MUSLIM V ATHEIST | RESPONSE | #JihadOnIgnorance
"She responded!
Oh My God -- What do I do?"
"Ahh I could be aggressive this time and maybe she won't respond again".
"YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE A VIDEO RESPONSE"
"That's probably not going to work".
"Hmm.
Maybe I could tell people to dislike her video -- but then she's just going to get rid of
her dislike bar".
What do I do....
I'LL JUST RESPOND HOW IT TELLS ME TO RESPOND IN THE QURAN.
"When the ignorant address them, they say words of peace".
Quran 25:63
I'll respond using words of peace.
I knew you'd know the answer.
Look I noticed you were clearly upset that I didn't respond to most of the claims that
were made in your previous video.
Well, you see the same way you quickly dismissed the comments of Kraus defending incest - because
"He's not your Prophet".
I too will dismiss any unreferenced claims about Islam - that have nothing to do with
my Prophet nor Holy Book.
But nevertheless I see that you've learnt from your mistakes and actually tried to pick
a few quotes from the Quran and the Prophet this time -- through the use of "WikiIslam"
- "Your online source on Islam - that anyone can edit".
REAL AUTHENTIC.....
How about we start with this -- the REAL authentic source on Islam - that NO ONE CAN EDIT - nor
has anyone been able to in the past 1400 years.
Now although you haven't got any qualifications in Islamic Scholarship, the Quran, Arabic
nor even in the sciences of Hadith to be fairly commenting on either source, I will be using
this video as a means of basic education not only for yourself but for the vast majority
of people that are actually interested in discovering the truth.
SO Let's begin.
Now - In regards to the marriage of A'isha -- we've already answered this before.
But since I'm now responding to an atheist who doesn't believe in God and therefore has
no objective code of morality -- You are in no position to OBJECTIVELY determine what
is the morally acceptable age of marriage in a 6th Century Arabian desert.
Especially when the only morals you hold are those that are subjective and are constantly
changing over time in accordance with new ideas, opinions and cultures.
So something that is wrong for you today may soon become right for you tomorrow.
E.g.
Consensual incest.
While on the other hand, we do have our own objective moral code - which not only prohibits
incest, but also prohibits the consummation of marriage with any individual who has not
yet reached maturity.
So despite her age, she was mature.
And by the way No, we're not kidding you.
The French Philosopher Montesqieu, who just like yourself was a staunch critic of both
Islam and religion in general.
-- Stated in the Spirit of Laws, which was used in developing the American constitution
- that "in hot climates (such as a 6th Century Arabian desert) women are marriageable at
8, 9 or 10 years of age, while by the age of 20 a woman would be considered old".
So if you do want to comment on the Prophet's marital relations, please learn your history.
Now, In regards to your comments on "The Flying Spaghetti Monster" -- we're Muslims -- and
if you know anything about Islam -- you would know that Muslims believe that there is No
God -- No man God, no animal God, no Idol, No Statue, Not even a Holy Trinity -- Nothing
-- Except the one and only Creator -- who is outside the scope of time, space and matter.
The greatest, unlike anything imaginable and the Absolute Cause of the beginning of this
Universe...
Now since everything else that begins requires a cause -- believing in a cause for our Universe
is not only a rational belief but a natural belief.
While believing that something can come from nothing -- is not only unnatural but requires
a gigantic leap of faith.
You then move on to criticise the Doctrine of Jihad, which we have already addressed
here.
So in case you don't know what Jihad means, let me teach you.
Because it might interest you to know that I'm actually performing Jihad right now...Jihad
against Ignorance.
See the word Jihad when translated from Arabic means "struggle".
Whether it be a struggle against oppression, corruption, injustice, poverty, hunger and
of course ignorance.
See, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said -- that The best Jihad is to say a word of truth before
a tyrant ruler.
SOURCE: (Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith No. 4344)
Oh and by the way we don't say Peace be Upon Him as a desperate attempt to beautify him
- For our words can never beautify him the way he deserves -rather by mentioning his
name our words become beautiful.
For He was a man that would perform jihad both physically and financially, a man who
would never say No, when asked to give in charity -- even if it meant that he would
have no food left over in his house and was to fast the entire day.
And even when he did, he would never let the night fall until he had ensured that there
was no food or wealth in his house left over, except that it was given away in charity.
And by following the DOCTRINE OF JIHAD - MUSLIMS have been labelled as the most charitable
people in the entire UK.
But then again yes as expected jihad is also physically fighting -- Now Although Islam
is a peaceful religion - Islam is not a pacifist religion -- It is religion of realism, that
, recognizes that evil does indeed exist in this Earth.
Whether it be tyrant regimes that drone entire cities, or cruel dictators that besiege towns
under army blockades leaving people starving to death.
So for this reason Islam made Physical force permissible to defeat evil.
However since Islam is a religion of peace, Physical force too comes with strict conditions
and ethics to prevent unnecessary harm, as discussed here.
Now to the doctrine of Martyrdom.
BOM BOM BOMMM You see it sounds so scary, when we don't know what it's talking about
-- so let's find out exactly what it means.
According to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) - he who dies while defending either his property,
his own life, his faith or his own family -- is a martyr.
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
And quite frankly there's nothing wrong with this.
I mean those who have died while defending such causes have always been labelled as heroes
not only in Hollywood but also in real life.
So what difference does it make when they're Muslim.
Oh Wait....
Muslims get Paradise.
Isn't that a good thing?.
Here, let me put it this way.
Both you and I are standing in a country where the citizens are being oppressed.
Both you and I are here because we love to help people.
But what happens when in order to help people, there is a strong possibility that the two
of us are going to die.
Now while many others would favour the safety of their own lives, and choose to run away
- a Muslim would have an incentive to stay -- and actually help others hence making Muslim
more effective in protecting the vulnerable.
The religion of peace.
But what about apostasy?
See if you knew anything about Islam, you would know that Islam is not only a religion
that governs the lives of individuals but also society in general -- which means that
when there IS an Islamically governed society, Islam should have rules in place to protect
its citizens and its borders.
And apostasy as understood by many Islamic thinkers was not to limit freedom of private
and personal conscience decisions but rather to prevent acts of rebellion and treason against
the state.
If you look into the life of Muhammad (pbuh) you would realise that not a single person
was killed for merely changing his/her private religion but only once they have came out
publicly in an act of treason and treachery cooperating with enemies to either harm the
Muslims or Islam were they ever punished.
Hence explaining the link you supplied.
And even before this could even take place, they are afforded a fair trial and hearing
before a court - where in most instances they are afforded the right to repent and be granted
forgiveness.
You see Islam was practicing the rules of natural justice and open hearing, along with
leniency -- before such legal codes were even introduced -- and it was for such reasons
that Muhammad (pbuh) earned his title as one of the greatest lawgivers of all time.
And in all honesty capital punishment for the act of treason, is nothing new, matter
of fact it's still happening today in the very country you yourself are living in whereby
your own citizens could and most likely would be killed for treason and conspiracy against
the state.
And as much as you try to label Islam as a religion that kills people on the basis of
being Non Muslim...
There are 1.7 Billion Muslims alive today with 1 in 4 people being Muslim - so if this
really was the case, don't you think that everyone would be dead by now.
See, the Quran actually permits us to be kind to non-Muslims so as long as they a) Don't
try to fight us because of our religion and b) Try to drive us out of our homes.
Pretty fair Deal.
And even still -- the Quran on multiple occasions -- highlights the importance of forgiving
those who do wrong to you.
Look into the life of Muhammad (pbuh) -- For instance the conquest of Makkah, whereby he
entered a city which had persecuted, tortured, boycotted and even tried to assassinate the
Messenger on multiple occasions -- yet he entered the with his head lowered stating
that today is the day of mercy -- And almost everyone was pardoned.
Now -- your final comment.
Okay this, is when it get's a bit creepy, what exactly are you insinuating.
Because it sure sounds to me that you're reiterating the exact same thoughts and sentiments that
the "Award Winning Atheist" Sam Harris used to justify his suggestion that a pre-emptive
nuclear strike on the Muslim world killing tens of millions of innocent civilians in
a single day is justified- why because theirs 'highly destructive technology and one person
can ruin the lives of millions'.
Which is funny since history clearly shows that the only one who has actually used nuclear
weapons in the past -- is the very country you and Sam call home.
And you can go ahead and disassociate yourself from such comments as much as you like, but
the fact of the matter is -- A Godless society caters for such ideas - whereby tyrannical
governments play the role of God and do what they wish when they wish being held accountable
to no one but themselves -- This is exactly why we've seen atheists like Stalin commit
the attrocities he did.
This is why we saw Christopher Hitchins support the illegal Iraq war, which led to the deaths
of over a million people including over 500,000 innocent children.
So before you want to talk about Islam serving a risk to humanity, please have some humility.
Islam is not a risk to humanity.
Islam is peace.
And no matter what you say or how say it.
We will never stop spreading peace.
PEACE.
