What, the Hadiths are not part of Islam?
The following excerpts were copied from Islam and Terrorism and Culture Clash, both books by Mark A. Gabriel, PhD. These books are both paperbacks and available at Amazon.com.
The Ultimate Goal of Islam---Worldwide Submission to Islam
Islam is not merely a religion where you worship God the creator. Islam is your daily life. When you accept Islam, or if you are born into Islam, every aspect of your daily life is controlled by the Islamic system. Choice is minimized. Conformity is maximized. Loyalty to Islam is reinforced from morning to night.
Democracy violates Islamic Law because it steals the right to rule away from Allah and gives it to the people.
Democracy is a system that was not created by Allah; it was created in the minds of men. Any person who tries to rule by any law other then the law of Allah is saying that the laws of Allah are not good enough. That person is a Kafir, meaning infidel. The Quran orders that infidels be killed
A person who follows man-made laws is nothing but a criminal and a transgressor of the law, says the Quran.
If you read the Quran cover-to-cover, you will find that 60% of it is related to the holy wars (jihad) that were led by Mohammed and his followers.
The war today is between seventh-century Islamic culture and twenty-first-century modern culture. These cultures are incompatible. They cannot coexist because the values of one violate the values of the other.
A woman cannot go out in public without a male family member escorting her in many Islamic societies.
Fear God wrote "So what is God's laws and man made laws ?
would you please clarify the differences "
Have you not heard of Sharia Law? Man-made or Civil laws is what all civilized countries operate under. Sharia law is the barbaric laws proscribed in the Koran. There is no other word but barbaric to describe Sharia Law so please don't act like you don't know the difference between the two.
I don't understand what do you think bad about Islam.
Do you mean can't see girls in bikini, can't drink wine, can't eat pork.
Is it hard to liberate ourselves from those things.
You deny everything as if that will change what is said and practiced in Islam. You deny what I know and have seen and what other see regarding Islam.
The verses around 9:33the literary contextreveal an absolutist outlook, which terrorists and non-violent extremists are quick to pick up on. Because of Muhammads northward gaze, the polemics against Christianity becomes harsher, as seen here:
SURA 9:29 Fight [q-t-l] against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (Hilali and Khan, parenthetical notes are theirs)
This verse, now famous or infamous, uses the verb qatala in its imperative form. The basic meaning of the root q-t-l signifies fighting, killing, warring and slaughtering, so Muhammad endorses violence. This verse also outlines four conditions for fighting, but we zero in on the fourth one. Muslims are commanded to fight against the Jews and Christians who do not acknowledge the religion of truth, Islam. The Christians and Jews must submit after battle or avoid battle by paying a special "protection" tax for the "privilege" of living under Islam, which was moving northward without provocation.
What the problem with taxes.
Muslims pay taxes in the form of Zakat and the others pay it in the form of Jizyah.
The same as of today.
Tell me if there is one state in the world not enforcing taxes in order to manage the state.
Your answers are so funny. What indeed is wrong about having to pay taxes just to live??? What happens if a Jew or Christian refuses to pay? We know the answer so no lies please.
One question I have regarding Islam, the wonderful, compassionate, loving, tolerant religion you so passionately promote. One question. What is the penalty for someone who leaves Islam and converts to another religion?
Jews and Christians pay Jizyah, what about other people? How would it be for all the pagans and "godless" people? Why would there even be a different kind of tax for people based on beliefs?
The answers are why most people do not like Islam without indoctrination or being forced. It isn't compatible with universal values in the present world that we share in real life. Only certain parts believed and lived by liberal Muslims trying to evolve and grow up.
Definition of Jyziah
The jizyah tax was only for young non-Mulsim men who refused to serve in the military while living under Islamic rule. They were being protected by the military so if they refused to serve, and they had that right, they were taxed.
