The
commands of God (Holy Quran) is in our hands.
Why do we pay attention to the opinions and commands of
others?
What do you call this?
Dear friends, There are some people
who have never read the Holy Quran
and without having a minimal level
of understanding of this Book and its structure,
they are constantly looking for some
verses in the Holy Quran to prove their false point of view.
They make allegations against Quran
by taking some verses completely out of its context.
Such deliberate misinterpretations
are nothing but a cheap shot.
In Islam
not only normal friendship with non-Muslims is not
prohibited, but also Muslims are specifically encouraged
to deal justly and compassionately
with those who do not fight with them and who do not drive
them out of their homes and lands.
As a matter of fact, One can come to
the conclusion that,
Islam does condemn
violence against innocent non-Muslims who don’t initiate an
attack against Muslims:
“God does not forbid you, with regard to those who do not
fight you for (your) faith, nor drive you out of your homes;
from dealing kindly and justly with
them; for God loves 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).
Whoever seeks such protection, they are the unjust.” (Ch.60,
V8, V9).
I strongly suggest these people read
the articles written by Mr. Bazargan and Dr. Gilani in this
site;
“Quran
and Violence - Allegations against the Quran” & “Do
you know what Islam is about?” - Hassan Zamanzadeh
