How about it Islam? Why not peace?

Check out this quote given in a question posed by a Muslim brother.

"As we can see, God has forbidden every kind of mischievous acts in the religion of Islam including terrorism and violence, and condemned those who commit such deeds. A Muslim lends beauty to the world and improves it."

"But as for those who break God's contract after it has been agreed and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and cause corruption in the earth, the curse will be upon them. They will have the Evil Abode. (Surat ar-Ra'd: 25)

Seek the abode of the hereafter with what God has given you, without forgetting your portion of the world. And do good as God has been good to you. And do not seek to cause mischief on earth. God does not love mischief makers.' (Surat al-Qasas: 77)"

MY QUESTION IS THIS:

If this quote is true, why is the Middle East always in strife? Why are Christian Missionaries killed for sharing the Gospel in Muslim countries? What about Al-Queda? Taliban? Aren't they Muslim?

Update:

What I am seeing is exactly what I expected--either "it's ok because it's a HOLY WAR" or Al-Queda etc are not true Muslims.

I agree with the second point, but why then are no or very few Muslim leaders standing up to correct and stop Al-Queda and their terrorist friends who hide behind your faith? They are doing more damage to Muslims than to Americans.

As for the US being the problem by "invading" Iraq twice--we were there the first time because Iraq invaded a peaceful nation without any cause other than greed by an EVIL dictator. The second time, we came at the invitation of your own people who were upset that we didn't finish the job the first time, and to stop Saddam from partnering with Al-Queda. Didn't work out the way we thought, but the Iraqi people haven't helped much either. If you don't like the violence, and disagree with Al-Queda and the other terrorists, why not stand up to them?

Update 2:

Tina,

How have the Americans been "stealing" the oil? What have the Americans been "stealing" from the Iraqi people? If they have been, then they need to be held accountable for their actions by law.

And if someone came to my house and wanted to steal something, anything, I would not kill them for it. It's just "stuff" not worth killing for. My worth comes from being a disciple of Jesus Christ, not from the "stuff" I have.

And as far as having it all wrong, I don't think so. Just paying attention to what is going on in the world, and it seems Muslims are killing more Muslims than any other power is.

    why is it that christian boys join gangs and then murder , deal drugs and steal

    why is it that catholic members of ETA are terrorist in Spain

    Why is it that catholic men in South America are drug dealers and murders

    Why are the same Christian missionaries killed each year in South America

    Are these people not also seen as terrorist

    Before your finger remember that three are pointing back at you. (actually look at your hand while pointed and you will see it is true)

    As for Al-Queda and the Taliban they follow Wahhabi laws. That are outside the mainstream of Islam.

    Wahhabi are from the Hanabalite school of law founded by Ahmad bin Hanabal. It is the smallest among the orthodox. They do not except private opinion or analogy and scorn consistence. They are very strict beleaving that law should only consist of the Quran and Hadith. this was extended in the 1790's by Muhammad Al Wahhab for what we now consider the Wahhabi

    Politics, money and land.

    Edit:

    The Almighty God said : "The believing men and the believing women , they are guardians of each other , enjoin good and forbid evil... "God attaches primary importance to enjoining good and forbidding evil " as a duty for men and women. For he knows that if it were fulfilled all the other duties , easy or hard , will be accomplished. That is because "enjoining good and forbidding evil" is a call for Islam , it regains the rights of the oppressed and opposes tyrants.

    Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem, I am a Muslim, and I will answer your question, hopefully you can understand. "They should be telling this to Osama Bin Laden. They should be telling this to the Taliban. They should be telling this to Hamas who have been firing missiles into Israel. They should be telling this to the perpetrators of the Mumbai carnage. They should be telling this to the perpetrators of 9/11." What do you know about these people? Obviously not enough. I thought by know all Americans knew the truth behind 9/11. Haven't you seen all the proofs that scientist and witnesses have declared about it. It was clearly an inside job, demolition style and the airplane hoax was to trick the american public into following the government and bush's plans to attack saddam, uh i mean osama. I remember being in school, 8th grade history class, when all the sudden all the tvs turned on and everyone was watching the events. it took about a year of believe this junk, till we saw on tv and dvds people clearly showing it all was the government. What makes me sick is they killed our people, innocent people to justify starting a war with Afghanistan and Iraq. And many soldiers will tell you how silly this war was. The Taliban are simply defending their land, women and children from the horrible crimes the invading soldiers are committing. "Can someone explain how a OCCUPYING AGGRESSOR can be acting in self defense, when they have gaza held by its neck for many years??? ITS KNOWN AS GENOCIDE to the intelligent people of earth. Israel blockades Gaza on all four corners and expects the Palestinians to bare it.Gaza has been occupied by Israel since 1967 war, been denied electricity, food, even medicine in numerous times by Israel whose cruelty knows no limit. Hamas is a "terrorist" group? NO Hamas are a DEMOCRATICALLY elected government of the Palestinians people. Britain and Australia consider the military wing of Hamas, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam , as terrorist organizations but not Hamas itself. All in all there are under a dozen countries who consider Hamas a "terrorist organization", not a lot is it." As for Mumbai, you should read This is India's 9/11? Think again by DOUG SAUNDERS Maybe you should just forget tv for a while and educate yourself a little better.... and while you are at it, listen to what these people are telling you.

    listen u have everything wrong

    let me ask u

    if u have a wife and family

    what if someone breaks into ur house

    tries to rob u

    and if u fight them

    they try to kill ur family

    will you let anyone kill ur children?

    no i will right back

    that is what the arabs are doing

    first u should know

    In Palistine the Jews came and the muslims sold some of their land to them. Then more kept coming and buying land. They want their land back. So i do not agree with this war effort.

    But for Iraq the Americans went there and started stealing the oil and products of the Iraqis. If anyone comes and tries to steal ur car will you let him?

    Thirdly

    The Muhammed ordered murders in the Quran and Hadith

    I can give you verses

    Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:

    Narrated Abu Huraira:

    Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

    9:5] But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

    9:14] Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,

    9:29] Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued

    5:51] O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

    they can kill us but we can not kill them and they can not kill each other

    4:92] Never should a believer kill a believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake, (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a believer, it is ordained that he should free a believing slave, and pay compensation to the deceased's family, unless they remit it freely. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you, and he was a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged to a people with whom ye have treaty of Mutual alliance, compensation should be paid to his family, and a believing slave be freed. For those who find this beyond their means, (is prescribed) a fast for two months running: by way of repentance to Allah: for Allah hath all knowledge and all wisdom

    Personal ambition and greed come first. The guy at the top who is looking for power and money, uses the sucker to achieve that power. If you're trying to become dictator of a nation, you need a lot of suckers. If you don't have many billions of dollars to bribe them with - -- promise them heaven, they'll fall for it, and it wont cost a penny.

    The Koran, like most "holy" books, can be interpreted in many ways. Quotes abound in this book (and in the Bible) that could be used to justify the most horrific acts.
