Asalaamu Alaykum to al the mumineen,
I am a Muslim and a servant of Allah. The comments which you expressed (in my opinion) are utter and complete rubbish, on the contrary; 'civilisation' is an enemy of Islam. The concepts and fundamental beliefs that 'civilisation' represents are disgusting and evil. That is why, there is a jihad against 'civilisation', that is why the 'Jihadists' are doing what they are. However, in no circumstances is killing permissible, violence is not a good thing, I condemn my Muslim brother's only for that particular reason.

For example; the western world has a belief that prostitution, pornograph, homosexuality, alchool abuse, drug abuse (the list goes on forever) are acts which are permissible - what foolishness? If Allah (God) allowed homosexuality, how comes Allah didn't make it possible for gay couple to conceive? It distinctly mentions in all the holy books; that homsexuality is an act that is pure evil and such transgression is never forgiven.

Allah (God) created mankind for a soul purpose; to give mankind a chance to experience life and in return show obediance to Him, the Beneficent, Merciful.
How does mankind repay Him, with acts of sin, which He did not permit, yet mankind is ignoring. How do you think Allah is feeling? These 'Islamist' or 'fundamentalists' are expressing their anger at 'civilisation' by resorting to violence (which I condemn, because only Allah has the right to punish who He will).

Can you believe that 'civilisation' remembers Jesus more than Allah (God), when it was Allah, that created him. It was Jesus (Eissa) that spread the message of believing and worshipping in the one true God - Allah, yet mankind worship Jesus more than He who is de-served of Most Praise, for was it not He that created us?

It says in the Qur'an;
'Again will Allah, after this, turn (in mercy) to whom He will: for Allah is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful.
O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque. And if ye fear poverty, soon will Allah enrich you, if He wills, out of His bounty, for Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah.s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One Allah. there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).

Fain would they extinguish Allah.s light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it).

It is He Who hath sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).

O ye who believe! there are indeed many among the priests and anchorites, who in Falsehood devour the substance of men and hinder (them) from the way of Allah. And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah. announce unto them a most grievous penalty-

On the Day when heat will be produced out of that (wealth) in the fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, their flanks, and their backs.- "This is the (treasure) which ye buried for yourselves: taste ye, then, the (treasures) ye buried!"'

Just a Thought,
Fi Amaan Nillah
