"Strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, 'We are Christians': because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (The Noble Quran, 5:82)"
Islamic Pro-Attack: "O ye who believe! the law of equality is prescribed to you in cases of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman. But if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a Mercy from your Lord. After this whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty. (The Noble Quran, 2:178)"
Islamic Pro-Attack: "We ordained therein for them: "Life for life, eye for eye, nose or nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." But if any one remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for himself. And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what God hath revealed, they are (No better than) wrong-doers. (The Noble Quran, 5:45)"
Islamic Pro-Attack: "And if ye punish, then punish as ye were punished (by them). But if ye show patience, that is indeed the best (course) For those who are patient. (The Noble Quran, 16:126)"
Islamic Anti-Attack: "It may be that God will grant love (and friendship) between you and those whom ye (now) hold as enemies. For God has power (over all things); And God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for God loveth those who are just. God only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong. (The Noble Quran, 60:7-9)"
Islamic Anti-Attack: "On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. (The Noble Quran, 5:32)"

Muslim lands, and treats everyone
equally.

- How do Jews and Muslims view Jesus? See the hatred of the Jews to Jesus from their
Holy Scripture, the Talmud.
- The Jews had Zionised Christianity. They scare Christians with the "end of times battle"
lie against the "Gog and Magog" army. See how Islam has the
Truthful claims regarding
this issue, and how historical discoveries and events confirm Islam and not
their lies that
they inserted under the so-called "Book of Revelation" in the
Bible. See quotes from the
NIV Bible itself that confirm the invalidity of the Book of Revelation.

Introduction:
Because I have received more than 30 angry emails from angry American Christians on the FIRST day of my post of this article, I want to make sure that you understand well how Islam views what you call today "Terrorism".
When you read this article, you will learn that (1) Islam honors the human life and considers it sacred; (2) Islam does have the "a life for a life" punishment for the enemies of Islam, but has prescribed limits unto whom the Muslims can kill and warned against transgressing those limits; (3) See the controversial issue regarding the attack on the US, since the airplanes and the buildings had Children, Elderly and Muslims in them; (4) Islam prohibits the killing of non-Muslims living in Muslim lands; (5) ISLAM ORDERS THE MUSLIMS TO FORGET AND FORGIVE IF THE ENEMY SEEKS PEACE WITH THE MUSLIMS!; (6) Islam also orders the Muslims to repel evil with good; (7) Islam also commands the Muslims to offer peace to the enemy, so that the enemy can become a friend.
It is not who did it! It is why it was done that really matters!
All of the evidence that we have so far as of Thursday 9/13/2001 point to Muslim fundamentalists (who don't necessarily have to belong to Osama Bin Laden's group) that they committed the suicide attack on the US.
Well, you have to ask yourself the simple question: "What is it that our government did to those people that drove them to commit such a big attack against us?"
Well, I believe in the philosophy that says: "A picture is worth a thousand words". Therefore, let me present few pictures for you that should shed some light upon you:
These pictures were taken from The Iraqi Infants infected by the US Uranium Bombs or Deplete Uranium Bombs.
See also: Rebuttal to those who claim that Deplete Uranium is not equal to small Atomic bombs.
The United States during the Persian Gulf war had used the "Uranium Bombs" or "Deplete Uranium Bombs" which are equivalent to small atomic bombs (smaller than the ones used on Japan during W.W.II, but have the same effects of devastation) on some of the cities in Iraq.
I would like to ask you if these pictures of the Iraqi babies were pictures of American babies instead. Would you still feel the same way about them?
Please be honest to GOD when you answer this to yourself.
Also, the Israeli's use their high tech American weapons to intentionally bomb civilians. Let us look at few pictures:
These pictures were taken from Israeli tortures to Palestinian Civilians.
Israel was supposed to pull out of West Bank and Gaza stripe after the Oslo agreement in 1991. It is year 2001 now and they have only withdrawn from 22 percent of the lands!
On top of that, the US had been constantly providing them with the US highest tech weapons. This supports the Israelis' aggression against the Palestinian civilians.
The Israelis bomb civilians and destroy crops in many acres of the land, and kill cattle and other animals that the Palestinians use to aid them to survive.
So don't blame the Muslims when they view the US and Israel as the worst enemies to Islam. You should at least understand where they are coming from.

Does Islam really encourage Muslims to take revenge?
Forgiveness and revenge in Islam. There is a difference between being a peaceful person, and a coward hypocrite in Islam.
So, who's to blame?
As always, it is the top politicians who do the stupid decisions and the civilians end up paying the dearest price for it. Just like the Iraqi people had paid for the price of their dictator who imposed a bloody war upon them, and long years of sanctions that caused the death of approximately 50 thousand children per year for lack of medicine and thousands of other civilians in Iraq for the 10 years of long economic sanctions according to the US and UN sources [1] [2] [3], the Americans on 9/11/2001 had also suffered a similar consequence because of their government and its international policies.
In the case of Iraq, which one of the many cases against the US international policies, the war was excessive on the Iraqi people, because of the use of the Uranium bombs or the Deplete Uranium bombs on the civilians. And the sanctions on the Iraqi people that ONLY HURT the Iraqi people and not the dictator were also excessive from the American Government.
That's why the US is hated today in the Middle East! It is always you and me who pay for the scums that rule us.

Does Islam really encourage Muslims to take revenge?
Forgiveness and revenge in Islam. There is a difference between being a peaceful person, and a coward hypocrite in Islam.
Does Islam really justify Terrorism? Why do Terrorists always find justifications in Islam?
It is important to know that all innocent lives are equal in Islam. There is no difference between the rich and the poor, the man and the woman, the free and the slave. All are equal in the eyes of Allah Almighty:
"...if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people...(Noble Quran 5:32)"
"Those who invoke not, with God, any other god, nor slay such life as God has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment. (But) the Penalty on the Day Of Judgement will be doubled To him, and he will dwell Therein in ignominy. (The Noble Quran, 25:68-69)"Here the above Noble Verses, we see that if you kill one innocent soul (whether it was a Muslim soul or not), then it is like committing a crime against all people. We also see that Allah Almighty considers the innocent soul as a "sacred" soul. Notice that Allah Almighty will double the punishment for those who commit murders against any innocent souls.
Let us look at more analysis for Noble Verses 25:68-69 above:
"Here three things are expressly condemned: (1) false worship, which is a crime against Allah; (2) the taking of life; which is a crime against our fellow creatures; and (3) fornication, which is a crime against our self-respect, against ourselves. Every crime is against Allah, His creatures, and ourselves, but some may be viewed more in relation to one than to another. The prohibition against taking life is qualified: "except for just cause": e.g., in judicial punishment for murder, or in self-preservation, which may include not only self-defense in the legal sense, but also the clearing out of pests, and the provision of meat under conditions of Halal (lawful acts)." [3]
So how come "Terrorists" use Islam as a justification then?
The Noble Quran like the Bible has laws for wars. "A life for a life" exists in both the Noble Quran and the Bible. Jews, Christians and Muslims can not deny this fact:
"We ordained therein for them: "Life for life, eye for eye, nose or nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." But if any one remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for himself. And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what God hath revealed, they are (No better than) wrong-doers. (The Noble Quran, 5:45)"
"The retaliation is prescribed in three places in the Pentateuch, viz., Exod. 21:23-25; Leviticus 24:18-21, and Deut. 19:21. The wording in the three quotations is different, but in none of them is found the additional rider for mercy, as here (i.e., in the Noble Quran). Note that in Matt. 5:38, Jesus quotes the Old Law "eye for eye." etc., and modifies it in the direction of forgiveness, but the Qur'anic injunction is more practical. This appeal for mercy is as between man and man in the spiritual world. Even where the injured one forgives, the State or Ruler is competent to take such action as is necessary for the preservation of law and order in Society. For crime has a bearing that goes beyond the interests of the person injured: the Community is affected: see (Noble Verse) 5:32." [2].
"O ye who believe! the law of equality is prescribed to you in cases of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman. But if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a Mercy from your Lord. After this whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty. (The Noble Quran, 2:178)"
Notice in Noble Verse 2:178, we clearly see that if the enemy kills people from us, then we must kill the same amount from them. If they kill one man, then we have to kill one man, if they kill one woman, then we have to kill one woman, if they kill one slave, then we have to kill one slave, etc...
Please visit The laws for murder in Islam.
Also, the Muslims have the right to punish the enemy as the enemy punished them. So if for instance, the US decides to bomb a Muslim country with a Nuclear bomb, then the Muslims would then be allowed to use the same mass-killing weapon on the Americans, regardless of how many casualties it might cause:
"And if ye punish, then punish as ye were punished (by them). But if ye show patience, that is indeed the best (course) For those who are patient. (The Noble Quran, 16:126)"
If the enemy however inclines toward peace, then Muslims must forgive and forget:
"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)"
And if a treaty of peace was made, then we must honor that treaty to the end:
"Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If God had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then God Hath opened no way for you (to war against them). (The Noble Quran, 4:90)"
"How can there be a league, before God and His Apostle, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for God doth love the righteous. (The Noble Quran, 9:7)"
In the case of the US and Israel, no, it's not going to take 1.5 million American and Israeli lives to make peace and end the bloody conflicts. According to Noble Verses 8:61, 4:90 and 9:7 above, it is clear that if both the Muslims and the enemy agree on peace, regardless of how many people died from either or both sides, then Allah Almighty commands the Muslims to go along with the peace and to forget and forgive, and to honor any peace treaty made.
This is further supported at the "Islam commands the Muslims to offer peace to the enemy, so that the enemy can become a friend" sub section below, where you will see a listing of all of the Noble Verses that support offering and making peace with the enemy regardless of how many lives were lost, because Allah Almighty Loves those who forgive and forget, and offer and make peace first with the enemy.
The US and Israel have yet to make real peace with the Muslims. They have yet to care for the innocent civilians that they are killing with their arrogance and high tech weapons.
Don't forget to read the "Islam commands the Muslims to offer peace to the enemy, so that the enemy can become a friend" sub section below in this article.
Muslims are prohibited, however, to kill people in churches or temples. They are also prohibited to kill ill people (i.e., people in hospitals). They are also prohibited to kill children and elderly. They are even prohibited from killing enemy soldiers who are not carrying weapons! Allah Almighty said:
"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors. (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"
The "limits" here in this Noble Verse were explained by our beloved Prophet peace be upon him to be the conditions that I described above before Islam's first battle, the battle of Badr. Our Prophet peace be upon him instructed the Muslims to not kill women, children or elderly. He also instructed them to not harm any tree or destroy any crop. He also instructed them to not kill any animal. He also instructed them to not kill any enemy soldier who is not carrying a weapon or has dropped his weapon.
Women as I mentioned are defined as part of the "limits" by our beloved Prophet, but in the case of Noble Verse 2:178, where the enemy had started the killing of women, they become excluded from the prescribed "limits".
Under no circumstances is the killing of children or the elderly allowed in Islam. Nor is allowed the harming of any plants or animals that belong to the enemy.
The Israelis today on the other hand destroy crops in many acres of the land, and kill cattle and other animals that the Palestinians use to aid them to survive.
As I mentioned above, it was the US who started the bloody wars with the Muslims. It was the US who killed people from the Muslims first. And it is the US that supports the state of Israel's aggression against the unarmed Palestinians.
But according to Islam, Muslims MUST NOT start the killing! The enemy has to start it with us first!
Again, please don't forget to read the "Islam commands the Muslims to offer peace to the enemy, so that the enemy can become a friend" sub section below in this article.

Does Islam really encourage Muslims to take revenge?
Forgiveness and revenge in Islam. There is a difference between being a peaceful person, and a coward hypocrite in Islam.
The airplanes and the buildings had Children, Elderly and Muslims in them. How can the attack be Islamicly justified then?
The airplanes carried children, elderly and even Muslims in them! The buildings too had children (day care centers), elderly and even Muslims in them. In the section above, we clearly saw how Allah Almighty and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him forbade the Muslims during war time from killing women, children, elderly, animals, enemy soldiers who are not carrying weapons or dropped their weapons, and harming any tree or destroying any crop.
Well, this is the controversial part of it. Below is a typical debate between Muslims regarding the attack. I presented both sides' views so that you as a reader can look at the Islamic reasons of both sides and judge for yourself:
Favoring Views: The Muslims who see justifications in Islam for the attack would argue that the only means the suicide attackers had was to highjack the airplanes and attack the US. The US is a country that is very powerful militarily. It is impossible for the suicide attackers to wage a war against the US in any other way.
It is the US that terribly punished other Muslim nations before. So, to the suicide attackers, the US had to be "severely" punished, even if this means taking some innocent victims such as the children, elderly and Muslims (The attackers probably met some of them on the airplanes). To them, it's not like they intentionally went and blew up a Church or a hospital (which are sites that are prohibited in Islam to harm). To them, they tried as much as possible to avoid hurting the innocent. Allah Almighty Said:
"O ye who believe! the law of equality is prescribed to you in cases of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman. But if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a Mercy from your Lord. After this whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty. (The Noble Quran, 2:178)"
Here in this Noble Verse, we clearly see that if the enemy kills people from us, then we must kill the same amount from them. If they kill one man, then we have to kill one man, if they kill one woman, then we have to kill one woman, if they kill one slave, then we have to kill one slave, etc...

Also as mentioned above, the Muslims have the right to punish the enemy as the enemy punished them. So if for instance, the US decides to bomb a Muslim country with a Nuclear bomb, then the Muslims would then be allowed to use the same mass-killing weapon on the Americans, regardless of how many casualties it might cause:
"And if ye punish, then punish as ye were punished (by them). But if ye show patience, that is indeed the best (course) For those who are patient. (The Noble Quran, 16:126)"
Opposing Views: The Muslims who see no justification in Islam, would argue that Allah Almighty ordered the Muslims to be just and kind to their enemies. Noble Verse 2:178 above would only apply to the US soldiers and government who killed and were responsible for the killing of innocent civilians. He, the Almighty, ordered them to only fight those who fight them, and to kill only those who kill from them. So the American Civilians who never did any harm to anyone should be excluded from the punishment:
"It may be that God will grant love (and friendship) between you and those whom ye (now) hold as enemies. For God has power (over all things); And God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for God loveth those who are just. God only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong. (The Noble Quran, 60:7-9)"
Also, the airplanes and the buildings had children, elderly (grand parents) and even Muslims in them, which to them shows that this attack can never be justified in Islam; "...if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people...(The Noble Quran, 5:32)" In this Noble Verse we clearly see that Allah Almighty honors all the innocent souls that He created. Killing any innocent soul is so hated by Allah Almighty that He considers it as a crime against all of Mankind.
Allah Almighty also said: "Those who invoke not, with God, any other god, nor slay such life as God has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment. (But) the Penalty on the Day Of Judgement will be doubled To him, and he will dwell Therein in ignominy. (The Noble Quran, 25:68-69)"
Here the above Noble Verses, we see that if you kill one innocent soul (whether it was a Muslim soul or not), then it is like committing a crime against all people. We also see that Allah Almighty considers the innocent soul as a "sacred" soul. Notice that Allah Almighty will double the punishment for those who commit murders against any innocent souls.
Let us look at more analysis for Noble Verses 25:68-69 above:
"Here three things are expressly condemned: (1) false worship, which is a crime against Allah; (2) the taking of life; which is a crime against our fellow creatures; and (3) fornication, which is a crime against our self-respect, against ourselves. Every crime is against Allah, His creatures, and ourselves, but some may be viewed more in relation to one than to another. The prohibition against taking life is qualified: "except for just cause": e.g., in judicial punishment for murder, or in self-preservation, which may include not only self-defense in the legal sense, but also the clearing out of pests, and the provision of meat under conditions of Halal (lawful acts)." [3]
Note: Allah Almighty and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him forbade the Muslims during war time from killing women, children, elderly, animals, enemy soldiers who are not carrying weapons or dropped their weapons, and harming any tree or destroying any crop (as clearly shown above). How then can the attack be Islamicly justified then?
The suicide attackers are individuals and not governments. It is the responsibility of the Islamic governments to maintain the rights of their citizens and to wage a war on the US for their excessive punishment on some Muslim nations. Islam clearly PROHIBITS for individuals to bypass or ignore their government or ruling authority and to make up decisions.

What does the Qu'ran say about violence? Why does the Noble Quran contain Verses that command the Muslims to fight? See the justified and good reasons behind it.
Favoring Views: The people with the favoring views would argue that all of the Muslim nations today live under dictatorships. These dictatorships are supported by the US and the West, to help suck up the countries' money and pour it into the Western Countries' banks. This is a problem that most of the third world nations suffer from, and not just the Islamic nations. The dictators get their pay checks from the American CIA and other countries intelligence. And for those dictators who later oppose to the US and the West, such as Saddam Hussein, the US and the West would get rid of them.
Keep in mind that Saddam Hussein was 100% backed up by the US and the West during the Iran-Iraq war. So to the Islamic Fundamentalists, the current governments in the Islamic World are not to be followed, but to be destroyed.
Also, as to Noble Verses 60:7-9 and 5:32 above which clearly prohibit the killing of the innocent even from the enemy, they may not necessarily apply to the US today, because the US had caused the death of more than 1.5 million Iraqis, 500,000 of them were children [1] [2] [3].

If the enemy however inclines toward peace, then Muslims must forgive and forget:
"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)"
And if a treaty of peace was made, then we must honor that treaty to the end:
"Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If God had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then God Hath opened no way for you (to war against them). (The Noble Quran, 4:90)"
"How can there be a league, before God and His Apostle, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for God doth love the righteous. (The Noble Quran, 9:7)"
In the case of the US and Israel, no, it's not going to take 1.5 million American and Israeli lives to make peace and end the bloody conflicts. According to Noble Verses 8:61, 4:90 and 9:7 above, it is clear that if both the Muslims and the enemy agree on peace, regardless of how many people died from either or both sides, then Allah Almighty commands the Muslims to go along with the peace and to forget and forgive and honor any peace treaty made.
This is further supported at the "Islam commands the Muslims to offer peace to the enemy, so that the enemy can become a friend" sub section below, where you will see a listing of all of the Noble Verses that support offering and making peace with the enemy regardless of how many lives were lost, because Allah Almighty Loves those who forgive and forget, and offer and make peace first with the enemy.
The US and Israel have yet to make real peace with the Muslims. They have yet to care for the innocent civilians that they are killing with their arrogance and high tech weapons.
Opposing Views: But still, this doesn't in anyway allow for individuals to make such big decisions like this and take many innocent lives. As mentioned above, Islam prohibits for individuals to deal unjustly with their enemies. Islam also prohibits for individuals to ignore their ruling authorities and to declare things on their own. If the Muslims need to kill anyone, then they should kill those dictators that rule them, and fix their societies and make an Islamic democratic system, instead of killing innocent civilians.
Favoring Views: True. But, it appears that when a Muslim life is lost, no one really cares for it. And when an American life is lost, then it becomes a big deal. Since the Noble Quran teaches the "a life for a life" principle as shown above, then the attack is Islamicly justified. Your argument about only targeting US soldiers, or even targeting the US soldiers responsible for the killings of Muslim civilians is impossible for individuals like Osama Bin Laden, because there are no real Islamic States. All of what you see from what the West calls "Terrorism" is done by individual efforts.
It is just that the media is making it look like an evil act when the same media is ignoring the fact that their US government caused for more than 1.5 million Iraqi civilians to die from the Sanctions, 500,000 of them were children.

Opposing Views: The US and the West are not our "Role Models". Let Allah Almighty deal with their evil acts. We are not here in this life to judge people. We are only here to Worship Allah. Just because they did evil and caused for the death of 1.5 million Iraqis, 500,000 of them were children, doesn't mean that we should do the same thing to them if we get that opportunity such as blowing them with nuclear bombs. As we say it today, "two wrongs don't make a right."
Favoring Views: We don't have a True Islamic State. Don't blame individuals with limited capabilities for what they do. Explain why Osama Bin Laden gained so much sympathy and support from the Muslim nations and other third world non-Muslim nations after the Sept. 11 attack? It is because the Muslims world-wide are sick and tired of their governments and of being constantly oppressed by the US and the West.
Their countries, which are very rich in natural resources, such as Saudi Arabia with oil for instance, are very poor and the people are very poor. Only the US-supported dictators and their families have all the money. Yes, "two wrongs don't make a right", but that's not in the case of murder. When you are so oppressed, and your money is all taken away from you, and you are left starving, and your enemy is killing innocent from you and he refuses to make real peace with you, then fighting your enemy in anyway or fashion is the only option you have.
Perhaps those people who died on the Sept. 11 attack were all innocent and are probably now all in Heaven. May Allah Almighty rest their souls. But that doesn't mean that killing them under the circumstances that their government/country had created is not ok. Perhaps killing them is the wake up call that their US nation needs to hear the cry of the other oppressed nations by their US government.
Islam prohibits the killing of non-Muslims living in Muslim lands, and treats everyone equally!
It is prohibited to kill non-Muslims in Muslim lands or under the Islamic ruling. The Muslims have to pay taxes (which is 2.5 percent of their annual income) under the name of "Zakah" to the "Muslim Financial Institute" or the "House of the Muslim Money" which all goes to provide welfare to the poor and the needy citizens; from both Muslims and non-Muslims. The poor and the needy (such as the Orphans, Widows and the disabled) from the Muslims are exempt from paying taxes.
The non-Muslims have to pay the same amount under the name of "Jizyah", which is taxes that don't go to help poor and needy Muslims, but instead, it goes to the government to (1) Provide protection for them since they are a minority; (2) Provide means for them to practice their religions freely by building Temples or Churches for them.
The amount varied for the non-Muslims a little from cases to cases, but they were all close to the 2.5% of the annual income range.
Please be advised that many non-Muslims are exempt from the "Jizyah" or "taxes":
"Jizyah: the root meaning is compensation.......there were exemptions for the poor, for females and children (according to Abu Hanifah), for slaves, and for monks and hermits. Being a tax on able-bodied males of military age, it was in a sense a commutation for military service." [2]
It is important to know that the law in the Islamic State applies to everyone; both Muslims and non-Muslims equally. Meaning, that murderers and rapists get executed, adulterers and adulteresses get flogged 100 stripes, etc...
Muslim citizens are not superior over the non-Muslim citizens in the Islamic State. All people are treated equally as far as the Islamic Law is concerned.
If Muslims conquered a State by a war, then only those who fought the Muslims are to be taken as slaves. But then later, they must be given their freedom if they request it and be paid money too. Please visit:
Can a slave request his freedom from his Muslim Master and be granted his freedom in Islam? Yes. The Muslim Master must pay him/her money too to get a nice jump start in life too according to the Noble Quran.

Why does Islam have Jizyah (money paid by non-Muslims in the Islamic State)?
Islam orders Muslims to forgive and forget if the enemy wants peace!
I don't want Islam to sound like an infinite loop problem where if one Muslim innocently dies, then everything else falls into pieces, and wars break!
No, we have to know that Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran ORDERED the Muslims to forgive and forget what the enemies did in the past, only if the enemy wants peace:
"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)"
And if a treaty of peace was made, then we must honor that treaty to the end:
"Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If God had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then God Hath opened no way for you (to war against them). (The Noble Quran, 4:90)"
"How can there be a league, before God and His Apostle, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for God doth love the righteous. (The Noble Quran, 9:7)"
In Noble Verses 8:61, 4:90 and 9:7, we clearly see Allah Almighty ordering us, the Muslims, to incline toward peace when the enemy inclines toward peace and to honor any peace treaty made. This proves that Islam is not a religion for wars, but for peace.
Please visit Does Islam really encourage Muslims to take revenge?
Forgiveness and revenge in Islam. There is a difference between being a peaceful person, and a coward hypocrite in Islam.
Islam commands the Muslims to offer peace to the enemy, so that the enemy can become a friend:
Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran commands the Muslims to return the evil that is done to them by others to not only with good, but with best, so that the enemy can become a friend:
Let us look at Noble Verse 41:34 "Nor can goodness and evil be equal. Repel (evil) with that is better: Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate!."
Let us look at Noble Verse 28:54 "Twice will they be given their reward, for that they have persevered, that they avert evil with good, and that they spend (in charity) out of what We have given them."
Let us look at Noble Verse 13:22 "Those who patiently persevere, seeking the countenance of their Lord; establish regular prayers; spend out of (the gifts) We have bestowed for their sustenance, secretly and openly; and turn off evil with good: for such there is the final attainment of the (Eternal) Home."
Let us look at Noble Verse 23:96 "Repel evil with that which is best: We are Well-acquainted with the things they say."
Let us look at Noble Verse 42:40 "The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah) Loveth not those who do wrong."
It is quite clear from the above Noble Verses that Islam commands the Muslims to offer peace to the enemy, so that the enemy can become a friend.
Allah Almighty orders Muslims in the Noble Quran to allow total
freedom of choice to people and to never try to force them into Islam; "Let there be no compulsion (forcing others) 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 Noble Quran prohibits Muslims to force any person
into Islam. Muslims must not let people resent Islam and Muslims. They must
leave people decide for themselves because the "Truth stands
out clear from error...(2:256)"
Compulsion is incompatible with religion: Because (1) religion depends upon faith
and will, and these would be meaningless by force; (2) Truth and Error have been so
clearly shown up by the mercy of Allah Almighty that there should be no doubt in the minds
of any persons of good will as to the fundamentals of faith; (3) Allah Almighty's
protection is continuous, and His Plan is always to lead us from the depths of darkness
into the clearest light.
In the above Noble Verses, we clearly see that Allah Almighty orders the Muslims to be forgiving to the enemies and to make peace and peace making their top priority. It is part of the Muslim's morals to be a peaceful person.
Muslims start their greetings with "As'salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allah Wa Barakatuh", which means in English "May GOD's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you."
This is indeed the beautiful religion of Islam. Please visit Good manners in Islam to see ample Noble Verses that order the Muslims to repel evil with good.

The Bible has the worst cruelty!
This section is to the folks who emailed me expressing their anger/concerns regarding what they called "cruelty" in Islam. Well, I didn't really wish to compare the Bible to the Noble Quran here in this article, but since the Noble Quran was attacked and called a "cruel" Book, then I would like to ask my Christian friends to consider the following from the Bible:
Let us look at Numbers 31:17 "Now kill all the boys [innocent kids]. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
Also, let us look at Numbers 31:35-40 "[From the captives of war] 32,000 women who had never slept with a man.......of which the tribute for the LORD was 32 [virgin women]."
Why kill the innocent children? Why kill all of the non-virgin women? Back then, it was only men who fought men in wars. Women rarely fought in battle fields. So what crime did the innocent children and the non-virgin women do?
This verse was sent to me by Yusif 65; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him: "But after they had moved it, the LORD's hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic. He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Samuel 5:9)"
"tumors" was defined as "with tumors in the groin." This is verified at this link.
Why torture the enemies by destroying their groins?
We are not even sure that the books of "Numbers" and "1 Samuel" are GOD's Divine Words. Let us look at what the NIV Bible's Theologians had to say about them:
The Book of Numbers:
"It is not necessary, however, to claim that Numbers came from Moses' hand complete and in final form. Portions of the book were probably added by scribes or editors from later periods of Israel's history. For example, the protestation of the humility of Moses (12:3) would hardly be convincing if it came from his own mouth. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 183)"
So in reality, we don't know who were all the authors who wrote the book of Numbers. How is it possible then to call the book of Numbers the True Living Revelations of GOD Almighty if the book had been tampered with by the man-made laws of the scribes?
As you clearly saw in Jeremiah 8:8 in the introduction above, GOD Almighty condemned the laws of the scribes and accused them for turning the Bible into a lie.
The books of 1 and 2 Samuel:
"Many questions have arisen pertaining to the literary character, authorship and date of 1,2 Samuel."
"Who the author was cannot be known with certainty since the book itself gives no indication of his identity."
(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 368).
Again, unknown books with unknown authors had been inserted into the Bible and are now considered GOD's Revelations. What a joke! Since when do we consider man-made stories and narrations as GOD's Revelations?
(www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm) Please visit the link to see the NIV Bible Book's Bibliography in case you wish to order it.
Please visit Why did Muhammad take up arms and Christ didn't? Why did Islam spread by the sword if it were indeed a Religion of Truth, and Christianity didn't? See my response to this misunderstanding. Jesus killed his enemies in the Bible?
Important Note: No where in the Noble Quran do we see any mention or direct order of killing children and women and saving the virgin women only for pleasure. Where in the Noble Quran do we see GOD torturing His enemies by destroying their groins? So if you wish to get upset from the Noble Quran, then you should do worse to the Bible that you supposedly believe in.
Is this fair?
How do Jews and Muslims view Jesus?
Please visit The blessed Jesus in Islam.
Please visit the Jews' offensive views on Jesus, Mary, Women and People section. Quotes from their Talmud Holy Scripture: "Jesus' mother was a whore".......Jesus is burning in hell in "boiling hot semen."
The detailed references of these quotes and many more are all listed in the articles of the section.
The Jews had Zionised Christianity:
The NIV Bible's book information (bibliography) that I used is located at the end of this section.
It is a common Christian answer to say "We support Israel because it is God's promised land to the Jews, and He will prevail them against the army of Gog and Magog in the battle of Armageddon who seems to be mainly an Islamic army today." They mostly rely on the Book of Revelation from the Bible to support this claim.
Well, it is important for us to know that the entire Bible is corrupted and unreliable and is mostly filled with man-made laws and corruption! GOD Almighty Said: "`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
In either translation, we clearly see that the Jews had so much corrupted the Bible with their man-made cultural laws, that they had turned the Bible into a "lie"!
See Also Deuteronomy 31:25-29 where Moses peace be upon him predicted the corruption/tampering of the Law (Bible) after his death. The Book of Moses predicted that the Law (Bible) will get corrupted. The Book of Jeremiah which came approximately 826 years after did indeed confirm this corruption.
Please visit Just who were the real authors of the Bible? See detailed quotes for every book and gospel in Bible from the NIV Bible's Historians and Theologians that confirm the corruption and unreliability of the Bible.
There are however some parts in the Bible whom the Muslims believe are closest to the Truth.
The story of the Gog and Magog army attacking the Jews exists in both the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation in the Bible. The Book of Ezekiel which came literally thousands of years before the Book of Revelation predicted the attack and defeat of the army of Gog and Magog.
The Noble Quran (The Muslims' Holy Scripture) talks about the army of Gog and Magog in details and explains the events that ALREADY took place. There had been historical discoveries that perfectly match the Noble Quran's claims regarding the Gog and Magog, such as the discovery of the "Iron Gates", and other literature that mentions the Gog and Magog army and location. There is even historical documentation about them which matches the Noble Quran in London, England.
Please visit The army of Gog and Magog and the Iron Gates in the Noble Quran and the Bible to see the references and proofs of these historical discoveries and several more.
The lie (sorry to say that) of the Book of Revelation, however, also predicts the coming of the army of Gog and Magog. But as I said, the army of Gog and Magog were ALREADY predicted in the Bible thousands of years before the Book of Revelation.
So, the prediction in the Book of Revelation proves that the writer of the book, lacked a great deal of knowledge about history, because as I said, the event of the Gog and Magog battle (i.e., the battle of Armageddon) already happened!
Anyway, the NIV Bible's Theologians and Historians do not think that the book of revelation is a valid book. They think it was invented by someone who was not a Prophet nor a Messenger of GOD Almighty.
The following is from my web site at www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm:
The Book of Revelation:
"Four times the author identifies himself as John (1:1,4,9; 22:8).....In the third century, however, an African bishop named Dionysius compared the language, style and thought of the Apocalypse (Revelation) with that of the other writings of John and decided that the book could not been written by the apostle of John. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1922)"
Again, we don't know who wrote the Book of Revelation. It is certainly highly doubtful that it was written by Apostle John. The Theologians and Historians of the NIV Bible seem to agree with the invalidity of this book from the above quote. So are you now going to consider the other John's words as the Words and Inspirations of GOD Almighty?
Notice that in the sections of "Gospel of John" and "Gospels of 1, 2 & 3 John" (in www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm), the author did not identify himself and it was ASSUMED without actual proofs that it was Saint John who wrote them. Notice how they said that if he were to identify himself, then it would be hard for them to explain it.
Now, notice the author in the Book of Revelation does identify himself as John, but he has a complete different language and style of writing from the other books, which created much uncertainty about its validity in the Church.
My questions here are: Who wrote the Books? And is or is not Saint John supposed to identify himself in his books? And where are his books that have his name on them?
Again, keep in mind that the NT was not even documented on paper until 150 to 300 years after Jesus (depending on what Christian you talk to). So the dating is way too long for us to be assuming books to belong to certain people. Let alone considering their nonsense (contents) as the True Living Words of GOD Almighty.
Please visit: Jesus the "Alpha and Omega".
Not only this quote doesn't prove Jesus as GOD, but it
was also written in a book that is unreliable in later bibles. In the original Bibles, the quote doesn't even exist!!
Arche of the
Creation of God as Alpha and Omega. The "Alpha
and Omega" doesn't even exist in the original Bibles! It's a
lie that was later inserted by trinitarians. See the historical proofs in the
article. If their site is down, then you can read the article at this link ON MY SITE.
The Book of Revelation is a very important, probably the most important Book in the Bible today, because it has prophecies in it of what Christians believe is for our future today, even though it has nothing to do with our current world. It talks about Jesus soon (1800 to 2000 years ago) will return (Revelation 22:7). I don't know how soon is 2000 years to the Bible. All the people that this book was told to had died.
It also talks about the great battle of Gog and Magog fighting the righteous; "and will go out to deceive the nations in the four
corners of the earth [The earth DOES NOT
have four corners and no the earth is not a square or rectangle. It is round almost
like an egg!!]--Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle. In
number they are like the sand on the seashore. (From
the NIV Bible, Revelation 20:8)"
The thing that we need to notice here beside the grave error about the shape of the earth
in this false book (sorry to say that), is that the Gog and Magog existed before.
Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (Ezekiel 39:1), is the name of the leader and
Magog is the name of his nation (Ezekiel 38 and 39). As I mentioned above, the Gog
and Magog army had already been defeated and the Noble Quran
confirms their story. There is even documentation about them in London, England.
Please visit The story of Gog and Magog and the Iron Gates in the Noble Quran and the Bible to see the references and proofs of these historical discoveries and several more.
The Bible says: The earth is flat! See all the verses in the Bible that claim the earth is flat.
The point is that the Book of Revelation, however, like most of the Bible today seems to be nothing but a big hoax (sorry to say that). It is very doubtful, but yet ironically, very important to the Christians of today.
Would you honestly deep inside yourself call nonsense of this kind the True Living Words of GOD Almighty, especially after knowing that very important early Christian resources thought "the book could not been written by the apostle of John"?

Why did the US fight Iraq from the first place then?! Why don't you blame Saddam Hussein? Why blame the US only?
I received many emails from some of my angry American readers criticizing me of being a "hypocrite" for not explaining why the US got involved into the war with Iraq from the first place that caused all of the destruction of the Iraqi innocent kids above, and why I failed to talk about the killing and raping that occurred by the Iraqis against the Kuwaiti civilians.
The answer is very simple: Saddam Hussein is not civilized, but the United States supposedly is. Also, Saddam Hussein did not order for the raping or robbing of any Kuwaiti. Those who did it were from the Iraqi people. But I do not recall hearing on the Arabic Satellite that the Iraqi government ordered for any bad things to happen. In fact, we heard several times that the Iraqi government urged the Iraqis to treat the Kuwaitis as normal Iraqi citizens for "Kuwait and its people are now back to their mother Iraq" as the Iraqi government used to claim.
Anyway, as I mentioned above, Saddam Hussein is not civilized. In fact, he is a butcher. He killed many innocent people in the past and put his country and people into terrible bloody wars.
But you know what, for the US to kill 1.5 million Iraqis, 500,000 of them were children makes the so-called "Civilized" United States worse than Saddam Hussein!
Please visit The many breeding grounds of terrorism. Chicago Tribune News Paper states that more than 500,000 Iraqi children have died from the Sanctions on Iraq.
Holocaust of the Iraqi people from the US and UN.
Rebuttal to those who claim that Deplete Uranium is not equal to small Atomic bombs.
What do you like to see the United States do in the Middle East?
I would like for the US to end the Middle Eastern conflicts by stopping to be so
obviously biased toward Israel. The US government had always put its innocent nation
in a position to be very
much disliked by other oppressed nations by the US government.
Take this example: Your government raised hell in the Middle East against Iraq, and caused the death of 1.5 million Iraqis, 500,000 of them were children from the sanctions, according to your own American resources [1] [2] [3] as I mentioned several times above. Saddam Hussein is still in power there. The US had destroyed the Iraqi people and not the Iraqi dictatorship regime. This is an obvious failure and oppression done by the US.
On the other hand, as far as the Arabs there are concerned, and please try to put yourself in their place for a second, Israel has worse weapons than Iraq. Ok, if you want to punish the Iraqi people and not the Iraqi government for having "illegal" or "unwanted" weapons, then how about taking those weapons from Israel as well?
And how about honoring the 1991 Oslo agreement which the US during the times of George Bush the father promised to honor the agreement and to push for the success of the peace in the Middle East. The Oslo agreement states that Israel must withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza Stripe. It is year 2001 and Israel only withdrew from approximately 22 percent. Not only that, but Israel had built more than 200,000 "illegal" homes as settlements throughout the remaining of the 78% of the land that they were supposed to withdraw from from the first place!
Please visit The many breeding grounds of terrorism to see the proof from reliable American Media sources.
Their idea is that the more settlements they build, the lesser lands the Palestinians will have to accept. The United States is supporting Israel and aiding them with weapons and Vetoing out any UN suggestions and objections toward Israel.
Take this example: The United Nations suggested to send UN troops to stand between the Israelis and the Palestinians to help prevent clashes between the two sides such as Israeli bombings on civilians and destruction of homes and crops, and Palestinian suicide bombing on Israel.
The countries that have the Veto power in the UN are: The US, Russia, China, Britain and France. It was only the US that used its Veto power to decline the ruling. Have the US accepted this suggestion from the UN, then we would've seen a much easier environment in Palestine and Israel. The reason why the US rejected the ruling and vetoed it out, is because Israel raised objection to it.
Ironically, Israel betrayed the US by selling US technology to Communist China. What a nice "wake up" slap on the face.
Is this fair? Is this right to do from the United States, the so-called country of "Civilization" and "Justice"? I'll let my intelligent readers answer this question to themselves.
As Marda Dunsky said: "We see freedom and the rule of law as the underpinnings of our way of life in the U.S., but we allow our government to conduct a foreign policy that obstructs liberty and justice beyond our borders. (The many breeding grounds of terrorism, by Marda Dunsky, Chicago Tribune News Paper, September 23, 2001, section 2, page 9)"

Conclusion:
It is sad that the American people lost innocent souls on 9/11/2001. But many other nations have lost many innocent souls from the US government's evil acts as well!!
May He, the Almighty, grant Paradise to every innocent and righteous soul as He mentioned in the Noble Quran: "O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes [this obviously includes all religions and cultures on Earth], that ye may know each other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted. (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"
May He, the Almighty, have mercy on the evil souls by punishing them and forgiving them afterwards as He said on the tongue of our Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him: Narrated Abu Huraira: "Allah's Apostle said, 'When Allah completed the creation, He wrote in His Book which is with Him on His Throne, 'My Mercy overpowers My Anger.' ' (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Beginning of Creation, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 416)"
Now regarding point #2 (a life for a life punishment), as mentioned above, Muslims are prohibited to kill people in churches or temples. They are also prohibited to kill ill people (i.e., people in hospitals). They are also prohibited to kill children and elderly. They are even prohibited to kill soldiers who are carrying no weapons.
You never heard of a suicide bomber in Israel entered a Jewish temple and killed all of the people there. IT NEVER EVEN HAPPENED ONCE! NOT EVEN ONCE! Even though, this is by far the easiest target!
In Islam, the Muslim state is responsible for providing the proper services and maintenance to the non-Muslims to practice their religions in their temples. There is no compulsion in religion in Islam.
