Tolerance in Islam

This is a video I had previously uploaded on my JesusIsAProphet account (now closed) and I just thought it was worth re-uploading. As Muslims, we are supposed to behave with tolerance of others, and patience in our debates. Please use caution in your choice of words to others, even those who have not embraced Islam - you never know which person may hate Islam and then later embrace it - even Umar RA was once on his way to kill the prophet, SAS, when he was given the guidance.

The clip in it is from a lecture, posted by Youtube user zaman27, by Muhammad Al-Shareef covering stories from the Mekkan period of the life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

You can catch the whole video of that lecture here (please do, it is well worth it):

You can also catch a great variety of lectures given by different scholars at the youtube channel:

You are right. When people misbehave, they are not following their religion properly.

Perhaps Islam's problems will be solved when the masses take on the fascists? The ones who preach hatred? Until then....

Btw, have you read that a group of Australians have been arrested for plotting mass murder? I guess they are being brutally oppressed...denied the right to turn Australia into an Islamic state?

A healthy world would demand these retards behave or leave.

@IamScarface Yes, you're right, we do need to take on the fascists... The vast majority of Muslims are not shy to decry these actions as unislamic. That's exactly what I am doing, and millions of others too. Unfortunately, it's hard to stop people from following their own crazy notions. If it were easy, then hundreds of other historical attacks could have been averted.

To summarize; A small group of 5 men, acting independently of any government or religious backing, planned to attack THE ARMY (armed, non-civilians capable of fighting back), in retaliation for the government-backed MASS SLAUGHTER OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CIVILIANS perpetrated by the multiple nation-states.

Oh, Yes, we Muslims are certainly the most insidious evil this world is seeing right now. Open your eyes blind-man. You can't see the forest for the trees.

@IamScarface I have no idea why the Buddhists would hate the Muslims. Your litmus test doesn't reflect much because there are very few Muslims in that region, apart from Kashmir, where the Muslims are also oppressed.

I do know that if a Buddhist "hates" anything, then they are not following their religion properly. There are horrible people all over the world and in every religion. That is a disease of humanity. It bears no reflection on the religion that ANY of them follow.

@ReadSurahsnDuas Have it whichever way you like. There is a school in London where this information is in their schoolbooks. Small children - can you believe it? What a terrible thing to do to small minds.

Raise your view towards the Koranic schools in Pakistan where the small kiddies can already recite half the Koran by the age of 12, I am sure that makes for healthy, happy, well-balanced children.

Thank God I was born outside this tragic part of the world.

Long live the enlightened West!

@IamScarface Muslims are NOT taught that Jews are pigs and Christians are apes. That is false, anti-Islamic propaganda. It is a complete twist of the ayat in the Quran wherein it is stated that SOME Jews (not Christians, and certainly not all Jews) were punished for their persistent transgression by being turned into apes and pigs. Some even argue that the ayat is a metaphor for the punishment that will come in the hellfire. Whatever the meaning, it can NOT be interpreted your way

[IamScarface]

@ReadSurahsnDuas Muslims are also taught that Jews are pigs and Christians are apes.

Maybe it would be helpful for Muslims to publicly denounce those religious texts which promote hatred and killing.

Revealingly, having spent time with Himalayan Buddhists, the most peaceful of people, I can tell you that they ABSOLUTELY HATE Muslims. That should offer you a litmus test of how Islam is perceived by those who live near it.

One can only imagine what Islamists have done to such peaceful people, no?

There is NOWHERE in Islam that suicide attacks are described in any religious, way, shape or form. But if you go to Israel and witness the disgusting oppression of the Palestinians by Israelis, then you might actually understand why it is that the people there are so desperate to resort to such measures. May God free them from their oppressors.

@IamScarface

As for suicide bombing, since that what your comment is really about, it has been proven through social study to be directly linked to political oppression and having nothing to do with whatever religion the people who resort to it happen to be a part of. Have you never heard of the Japanese kamikazes or the Tamil Tigers? Nevermind that the first recorded "suicide" attacks in history was at the hands of the Dutch to the Chinese.

@IamScarface The reality of today's world is far removed from the ideal calls of Islam. Islam is a religion, pure and true. What Muslim people do often has nothing to do with that religion - just as we can't blame Christianity for the atrocious crimes of the Church nor can we blame Judaism for the atrocious crimes of the State of Israel. There are 1.5 Billion Muslims in the world. The point of the video is to point out that the overwhelming majority are practicing their religion in peace.
