Then you should read books on islamic history written by non-biased authors like Karen Armstrong.
No one can stop them but it doesn't mean that knowing that those people have no authority and permission for giving fatwas you still believe them and try to completely ignore the rulings given by the rightous scholars and people with knowledge and authority.
If I want to learn about Christianity I wouldn't go and learn it from the US politicians who ordered the murder of millions of Iraqis and Afghanis.
Similarly, if you are sincere then you should present Islamic rulings from the right authorities. Usama bin Laden or his followers don't have any authority over Islamic Law and they're not qualified to give rulings based on a sahih hadith.
Sahih hadith means that its chain of narration is not broken, that's it.
I can see that you yourself is not ready to accept the true Islamic Laws and keep on insisting that Radicals's interpretations are real and thus Islam is a radical religion.
People who wants to make havoc will do anything and misinterprete anything no matter if they follow a religion or not. What Jews are doing in Israel is against the teachings of their Scriptures, Christians are told to turn the other cheek but how many Christians are doing that?
And talking about the Secularism, the most terrible wars happened in the era of Secularism. So where do you draw the lines?
Fact is that radicals are exist in every religion, nation and ideology.
First of all, you need to know that there's a principal that if a person leaves God then God leaves him even more.
And hypocrites are not non-believers according to Quran. Quran talks about three types of humans, Believers[mu'mineen], Disbelievers[kuffar] and hypocrites[munafiqeen]. Sometimes non-muslims can be Believers too. Hypocrites are worse than disbelievers according to Islam.
Islamic rulings are not given based on only Sahih Bukhari and sahih Muslim, there are main six books that are considered most important and Sunnan Abi Dawud is one of them.
It's not logical to just read the most harsh incident from Bukhari and make that a law, Shariah is not a simpletons math.
Hareem I m trying to make a point all through this discussion. But I feel that I m still unable to make what I want to convey.
See, there is a Shaitan/bad human in all of us. We have to fight him daily so that he dont inspire us to do bad, sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. This results in all the good and bad deeds we do.
Now if we get religious sanction to do any bad deed, than we do it with more rhetoric and justify it to our heart. No guilty feeling remains. Caste system in hinduism, sati in hinduism, untouchablity and many social evils are result of these mininterpretation of religious scriptures.
No sane person can deny religious nature of Talibaans. They are indeed religious ppls. But they are wild animals too, just like any normal human being. They get their violence justified by misinterpretation of shariyah, and thats all they need, they feel that they are acting according to will of ALLAH and sunnah of the holy prophet, while U feel that they are doing unislamic things. And thats the magic of religious scriptures that U both get ur desired dose from it.
Now whats the solution? U cant stop destructive property of human nature, religious scripture fuel the fire of shaitan, resulting in worst kind of violence.
Its high time to stop religious fundamentalism, it has already been too late and who can know this better than those bearing the brunt.
Peace.
