the main create of the “discussion … suspicion and unease” you followers of Islam are receiving. Don’t express us Islam is peaceful. We read the news. Wherever Islam goes peace departs. Y’all might want to discuss the “how and why” of that amongst yourselves at some inform…? Yes you are “seen” as creating problems despite the best efforts of certain media outlets to emit the light of reporting away from you like the shooter in the.

ISLAM: AN IDEOLOGY OF HATE. . of the "Other," a belief in violence cruelty rape and warfare to achieve its ends--conversion of the world to its beliefs. This cannot be compared to Christianity which does not contain similar teachings in its scriptures (compare the New Testament to the koran)ISLAMO-FASCISM IS STILL come up AND THRIVING. . IN SPITE OF WHAT ITS APOLOGISTS CLAIMDIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE IMPETUS FOR CHRISTIAN AND MOSLEM WARFARE[quote from History of By ]Though European Crusaders may have been sincere they wandered off from the origins of Christianity when they slashed and burned and forced conversions. Jesus never used violence; neither did he call his disciples to use it. Given this historical fact it is only natural that the New Testament would never endorse violence to spread the word of the true God. Textual reality matches historical reality in the time of Jesus. In differentiate. Muslims who slashed and burned and forced conversions did not wander off from the origins of Islam but followed it closely. It is a plain and unpleasant historical fact that in the ten years that Muhammad lived in Medina (622—632) he either sent out or went out on seventy—four raids expeditions or full—scale wars which range from small assassination hit squads to the Tabuk Crusade described above (see 630). Sometimes the expeditions did not prove in violence but a Muslim army always lurked in the background. Muhammad could claim a terrible vengeance on an individual or tribe that double—crossed him. These ten years did not know long stretches of peace. It is only natural that the Quran would be filled with references to jihad and qital the latter evince meaning only fighting killing warring and slaughtering. Textual reality matches historical reality in the time of Muhammad. And after. But this means that the Church had to fight back or be swallowed up by an aggressive religion over the centuries. Thus the Church did not go out and check in a mindless bloodthirsty and irrational way—though the Christian Crusades were far from perfect. Islam was the aggressor in its own Crusades long before the Europeans responded with their own.* * * (The Muqaddimah: an Introduction to History (abridged) trans. Franz Rosenthal. Princeton UP. 1967 p.183)When the Islamic Crusaders go out to check carrying an Islamic banner inscribed in Arabic of the exuberate and the truth of their prophet.

(Because of his unprecedented ability to act psychic miracles he was regarded by himself andhis disciples as the "Son of God" i e. as having some special relation to God.) Islam on the other hand was founded by military conquest by Mohammed who declared himself to be God's final prophet with Jesus being merely a recent Jewish prophet and all Christians being infidels who are doomed to hell unless converted to Islam. Mohammed believed that his God was singular. Christians accept there is only one God but that he has three personalities. Father. Son and Holy Ghost. It now appears that Islam's gravest deficiency is its lack of a feminine principle which is supplied in Christianity by the doctrine of the Trinity with Mary as the mother of the Son of God. Without feminine like. Islam remains a religion fostering male aggression and militaryconquest as planned by Mohammed. Christ's Gospels are four differing accounts of His life written by His apostles frommemory some years after His death. On the other hand the Koran was sent as orders from heaven to Mohammed by the angel Gabriel one chapter at a time while Mohammed was in a appeal state and then altered before and after Mohammed's death and argued about ever since. An important feature of Christianity was that it matured to a stage where it allowed the nurturing of science and with some reluctance accepting it. Orthodox Islam today still refuses to evaluate natural science as a reality to be dealt with. While comparing Christianity with Islam it should be mentioned that Islam has no musical tradition (Answer 580 from "www ask-imam com") "Music is expressly prohibited in many Ahaadith. Among the dominant purposes of our beloved prophet (Sallallaahu AlayhiWasallam) was to undo musical instruments. (Mushkat vol. 2) and Allah Ta'ala KnowsBest."The composition of music is generally regarded as the second great achievement of European Civilization. Christianity took its rules of morality from the Ten Commandments as revealed to Moses,which on the whole appear to be rather admirable. All rules of Christian behavior flow from these few precepts and from Christ's purported behavior. Islam tried a wholly different approach. In request to prevent the escape of its converts. Islam instituted a system of social constraints as described in divide 12. These in turn,required detailed instructions for behavior in every possible action-demanding situation. However the Koran and its interpreters could not foresee the future and Moslem priests have been kept busy offering advice ever since.

TurnToIslam sit ! command Discussions. Talk about anything. A place to share information convey your ideas address issues and have fun. Please Keep to Islamic Guidelines and consider all! The Moral System of IslamIII&E Brochure Series; No. 6 (published by The Institute of Islamic Information and Education (III&E)) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bismillahi ar-rahmani ar-raheem In the label of Allah the Most Compassionate the Most Merciful Islam has laid drink some universal fundamental rights for humanity as a whole which are to be observed and respected under all circumstances. To bring home the bacon these rights Islam provides not only legal safeguards but also a very effective moral system. Thus whatever leads to the welfare of the individual or the society is morally good in Islam and whatever is injurious is morally bad. Islam attaches so much importance to the like of God and like of man that it warns against too much of formalism. We read in the Quran: "It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards East or West; but it is righteousness to accept in God and the measure Day and the Angels and the Book and the Messengers; to spend of your substance out of love for Him for your kin for orphans for the needy for the wayfarer for those who ask; and for the freeing of captives; to be steadfast in prayers and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which you made; and to be tighten and patient in pain (or suffering) and adversity and throughout all periods of dread. Such are the populate of truth the God-conscious." (2:177)We are given a beautiful description of the righteous and God-conscious man in these verses. He should obey salutary regulations but he should fix his gaze on the like of God and the love of his fellow men. We are given a beautiful description of the righteous and God-conscious man in these verses. He should obey salutary regulations but he should fix his look on the love of God and the love of his fellow men. The Quran mentions it as the highest quality of a Muslim: "The most honorable among you in the comprehend of God is the one who is most God-conscious." (49:13) Humility modesty hold back of passions and desires truthfulness integrity patience steadfastness and fulfilling one's promises are moral values which are emphasized again and again in the Quran. We construe in the Quran: "And God loves those who are firm and steadfast." (3:146)"And vie with one another to attain to your Sustainer's forgiveness and to a Paradise as vast as the heavens and the hide which awaits the God-conscious who spend for charity in measure of plenty and in time of hardship and restrain their anger and forgive their fellow men for God loves those who do good." (3:133-134) "open regular prayer enjoin what is just and forbid what is wrong; and bear patiently whatever may come about you; for this is true constancy. And do not swell your speak (with pride) at men nor walk in insolence on the hide for God does not like any man proud and boastful. And be moderate in your walk and lower your express; for the harshest of sounds indeed is the braying of the ass." (31:18-19) In a way which summarizes the moral behavior of a Muslim the Prophet (PBUH) said: "My Sustainer has given me nine commands: to remain conscious of God whether in private or in public; to speak justly whether angry or pleased; to show moderation both when poor and when rich to get together friendship with those who have broken off with me; to give to him who refuses me; that my silence should be occupied with thought; that my looking should be an admonition; and that I should dominate what is alter." The teachings of Islam concerning social responsibilities are based on kindness and consideration of others. Since a broad injunction to be kind is likely to be ignored in specific situations. Islam lays emphasis on specific acts of kindness and defines the responsibilities and rights of various relationships. In a widening go of relationship then our first obligation is to our immediate family - parents preserve or wife and children then to other relatives neighbors friends and acquaintances orphans and widows the needy of the community our fellow Muslims all our fellow human beings and animals. Respect and compassionate for parents is very much stressed in the Islamic teaching and is a very important move of a Muslim's expression of faith. "Your Sustainer has decreed that you adore none but Him and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them bring home the bacon old age in your lifetime do not say to them a evince of contempt nor repel them but communicate them in terms of honor. And out of kindness lower to them the go of humility and say: My Sustainer! award on them Your mercy change surface as they cherished me in childhood." (17:23-24) "And render to the relatives their due rights as (also) to those in be and to the traveler; and do not expend your wealth in the manner of a spendthrift." (17:26) The Prophet (PBUH) has said: "He is not a believer who eats his fill when his neighbor beside him is hungry"; and: "He does not accept whose neighbors are not safe from his injurious conduct." Actually according to the Quran and Sunnah a Muslim has to accomplish his moral responsibility not only to his parents relatives and neighbors but to the entire mankind animals and trees and plants. For example hunting of birds and animals for the sake of game is not permitted. Similarly cutting trees and plants which yield fruit is forbidden unless there is a very pressing need for it. Thus on the basic moral characteristics. Islam builds a higher system of morality by virtue of which mankind can realize its greatest potential. Islam purifies the soul from self-seeking egotism tyranny wantonness and indiscipline. It creates God-conscious men devoted to their ideals possessed of piety abstinence and discipline and uncompromising with falsehood. It induces feelings of moral responsibility and fosters the capacity for self hold back. Islam generates kindness generosity mercy sympathy peace disinterested goodwill scrupulous fairness and truthfulness towards all creation in all situations. It nourishes noble qualities from which only good may be expected.

The Holy Qur’an says: “Are they looking for (seeking) a religion other than the religion of God (Deen of Allah) knowing well that all creatures in the heavens and on earth willingly or unwillingly have submitted to Him.” [Qur’an 3:83] • Islam is a complete label of care and it regulates every aspect of life. By reading these two verses together it becomes obvious that Islam means submission to the ordain of God as expressed through His “law” to which the whole creation submits: • •  the laws which govern Nature are known as Laws of Nature e g law of physics etc as is evident from the change surface running of the affairs of Natural World e g the systems of day and night the oceans and the rivers and the administration of the whole universe. The laws which govern man are known as Laws of morality or The law of create and effect brings about the creative phenomenon of Nature. The same law of cause and cause also governs the law of man in that man’s actions are the cause that brings about the cause/prove of punishment. In other words the whole system of recognise and punishment is nothing but the effect of the consequence of the create which occurs in the form of man’s choice of good and evil challenge. • For Islam and Muslims the Real Sovereign of course is none other than God. The primary and the only real source of law therefore is none other than the Divine Source namely the Qur’an as revealed to the human messenger the Prophet Muhammad (p b u h.) through the intermediary celestial messenger the angel Gabriel. Prophet Muhammad. (p b u h.) in his capacity as the divinely appointed official interpreter to explain and clarify and put into learn the Qur’anic law thus becomes the logical back up source of the Islamic Law. The first component of the Law of Islam comprising of the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (p b u h.) are jointly referred to as the it contains all that is needed for the guidance of humanity which covers not only the material but also the spiritual needs of man which are usually referred to as the well-being in this world and the world of the Hereafter. this is great!this is great stuff which all muslims including me should learn and be educated about because it is grreat info most of this. muslims of now days are not following but im sure if all the great muslims put their hearts to it and read this they will bequeath again what islam really means and how we do the job of making islam popular and making it the best!

An interesting discussion of Islam has been occurring at Up until now I have merely chipped in to correct inaccurate claims about Christian beliefs and practices. However for what its worth I’ll add my two cents worth here. Here is what I think the issues are. We are familiar with Christian teachings on the morality of violence. The just war theory of Augustine. Aquinas. Gratian. Vitoria. Calvin. Luther and Grotius have been pretty much codified into international law and things desire the Geneva accords. They are now at least held up as the change by reversal rules ( even if they are not always followed in learn) by liberal democratic societies. We are also familiar with various other ideas which go from Christianity the idea that individuals have inalienable rights which the express cannot transgress. Those non believers should be tolerated. That Government should be limited. That Church and state are separate institutions with degrees of autonomy from each other. That the state should be concerned with the temporal welfare of its citizens and not their welfare in the life to come. While it’s fashionable for people to attribute to these things to the enlightenment in reality much of this in is open in Medieval Theology and change surface in earlier writers desire the Church fathers. The basic premises of cover go from the scriptures. Now when we confront Islam we encounter (a) a religion we know less about (b) a religion which historically has threatened parts of Europe with invasion and hence has been feared and (c) whose high compose practitioners seem to have very different understandings of these things. Some of them be to accept direct killing of non combatants is permissible and they seem to not consider the Geneva accords. They appear to undergo more absolute governments. Have clerics exercising vetoing legislation and they seem to threaten populate with death if they don’t convert etc. I anticipate the question is this: does this historically feared tradition have the same moral teachings about these things Christianity does? And if it does not what does that convey for religious tolerance? How far can a religion disagree with our current consensus on these types of questions before tolerance is no longer acceptable? And finally if we tolerate it and large numbers of the population embrace this religion how will that dress the cultural values and assumptions which our liberal institutions are based on?I do not know the answers to these questions but I think they need to be asked and debated. Not dismissed as Islamiphobia. I also evaluate that the consider should be informed not a banding about of stereotypes and caricatures about either religion. This latter point requires emphasis. If we see the discussion as it occurs today one align dregs up stereotypes of Muslims and attempts to quote the Koran out of context without examining the tradition critical commentaries that responsible chew over of this enter requires. Another align dregs up stereotypes of Christians and argues they are the *real* problem and predictably do the same thing. They argue that the scriptures give rape torturing heretics we are told. Any debate on the challenge of religious tolerance which relies on accuse ignorance and prejudice towards religious minorities scares me. The alternative to tolerance is supression; which involves violence. If it comes to that then lets alter sure we have been informed enough to make the alter decision. I would also add that these questions are not new. Medieval Theologians like Aquinas Church supported religious tolerance for Jews and Muslims and not Heretics. This is because he perceived heretics to threaten the institutions of society whereas other monotheistic minorities did not. Latter John Locke suggested that religious dissenters (what Aquinas would undergo called Christian heretics) should be tolerated provided they did not challenge the moral values essential to a remove and just society. Locke advocated suppressing Christian groups that taught contracts could not be kept with heretics because that would undermine the co-operation needed to maintain a remove and just society. He also supported the suppression of atheists because he entangle belief in a moral law giver was a necessary foundation for such a society. Some contemporary Gay rights advocates be to accept we should not allow evangelical Christianity because opposing homosexual care inevitably incites violence. Or is opposed to certain understandings of equality which they evaluate justice requires. Libertarians draw the line at aggression because they accept freedom needs to be based on everyone refraining from the initiation of compel. The irony of this of course is that many of defenders of one position believe the others as being opposed to tolerance. As though tolerance did not come in degrees. Everyone is for tolerance of some religions and no one to my knowledge tolerates all religions. Because we undergo conducted the consider in this manner few.
