A young boy's ambition in life: To kill "non-believers".

Pakistan’s Interior Minister Moinuddin Haider said:

“From many years the sectarian parties are spreading poison among their followers and polluting their minds. They take a child under care and poison his mind and he starts thinking the other (sects) are Kafirs (non-believers) and there will be recompense to kill them.”

In a mosque in Lahore, a young boy says his big ambition in life is to kill “non-believers”. His friend says he wants to fight a Jihad, or holy war.

In the nearby village of Raiwind, hundreds of bearded men carrying bed rolls arrive at a religious school to learn more about their Islamic faith before heading off to preach in Pakistan and abroad.

In Punjab, where 60 per cent of Pakistan’s, 140 million people live, segregation of the sexes is gaining momentum. Television advertisements of pretty young women using facial soap have been pulled, not for what they show, but for what they don’t. As one government censor put it: “People may imagine that she is not wearing anything.”

The Quran does not distinguish between the majority and the minority, but between the Muslims and non-Muslims. Its injunctions on how the Muslims should treat the non-Muslims are numerous, unambiguous and blood-chilling. The Quran repeatedly promises hell to kafirs, warns believers against mixing with kafirs, calls on them to wage war on kafirs, encourages war against kafirs by glorifying it or by promising lust in paradise to shaheeds who die in such a war.

Interesting story.

Definitely not a fiction

A very true story indeed. But the person being quoted needs support. Even simple letters and emails with encouraging ideas can go a long way. Let us, the civlized ones, who think they know, help to solve.

I float an idea here. I have an intention *to start a free education system parallel to the madrassas, where a large generation of Liberal civilized men and women is trained to take a stand on the original secular and liberal values of Islam. * While the liberals in Pakistan close their eyes in a careless sleep, or leave the country to forsake it of brains, leaving it alone in the hand of the Molvi, I am one young man who is prepared to dedicate his life. Is there anyone else? My voice has echoed in the hollow hearts of people of Pakistan, through stories of Love of youth, and Essays in politics and religion. Papers, magazines, and speeches. But in the end I realize I am alone. But I will take a stand, and I will rescue the land, even if I have to do it alone!

I would dare to disagree with the last paragraph of the starting post, which is an opinion of Face Up and not of the Person being quoted.

The following Chapter of the Koran presented the first of the ideas of Secularism and Freedom of Belief:

Chapter 109, The Unbelievers

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Say: 'O unbelievers,
I serve not what you serve,
and you are not serving what I serve,
nor am I serving what you have served,
neither are you serving what I serve.
To you, your religion, and to me my religion!

How blood-chilling is it?
It has been taught to the Prophet and his followers, :

Not equal are the Good deed and the Bad deed.
Repel the evil with that which is the very best, and behold, he between whom and thee, there us an enemity shall be as if he were a loyal friend.
(Chapter 41, The distinguished, verse 34)

How close is this teaching to the word, 'blood-chilling' my dear fellow? Why is it, that you, following the footsteps of the Madrassas, misuse your tongue in lies, over an issue you have not studied? Why is it, that you, dear faceup, following the footsteps of the Madrassas, find faults in a religion you have not known?

You have blamed 'Islam' of encouraging Muslims to wage wars against Kafirs. Sir, please review your allegation in the light of the actual teaching:

--- The need of a permission of War:

Permission is given to those, who have been fought with, because they were wronged. -Surely Allah is able to help them.
(Chapter 22, The Pilgrimmage, Verse 39)

---Only Defensive War is allowed:

And fight in the way of Allah, with those who fight with you, and agress not. Allah does not love the agressors.
(Chapter 2, The Cow, verse 190)

---Return to Peace if the Enemy desires so:

And if they incline to Peace, do thou incline to it. And put thy trust in Allah; he is the all-hearing, the all-knowing.
(Chapter 8, The Spoils, verse 61)

Dear Face-up, please compare the actual teaching with what you have described it to be and review your position on the topic. It suits not the learned to speak loose.


.....So they turned away from him and said, '' A man tutored, possessed! ''
