Pope crisis

Sure,you know about what Pope Benedict XVI said about Islam,

In Germany he was lecturing about Mind and Religion and that they can't be separated and their necessity for true speech between religions, and he quoted a speech between a Byzantine emperor and a Persian Muslim literate,and the Pope said here:'And the emperor talked about Jihad -Holy war- and the emperor said -and here I'm quoting what he said- :'Show me a new thing which Mohammad came by,and here you won't find except all what is evil and non-humanical like his orders to spread Islam by sword edge '.And he repeated twice that he is quoting what the emperor said, but he didn't reveal clearly if he accept or refuse it. Then he continued explaining in details why spreading the belief by violence is against mind.

Sure,Muslims got angry because of these words and its vague intention.

The Vatican hurried to present an apology,and the next day the Pope himself apologized FOR the angry reaction towards his words,and for the misunderstanding of them.

 

I won't talk about any of his words but the problem here is that who said them are the biggest head for Catholics,and he is the religious leader for them,and he is called 'Holiness'..all these must make him very careful towards his words and must choose them very well.

 

On the other hand what means that he was just quoting these words and that they don't represent his point of view?!!!!!!

It's out of logic to say that, because when a man quote words,so this is for one of two reasons; because they are representing his point of view, or to show another point of view which he reject. And the problem here is that he didn't rejected the emperor's words, or proofed that Islam didn't spread by sword but by its best teachings.

 

And if he wanted to talk about Islam.. 

Why he didn't say that all Muslims admit freedom of religion,and that Islam don't force others to convert it?!!!!!!!

Why he didn't say that Qur'an says: "Let there be no compulsion in religion..."?!!!!!!!!

Why he didn't mention the reply of the Muslim Persian?!!!!!!!!

Why he didn't say that Islam came by what Christianity and Judaism didn't came by like mixing between spiritually and materialism,between light of mind and light of revelation,balance between individual and society,between rights and duties,inviting to cooperation among nations and peoples,give woman her dignity as a human,female,wife,mother,sister,daughter and a member in society..etc?!!!!!!!!!

Why he didn't say that Islam didn't make victory by sword but made victory against sword which has been raised against it since its first announcement?!!!!!!

Why he didn't say that Qur'an says: "Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious..... "?!!!!!!

 

And,if he was talking about violence;

Why he didn't talked about Crusade wars (1096:1291) which were under name of the Cross and which caused many kills and a lot of destruction for Islamic state and was a great example of terrorism and barbarism?!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why he didn't quote Bushi words: "This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while"?!!!!!!!!

Why he didn't talked about crimes of Christian Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan?!!!!!!!!!

Why he didn't talk about Christians who forced non-Christians in Al-Andalus to convert Christianity?!!!!!!!!!

Why he didn't quoted texts from Old Testament like: "..thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword .." Deuteronomy Chapter 20:(10-13),or "..Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him  Numbers Chapter 31:(17,18)or "..thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth , 17 but thou shalt utterly destroy them.." Deuteronomy Chapter 20:(16,17) ?!!!!!!!

Why he didn't talked about Jewish crimes against Muslims in Palestine and Lebanon?!!!!!!!!!!!

Why he didn't talk about what Christian Europeans do against owners of American lands?!!!!!!!

 

So,I think that if he really wanted a start point for his speech about mind and faith,and how violence affect the relation between them,he could quote a text from Old Testament, not to quote words which represent a fake about peace religion.

 

On the other hand,if we compared Islamic and Christian belief; we'll see that Christianity says: 'Believe then have knowledge', 'Believe blindly' and 'Go blind and follow me' and this is clear from the belief of Trinity and making Prophet Jesus as a  God .

But if we looked at Islamic teachings we'll find out that having knowledge comes before faith,and that thinking fruits faith,and will find verses like: "Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day,- there are indeed Signs for men of understanding,- *  Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (With the thought): "Our Lord! not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire "

 

And if we believed that these words don't represent his opinion,so Is it a good thing to repeat the revile after the bad man says it?!!!!!!!!!!!

It's like: 'What he said was too bad,but I'm repeating it'

Islam teaches us not to revile anybody,as Qur'an says: " Revile not ye those whom they call upon besides Allah..."

 

So,I say to him,if you opened an issue,clarify it as a whole,especially when it's sensitive,and will hurt others feelings.

What are you judging?!!!

 There was in a past era of the history a wise man,he had a lot of good ethics,he was honest and always helping people and feel sympathy towards weak,he never tell lie,he never steal,he never drink,he never harlot,he never hurt others,he never oppress another person..generally he was a good man who reaches the level of idealism.

This man always ordered his sons to follow him,and to be good ethiced like him,many of his sons followed him.

 

 Years passed and the man died and the descendants still ordering their sons to follow the great grandfather teachings,many descendants followed the right teachings of their grandfather,but some of them were thinking that they were following his teachings,but they were so far away from them,they were telling lie,hurting others,stealing money of others,and oppressing others,...

 

 People from other families saw those bad descendants,and thought that those are representing teachings of this grandfather,and that also this grandfather is bad.

They hurried without thinking,and made a wrong judgement,and judged teachings of this man through bad deeds of his sons,however if they get back to documents of this grandfather they will find that he is a good man and have great teachings.

 

 

 This story is the same with Islam;

The man is Prophet Mohammad,his descendants are Muslims and people from other families are Non-Muslims.

 

Prophet Mohammad came with the message of Islam which is inviting to peace,love,cooperation,kindness among all people,his message was ordering not to hurt others,not to steal,drink,harlot,oppress,and this message is organizing all aspects of life from the private life of a Muslim,passing by his relations with others whether Muslims or Non-Muslim which is built on justice and kindness,and also is organizing the worship way,and many other aspects,and finally is organizing the Islamic state economically,politically,socially..etc.

And it was and still the best protocol of life for a neutral person,but in recent ages some persons or groups committed under name of Islam some deeds like bombing themselves killing innocents and some things like that which are very far from Islamic teachings and its origin.

 Non-Muslim in non-Islamic countries saw those people who are killing innocents under name of Islam and hurried and made a judgement on whole Islamic religion and said that it's a religion of terrorism.They didn't give themselves the opportunity to read teachings of Islam,and read Qur'an,and teachings of prophet Mohammad(PBUH).

As for some others who read some verses Qur'an and some teachings of Prophet Mohammad they also hurried,they truly read them,but they didn't give themselves the opportunity to understand what they are reading,and why this verse or this teaching has been mentioned,and its intended meaning,they didn't read when Muslims perform the order in it and when they don't perform it,and how it's performed,and also they didn't read about sayings of Foqaha'(Muslim scholars)about these verses not justifying it but explaining them.

 

So a last word; Judging a religion,philosophy or thinking isn't an easy thing,but to judge a thing you must and have to be very neutral , you must judge it through its teachings not through acts of its followers because you're then judging acts of its followers not it.

And I insist in this point;you must look at what you're judging, if you're judging Islam so look at its teachings taken from Qur'an and Sunnah, but if you're going to judge deeds of Muslims so look at deeds of good Muslims same like you look at deeds of bad Muslims.

WOW,WHAT A WONDERFUL PIECE OF NEWS!!!!!

This was my first reaction towards violent attacks against World Trade Centers(WTC).

BUT..When I though about it;

 

How many little boy lost his mother?!!!!
How many little girl lost her father?!!!
How many wife lost her husband?!!!!
How many husband lost his wife?!!!
How many family lost its son or daughter?!!!!
How many sons became orphans?!!!
How many wives became widows?!!!!

 

I said to myself that those poor men and women who have been killed in these horrible attacks aren't soldiers fighting in a battleground against innocents,nor they are the enemy..they were just employes on their offices or innocent citizens need some kind of advantage,

 

Whatever they believe in,

Whatever their nationalities were,

Whatever their politicians is helping a terrorist state...

Whatever their politicians and army committed against innocents in other states,

Whatever they were Muslims,Christians,Jewish,Buddhist or even have no religion or philosophy,

Just because they're human so they have the admitted right to live safely.

On humanical level,these attacks are barbaric,savage,terrible,horrible,awful,violent and must affect any who have a heart.
And those criminals who commit these attacks are no doubt savages,barbarous and don't have a mind nor a heart,and I'm sure that their punishment will be severe.

 

As for political level,these attacks are very useful and so good,SURE for American and Israeli dirty and sordid targets.

That's because after these attacks they created the word TERRORISM to fight against and to be a peg for any illogical dirty crimes against humanity like Israeli crimes in Palestine and Lebanon,American crimes against humanity in Iraq,Afghanistan and Guantanamo..

 

Also they were the lightest of WAR AGAINST ISLAM which started hidden under the name of WAR AGAINST TERRORISM..

 

Add to this that the wave of hatred against every what is Islamic started after these attacks,and also the wave of defacing Islam.

 

And for these reasons I won't wonder if I knew that Americans and Israelis have the biggest hand in these attacks.

 

A last thing I want to add;It's why my first reaction was the happiness?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not because I love disasters for others,but because I hate American policy in our Islamic lands,so I did the wrong and though that every what is American is bad,and that American people is like its politicians,but after I thought I reached the truth that Not because the government of a people is bad so that means that the people governed by this bad government is bad,but in contrary,it may be very good.

On the other hand,I mustn't be happy for disasters which happen for others.

Said America

In a speech for this bush,he described AhamadiNegad as a TYRANT,and compared it by Al-Qaida.

Ha Ha Haaaaaaaaaa

So,let us have a little compare between what Iran did,and what Israel did..

Iran wanted to develop itself and use a new source of energy.    That just what it did.

As for Israel;it killed more than 1000 of Lebanese babies,children,old men,women,civilians.It demolished many and many of habitation apartments.It destroyed more than 60 bridges,roads,hospitals,Electrical stations,Water stations..etc.It is occupying another state since 1948.It's daily killing Palestinian children and youths.Add to these crimes against humanity that it used internationally banned weapons,and didn't respect 1701 resolution,or international law.
On the other hand,Israel really has atomic bombs,and Iran don't have but in contrary the religious leader in it said that Islam banes using this kind of wide destructive weapons.

So to sum up;a state which didn't do any thing and there is not a drop of blood which it caused to leak,and another state which has a history stained by blood of thousands of children,babies,women and is built on bodies of owners of the land.And the first is accused by terrorism.

So if I have the right to ask a question;
How are you describing who kill children and women and demolish their homes Mr.Bush?!!!!!!
Let me guess the answer;
"If he is doing these crimes under Islam name so he is fascist,radical,barbarian,terrorist,violent,..etc.
But if it was Israel it's defending itself."  Said America.

This is clearly a double-standard measure against every what is Islamic,and against every state seeks development.And blind bias towards the terrorist Israel.And the most important thing is that it's a big proof on the forthcoming ending of current American government.
