^ No, evidently it is wrong to attack a Muslim. Only in self defense, if you are attcked by a wayward Muslim may you defend yourself, but you have to try your hardest not to kill them.
dude, thats bullwash (hogs are haram)... and u know it too, sadly ppl posting it dont.
Something is called Reham in Islam, I've given the Islamic perspective based on the concept that a muslim protects another muslim's life, wealth and dignity.
Seminole, I find it odd that on the one hand you decry Muslim-on-Muslim violence, then on the other proclaim such pro-unity ideas as somehow unbecoming and nefarious.
Yes, Muslims today kill, segregate and suppress other Mulsims to the point of nefariousness. So yes, I decry that. Unity is great, but not at the expense of treating those outside of your group with any less respect or as not being a prospect for a friend.
American black on black violence is out of control. It's a travesty and it needs to stop. But the reason for it is not becuase of a lack of black unity. It is because of many underlying social issues. The solution isn't to say that blacks need more unity amongst themselves and to exclude whites as friends.
It would be the height of ignorance for a black man to say he would treat a white man trying to rob him any different than a black man. That he would try his hardest to not kill the black intruder but whitey is fair game to blow his head off.
Anyone of any race or religion should protect another's life, wealth and dignity without regard to their race or religion.
I’m saying that the average foot soldier does think that. I do think the average American soldier has developed a warrior tradition that incorporates those values as somthing sacred. The elite will have their own agendas, no doubt.
As for Vietnam, that was propagandized as a war against an evil regime which was demonstrably “un-free”. Liberation (not to mention containment of an expansionist threat) was the theme, not occupation.
Is that in compliance with the ideal Hareem pointed out? The bottom line is, there's nothing at all wrong with the ideal.

Oh don't be so hypersensitive. Every nation state on earth espouses the same values, but it's all hunky dory when they do it. Double standard.

One needs to clean their own backyard before they even think about helping others. Decrying Muslim-on-Muslim violence, or inter-communal violence is a good start.
All I can say is this: when the concerned citizenry of pakistan cannot unequivocally condemn any desertion and disobenience by its soldiers and start using conditions and ipsos and provisos, it is clear that the cancer of religiouso has entrenched deep.wonder what the price pakistan has to be pay to redeem from this

When the average secularist can accept the betrayal of the writ of the state by the leadership of the armed forces, there really there is no basis for a discussion here with such types.
