Re: Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani & IsLam
I have said enough about stance of Promised Messiah (as) on Jesus (as) and there is nothing to add. You can continue looking at this matter through mtkn tinted glasses.
As for Jihad, the quotes are in a certain context. Why dont you read and quote the context of the passages that you have provided here.
I can help you understand the context a bit. There was a time when nations were pitched against each other because influence of a faith from one nation would threaten the other. Persians were overwhelmed by Romans when christianity took hold of the Roman Empire. And when Islam came, both persians and romans were threatened by the Arabs. This inevitably resulted in wars. Muslims only fought to defend their faith and their enemies kept fighting and loosing battle over battle, until their whole empires curmbled. Muslims never intended to spread Islam by sword, but it was an automatic result of the political situation at that time.
Now, atheism and secularism is the order of the day and faiths don’t matter to the world powers. So the wars in these days are based on territorial and economic disputes. Holy Prophet (saw) was given this knowledge by Allah and he proclaimed 1500 years ago that Messiah (as) will come to abolish “harb”. Harb is war and this clearly indicates that Promised Messiah (as) was not supposed to follow the medieval ways. This is time of knowledge and information and our Jihad is of argument and preaching..
But the Quranic injunctions of the right to defend our territory and land still stands. And any war fought to protect muslim lands is Jihad (if fought under one leadership and with proper rules of engagement according to the Sunnah of Holy Prophet (saw)).
