Re: Islam, War, Militant groups .. some quetions
Asslam-U-Alikum
There's no doubt that Islam prohibited killing innocent civilians. The people who have hatred in their hearts for muslims, or make plans or wishes to destory muslims or encourage and participate in prapogandas that harm muslims can't be considered innocent civilians or friends of muslims. Islam tells us to fight against those people (this also inculdes, the so called our "moderate" muslims brothers and sisters who blindly follow the media). At the time Fateh Makaah, it was a different story. Indeed Prophet (SAW) laid a best example for us how to forgive our enemy.
I agree with brothers/sisters resposnes that there should be an Islamic government who should support and send its own military to fight against kafirs because that's the true jihad is. But why do we forget we don't have an Islamic government and most likely it doesn't seem we'll have one untill the return of Hazrat Imaam Mehdi (AS) (Allah knows best). Therefore, someone or maybe some groups have to come forward to perform the duty of jihad but they have to do it Islamically.
sory off topic:
It makes me sad when i hear the term "suicide bombings" from my own intelligent brothers & sisters in Islam. Those who truely believe there's actually suicide bombing in Iraq or Afghanistan etc. Please provide me an eye witness proof, the person who actually saw someone with bombs and later blew himself in public. Do you actually believe, a person who suffering and going through the same pain as others, would go and blow himself and harm his own brothers & sisters? How do the media or anyone else find out that where ever a bomb blasted, it was a suicide bomber? as far i can think of, two cases pops uo in my mind
1- Someone actually saw the person, someone who looked suspicious and later a bomb was balsted at that place
2- They just make up the stories and generalize the idea
No answer these logically
For the first case, if a person found someone suspicious, he would directly report to the security staff or warn other people (it's obvious during the war time and as these kinds of cases happens every day). Has that happened in the past? Now, we've an eye witness but i haven't seen or heard about one since all these incidents. Plus how logically it make sense that a person just comes in public and blow himself without anyone noticing him when everyone is cautious and security staff is alert.
I don't want to go in details regarding the 2nd case.
