Islam, Islamophobia and The Unbelievers.

What is Islam

"Say: 'Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you. If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message). (The Noble Quran, 24:54)"

"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (The Noble Quran, 2:256)"

The most important factor to the religious Islam is to believe that there is no god but God(Allah) and Mohammad (peace be with him) is God's final messenger.
Allah translated to English would mean Thee One God.
Islam gives it's follower the complete freedom of thoughts and conquest for knowledge and betterment's to the community and oneself through righteous actions. It addresses specific and major issues in a striving community as well ensures that the poor, elderly and needy are to be taken care of as well establishing a community bank, hospitals, universities and a required donation of 2% of anyone earnings where all people will pay the same amount with no acceptations, as well encourages donations on an everyday basis.
Islam's politics for a society where the leaders served the masses, the money was only a tool to expand a strong, solid community. Knowledge and Education are very important elements were crucial to their everyday life. The quest to figure out how any one can tell the time for prayer by making clocks to tell time as well the very difficult task of establishing GLOBAL POSITIONING, this way anyone can know the direction to Mecca, and impressive enough established both and they simply took off in many other fields of knowledge and great civilizations which none surpass the wonders done in Spain and Alhambra. All these civilizations began with this one man, Mohammad(pbuh)
Mohammad(pbuh) passed away with zero in money and his house was very simple and basic. It's said his bed was made from dried tree leaves, yet he changed his community to seekers of betterments and knowledge.

Taking care of the needy was done on hourly basis by Mohammad(pbuh). He received great deals of gold and money, only to donate it all away and even fasted for days because he donated so much.
Giving is better then receiving according to Islam and the rewards of giving to others here is receiving a far greater compensation that is greater then the entire earth.(Heaven)
Evil and bad actions will only lead to a compensation which no one wishes it on themselves if they knew.(hell)

So Islam pretty much says give give give and pray to God at all moments, have God with you with every action to every word. Always strive to be among the righteous and good doers. Allah rewards far exceed everything on this earth.

Freedom of choice(to belief) according to the Quran

"If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then COMPEL mankind, against their will, to believe! (The Noble Quran, 10:99)"

There is no such thing as forced conversion in Islam. The Quran forbids it


Islamophobia world wide

Beware of all the Islamophobia that is going on across the U.S.A and many other nations across the world. Islam is not a hate based faith, rather a faith that truly encourages love and righteousness.
Islam has been targeted by many and the finger pointing associating radicals with Islam (the faith). It seems as the terror acts done by almost everybody else to being unrelated to their religious believes, but when a Muslim commits such an act then Islam (the faith) is guilty, therefor making all Muslims guilty.

The media among many sources have played a major role in spreading miss-info about Islam. Turning people's attention to something irrelevant (Islam) to being a world threat and ignore major issues like the illegal war against Iraq, the continual occupation of Afghanistan, the collapsing economies, The collapsing education systems, collapsing insurances, fraudulent banking, and much more.

What Islamophobia does is it continues to generalize all Muslims to being somewhat supportive of terrorism or are all terrorist because Islam itself supports terrorism and many spread lies that attempt to justify their claims with Quranic text taken out of context, which are a few and completely ignore the overwhelming text that teach to be peaceful and be moderate.
One of the typical miss-info we find about Islam is that Muslims are supposed to kill all the unbelievers. Which is very far from the truth. Many push That Islam is an ideology that encourages violence and aggression.

"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things). (The Noble Quran, 8:61)"

"If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear God, the cherisher of the worlds. (The Noble Quran, 5:28)"

What does the Quran command Muslims to do to the unbeliever

"Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to God's will) in Islam. Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them). (The Noble Quran, 15:2-3)"

There you have it
The Quran does not say "kill all those who don't believe in Islam". The Quran commands to LEAVE THEM ALONE. Disbelievers have the free choice to do so and the Quran confirms of this human right. All people are given the freedom of choice as well force is forbidden on any one to accept belief.

"Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it):......(The Noble Quran, 18:29)"

"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (The Noble Quran, 60:8)"

The Quran command that Muslims show kindness to people who are not fighting them or kicking them out of their home and that GOD loves just dealers.

"And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for God. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers. (The Noble Quran 2:193)"

"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things). (The Noble Quran, 8:61)"

Those who fight the Muslims, the Muslims have a right to fight back until Muslims are victories, but if the enemies stop the fighting then there should be no hostility except against the wrong doers. The innocent are protected.
Muslims are supposed to incline towards peace when peace is offered as well.
It's clear that Islam is a faith that encourages a moderate society that gives people the freedom of choice, a right given by God. That Muslims are not after the none believers and are not on a war against the unbelievers. Islam encourages peace and harmony, productivity and betterment.

It's very important to remember these facts and more important to pass the truth to others.. There are evil forces out there trying to intentionally turn people against each other, but the will of God is stronger then their efforts.

Peace be with you and May you strive in the righteous path from this life to the after.

Nothing Islamic about terrorism: US special envoy

The envoy said terrorism is not connected with Islam.

'I reject the idea that there is something like Islamic terrorism. There is nothing Islamic about terrorism,' he said.

'Acts of terrorism are committed by people of all faiths...there can be many reasons for that. Recently we saw attacks on Muslims by Muslims, nearly 80 percent or higher of the victims are Muslims,' Hussain said, calling upon all religions to join the fight against the scourge.

'Terrorism is something that has no religion, it is rejected by good people all over the world, including Muslims, Hindus, Jewish, Christians and that is why we must work together to eradicate this problem,' he said.

Son of an Indian migrant couple from Bihar, Hussain is both a Quran scholar and an ardent North Carolina Tar Heels basketball fan.

Hussain's father, a mining engineer, moved from Bihar to Wyoming in the late 1960s. A few years later, during a visit to India, he married Hussain's mother, now an obstetrician in Plano.

After the 2008 presidential election, Hussain was recruited to the White House counsel's office where he has worked on national security and new media issues, and helped inform the administration's Muslim outreach efforts. Ben Rhodes, Obama's chief foreign policy speech writer, sought Hussain's counsel last year as he drafted the president's Cairo address reaching out to Muslims.

The 32-year-old, who is the youngest person to have been appointed ambassador by US President Barack Obama, said both India and Pakistan are important strategic partners for the US.

'United States will continue to work with India as a part of our partnership...we have a comprehensive counter-terrorism partnership by which we are working together,' he said adding the links with Pakistan were equally important for peace in the region.

Sangin troop withdrawal: Four years in hell, and Taliban remain undefeated Soldiers applaud decision to pull out of 'Sangingrad', where IEDs and sni

The first troops arrived in Sangin in June 2006, filling sandbags as they fought off the Taliban – an enemy that, four years and at least 100 British deaths later, refuses to go away.

As the casualties have mounted over the years, soldiers stationed in Sangin protected themselves with higher walls and an ever darker sense of humour.

"Welcome to Sangingrad" reads the graffiti at the base entrance, in a bitter allusion to a battle that marked a turning point in world war two. Whether that comparison will prove to be prophetic, given the announced withdrawal, remains to be seen.

One senior British non-commissioned officer who was due to deploy to the district in September today described Sangin as a "hellhole".

"It's very hard to dominate without a massive amount of manpower. All the locals there are pro-Taliban. It's an IED [improvised explosive device] hell and it's hard to keep eyes on everywhere."

He was not surprised to learn of the pullout. "Sangin has been a strategic failure. We are not having the desired effect there."

There have been moments of hope. In 2007, American and Afghan infantrymen helped clear the Taliban from Sangin. "This is an incredibly exciting time for the local people. Now they will see the benefits of reconstruction," one young British officer said at the time.

But his optimism was short-lived. Faced with superior soldiers and firepower, the Taliban skillfully employed every means at their disposal. Initially attacking with small arms and mortars, they later switched to the IED – bombs scattered across the fields and rough dirt roads that have claimed the greatest number of British lives.

Last month the deputy commander of British and US forces in Helmand, Brigadier George Norton, said the Sangin militants had switched again, now attacking with long-distance, small-arms fire – similar to sniper fire, although not as effective.

Sangin has a long history of being troublesome to foreigners. It was the scene of the first major military engagement of the second Anglo-Afghan war of 1878, when the British fought a cavalry battle against 1,500 fighters.

The latest generation of British visitors tried to remain upbeat, always claiming that the Taliban were being pushed out, and that normal life in the town was on the verge of resuming.

But as David Gill, a photographer who visited the town frequently in the past 15 months put it, Sangin was "like a ghost town in Death Valley where you drive through and all you see is a sign flapping in the wind".

In some of the more benign areas of Helmand, children may offer the occasional wave to passing soldiers, Gill said, but in Sangin "all you can feel is the intense hatred of a people who hate everything you stand for".

Another senior NCO, who has served there, said soldiers had seen the areas become more stable, with a local market starting to be established. "But it's a very, very strong Taliban area, and a lot of drugs are dealt through that town.

"It's at the bottom of the mountain, and it's on the main river and the main drug route, and is the major area for growing poppies. There's so much resistance because the people there don't want that to change."

The British mission has also been badly undermined by the failures of the Afghan government. Local leaders in Sangin have been weak, corrupt or linked to the drugs trade. Officers wrestle with fiendishly complicated local tribal politics.

As the death toll mounted, the political storm blew harder in Britain. The first row was over the availability of scarce helicopters to move troops and supplies into the stricken town.

Then Operation Panther's Claw, which began in June 2009, was billed as the big British push to clear the area from Sangin to Gereshk to the provincial capital, Lashkar Gah, of militants in time for Afghan elections later that year. In fact the map of the area has changed little in the intervening 12 months.

Last April, in the runup to the election, David Cameron offered to stop criticising Gordon Brown's government over Afghanistan if it pulled out of areas such as Sangin where the army was overstretched; he was rebuffed and told that "these are judgments for generals".

There are already more than 20,000 American troops in Helmand, twice the number of British soldiers deployed there, and they are also paying a heavy price. Last month four American troops died when their Black Hawk helicopter, on a mission to rescue wounded British soldiers, was shot down outside Sangin.

The second British officer today said the decision to pull out was "a good thing" from a soldier's point of view. "And from the bigger picture, as long as … somebody else is coming in, that's good. It's far too early to just pull out because it's not stable, but if the Americans are going to go in there then let them take the worry.

"We have paid an incredibly high price in Sangin. If you lose one soldier in one place, that's already too high a price to pay, but an awful lot of blood has been shed. So in that sense, I am pleased we will be leaving.

Iran attacks US Afghan role

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, has accused the US of playing a "double game" in Afghanistan, following talks in the country with his counterpart Hamid Karzai.

The accusation, made in the capital Kabul on Wednesday, was the same as that made against Iran by Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, on a trip to Afghanistan this week.

Asked at a news conference with Karzai about Gates' comments, Ahmadinejad responded: "The question is what are you [Gates and troops] doing here in this region?

"You are 12,000km away on the other side the of the world. What are you doing here? This is a serious question.

"They are not successful in their fight against terrorists, because they are playing a double game. They themselves created this excuse of terrorism themselves, and now they say that they want to stop them. It is not possible.

"The fight against terrorism is not a military one it requires the work of intelligence, through respecting nations and to separate people from terrorists."

'Double dealing'

While on a three-day visit to assess a US and Nato troop increase in the country, Gates had said that Tehran is "double dealing" in Afghanistan by stating that they are a good neighbour to Kabul while providing "low level support" to the Taliban.

Gates was on the last day of his visit in Afghanistan when Ahmadinejad arrived on Wednesday.

Ahmadinejad and Karzai had met to talk about "bilateral relations between the two countries and expansion of economic relations between the two countries", Siamak Hirawi, Karzai's spokesman, said.

Common concerns

Al Jazeera's James Bays, in Kabul, said, that until the issue of the US arose, the news conference mostly concerned regional co-operation.

"The two sides [Afghanistan and Iran] share a very long border," he said.

"They are both concerned about the Taliban and [the illegal trade in] opium."

It is the first meeting between Karzai and Ahmadinejad since they were both re-elected in disputed elections in 2009.

The US military invaded Afghanistan in 2001 to remove the Taliban, who they accused of supporting al-Qaeda operatives, from power following the September 11, 2001, attacks on the US of the same year.

Washington's forces remain in Afghanistan in an attempt to quell Taliban and al-Qadea attacks against Karzai's government.
