Idolaters Killed
1. Then I heard Him call out in a loud voice, "Bring the guards of the city here, each with a weapon in his hand." 2. And I saw six men coming from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with a deadly weapon in his hand. With them was a man clothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side. They came in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3. Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the LORD called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side 4. and said to him, "Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it."
5. As I listened, He said to the others, "Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. 6. Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were in front of the temple.
7. Then He said to them, "Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go!" So they went out and began killing throughout the city. 8. While they were killing and I was left alone, I fell facedown, crying out, "Ah, Sovereign LORD! Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?"
9. He answered me, "The sin of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great; the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of injustice. They say, 'The LORD has forsaken the land; the LORD does not see.' 10. So I will not look on them with pity or spare them, but I will bring down on their own heads what they have done."
11. Then the man in linen with the writing kit at his side brought back word, saying, "I have done as you commanded."
I have not left any Verse from Chapter 9 of the Book of Ezekiel, so as not to hear I've misquoted or partially quoted. It's from the NIV, the other older versions are even harsher. Next time someone hears those scumbags Nick Griffin (Chairman of BNP in UK), Robert Spencer (author of numerous so-called exposition of Islamic terrorism books) and other scumbags like them talk about taking out the Quraan, while they think they can portray Judaism and Christianity as peace-loving, tolerable religions, tell them to swallow these Verses (and MANY like them) with a gulp first. Heck, these Islamophobes are no better than the disgusting terrorist Osama bin Laden.
I tell you what: the Islamophobic Jews and Christians are sheer hypocrites. No exaggeration there. You keep defying what 'your Lord' says in the Bible you hold onto, and think you can attack Islam with your petty talks. Your version of god would probably have come and wrestled you on the earth, if that version was true. In fact, look at what "your Lord" says in the Chapter quoted. For all the bloodshed, injustice and idolatry that you hold onto, "your Lord" would probably have asked someone bloodthirsty like Osama bin Laden (OBL) to wipe you out. OBL should hide behind the Hebrew Bible when he kills the innocents, not the Quran or Islam; because it's the Bible that authorizes indiscriminate killing. (For just one refutation out of the tens of refutations of filthy terrorism that the likes of OBL promote, read this.)
The man in linen did as his Lord commanded: which is killing them all, showing no mercy. So you as a God-loving Jew or a Christian, would you not do the same as that man in linen?
Filth and hypocrisy is all these Islamophobes can offer. God willing, just as many others have exposed these hypocrites, I'd produce more detailed posts addressing them and their "proofs" later.
A beneficial blog from one of our brothers should be checked by those who question their souls. The brother is a Chicano who left Christianity for Islam.
I'm not an Islamophobe Jew or a Christian, but this part of your post got to me.
ReplyDelete"OBL should hide behind the Hebrew Bible when he kills the innocents, not the Quran or Islam;"
Can you clarify something for me? To me it seemed like you were/are doubting his faith in Islam. I know that he in no way represents Islam but he is a Muslim as far as we know. Your post made me think of the hadith where Usamah bin Zaid killed a man after he had professed la ilaha illallah and the prophet peace be upon him asked him about what he did. Bin Zaid said he professed it only to save his life but the prophet peace be upon him repeated "Did you kill him after he had professed ' la ilaha illallah ' he went on repeating this until I(Zaid) wished I had not embraced Islam before that day (so that I would have not committed this sin) and in one narration the prophet asked Zaid " Why did you not cut his heart open to find out whether he had done so sincerely or not". You can read the whole hadith in Riyaad-Us-saliheen hadith 393. My point it you don't know his intentions or whats in his heart so its not our place to judge how sincere of a Muslim he is. If I misinterpreted you I'm sorry and you can delete this comment.
Ah sure. No, I didn't mean he is not a Muslim. That would have been evil suspicion and extremism from my part. I don't judge his sincerity or lack-of either. In fact, history tells us that even the person called Abdur Rahman Ibn Muljam who killed 'Alee radiyAllahu 'anhu was not declared a non-Muslim because of his actions.
ReplyDeleteWhen I said: "OBL should hide behind the Hebrew Bible when he kills the innocents, not the Quran or Islam", I mean instead of justifying his actions and statements by misquoting from the Quran or trying to encourage more Muslims to follow his path of destruction, it is better for the likes of him to relate his actions to the Hebrew Bible. This is because his actions are in accordance to the type of statements in the Hebrew Bible as quoted in the post, and not from Quran or Islam. Islam is free of what he endorses just as the wolf was free from Prophet Yusuf's blood when his brothers accused the wolf to have killed Prophet Yusuf. And by this I am not doubting 'his faith' but I am clarifying his actions and statements are contrary to the teachings of Islam. Na'am.
Hope this clears out the statement. Thanks for asking clarification: indeed we should not expel any Muslim from Islam without clear proofs and conditions being applied.
He may be ignorant or mislead by someone. He may be a better Muslim than us, no?
ReplyDeleteAssalamu Alaykum
I'm not a takfiri so extra info is not necessary, jazzakAllahu Khayr.
wa alaikumus salam wa iyyak. Yes, he may be better Muslim than us based on his hidden actions, Allah knows best. The statements towards him are based on his actions, his justifications and their effects on humanity as a whole; they are not to judge his final abode in the hereafter. If he were captured, the Muslim judge would ideally decapitate him for his statements and actions. He is an enemey to humanity and a mischief maker/promoter on earth.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. How should our attitude be toward enemies of humanity and the enemies of Allah (not asking about the neutral disbelievers but enemies)?
ReplyDeleteThoughtful posting. There is much to learn here. May Allah reward you. Please check that forum for some help.
May Allah bless you. All enemies of humanity are enemies of Allah. As Allah says in the Quran (interpreted):
ReplyDeleteAnd when it is said to them (hypocrites): "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peacemakers."
Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not.
(Surah al-Baqarah 2:11-12)
Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship? (Surah Muhammad 47:22)
Hence we see that causing corruption is from the characteristics of hypocrites and Allah's Curse is upon such people.
Those who do are enemies of Allah and should be dealt with as per what one can do and what is beneficial for the entire society. If fighting against them can be done (with a leader and adequate preparation) then that is how they are to be opposed. If not, then to speak (or write, type, etc.) against their corruption, and if not then at least hate such enemies from the heart and that is the weakest of faith.
You can see some of my posts where I have openly posted against such disbelieving enemies:

The key is to speak a just word and in the right place and time, to the right audience. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be on him, showed us how he and his Companions reacted to the enemies of Allah while they were weak, despite how the enemies oppressed the best of the Salaf.
May Allah reward you brother. Keep it up.
