Haters will exploit this appalling terrorist attack by speaking lies about Islam and Muslims. They will know of the numerous explicit commands in the Qur’an and sunnah prohibiting the murder of the innocent. Terrorism is prohibited in the shariah and is punishable with death. Mark Collett is a leading figure on the far right here in the UK. For reasons best known to himself, he refuses to face facts and get educated about Islam.

Extremists hate all that an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester stands for: joy, unity, openness without frontiers.
Following the massacre at the Bataclan concert venue in Paris in November 2015, IS said about the victims that they were “pagans” gathered for “a concert in prostitution and sin”. In a message that is said to be from the Islamic state, the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester is said to be a shame and the victims – including an eight-year-old girl – are called crusaders.

Can we have a discussion around the idea of innocence? It is my understanding that according to this stream of Islam the people killed were not innocent. Do you think your idea of innocence is contrary to other Muslims?
E.g us kafir are hated
They who dispute the signs of Allah [kafirs] without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers. So Allah seals up every arrogant, disdainful heart. and despised by Allah.
Annihilated
So the kafirs were annihilated. All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
Terrorised
Then your Lord spoke to His angels and said, “I will be with you. Give strength to the believers. I will send terror into the kafirs’ hearts, cut off their heads and even the tips of their fin-gers!”
While you personally may not apply those texts to us today, I suggest that many, if not most, would. Ergo, this idea of innocence needs some definition

In Islam kiling innocent people is prohibited. Ie those killed last night had not committed any crime. They were just kids.
Even if they had, they should be tried in a court of law not just slaughtered.
Terrorism is a serious crime in shariah and if found guilty the terrorist can be put to death. Suicide (as in suicide bombing yesterday) is also prohibited and a massive sin.
Islamically everything that happened yesterday was utterly haram.

The question is not what some Muslims might think but what does God teach in the Quran and sunnah. You have to be duly convicted of a crime. The kids committed no conceivable crime or wrongdoing. Therefore it is absolutely forbidden to attack them in any way. That is Islamic teaching. There is no divergence of opinion in the Quran and sunnah or the opinions of the sahabah, or the four schools.
As to the evil motives of this mass murderer I do not know. Whatever they are, they do not stem from Islam.

Moreover, It’s just a fact that christians are the most bloody people in the human history. You cannot deny that. We know that the bible has been the most influential book for the west, and they are the most bloody people in the human history. I let you draw the equation for yourself.
It’s obvious from you and christians like you that you take the picture of those incidents from your hatred against Islam. You neglect the major factors leading to these situations.

Ken,
The hadith is referring to accidental killings during night raids. The very fact that they asked the Prophet about it shows that they knew that it was forbidden to kill women and children. But due to the circumstances of war, the Prophet stated that it was an acceptable risk.
Now Ken, maybe you can answer my question. I’ve asked this question to four of your nutjob brethren and they refused to answer:
Was the killing of Canaanite children right or wrong?

Hugo Grotius(1583-1645) the reputed father of international law, has an even more ingenious explanation for jesus’ injunction of turning the other cheek, we ought to interpret this as literally as possible, meaning that christ is encouraging non-retaliation only in the case where one is struck on those body parts, namely the cheeks .
Therefore, jesus does not prohibit retaliation when someone strikes any other body part…. in fact , the selection of ‘cheeks’ for this injunction shows that jesus intended non-retaliation for the LIGHTEST OF INJURY possible rather than for more severe injuries….basing himself on supposed hebrew customs , Grotius also opines that ‘ turning the cheek’ could be entirely figurative . in addition, Grotius argues that christ is not addressing magistrates , who may have duties to retaliate when the larger national body is attacked.

Notice just my asking questions about the texts of the Qur’an and why SOME Muslims do such things; and clearly stated that I love Muslims and want them to know the peace, joy, love, and hope in Christ – notice how they turned the whole discussion into:
The KKK – a past thing and so small with no significance at all today.
Norm Chaomsky and his leftist liberation theology, etc.
Calvin agreeing to burning the heretic Servetus in the 1500s
The American Indians
Carpet bombing the Nazis
the invasion of Iraq in 2003, etc.
It’s all blaming others for their problems within the house of Islam.
And then when I explain that the NT did abrogate some of the OT laws; Williams doesn’t see that that proves his first example of KKK was wrong; because a lot of the Muslim world still does those Shariah Huddud punishments; and some do war and terrorism and seek to bring a Caliph back.
From above, part of my first comment:
Is it possible to think that there is something wrong with Islamic texts in the Qur’an (like 9:29; 8:39; 5:33; and many other verses) and many Hadith, and not hate Muslims as people but sincerely want them to find the peace, joy, hope, and love in Jesus? (Romans 5:1-11)
Some people are haters and bigots, but not everyone who questions the Islamic texts and is asking questions about Islam and terrorism and sees a lot of problems with Islam itself, is a hater; nor a bigot.
It is possible for Christians to genuinely love Muslims and want them to know the peace and love of God in Christ (Romans 5:1-11) , but question the doctrines and practices of Islam itself, and see many problems with how many Muslims are getting radicalized to do violent things in the last 30 years, especially since 9-11-2001.

LOL, this is Ken’s secret weapon in debates: “Nope, you lost…”
There is no evidence in the Bible that the NT “abrogated some stuff”. Jesus followed the law and so did his disciples. Why else did James ask Paul to take the Nazirite vow?
Also, according the Tanakh (the so-called “Old Testament”), God’s laws were to be established for all times. This is clearly stated in Ezekiel 37:
“My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees. 25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever. 26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. 27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 Then the nations will know that I the Lord make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.”
There is no ambiguity here. The law was to be established forever. This contradicts the position of Christians like Ken. If Jesus had abolished the law, then he could not be the Messiah, given the condition set in Ezekiel 37.
The following website supports the establishment of the law forever: http://www.romancatholicism.co.uk/everlastinglaw.html

LOL, maybe its because we know that responding to your misquotes of the Quran and Hadiths will not make a difference. Brainwashed Christian zombies will be brainwashed Christian zombies. Your holy spirit has rotted your brain, so no amount of rational discussion will make a difference.
However, we can at least expose you as a satanic liar and humiliate you in the process. So, let’s begin:
Surah 8:12 is referring to a battle between the Muslims and the Meccan pagans. That is the context. And according to the Islamic rules of warfare, only combatants can be killed. In contrast, your mangod commanded the killing of children and babies as part of his scorched earth policy of terror.
Also, Surah 8:61 states:
“But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).”
So, peace is always preferred. In contrast, your mangod was not interested in peace between his Israelite hordes and the Canaanites. The choice was extermination and nothing else.
So, soccer hooligan, let me ask you as I have asked several of your satanic coreligionists:
Was the killing of Canaanite children by your mangod’s hordes right or wrong?
As for the hadiths you quoted, we know that deliberately killing children was absolutely forbidden. However, the necessities of war made civilian casualties a possibility. It was not desired but it was accepted that military operations could lead to civilian casualties. However, this did not mean that Muslims could haphazardly attack enemy encampments without any regard for women and children that might get in the way. That is why the hadith refers to NIGHT raids, when visibility was difficult.
In contrast, your mangod commanded the deliberate destruction of enemy cities and the total annihilation of its inhabitants. Moses, Joshua, Gideon…these were all the Israelite equivalents of Genghis Khan.

varies greatly with the writer or the speaker. Basically based his or

Even during the Ottoman period there was great variation in the use of

not true
I am not trying to demonize all Muslims – but SOME texts are problematic and one can see the problems with them and why SOME Muslims become terrorists, even 1 % of over one billion people is a lot of people spread all over the world who are doing these kinds of things like Isis / Da’esh / Al Qaedah type stuff.
We as Christians are commanded to love all people and reach out to all, but that does not mean we cannot criticize something in the texts of another religion that seems to motivate too many people to do very evil and bad things, like suicide bombing of innocent people. They have done it against Shiites and Kurds and other Muslims also, and I recognize that, so I am not trying to demonize all Muslims. There is a difference between the people vs. the doctrines/texts.
Just the other day he made up his own translation of the Qur’an to make it say fight the people of the book.
Surah 9:29 does say that; and even Ibn Kathir in his commentary confirms this, with verse 28, that because there was no more revenue from the pagans coming to Mecca and Hijaz, and the Hadith that says “no two religions will be allowed in Arabia”, etc. Ibn Kathir says that for this reason, the command came to fight the people of the book, and attack the Byzantine Empire, and Omar carried it out later.
See here:
“What is really interesting is verse 28 – “if you fear poverty, soon Allah will enrich you”. the reason for that was because Muhammad had conquered the Hijaz (the Arabian peninsula, especially around Mecca and Medina, and no pagans or idol worshippers were allowed. That means the Muslims could not get tax or penalty money from the pagans. Surah 9:5 – “fight the unbelievers where ever you find them”, proves this, and several Hadith that says “no two religions will be allowed on the Arabian peninsula” see Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 288, and other Hadiths, quoted at the bottom of this article *) They were all killed or driven out or converted to Islam. So now, there is no revenue from the pilgrimages, so, according to verses 28-29, they will allow the Christians and Jews to be in the Islamic state, provided they surrender and don’t fight/resist, and pay the Jiziye with humiliation, and they cannot evangelize or build new churches or even criticize Islam.
Qur’an 9:28—O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque. And if ye fear poverty, soon will Allah enrich you, if He wills, out of His bounty, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
Qur’an 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, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Qur’an 9:30—The Jews call Uzair a son of God, and the Christians call Christ the son of God. That is a saying from their mouth; (In this) they but imitate what the Unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
Ibn Kathir, The Battles of the Prophet, pp. 183-4— “Allah, Most High, ordered the believers to prohibit the disbelievers from entering or coming near the sacred Mosque. On that, Quraish thought that this would reduce their profits from trade. Therefore, Allah, Most High, compensated them and ordered them to fight the people of the Book until they embrace Islam or pay the Jizyah. Allah says, “O ye who believe! Truly the pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the sacred Mosque. And if ye fear poverty, soon will Allah enrich you, if He wills, out of His bounty, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. 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, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” Therefore, the Messenger of Allah decided to fight the Romans in order to call them to Islam.”
Tafsir Ibn Kathir (on Qur’an 9:30)—”Fighting the Jews and Christians is legislated because they are idolaters and disbelievers. Allah the Exalted encourages the believers to fight the polytheists, disbelieving Jews and Christians, who uttered this terrible statement and utter lies against Allah, the Exalted. As for the Jews, they claimed that Uzayr was the son of God, Allah is free of what they attribute to Him. As for the misguidance of Christians over Isa, it is obvious.”

what would a cynic say about jesus’ violence on INNOCENT people in the temple ? surely women were caught by the whip too, right?
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
“That’s not a terrorist attack, that’s more a reaction/defense imo.”
He made a whip and was whipping people. That’s physical violence. He was preventing people from carrying anything across the courtyard and preventing people from buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He was trying to shut down the Torah mandated function of the Temple altogether at its most busy time and as using physical violence to do so. If a bunch of Muslims went through a church whipping people with bullwhips and trying to shut it down, nobody would say it was not a terrorist attack.
The challenge was to find something “immoral” about the literary character of Jesus in the Gospels. The assault on the Temple is an example of pointless violence against innocent civilians – low-level functionaries doing a necessary job, to make some entirely symbolic point. I call that terroristic but it doesn’t really matter if you accept that word. The point is that it was, in my view (and I was asked for my view) immoral. Unprovoked violence against innocent people is immoral and even more so during the week of Passover because the city was packed with people from the country, the Romans were greatly outnumbered. The city was a powder keg and the Romans were paranoid about any kinds of riots or disturbances and they reacted swiftly and ruthlessly to stop any potential unrest the second it started. They were big bud-nippers, those Romans. Causing that kind of commotion at the Temple could have gotten hundreds or thousands of innocent people killed. It would be an entirely reckless act which would have engendered great tension or dare I say it, terror among the Jewish crowds.
What was going on that was immoral? Nothing was in violation of Jewish law. To call it immoral would be to call the Torah itself immoral. Moreover, he was also driving out people who had gone there to sacrifice. The people who would allegedly be the victims under your theory

but it is too obvious to me that you worship 3 gods.
1 does not mean 3
one thing is not 3 things.
if it is inborn/innate within my mind that you are a polytheist , how can i lie to myself and say 1 = 3?
do you see what i mean?
“God knows the unseen; all we can do is warn people before they die.”
your god does not know the hour .

Ken, you need to repent after you reach this age!
Allah is calling you
” So will they not repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful ” Surah 5:74
Stop worshipping a human being, and start worshipping that ONE whom Jesus himself worships and fears.

Ken always appeals to Ibn Kathir’s commentary on Surah Tawbah 9:29, as if he was the final authority on this matter. Ken has been refuted many times. The guy is a broken record.
There was an article posted by brother Eric a while back which discussed the proper context of Surah 9:29:

“According to al-Ṭabarī (d. 923), this verse was revealed prior to the battle of Tabūk.36 The reason for the Tabūk expedition was due to the assassination of one of the Prophet’s ﷺ ambassadors at the hands of a Roman ally, leading to the battle of Mu’tah.
According to classical jurist Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 1350), the Romans committed the first acts of war that led to the confrontations at Mu’tah and Tabūk:
The cause of the battle was that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, sent Ḥārith ibn Umair al-Azdī of the tribe of Lihb with his letter to Syria for the Roman king or Buṣrā. He presented it to Sharḥabīl ibn ‘Amr al-Ghassaāni and he bound him and struck his neck. Never had an ambassador of the Messenger of God been killed besides him. [The Prophet] was upset by that when news reached him and he dispatched an expedition.37
This incident made clear that peaceful relations with the Romans were not possible at the time. Hence, the verse 9:29 was revealed in response, consistent with the rules in previous verses.
Most scholars did not consider unbelief in Islam itself as a casus belli or justification for war. Ibn al-Qayyim reports the view of these jurists:
Fighting is only necessary to confront war and not to confront unbelief. For this reason, women and children are not killed, neither are the elderly, the blind, or monks who do not participate in fighting. Rather, we only fight those who wage war against us. This was the way of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, with the people of the earth. He would fight those who declared war on him until they accepted his religion, or they proposed a peace treaty, or they came under his control by paying tribute.”
It’s really not that difficult to understand Ken. You just need to get off your high horse.
