Glory to God in the highest & peace on earth & good-will to all. Amen.
Now as far as yourself, since originally u r not a Muslim neither living in a Muslim country, look at the rest of the post.
Allah Say:
And fight in the Way of Allah those who fight you, but transgress not the limits
Here is the rule, plus other Ayahs, of course i m just trying to be specific to help u understand.
Thus, why would I or any other Muslim fight u or classify u as waging war against Allah and His Messenger, so long as you are not fighting us muslims, trying to prevent us from practicing our religion,...etc.
Ya habibti, this is music to my ears!
Are you absolutely certain that your explanation is accurate because if so, I'll be quoting you from now on :D
You point out that I live in a non-Muslim country, but am I able to lead the life I'm currently living... in an Islamic state? Freely practising the faith openly & publicly?
Of course, in today's world this is an ideal not a reality because countless infidels are persecuted on a daily basis due to strict Islamic law. But is this unfair treatment contrary to Koranic teaching? Please say yes!!! My fingers are tightly crossed.
As I'm sure you're well aware by now, I lose sleep over the rights (or lack there of) given to infidels/apostates under certain Islamic systems.
Are apostates at war with Allah when they renounce Islam? Under Sharia they ought to be put to death in all circumstances... True? Does the Koran recommend this punishment? If so, why? Wouldn't Allah in all His omnipotence automatically strike them dead on the spot if they were guilty of a mortal sin?
I have issues with humans taking matters into their own hands & playing the role of Allah. When you stop & think about it, no one has the right to take the life of an innocent person besides the Creator, Himself.
May Allah have mercy on us all.
Please feel free to move on to the other questions I raised in my original entry.
Thanks a million, Muslimah :)
