The Koran and the Sunnah, a Way to an Understanding of Islam

The Koran; Allahs own words; unchanged, universal, eternal and final, given to the last prophet, Mohammed, by a series of revelations. The Sunna; The life of the prophet, what he said (hadith) and what he did (sira), inspired by Allah and a pattern for each and every muslim to follow;" Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar for him who hopes in Allah and the latter day and remembers Allah much." (Khoran 33:21). These are the scriptures that sharia, the Islamic Holy Law is based on.

Islam impossible to revise without a denial of God

Since the verses (suras) of Allah is both eternal, universal and final it´s almost impossible to revise (modernise) the religion of Islam."...; and there is none to change the words of Allah,..." (Khoran 6:34), " And the word of your Lord has been accomplished truly and justly; there is none who can change His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing." (Khoran 6:115), "They shall have good news in this world's life and in the hereafter; there is no changing the words of Allah; that is the mighty achievement" (Khoran 10:64)

The concept of "Bida" forbids innovation in religion

"Beware of matters newly begun, for every matter newly begun is innovation, every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in hell." ( ) , " ... the only form of innovation that is without exception misguidance is that concerning tenets of faith, like the innovations of the Mutazilites, Qadarites, Murjiites, and so on, that contradicted the beliefs of the early Muslims. This is the innovation of misguidance because it is harmful and devoid of benefit." (The Concept of Bid'a in the Islamic Shari'a, Nuh Ha Mim Keller, 1995) ( http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/nuh/bida.htm )

And they who try to revise or modernise islam then?

Religion for muslims is din - law

"...for Muslims this word, "religion" does not have the same connotation as the word "religion" has for Christians or even had for medieval Christians. "Religion" for Muslims means both more and less than the equivalent term for Christians. The different words used to designate them are indicative. The word "religion" now common to virtually all the languages of European Christendom, both eastern and western, derives from the Latin religio. This pre-Christian term for the cult and rituals of pagan Rome was first Christianizes by Saint Jerome in his Latin translation of the Bible. The Islamic term din, originally Arabic but adopted in all the many languages of Islam. The cognate word in other Semitic languages , notably Hebrew and Aramaic, means law. For Muslims, Islam is not a merely a system of belief and worship, a compartment of life, so to speak, distinct from other compartments which are the concern of nonreligious authorities administring nonreligious laws. It is rather the whole of life, and it´s rules include civil, criminal, and even what we would call constitutional law."
(Bernard Lewis, Islam and the West. Oxford University Press. 1994. s.3)

The content of the holy scriptures of Islam

"A huge problem with reformation is the amount of political doctrine. Aboust two thirds of the Koran of Mecca deals with condemning unbelievers to Hell for merely disagreeing with Mohammed. Over half of the Koran of Medina deals with hypocrates and jihad against the unbelievers. Nearly 75% of the Sira deals with jihad. About 20% of the hadith by Bukhari is about jihad. Politics is the majority of the doctrine and it is all violent." (Mohammed, Allah and the Jews. The Foundational Doctrine. Center For the Study of Political Islam, CSPI Publishing, 2006, s.246)

The Harbi

The London-based Arabic language daily Asharq Al-Awsat interviewed Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi on July 19, 2003, where he said: "It has been determined by Islamic law that the blood and property of people of Dar Al-Harb [the Domain of Disbelief where the battle for the domination of Islam should be waged] is not protected.", Also, in an interview conducted in July 2003 by the Egyptian newspaper Al-Haqiqa, Dr. Sheikh Ali Gomaa said:"...it is permitted to kill him, because he is a Harbi and the Harbi spreads corruption throughout the face of the earth.",

Umma versus the infidels

Islam is apartheid, due to gender and due to religious affinity. It not just separates and excludes, it also values a man due to his religion. The logic is simpel, a muslim is always worth more than a non-muslim and it is because the muslim is pleasing Allah, whence the non-muslim not pleases him, when he´s a denyer of Allah and the prophet Muhammed. "They are one community (umma) to the exclusion of all man" , "A believer shall no slay a believer for the sake of an unbeliever, nor shall he aid an unbeliever against a believer... Believers are friends one to the other to the exclusion of outsiders...." (Ibn IShaq; The Life of Muhammad/Sirat Rasul Allah, Oxford University Press, 2006, s.232)

Islam and the secular state

"Secularism may be accepted in a Christian society but it can never enjoy a general acceptance in an Islamic society. The New Testament itself divides life into two parts: one for God, or religion, the other for Caesar, or the state: "Render unto Caesar things which belong to Caesar, and render unto God things which belong to God" (Matthew 22:21). As such, a Christian could accept secularism without any qualms of conscience." och "For Muslim societies, the acceptance of secularism means something totally different. Since Islam is a comprehensive system of `Ibadah (worship) and Shari`ah (legislation), the acceptance of secularism means abandonment of Shari`ah, a denial of the Divine guidance and a rejection of Allah´sinjunctions." (http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503545396 )

Islamic Conference; The Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam

Ulema´s View on Western Human Rights Organizations ?

".. they also play other roles, and support other principles which are aimed at destroying the family, and opening the door to slander against Islam and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and all his fellow-Prophets. They are opposed to the rule of sharee´ah which enjoins hadd punishments such as stoning for the adulterer, execution for the apostate and cutting off the hand for the thief, becoming part of legislation and being implemented ...", "To sum up what these organizations promote: it is that man should be able to do whatever he wants, no matter how perverse. They support lesbians, homosexuals and bisexuals, and religious deviance. They regard it as a human right to disbelieve in whatever religions one wants and to express one´s opinion (even about the Prophets) without any fear or shame, and they also support the liberation of woman from the control of her father, husband or religion." ( http://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=97827&ln=eng )

The Peaceful Revolutionaries-Islamization by Penetrating the System

"While they do not officially advocate the use of violence in the West (although they do so in Iraq and the Palestinian territories), it can be argued that these revivalist groups pose a challenge more insidious than that of other Islamists who openly challenge Western governments and values. Thanks to their public words of moderation, they often manage to establish preferential relationships with European elites. In some cases, they are even seen as partners in European governments' fight against radicalization. The legitimization and power they acquire through these government endorsements allow them to augment their status within the Muslim community and, hence, their ability to radicalize it". (by Lorenzo Vidino,"The Tripartite Threat of Radical Islam to Europe", winter 2007 • volume I: number 3. The Jewish Policy Center).

Islamist reformism - creeping sharia

"Once the community is well organised, its leaders should strive to seek recognition of Muslims as a religious community having its own characteristics by the authorities. Once recognised, the community should continue to request the same rights the other religious communities enjoy in the country. Eventually the community may seek to gain political rights as a constituent community of the nation. Once these rights are obtained then the community should seek to generalise its characteristics to the entire nation." ett yttrande från ett seminarium organiserat av Islamic Council of Europe i London 1978 (M.Ali.Kettani. Problems of Muslim Minorities and Their Solutions" in Muslim Communities in Non-Muslim States. (London, Islamic Council of Europe, 1980, s. 96-105; from Barnabas Fund 11 August 2005))

An Excerpt from a document containing the Muslim Brotherhoods strategy for North America

4- Understanding the role of the Muslim Brother in North America:

"The process of settlement is a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand thar their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from whithin and "sabotaging" is miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God´s religion is made victorius over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslims duty to perform Jihad and work wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be equal."

What the Khoran has to say about the unbelievers (non-muslims)

"De skulle önska, att ni bleven otrogna liksom de själva och sålunden vorden dem lika. Skaffen eder ej några beskyddare ibland dem, förrän de utvandra för Guds sak! Om de vänder eder ryggen, så gripen dem och döden dem, varhelst I finnen dem, och skaffen eder ej någon beskyddare och hjälpare ibland dem." (sura 4:91)

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement," (sura 5:33)

"He it is Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse." (sura 9:33)

"He it is Who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the true religion that He may make it prevail over all the religions; and Allah is enough for a witness." , "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those with him are firm of heart against the unbelievers, compassionate among themselves; ..." (sura 48:28-29)

"O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people; they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand." (sura 3:118)

"O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friends rather than the believers; do you desire that you should give to Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?" (sura 4:143)

"So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (sura 9:5)

"So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates..." (sura 47:4)

"Therefore if you overtake them in fighting, then scatter by (making an example of) them those who are in their rear, that they may be mindful." (sura 8:59)

"O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination." (sura 9:74)

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection." (sura 9:29)

"And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers." (sura 2:191)

"And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors." (sura 2:193)

“We smote them and they scattered. The impious met death. They became fuel for Hell. All who aren’t Muslims must go there. It will consume them while the Stoker [Allah] increases the heat. They had called Allah’s Apostle a liar. They claimed, ‘You are nothing but a sorcerer.’ So Allah destroyed them.” (Ishaq:344).

What the Khoran and the sunna has to say about the jews

"Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews". (Sahih Muslim, Book 41, Hadith 6985:)

"Kill any Jews that fall into your power" said the Prophet: (Ibn Ishaq; s.369)

"And certainly you have known those among you who exceeded the limits of the Sabbath, so We said to them: Be (as) apes, despised and hated." (sura 2:65)

För all denna orättfärdighet hos dem, som äro judar, hava vi förbjudit dem goda ting, som varit dem tillåtna, och detta särskilt därför, att de utestänga så många från Guds väg. Och bedriva ocker, ehuru det förbjudits dem, och förtära andra människors ägodelar i fåfänglighet; ja, de otrogna bland dem hava vi berett ett plågsamt straff. (sura 4:158-159)

"O you who believe! do not take for guardians those who take your religion for a mockery and a joke, from among those who were given the Book before you and the unbelievers; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah if you are believers." (sura 5:57)

"And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!" (sura 9:30)

"Therefore when they revoltingly persisted in what they had been forbidden, We said to them: Be (as) apes, despised and hated." ( sura 7:166)

"And We had made known to the children of Israel in the Book: Most certainly you will make mischief in the land twice, and most certainly you will behave insolently with great insolence." (sura 17:4)

The real reason why so many muslims hate jews- their denial of Muhammeds prophethood

"The physical elimination of the Medina Jews was accompanied by Islam´s growing break with its jewish origins... they became his staunchest critics, highlighting the gaps and inconsticensies of the Qur´an and its misrepresentation of the Old Testament stories. The embittered Muhammad began to cast the Jews in his revelations as devious and treacherous people, who had persecuted past prophets and falsified the Holy scriptures." (Efraim Karsh. Islamic Imperialism a History. Yale University Press. 2007, s.15

What the Khoran and the sunna has to say about jihad

"When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them." (sura 8:12)

"Allah's Apostle was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause." The questioner again asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He replied, "To perform Hajj (Pilgrim age to Mecca) 'Mubrur, (which is accepted by Allah and is performed with the intention of seeking Allah's pleasure only and not to show off and without committing a sin and in accordance with the traditions of the Prophet)." (Sahih al-Bukhari vol. 1, Book 2, Number 25).

"Fighting is enjoined on you, and it is an object of dislike to you; and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know." (sura 2:216)

"O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil)." (sura 9:124)

"You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given you a clear authority." (sura 4.91)

"The holders back from among the believers, not having any injury, and those who strive hard in Allah's way with their property and their persons are not equal; Allah has made the strivers with their property and their persons to excel the holders back a (high) degree, and to each (class) Allah has promised good; and Allah shall grant to the strivers above the holders back a mighty reward:" (sura 4.95)

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection." (sura 9:29)

"He it is Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse." (sura 9:33)

"Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah's ordinance since the day when He created the heavens and the earth, of these four being sacred; that is the right reckoning; therefore be not unjust to yourselves regarding them, and fight the polytheists all together as they fight you all together; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil)." (sura 9:36)

" If you do not go forth, He will chastise you with a painful chastisement and bring in your place a people other than you, and you will do Him no harm; and Allah has power over all things." (sura 9:39)

"Allah's Apostle was asked, 'What is the best deed?' He replied, 'To believe in Allah and His Apostle' (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, 'What is the next (in goodness)?' He replied, 'To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause'..." (Sahih Bukhari 2:25).

"Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."(Sahih Bukhari 2:24)

"Allah's Apostle said, 'I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." (Sahih Bukhari 8:387)

"I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Mohammed is the messenger of Allah..." (Sahih Muslim 1:33)

"When you meet your enemies who are polytheists [Christians...], invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them ... If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them" (Sahih Muslim 19:4294)

“Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion." (Ishaq 327)

"Then the apostle sent Khalid bin Walid… to the Banu al-Harith and ordered him to invite them to Islam three days before he attacked them. If they accepted then he was to accept it from them, and if they declined he was to fight them. So Khalid set out and came to them, and sent out riders in all directions inviting the people to Islam, saying, “If you accept Islam you will be safe.” So the men accepted Islam as they were invited." (ibn Ishaq 959)

The four islamic shools of jurisprudence and their view of jihad

"Jihad is a precept of Divine institution. Its performance by cetain individuals may dispense others from it. We Malikis maintain that it is prefeable not to begin hostilities with the enemy before having invited the latter to embrace the religion of Allah excepts where the enemy attacks first. They have the alternative of either converting to Islam or paying the poll tax (Jizyia), short of which war will be declared against them" (Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani, Maliki jurist).

"Sincelawful warfare is essentially jihad and since its aim is that the religion is Gods´s entirely and God´s word is uppermost, therefore according to all Muslims, those who stand in the way of this aim must be fought. As for those who cannot offer resistance or cannot fight, such as women, children, monks, old people, the blind, handicapped and their likes, they shall not be killed unless they actually fight with words and acts" (Ibn Taymiyyah, Hanbali jurist)

"It is not lawful to make war upon any peolple who have never before been called to the faith, without previously requiring them to embrace it, because the Prophet so instructed his commanders, directing them to call the infidels to the faith, and also because the people will hence perceive that they are attacked for the sake of religion, and not for the sake of their property, or making slaves of their children, and on this consideration it is possible that they may be induced to agree to the call, in order to save themselves from the troubles of war.... If the infidels, upon receiving the call, neither consent to it nor agree to pay capitation tax, it is then incumbent on the Muslims to call upon God for assistence, and to make war upon them, because God is the assistant of those who serve Him, and the destroyer of His enemies, the infidels, and it is necessary to implore His aid upon every occasion; the Prophet, moreover, commands us to do". (From primarily the Hanafi school, as given in the Hidayah of Shaikh Burhannudin Ali of Marghinan).

"The mushrikun (infidels) of Dar al-Harb are of two types: First those whom the call of Islam had reached, but they have refused it and have taken up arms. The amir of the army has the option of fighting them ... in accordance with what he judges to be in the best interest of the Muslims and most harmful to the mushrikun ... Second, those whom the invitation to Islam has not reached, although such persons are few nowadays since Allah had made manifest the call of his Messanger ... it is forbidden to ... begin an attack before explaining the invitation to Islam to them, informing them of the miracles of the Prophet and making plain the proofess as to encourage acceptance on their part; if they still refuse to accept after this, war is waged against them and they are treated as those whom the call has reached." (Al-Mawardi, Shafi´i jurist).

(The Legacy of Jihad. Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims. Ed. by Andrew g: Bostom.Prometheus Books. 2005 s.27, 28)

"Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those are witless".

The objectives of jihad

"The Caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians (N:provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizia, def:o11.4)-which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself while remaining in their ancestral religions) (O: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax (O:in accordance with the word of Allah Most High,"(se sura 9:29)" (Reliance of the Traveller. A Classic Manual of Islami Sacred Law. Amana Publications 1994. s.602).

Jihad - a war that never ends

"o9.9 The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim..." , 09:16 (O. As for truces, the author does not mention them. In Sacred Law truce means a peace treaty with those hostile to Islam, involving a cessation of figthing for a specified period, wheter for payment or something else..."... There must be some interest served in making a truce other than mere preservation of the status quo. Allah Most High says". , "So dont be faintharted and call for peace, when it is you who are the uppermost (Koran 47:359)". (Reliance of the Traveller. A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law. Amana Publications. 1994. s.603ff).

The "moderate" Yusuf al-Qaradawi on jihad

"The meaning of Jihad in our present time particularly refers to striving to liberate Muslim lands from the grip of the disbelievers who usurped them and imposed on them their own laws in lieu of the Divine Law. Those disbelievers may be Jews, Christians or both or even pagans, who follow no particular religion at all. Disbelievers are all alike." , "Retrieving these lands, freeing them from the clutches of atheists and their twisted laws is the joint responsibility of all Muslims. Declaring Jihad to save our land is an Islamic obligation." , "If war is waged anywhere to achieve this goal, namely to free the occupied lands of the laws and the tyranny of disbelievers, it is undoubtedly a case of Jihad for the sake of Allah". (http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503543548 ) .

" ... the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology."

"When I was still a member of what is probably best termed the British Jihadi Network, a series of semi-autonomous British Muslim terrorist groups linked by a single ideology, I remember how we used to laugh in celebration whenever people on TV proclaimed that the sole cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombings and 7/7 was Western foreign policy. By blaming the government for our actions, those who pushed the 'Blair's bombs' line did our propaganda work for us. More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology." citat ex-jihadist Hassan Butt ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/jul/01/comment.religion1 )

Ex-jihadist spells it out

Jihad is of various kind

"Jihad is of various kinds, with one´s self, one's wealth, by making du`a´, by teaching and guiding, by helping to do good in any way. The greatest form of jihad is jihad with one´s self (i.e., going oneself and fighting), followed by jihad with one's wealth, jihad by speaking out and guiding others. Da`wah is also part of jihad. But going out oneself to fight in jihad is the highest form." (Fatawa ash-Sheikh Ibn Baz,7/334,335) , " ... All Muslims are enjoined to support their brothers with their selves (i.e., physically, by joining them), or with money, weapons, da`wah and advice."( http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?cid=1119503546772&pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar%2FFatwaE%2FFatwaEAskTheScholar )

Even the alms (zakat, one of islams five pillars) can be used as a mean to finance little jihad

" ... it is undoubtedly a case of Jihad for the sake of Allah. It thus needs to be financed from the money of Zakah, the amount of which is to be decided based on the total sum of the charity, the requirements of Jihad as well as the degree of the need of other potential recipients of charity. This is all to be decided by reliable scholars, if they are to be found" (http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?cid=1119503543548&pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar%2FFatwaE%2FFatwaEAskTheScholar )

"Allah will give Islam victory over Europe — without swords, without cannons, without conquest"

“We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. They are a sign that Allah will give Islam victory over Europe — without swords, without cannons, without conquest. The 50 million Muslims in Europe will turn Europe Muslim within a few decades.Allah is mobilizing Muslim Turkey to adds that to the European Union. That is an addition of 50 million more Muslims. Then there will be 100 million Muslims in Europe. Albania, which is a Muslim country is already in the EU. Bosnia which is a Muslim country is already in the EU. 50% of the population in those countries are Muslim.” citat Muhammar Khadaffi (Al Jazeera television, April 10 2006).

Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitos

We have borne their imposed degradation, ther lies, and absurdities, which are beyond human power to bear." citat Maimonides (Robert Spencer. Religion of Peace? Why Christianty Is and Islam Isn´t.

The Golden age of Islam

"No…Jew or Christian may be allowed to wear the dress of an aristocrat, nor of a jurist, nor of a wealthy individual; on the contrary they must be detested and avoided. It is forbidden to [greet] them with the [expression], ‘Peace be upon you’. In effect, ‘Satan has gained possession of them, and caused them to forget God’s warning. They are the confederates of Satan’s party; Satan’s confederates will surely be the losers!’ (Qur’an 58:19 [modern Dawood translation]). A distinctive sign must be imposed upon them in order that they may be recognized and this will be for them a form of disgrace.", "A Muslim must not act as masseuer to a Jew or Christian; he must not clear the rubbish nor clean the latrines.

Islamic science developed for a while despite islam

"Science and philosophy flourished on Musalman soil during the first half of the middle ages; but it was not by reason of Islam, it was in spite of Islam. Not a Musalman philosopher or scholar escaped persecution." , "To give Islam the credit of Averroes and so many other illustrius thinkers, who passed half their lifes in prison, in forced hiding, in disgrace, whose books were burned and whose writings almost supressed by theological authority, is if one were to ascribe the Inqvisition the discoveries of Galileo, and a whole scientific development it was not able to prevent" citat Ernest Renan (Ibn Warrack, Why i am not a Muslim. s.274. Promotheus books. 2003)

Will we see a whole sale smashing of greek and roman statues

Will we se a whole-sale smashing of pagan statues and a destruction of our cultural heritage. What will the ulema say, Well this is how they reasoned about the buddhas in Bamyan in Afghanistan. "I issued the order to destroy all statues in Afghanistan including the country's rich pre-Islamic statues in line with Islamic beliefs. According to Islam, I don't worry about anything. My job is the implementation of Islamic order. The breaking of statues is an Islamic order and I have given this decision in the light of a fatwa of the ulema (clerics) and the supreme court of Afghanistan. Islamic law is the only law acceptable to me. Only Allah – the Almighty deserves to be worshipped not anyone or anything else. " ( http://www.himalayanmart.com/taliban_destory_buddha_statues.php )

What the sunnah says about apostates

"Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims." (Sahih Bukhari 9:17)

"Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'" (Sahih Bukhari 9:57)

"... .There was a fettered man beside Abu Muisa. Mu'adh asked, "Who is this (man)?" Abu Muisa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Muisa requested Mu'adh to sit down but Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases) and repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed..." (Sahih Bukhari 9:58)

"Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is I was about to order for collecting fire-wood (fuel) and then order Someone to pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and then order someone to lead the prayer then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not present themselves for the (compulsory congregational) prayer. ...'" (Sahih Bukhari 11:617)

"Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' " (Sahih Bukhari 52:260)

"'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: It is not permissible to take the life of a Muslim who bears testimony (to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah, but in one of the three cases: the married adulterer, a life for life, and the deserter of his Din (Islam), abandoning the community." (Sahih Muslim 16:4152)

“Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us.” (Tabari IX:69)

he will be killed as a kaafir and apostate

Praise be to Allaah. "The punishment for apostasy (riddah) is well-known in Islaamic Sharee´ah. The one who leaves Islaam will be asked to repent by the Sharee´ah judge in an Islaamic country; if he does not repent and come back to the true religion, he will be killed as a kaafir and apostate, because of the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "Whoever changes his religion, kill him." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 3017). The person who knows the truth and believes in it, then turns his back on it, does not deserve to live. The punishment for apostasy is prescribed for the protection of the religion and as a deterrent to anyone who is thinking of leaving Islaam. There is no doubt that such a serious crime must be met with an equally weighty punishment." Islam Q&A Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid ( http://islamqa.com/index.php? )

What the koran and the sunnah has to say about the women

"And do not marry the idolatresses until they believe, and certainly a believing maid is better than an idolatress woman, even though she should please you; and do not give (believing women) in marriage to idolaters until they believe, and certainly a believing servant is better than an idolater, even though he should please you; these invite to the fire, and Allah invites to the garden and to forgiveness by His will, and makes clear His communications to men, that they may be mindful." (sura 2:221)

"Your wives are a tilth for you, so go into your tilth when you like, and do good beforehand for yourselves, and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, and know that you will meet Him, and give good news to the believers." (sura 2:223)

"And the divorced women should keep themselves in waiting for three courses; and it is not lawful for them that they should conceal what Allah has created in their wombs, if they believe in Allah and the last day; and their husbands have a better right to take them back in the meanwhile if they wish for reconciliation; and they have rights similar to those against them in a just manner, and the men are a degree above them, and Allah is Mighty, Wise." (sura 2:228)

"... and call in to witness from among your men two witnesses; but if there are not two men, then one man and two women from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may remind the other; and the witnesses should not refuse when they are summoned;..." (sura 2:282)

"And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans, then marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four; but if you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may not deviate from the right course." (sura 4:3)

"Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females;..." (sura 4:11)

"Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great." (sura 4:34)

"O Prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments; this will be more proper, that they may be known, and thus they will not be given trouble; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (sura 33:59)

"Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?". He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you..." (Sahih Bukhari 6:301)

"The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people)." I said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him." (Sahih Bukhari 9:490)

"The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He said, "This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind." (Sahih Bukhari 48:826).

"... When Allah's Apostle was informed that the Persians had crowned the daughter of Khosrau as their ruler, he said, "Such people as ruled by a lady will never be successful." (Sahih Bukhari 59:709)

"Allah's Apostle said, "If at all there is bad omen, it is in the horse, the woman, and the house." (Sahih Bukhari 62:32)

"The Prophet said, "After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women." (Sahih Bukhari 62:33)

"Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, when a man calls his wife to his bed, and she does not respond, the One Who is in the heaven is displeased with her until he (her husband) is pleased with her." (Sahih Muslim 8:3367)

"Men were to lay injunctions on women lightly, for they were prisoners of men and had no control over their persons." (Ishaq 969)

"A man from the Ansar called Basrah said: I married a virgin woman in her veil. When I entered upon her, I found her pregnant. (I mentioned this to the Prophet). The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: She will get the dower, for you made her vagina lawful for you. The child will be your slave. When she has begotten (a child), flog her (according to the version of al-Hasan). The version of Ibn AbusSari has: You people, flog her, or said: inflict hard punishment on him." (Sunaan Abu Dawud 11:2126)

"The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If one of you marries a woman or buys a slave, he should say: "O Allah, I ask Thee for the good in her, and in the disposition Thou hast given her; I take refuge in Thee from the evil in her, and in the disposition Thou hast given her." When he buys a camel, he should take hold of the top of its hump and say the same kind of thing." (Sunaan Abu Dawud 11:2155)

"The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife." (Sunaan Abu Dawud 11:2142)

Umdat al-Malik (sharialag)

"Duties of a wife m5.1 (Ref: 8, p525)It is obligatory for a woman to let her husband have sex with her immediately when(a) he asks her;(b) at home (O: home meaning the place in which he is currently staying, even if being lent to him or rented);(c) and she can physically endure it.

The value of the woman according to her status in court

"Allaah has commanded the testimony of two women so as to be sure that they remember, because the mind and memory of two women takes the place of the mind and memory of one man. (See I´laam al-Muwaqqa´een, part 1, p. 75)". ( http://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=20051&ln=eng ). Endast kvinnor i vittnesbåset räcker dock inte till hur många de än är, det krävs alltid minst ett manligt vittne när det gäller sådant som har med den manliga verksamhetssfären att göra. Kvinnliga vittnesmål gills inte heller vid giftemål, skilsmässa och hudud (brott som kan resultera i kroppsliga bestraffningar). (Ibn Warrack, Why i am not a Muslim. Promotheus Books. 2003, s.310).

al Bud

"The guardian does not have the right to invite people to steal something which does not belong to him. Similarly the girl who is only simply the guardian of her honour (her bud). does not have the right to make use of it (her sexual organ) nor can she invite anyone to violate it. For it is not simply a case of her own honour but also the case of her parent´s honour, the honour of her family, of society and all humanity." citat Mohammad Qotb i (Ibn Warrack, Why I Am Not a Muslim", Promotheus Books, 2003, s.304)

No boy- or girlfriend before marriage

"... it is not allowed in Islam to take a non-mahram person or persons of the opposite gender as a very close friend. Such friendship often leads to haram. In the Qur’an, Allah mentioned that good men and women are those who marry, do not have fornicating relationships and do not have "paramours" or Akhdan see An-Nisaa’: 25, Al-Ma'idah: 5). "So it is not allowed for a Muslim boy to have a girlfriend or for a Muslim girl to have a boyfriend. Howsoever pure your intentions may be, the danger is that it will lead you to sin." (http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?cid=1119503545452&pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar%2FFatwaE%2FFatwaEAskTheScholar)

Why muslim women shall not marry non-muslim men

"First of all, it is not an honor or a privilege to marry a non-Muslim. It is a burden and a big responsibility. It is better to abstain from such marriages...", "A Muslim woman should know that Allah has really honored her and made it easy for her by not allowing her to marry a non-Muslim man". "According to the Qur'an, the husband is the head of the household and his wife should obey him. Allah does not put the Muslim woman in a position that a non-Muslim becomes her head in her own private life. Allah has spared her to suffer from being under the authority of a non-Muslim husband." Mufti Muzammil H. Siddiqi (http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?cid=1119503543072&pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar%2FFatwaE%2FFatwaEAskTheScholar )

Obediance

"... , the husband is in charge of his wife, and she has to obey him and not go out without his permission, otherwise the stability of the family will be destroyed. The family should have just one leader to steer its course, and that leader is the one who spends on the family and protects it. The husband is physically stronger and is more wise than the wife. We can easily understand if he disciplines his wife when she does something wrong, but we cannot imagine the wife hitting the husband if he is at fault...." ( http://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=2083&ln=eng )

Och för er som inte har råd med flera hustrur så finns ju Mutá och Misyar

"The Arabic dictionaries define mut'a as 'enjoyment, pleasure, delight'. The root form, m-t: signifies, 'to carry away, to take away'. A 'marriage of mut'a' is a marriage which the contract stipulates will last for a fixed period of time. This 'marriage of mut'a' is referred to both in the hadith literature and, in much more detail, in the books on jurisprudence (fiqh)...." , " Mut'a is considered a kind of 'rental' because in general a man's basic aim in this kind of marriage is the sexual enjoyment of a woman, and in return for his enjoyment the woman receives a certain amount of money or property..." ( http://www.al-islam.org/al-serat/muta/3.htm )

Hijab not just a modate way to dress

Ytterst handlar hijabbegreppet om att avskärma kvinnan från all kontakt med icketillåtna män. Helst skall hon inte lämna hemmet utan att eskorteras av en tillåten man (mahram). Givetvis bör hon inte förvärvsarbeta om kontakt med icketillåtna män inte kan undvikas. "According to both the Hanafi and Shafi'i Schools, the husband may prohibit his wife from leaving the house..." ( http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=11&ID=8638&CATE=121 ) och "... he has the right to prohibit her from any work that will lead her to a shortcoming in fulfilling his rights, is harmful to him, or requires that she leave the house...." ( view.asp?HD=1&ID=2302&CATE=121 )

And don´t be too jolly

"The whole issue of singing is controversial, whether it is with musical accompaniment or not." , "There are some conditions and terms that should be observed regarding listening to singing, as follows: 1. Not all sorts of singing are permissible. Rather, the permissible song should comply with the Islamic teachings and ethics. ... 2. Also, the way the song is performed weighs so much..." 3. Singing should not be accompanied with something that is prohibited such as alcohol, nakedness, mixing of men with women that is common in pubs and nightclubs, etc. 4. Islam has declared excessiveness as prohibited in everything. The same goes for excessiveness in leisure and recreation even though these things are permissible! ..." ( http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503544202 )

Allah did not create man so that he could have fun.

Sharia - gudagiven evig och allomfattande

"For the Muslim, law is an essential, indeed a central, part of his religion, which would be inconceivable without it. The law in all its details is divine not human, revealed not enacted, and therefore it cannot be repealed or abrogated, supplemented or amended.", "For them, its authority is absolute and applies to every aspect of human life and activity. In theory, therefore, there is no legislative power in human society, since the making of laws is for God alone" (Bernard Lewis, Islam and the West. Oxford University Press. 1993. s.43f)

Do not practice aldultery or fornication or even get close to it

" However, what is not so well known is that while declaring fornication and adultery as haram (forbidden), Islam does not merely forbid the actual acts, but it also declares as forbidden each and every circumstance or way that leads to fornication and adultery. Allah says, (Do not come near fornication, for it is indeed lewdness and an evil life-style.) (Al-Isra' 17: 32) ( http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?cid=1119503548036&pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar%2FFatwaE%2FFatwaEAskTheScholar)

The naked eye of sharia

Narrated; Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani "... The slave-girl and the sheep are to be returned to you, your son is to receive a hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. You, Unais, go to the wife of this (man) and if she confesses her guilt, stone her to death." Unais went to that woman next morning and she confessed. Allah's Apostle ordered that she be stoned to death." (Sahih Bukhari, Book 50: Volume 3, Book 50, Number 885:) http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/050.sbt.html#003.050.885

So both are to be punished by execution, as it says in the hadeeth..." , " ... Some of them were of the view that they should be burned with fire, which was the view of Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) and also of Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with him), as we shall see below. And some of them thought that they should be thrown down from a high place then have stones thrown at them. This was the view of Ibn Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him).
