I believe it will be with the Muslims against non-Muslims. More specific: Muslims against Jews and America. The Koran and other authoritative Islamic scriptures do contain incitements against non-Muslims. The eminent historian Paul Johnson, for example, cites two Koranic verses: "Strongest among men in enmity to the Believers will you find the Jews and Pagans" (Sura 5, verse 85) and "Then fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them. And seize them, beleaguer them and lie in wait for them." (9:5).

It is already happening.  It's not a shooting war but an economic one centering on oil.  All the more reason the US needs to wake up and devlop alternate, domestically based energy sources.

Quran advocates war only for selfdefense. Islam in its early stages had lot of violent opposition because others did'nt like people getting attracted to Islam. Prophet has to himself leave his place(meccah) with his followers to Medina for safety. The first war of Islam Badr occured when his opponents followed him to medina.\n\nSee this answer also http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006012302108\n\nRegarding repeation, yes there is repetation, as the Quran itself mentions about this\n\n"Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises." Quran 39: 23 \n\nAs you mentioned, Story of Moses  is mentioned in many places may be highlighting different aspects in different places.

Yes!  Any one who says there is another God besides God, even if it is His prophet Jesus, will go to hell.  By the way, the Arab Christians and other faiths that live in the Middle East read the Bible in Arabic and call prophet Jesus Isa ibn Allah, Jesus son of Allah/God; they also happen to where turbans and ride camels for those too narrow minded to think for themselves and wait for stooges like this to make stupid comments.  Every one is born Muslim, it is your parents that make you Jews or Christians if that's what you claim to be.  After all, according to Christians and Jews, and this stooge asking this question, Muslims will go to hell.  Too bad wolves like this have become your leaders.

It is interesting to note that protestations seem to go only one way.\n \nThe muslim bunch cheerfully ignore "insults" published against "Jews","Buddhists","Shinto's",\n"Christians"," Hindus","Deists", "Rastafarians","Wicca's", "Confucians", "Bahrain's", practioneers of \nVoodoo,  etc. and then riot in the streets when the media portrays Muhammad for what he was, i.e., \na blood-thirsty intolerant tyrant responsible for the deaths of millions of people.\n \nNo doubt they have this attitude as they do not recognize persons they consider as "unbelievers" to \nbe capable of being insulted.\n \nMany muslim dominated countries don't allow other religions holy books into their country and forbid \nthe proselytism within their borders of other religions as if they had something to fear.\n \nMuhammad's  so-called HOLY BOOK specifically calls out for the slaughter of all non-muslims.\n \nIt was his practice when he was alive and this practice remains a part of this groups tenets today.\n \nDeath due to one's beliefs totally dwarfs "cartoons" printed in a newspaper. \n[Death seems to have some degree of permanency]\n \nUntil they disavow this part of their bible, the Qur'an, I see no reason to offer up sympathy for them \nand their religion for this alleged insult.\n \nBTW, I considered the "cartoons" to be to the point and very well done.

Well, considering how secure many Americans are in their smaill-mindedness and exclusionary behaviour, I guess so. The greatest risk that an increase of Muslims presents to the USA is the risk that you might be forced to open your minds and accept Muslims as people just the same as you instead of live bombs...

I am not a Muslim so I cannot answer your question but I am very interested.  Can you cite the verses of the Koran or the specific hadith that calls the Injeel "holy" and/or "corrupt"?\n\nFrom what I have studied of the life of Muhammad, it appears to me that he started of with a beautiful message but once he became more powerful and after many many battles the tone of his messages changed drastically.  In the early days, Jews and Christians were "people of the Book" -- later he called us "pigs and dogs."  \n\nMy best guess would be that Muhammad called the Injeel "holy" in his early days, and "corrupt" later when Jews and Christians rejected him as a prophet.  \n\nI would love to know the citations so I can see if these things are attributable to Muhammad at all and if so, when.

Muhammad (pbuh) will strongly disapprove this LilPink  because he told us the teaching of Allah( GOD) n he has clearly told that never kill innocent ,ladies, old peoples or rest of the  peacful peoples and fight only to those who are fighting with u, He told us not to destroy even vegetation if u are fighting in enemy area.....and fight only to those who attack you. well killing in islam is basicaly for defensive purpose n God doen't like killing innocents.....killing is only allowed for war purpose  .like when u are attacked by some invader who want to destrou your sovereingnty u should fight with them .......for those redical muslims i must say they are Wrong totaly wrong and they are terrorist........they are not following true islam and these are the peoples who brought bad name to our religion but the worse thing is that rest of the world also judge islam on basis of those redicals....they are  not following islam..i must say they are equal to that terrorism that is being practised in Iraq and Afghanistan, \n  the sad aspect is that there are redicals in other religions as well but only islam is judged on  their activites while rest of the religions are spared.... anyways..simple answer to ur question is that Yes Muhammad will strongly condemn such activities.which are surely terrorism..\n\n peace!!

hi, i dont know the FRUIT of US but i think that the Jewish terorism against Arab and Palestinian is more older than the Al Qaeda , anyway Al Qaeda was stablished by the American Goverement to help the Afghan and Muslims in the mid 80's to get out the Suvet occupation of Agfanestan and then with the money El Qaeda took from the American Gorvement they attacked it again. Anyway i hate either extremism in whatever religion, Jewish, Christain or Muslim, i think to be a moderate religious is the best to let all the people of the world leave in peace. An opinion from an Muslim guy . Thank you for your question and i hope u can find the truth and the real answers about it soon. TC

Yes, I read the comment from the director of MI5.  I believe it is plausable.  As far as solutions, we as the public ar limited, I mean really the majority of muslims are alright, it's just the fanatics.  Should we punish them all, for actions of the few? No. However, I do feel that the muslim community in general, should take a little more pro-active approach to encouraging this type of behaviour to stop.  They should denounce hate pedalers and encourage prosecution of people who incite violence against people who don't follow their religion.  They have done this on a few occasions but more is needed.  MI5 says they are following 1600 people, good, hopefully any plots should be foiled.  If there are more bombings, it will get alot worse for muslims in the UK.  As far as apologies and running away from Iraq, that's not a solution.  Those are chicken sh*t tactics, and is exactly what the fundamentalists want, so they can spew more hate fueled rhetoric, calling the west heartless, weak, scared, defeated, and call for the destruction of the zionist empire next.  Blah,Blah,Blah.  All we can do, is remain vigilent in our own communities and rely on spy agencies to do their job.  After all, they already took away our fire arms, so we have to leave any response to the government.

(this isn't an answer directly to the question but is just a comment on the latest answer that has been posted...)\nthe words you have written clearly speaks of your lack of knowledge in what you are supposedly trying to comment to...\nfirstly, the Bible speaks of those things, correct but it doesn't lie on the same plane as the argument being presented in the question...we don't condemn the violence in Koran or like what happened in the Bible...it is simply a question of faith and what kind of leader you are following....\n\n\nIslam: "Religion of Peace" \n\n"Those that make war against Allah and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter." (Sura 5.33-34) \n\n"Allah revealed His will to the angels, saying: 'I shall be with you. Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers!' That was because they defied Allah and His apostle. He that defies Allah and his apostle shall be sternly punished by Allah." (Sura 8.12-13) \n\n"In order that Allah may separate the pure from the impure, put all the impure ones [i.e. non-Muslims] one on top of another in a heap and cast them into hell. They will have been the ones to have lost." (Sura 8.37) \n\n"Muster against them [i.e. non-Muslims] all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them who are unknown to you but known to Allah." (Sura 8.60) \n\n"Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal harshly with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate." (Sura 9.73) \n\n"When We resolve to raze a city, We first give warning to those of its people who live in comfort. If they persist in sin, judgement is irrevocably passed, and We destroy it utterly." (Sura 17.16-17) \n\n"We have destroyed many a sinful nation and replaced them by other men. And when they felt Our Might they took to their heels and fled. They were told: 'Do not run away. Return to your comforts and to your dwellings. You shall be questioned all.' 'Woe betide us, we have done wrong' was their reply. And this they kept repeating until We mowed them down and put out their light." (Sura 21.11-15) \n\n"When you meet the unbelievers in jihad, chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended." (Sura 47.4) \n\n"Mohammed is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." (Sura 48.29)\n\n__________________________________________\n\nPeople perish because of the lack of knowledge.

This is a test from Allah. He said in the Quran "You shall certainly be tried and tested in your wealth and properties and in your personal selves, and you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you (Jews and Christians) and from those who ascribe partners to Allâh, but if you persevere patiently, and become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V:) then verily, that will be a determining factor in all affairs, and that is from the great matters, [which you must hold on with all your efforts"(3-186). And I believe that extremists are bad whatever their religion.

The Jews call `Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah.... ....This phrase comes directly from Koran. It is obviuos that Mohamad wrote the Koran, not God. the Jews means all jews, just like the christians means all christians. I dont think God made such a big mistake....Koran never said some of the Jews, or some of the Christians. He clearly meant ALL.....

Good for you for sharing that...\n\nThe Mufti of Marseille quoted the same verses...\nHe was angered by the muslim community for demonstrating against the Cartoons \n\nHe said that especially Western Muslims, have benefited greatly from Free Speehc and Free Press...\n\nHe said that those manifestations where the proof that Muslims were week in their faith because they got offended for just a few cartoons of bad tastes. He also says that Criticism helps make one strong and look at himself.\n\nHe also added: That the current problem with Islam in the West and Arab countries is that there are more and more Imam that dont have enough spiritual knowledge of Islam and they are too focused on the political aspect of Islam... Such as the Imam of Danemark that provoked the whole situation...\n\nSo you are right to ask that questions.... But very very very few Muftis and Imams voice the spiritual view of Islam...Mr. Benchek. the Mufti of Marseille is a rare gem (With Balls I might say...).
