Nasser Bin Suleiman Al-Omar Quotes

This is a huge epic poem that he wrote over several years. At the time, the Persians considered themselves far more civilized and sophisticated than the Arabs who were but tribesmen. They really resented the fact that it was the Arabs that brought Islam. And before, most of the Persians worshipped Zoroaster. Although Islam spread faster and further than any religion in history, it was not always easily accepted as this stanza of the poem indicates. There is to this day a superiority that the Iranians perceive over the Arabs. And to this day, many Arabs resent the Iranians for this attitude.

It is this verse that for some Muslims justifies terrorism against non-Muslims. See {584354} for a specific example. There are similar provisions in the Old Testament which a few extremely conservative Jews and Christians have used to advocate for blasphemy being a capital crime. Note that if an unbeliever repents and becomes a Muslim, he should be spared.

She was born a Muslim herself and her life has been threatened by other, Muslims who are fundamentalists who are living proof or her point.

This sura has unfortunately been used by some Serbians and other Christians to justify ethnic cleansing against Muslims.

In one of the historical ironies of the 12th century, a Christian sect preferred the rule of the Muslims than their Christian brethren—on the grounds of religious tolerance. It illustrates the changes that take place over time. By the 21st century, it was the Christians who were thought of as tolerant and the Muslims as the opposite.

This is only one of many anti-American and anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic passages in the text. It is typical of much of the Wahhabi literature which also supports jihad and violence. Much of the funding for the Wahabbi comes from the Saudi Arabian Government and members of the Saudi Royal Family. There is total censorship in Saudi Arabia and nothing gets preached or printed if the Saudi government wishes otherwise. However, most of the imams in Saudi Arabia are Wahhabi and are paid by the government. The Royal Family’s only fear of losing power is if the Islamic clerics claim that the government is not supportive of Islam. They spend much money to buy their lack of opposition to the monarchy. The government position however is contrary to these hate-filled textbooks.

He is a Greek Orthodox Christian, and he correctly observes that the Islamic world was considerably more tolerant than the Christian until the 18th century when Islam had become less tolerant in the Middle East while the Christians were modernizing and going through a cultural and intellectual enlightenment and societal modernization while the Muslims, became less tolerant than they were in earlier years leading to the modern situation.

One of the many difficulties that Muslims have in understanding America is their perception that Islam is snubbed by the government. Separation of church and state is the exact opposite of the basic doctrines is Islam which holds that everything in society including government should be driven and controlled religiously. While that view was true of the Roman Catholic church at one time as well as some of the National Protestant churches, America is the antithesis. In general, where there is a ceremonial role that religions are given by government like prayer at the start of Congressional sessions, there are very few consultations of government officials with specific religions about government civil and secular policy and legislation. There are just too many religions in America and it would be impractical even if it were not against American tradition and even law in some cases.

Despite the fact that the statues were holy symbols to Buddhists, they were offensive to Muslims who say statues as “graven images” prohibited by the Koran. See Wakil Ahmad Muttawakil {608419} and Jamal’s other quotation {604665}.

See {624641} for Iranian confirmation of its discriminatory policy. The Iranian "justification for murdering Bahais is this: The Behai were originally Muslims and then they created an heretic form of Islam. Under Islamic Law (Sharia), any Muslim who converts away from Islam to ANY other religioun must be out to death. As barbarous as this sounds, the irrational thinking is the same as that of the Catholic Church when Protestant chiurches emerged. All of them were to be put to death. However that was over 600 years ago, and humanity has much imporoved standards today. But the Muslims are 700 years younnger than the Catholic Church and some point out that they are behaving the same way as the Catholics, brutal as it is, when the Church was at the same level of maturity as Islam is today.

In the middle of 2010, this organization was running public utility bus ads in major American cities.

Toleration is a relative term. The Muslim Moors made Christians (and Jews) pay a special tax. At times they were forced to wear special clothing so that they could be readily identified. And they could not build churches larger or taller than the smallest mosque in the community. At times, their occupations were restricted but at other times Christians and Jews were appointed to the highest positions like Vizier. The Inquisition, in contrast, forced all Muslims (and Jews) to leave the country without any of their property or money or be tortured and killed—usually by burning at the stake unless of course that they converted to Christianity.

He was the scientist most responsible for the Pakistani nuclear bomb capability. However, he took his technological knowledge and without the knowledge of his government and contrary to their promises to the United States and other nations, accepted large secret payments to assist third world dictatorships to begin a nuclear weapons program. When he was caught, he was arrested but he is one of the very few world class scientists that Pakistan had ever had and was one of the most famous and popular Pakistani figures. The Pakistani Supreme court ruled that he was free to move about Pakistan but may not leave the country, and he is supposedly monitored to prevent his sharing nuclear secrets with terrorists and dictatorial states. In 2012 he formed his own political party.

There are other religious groups that also fear modern secular invasion, so they tend to wall themselves off as do the Amish or have their own schools as many Catholics do. However, the Muslims believe that the danger calls for a jihad and the killing and intimidation of those who advocate, create, defend or spread the secularism. Notice also that Al-Qaradhawi refers to Communism as having destroyed “Muslim countries in Asia and Eurupe.” Many countries of Europe and Asia were fought over by Christians and Ottoman Turks with one side or the other gaining control, only to be displaced by the other in subsequent years. Fundamentalist Muslims therefore think of Albania, Yugoslavia, Crimea, Croatia, and Azerbaijan, for example as Islamic countries because at one point in history they were controlled by a Muslim empire. But that was years ago. When they were invaded by the Russians, Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists all suffered and not a single country was then controlled by Islam.
