Jihad is coming

Reader comment on item: What is Jihad?

Submitted by almir begovic (United Kingdom), Mar 21, 2004 at 00:28

The US is the country that can pride itself with the following:

1. Genocide against native American population. It is only example in recent history where the entire population was entirely wiped out.

2. Only country that has used nuclear weapons against civilian population

3. Since 2nd world war it has committed aggression against more than 70 nations worldwide

4.US trained some of the most dangerous terrorists that this planet has ever seen
( School of the Americas )

5. It is US that occupies Muslim land not the opposite

All of this makes mockery of the claims such "freedom loving nation" etc. In its essence all of above mentioned is direct consequence of the capitalist creed. The democracy is only chosen ruling system of the capitalist society, although it is often presented as a solution for the problems the humankind is facing today.

I would like to invite you to have a closer look at the teachings of Islam. Islam offers solution for these problems.

Islam means submit ion to the will of God, hence there is no "moderate" Muslim. You can't mix the truth and falsehood and claim to be a Muslim.

And yes when Islamic state is re-established, one of its functions will be to spread Islam all over the world. The people are invited to accept Islam. If they refuse they are given choice to submit to the Islamic authority. If they do their rights are guaranteed in return for tax payment.

Jihad is only fought against the people who refuse to hear the Message of God. It is not fought to plunder their land of the natural resources. That is why people of conquered lands accepted Islam en masse as you can see it today. Islam never divided people into First, Second and Third World.

There are many examples where Islam spread without jihad ( e.g. SE Asia).

I would like to invite you once again to look into the teachings of Islam and depart from the corrupt ideas of capitalism.
