Analyst's note: Koran (Qur’an) dilemmas are discussed in depth by a former Wahhabi Muslim, the concept of Islamic jihad is shown to be inextricably linked to Islam’s sacred texts. The authors and TheQuran.com group felt the need for others (non-Arabic readers) to be able to access the true teachings of the Quran and other classical Islamic sources without the need to consult with others who may have a biased view or hidden interest in harmonizing such contents.
"[....] By now we can see a pattern emerging, which instills hatred towards the West and its so-called Zionist agents, and to liberate Muslims from their oppression. In other words, to make Islam supreme. But where did all of these terror leaders get these ideas or inspirations from? They got them from the SOURCE, which is the Quran. The Quran is the foundation for all terror and radical groups and their activities.
So what does the Quran teaches regarding some of these terror group’s agenda? The following verses from the Quran should speak for themselves:
“You are the best of the nations raised up for -the benefit of- men; you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in Allah” Q 3:110“O you who believe! be careful of -your duty to- Allah with the proper care which is due to Him, and do not die unless you are Muslim” Q 3:102“I desire nothing but reform so far as I am able, and with non but Allah is the direction of my affair to the right and successful path; on him do I rely and to him do I turn” Q 11:88“. . . and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are the unbelievers” Q 5:44“. . . And a soul will not die but with the permission of Allah, the term is fixed” Q 3:145“. . . and -so far- those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no means allow their deeds to perish. He will guide them and improve their condition and cause them to enter the garden -paradise- which He has made known to them” Q 47:4-6“"so when you meat in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks..." Q 47:19“. . . slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. . .” Q 9:5“Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people. “ Q 9:14“Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection. “ Q 9:29“He it is Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth [Islam], that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse.” Q 9:33“. . . strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge indeed.” Q 9:73
With commands such as these, emanating from the Muslims’ most Holy book, the Quran, which is believed as the absolute word of Allah, DID WE REALLY WIN THE WAR ON TERROR by killing Bin Laden?
It may sound as if I am a pessimist. However, the point I am trying to raise here and bring to light, is that our issue is not with individuals such as Bin Laden. Our war is against an ideology found in a so-called divine book which inspires young men and women to kill themselves and others for one cause: to make Islam supreme. This is the same ideology that kept Islam surviving for 1,400 years via the use of violence against anyone who dares to stand against it.
The only way we can face this issue and deal with it, is by understanding the fuel behind it. This fuel can be found in the pages of the Quran.[....]
