RE: Religion of Terror? Leaked ISIS Docs Show 70% of Recruits Don’t Even Know What Islam Is
"killing innocent people for political power is abhorrent in all of them"
You need to re-read the Old Testament. God specifically commands his people to slaughter innocents over and over exactly for political power. What do you think happened to the Canaanites?
The thing about the Quran and the Old Testament is that non-believers aren't innocent.
I meant currently; I made the point earlier that Biblical history was also violent, and that historical context is important when comparing religious texts. Unless you actively seek out foreign news sources, it's easy to think that all Muslims are calling for violence against "infidels", but the vast majority of Muslim leadership denounces terrorist acts claimed by ISIS.
There's a great deal of debate as to whether Christians and Jews are believers according to the Quran. Every Muslim I've spoken to has said that they are, but I've read conflicting accounts on the oh-so-reliable internet, so I need to study that issue further.
I'm not talking about Muslims in general. I mean the Quran specifically. Kafirs are not innocent.
Denying Allah and Islam is about the greatest crime there is.
As it's been explained to me, in order to be kafir, you must willingly denounce God as the one and only God and/or refuse to accept Muhammad as His Messenger even though you know it is fact. It's a willful act, not one of ignorance. Even denouncing Muhammad is not enough if you're doing so based on false teachings/political propaganda.
