Why are there still people who don't believe islam is evil?

Question

Across this sight i encounter people who dont realise there is evil in the quran or simply dont accept it even though if you take time to read it,it is there for all to see.I can only come to the conclusion that most of you are american a country that isnt yet in the grip of islam therefore you dont realise the problems it causes first hand unlike someone like me who lives in the u.k. I will give you one of many violent qoutes from quran this one is from the hadith:

sahih al bukhari, 216 "i have been ordered to fight against people untill they testify that there is no god but allah and that muhammed is the messanger of allah and untill he performs the prayers and pays the zakat"

this quote clearly states that muhammed and therefore every other muslim has been ordered by allah to fight the non believers and torture them untill they accept islam. Please dont try and say im wrong because i have an exact translation of the quran in front of me.

In the USA and I guess Europe, too from the looks of it- this "tolerance" has been shoved down our throats.

We can tolerate many things, but we don't have to say that ALL cultures are "just as good as ours". Because they aren't.

Islam and their Culture unfortunately are blended together.  The nature of Islam is to be a theocracy.

We do NOT have to tolerate that.  It's time we stopped being so namby-pamby it's going to ruin us.

Islam isn't very peaceful.  And it has ulterior goals.  Just read some of this- anyone who DARES to disagree with Islam, even Muslims- are threatened.

You ripped that quote out of context. Something atheists get blamed of doing when they bring up that God orders women and children to be slaughtered in the Old Testament.  

Answer 3

Thank you for your interest in Islam and the Muslims. It is our duty and privilege to present the truth and proof about Islam and what it represents. We desire to clear up misconceptions and misunderstandings about Islam to help others see the true message that came with all of the prophets from Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace be upon them all.

The message is: Laa elaha illa lah (none has the right to be worshipped except Allah).

The word used most often in Quran&hadith, that is so often mistranslated as kill; slay; or slaughter is not jihad, it is qital and if you look to the Arabic, you will quickly understand this word in today's usage would clearly be combat.

Naturally, just as here in the U.S. we must stand up for righteousness and strive to prevent oppression, aggression and tyranny. This is the proper usage and understanding for this term, as you will discover while passing through the tafseer and explanations by top scholars today.

Scholars of Quran tell us the verses dealing with this topic are specific and not intended to imply a general meaning for just anyone to decide to go around combating non-Muslims. The early Muslims had been driven out of their homes and turned out into the desert to starve. After finally, relocating in Medina, verses came in Quran instructing them to make hajj (pilgrimage) back to Makkah. Finding their way blocked and after several years of making agreements and treaties that the others continually broke, the Muslims were at last, told they could now fight in combat against the tyrants who had so horribly mistreated and abused them in the past. However, this would only be acceptable to Allah if they remained within very specific limitations. The word "qital" in Arabic in this instance refers to "combat" rather than what some have used "kill" because the word "kill" is far to general, while the word "combat" appropriately describes what is intended by the usage in this passage. Allah Knows Best.

It should also be noted the usage of the word "fitnah" in the same verse denotes a horrible condition, not unlike what we find today when there is terrorism and tyranny against the moral and just society at large. It would be easy to properly understand the meaning as, "Engage them in combat, even killing them, until the state of "fitnah" (terrorism) no longer exists in the society and people are free to worship Allah by their choice."

We can see these verse are not designed to promote terrorism, but rather these are very orders from Above to the Muslims to be the first of those who stand out aggressively against all forms of terrorism and oppression.

Once this is in place, there really isn't a question anymore, due to the necessity as we see today, to prevent and subdue enemies of freedom, liberty and justice. In other words, we could easily say Allah ordered believers in the Quran to wage combat against terrorism - 14 centuries ago. And the "struggle against oppression, terrorism and tyranny" in the Arabic language, it is called, "Jihad."

You might even say, "Islam declared the WAR ON TERRORISM over 1,400 years ago!"

Answer 6

Answer 7

First, I'm a Christian.  Second, you don't know what you're talking about.  The hadith is not the Holy Qur'an but they are allegations of what Muhammad/his companions said and did.  They are not Scripture (the Word of God) in Islam.  The Scripture of Islam says this about fighting (Holy Qur'an 60:8-9,) "(8) Allah forbids you not respecting those who fight you not for religion, nor drive you forth from your homes, that you show them kindness and deal with them justly. Surely Allah loves the doers of justice.  (9) Allah forbids you only respecting those who fight you for religion, and drive you forth from your homes and help (others) in your expulsion, that you make friends of them; and whoever makes friends of them, these are the wrongdoers."

If Muslims are supposed to fight non-Muslims, why aren't they doing it now.

EDIT - spacemonkey907, your lies to people to provoke them to start a war with Muslims for no reason is going to get alot of people hurt for no reason, unless God chooses otherwise.

Answer 8

It's called tolerance.  I'd explain but I'd have to use polysyllabic words and I don't think you'd... oh, your head just exploded.

Sorry.

Answer 9

EVERY religion is evil

Answer 10

**** off ********. Islam is not evil - that book was written 2000 years ago - not all of it is relevant today. Read the Bible it has some ****** up stuff in it as well. Learn some god d**n tolerance and go get an education.

Every religion causes evil in some way - look at the crusades. But just because some people from a religion are messed up, doesn't mean the entire religion is. And how can you say Americans have no expierience of the negative aspects of Islam - have you not heard of 9/11 idiot?

I'm British - and please know we are not all like this moron.
