Terrorists Are False Muslims, Not Entitled To Enter Paradise Or Share In Any Of Its Rewards
By Rev. Bill McGinnis (about the author)
Become a Fan -- Page 2 of 5 page(s)
Qur'an 2.178-179, 2.194
(Shakir Translation)
The doctrine of "substitutionary retaliation" is completely unjust, similar to the injustice of cutting off the hand of a random person in a village as punishment for a theft, when the actual villager who committed the crime could not be captured.
TERRORISM ALWAYS EXCEEDS THE LIMITS SET BY ALLAH
No matter what justification for it may exist, terrorism always exceeds the limits set by Allah, because terrorism deliberately intends to kill innocent people.
[2.190] And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and
do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the
limits.
[18.74] So they went on until, when they met a boy, he slew him. (Musa)
said: Have you slain an innocent person otherwise than for manslaughter?
Certainly you have done an evil thing.
Qur'an 2.190, 18.74
(Shakir Translation)
Their feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity,
desolation and destruction are in their highways
Bible: Isaiah 59:7
(Revised Standard Version)
THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT FIGHT AGAINST ALLAH OR AGAINST ISLAM, BUT ONLY AGAINST TERRORIST MURDERERS WHO FALSELY CLAIM THAT ISLAM AUTHORIZES THEIR ATTACKS.
The United States does not fight against Allah or against Islam or Hinduism or Judaism or Shinto or Buddhism or Christianity or Paganism or any other religion whatsoever. By its Constitution and all its laws, the United States must remain neutral regarding religion.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom
of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably
to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
U. S. Constitution, First Amendment
An offense against against an Islamic-majority country is not the same thing as an attack on Islam itself or an attack on Allah, for there have always been many reasons for countries to go to war, without regard to religion. In the war between Iraq and Iran, both countries were Islamic-majority countries. Neither country was fighting against Islam, but they had their own reasons to fight, apart from religion. Similarly, the fight between Israel and Palestine is not a fight between Judaism and Islam, but is, instead, a territorial conflict between a Judaism-majority country and an Islamic-majority country.
TERRORISTS REBEL AGAINST ALLAH BY REFUSING TO ACCEPT HIS WILL.
Two of the most basic truths in Islam are that Allah has power over all things and that He gives whatever He chooses to whomever He pleases. These two ideas are found throughout the Quran in dozens of places. The entire concept of submission to the will of Allah is founded on these two ideas.
This one verse from the Quran encompasses both ideas as clearly as any, and there are dozens more.
