This is my first blog. I keep reading about "Jihad this" and "Jihad that" etc, how the Wahabbis etc have corrupted everything etc etc. Since every Tom, Dick, Patel and Mullah seem to be enlightening us (or should that be 'lighting up the skies'?) with their thoughts, I thought I would add my own...because I can!
I guess everything kickstarted from this article [1] (I'll remove the link if I'm infringing copyright)
I guess the fundamental quesion being asked is "Does the Quran justify violence?", and the answer is "Of course!". We wouldn't be here if we were "nice namby-pamby flim-flam".
The next question is, does this explain Iraq, Afghanistan, 9/11 and 7/7 etc etc
Well assuming 'Muslims' were behind all these atrocities, Islam teaches us to understand the root of the problem. What events happened that led to 9/11? It can't have been events in Iraq since that [rather devastating state of affairs] had existed since Gulf War I [in 1990].
Equally it can't be Israel, since the Arab-Israeli issue has existed since the mid-1930s. And I'm not aware of any other incident.
Additionally this 'kafir' stuff being thrown around is equally confusing. After all were the Allies 'kafirs' when they saved the Saudi-Wahabbis from an [apparently] aggressive Saddam in Gulf War I? And if not, at what point did they suddenly become 'kafir'? And moreover, how do they define 'kafir', and is it the same as the traditional definition?
In the meantime I guess I'll chuckle over this [2], though he could have used some other name instead of 'Achmed' (its actually pronounced 'A-hhh-mudh' and spelt 'Ahmad')
