Re: Beheading of enemies ,whats the Islamic view?
I happened to watch a few beheading scenes which are spreaded on net,puportedly posted by a few Islamic terror Organizations,for gaining popularity or otherwise as their propoganda.One such video I watched was Dagestan killings,in which six Russian conscriptors were getting beheaded by Chechnyan rebels.Similar kinds of videos once caught headlines especially from Iraq.Even Muslims have been subjected to this crime.
I understand and firmly believe Islam as a religion of Humanity,Brotherhood and its principles are modern.But after watching these videos I somehow wonder,such ogrish acts are truely authenticated?Ofcourse those rebels or Mujahideens who do carry out such acts are not simply morons but they have some ideology in their mind and they are true believers in that.So what makes them justify that?Besides they are ready to sacrifice their lives for their religious cause or causes that they bind to their religion.
I am sure islam ,being the religion of transparent values will never advocate that.So what's the loophole for these people to carry out such heinous acts? (I am sure such acts are tampering the image of Islam or atleast Non-Muslims tend/will tend to view Islam through a different prism).
I reiterate that this thread is not meant for offending Islam and its believers.So only meaningful discussions,pls.
(I disagree with some points made by respected Psyah. Anyway no big deal)
The main question is "Is there a loophole" in Islam for people to commit these acts?
The answer is big No!
Do we really believe criminals need a loophole to commit crime?
Its like saying: Is there a loophole in the law which will make people commit murder, rape, robbery?
