because Allah Knows best we can not assign ourselves judges and label who is a true Muslim and who is not. I really fear much going into this area, many factors must be taken in consideration and we must never really let our feelings towards Islam take us in this direction. In this I am not talking about Sadam, yet I can never say he is not Muslim unless I hear this from him personally, i can only say his behaviour wallah u a`alem was not according to Islam, but in his case specially Allah Showed us his position. Allah S&T manifested on him with His Attribute Al-Mutakabbir: The Proud
"...the Proud (Al-Mutakabbir )..." (59:23).
Allah's quality of being the Proud considers everything less in comparison to its own essence. Majesty and glory belong to Allah alone. From this quality comes the command to magnify Allah by saying the takbîr, Allâhu akbar, Allah is Greater. This is pride in the purest sense of the word. It is inconceivable of anyone except Allah in an absolute sense.
Allah allowed the US to humiliate saddam who tried to take an Attribute of Allah
But still, we dont need to label people saying not muslims lest it falls back on us, only Allah Knows who is a true Muslim and who is not.
Plus what is the definition of terrorism?????
Who makes the definition???
who decides what is terrorism and what is not? I think we debated this before many times....
No need to dig again just for the sake of posting
