wa’alaykum as-salam
because the actions and corruption of such people make us draw such conclusions. Secondly, it is well known that the west has used these so called traditionalist and sufis, and defeated mindset people to hijack and liberalize Islam. You don’t have to look too far to find an example.
let’s be fair and not attack me with a straw man. I didn’t say that suicide bombing is halal. Neither I am in a position to issue such a fatwa. What I was trying to say is that if part of an action is wrong then we shouldn’t label the whole action as wrong. Just because an action is carried out the wrong way doens’t mean that the whole purpose and everything about that action is wrong. Let’s not mix up things here and go into extreme.
1 - Protecting the blood and honour of Muslims, is that good or bad?
2 - Carrying out that in a wrong way, is that good or bad?
These are two different aspects. We need to support 1) and educate people to not to do 2). So let’s be fair and just in our approach and criticism. Everyone wants to spend their entire energy on one aspect and as a result people have gone into extreme.
even though i understand where you’re coming from but a flawed argument! Do Muslims no die in legtimate jihad al-qital? Should we stop participating in that too since our own blood as a Muslim will be lost?
Would you rather want kufaar to annihilate everyone or would you want some of them to be taken care off even if by wrong means? Doing nothing is better than doing something!
this is already understood. Jihad is for sake of Allah, spreading Islam, protecting it and its followers. I don’t know how you’re understanding these suicide actions as taking revenge.
No one is narrowing down; I simply said that Muslims come first. Do you want Muslims to sit down home and do nothing because it is wrong mean and hurt kufaar while they kill every single one of us? Or do you prefer these Muslims to take some action and protect some Muslims? We are not Iraqi or Palestinian or any other prosecuted Muslims. Hence, it is easy for us to pose these sorts of things.
See akhee, the problem is that 1) our priorities are not sorted out and 2) we mix up different aspects and go to extreme.
We condemn the wrong and educate people but let’s not overlook at the beneficial and good aspect.
no one is denying that but Muslims come first
