Syria - The Truth And Why You Should Care
Let's just put the situation in the simplest context and explain why half of the world's account and story about Syria is wrong (you can guess which Staterun media I'm referring to). To put it simply, Syria is just on the verge of being another Iraq (with the new ploy and claims of chemical weapons usage) and likely almost entirely false charges against the legitimate government of Syria. The Syrian people, or at least the majority of them don't want the instability and su...

Emotional Democrat becomes latest symbol of gathering storm over Iraq
Emotional Democrat becomes latest symbol of gathering storm over Iraq 18:51:37 EST Nov 17, 2005 BETH GORHAM WASHINGTON (CP) - The pressure on President George W. Bush over Iraq just keeps mounting as his popularity dips. Some Democrats are talking more about an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops. Republicans want Iraqis to assume more control for security, though they're not seeking a definitive timetable for pulling out of a war that's increasingly unpopular with A...

When Government Agencies Manufacture Terror
This is quite alarming if the RCMP (Police) in Canada could even manipulate and coerce, vulnerable, addicts who became Muslims. A lot of rhetoric calls for "Muslims to speak out against terror and stop it". How can we stop it when the police are the ones behind it and possibly other governments and intelligence agencies? In fact if we look at most cases of terror no one is ever held responsible for organizing or creating the terror. Sufficient investigation i...

10 Steps to Permanently Defeat Islamic Terrorism
This article is based on the phenomenon of certain individuals and groups specifically seeking to stop or defeat Islamic terrorism. First and foremost shouldn't all terrorism be stopped regardless of ethnic or religious background? To suggest that terrorism is perpetrated by specific religions or groups only encourages others to engage in it especially if they feel no one is paying attention because they are of a different background. In fact if we look past judging what i...

Polygamy in Islam is an exception and not the rule based on the Qur'an
This is such a confusing subject for both Muslims and non-Muslims but the Holy Qur'an makes it clear that Polygamy is permitted as an exception, not a rule under exceptional circumstances and the Qur'an declares it is not allowed except for the Prophet (PBUH) as it was for all prophets to ensure their lineage continued. As we can see below the Qu'an mentions the marriage of up to 4 orphans in the course of justice (in the Qur'an this was written during a time of war when many men were...

Violence in Islam? Violence is only permissible in self-defense - Response to 9:29 that anti-Islamists Use
Regarding 9:29, you should know it was revealed in Madinah, under the context of Muslims being attacked constantly by the Quarish. It applies in the situation where you're being attacked and fighting for your life. We could find the same conclusion by analyzing the Bible or the Tor'ah (there are sites out there just like hate sites that people use to attack Muslims over). I'm not attacking any other religion though, I'm just putting it into perspective for the readers, ...

Qur'an Surah Revelation - Location Which Surah was revealed in Madinah/Makkah(Mecca) ?
I think this is very important when reading the Qur'an, it gives you an idea of the context and situation it was written other. Especially because anti-Islamists try and take a few select verses from the Qur'an out of context in order to convince others that Islam is violent and intolerant to non-Muslims. We must remember the conditions each verse was made under, and also take into consideration other supporting verses when reading and interpreting the Qur'an. If one verse...

Response to anti-Islamic attack which calls for persecution of Islam and Muslims
Dannyboy56 said: The problem about Jihad is that it is a serious and is exists. It won’t go away by itself. Even if a small percentage of the Muslims are turning radical, that small percentage is too much of a threat if that radicalization translates into violence. ==================== Before I start I want people to know I'm responding to the context of how Muslims are treated in the West, not in China. Because in China I never had any problem as a Muslim....

Response to anti-Islamists and anti-Chinese on the Xinjiang Violence
Microbear77 says: Islamists will have a hard time making headways in China because China doesn't care what other people think of their measures. They do what they feel is best for their country. If Islamists want to prod China they may realize to their chagrin that it won't turn out their way. ============================= People posting anti-Islamic sentiments could be doing it for not only religious reasons but racism as well. I am saying it in this conte...

More Debates about Violence In Islam
Our response:I'd like to reply first of all by saying you cannot take random verses out of the Qu'ran and come to a conclusion. You have also just picked keywords and phrases out of the verses, some of which end by stating violence can only be used against those who fight you, and not those who offer you peace.We could find the same conclusion by analyzing the Bible or the Tor'ah (there are sites out there just like hate...
