Islam doesn’t care about land or resources. Jihad is a holy war to them. He’s hardly correct.
Discussion
Many crusades were fought in the name of the holy. Of course it is about land and ressources — Whether it is to fight against occupied land, protect what was already acquired or expand.
It’s not of course. An occurrence of something does not prove a negative. The Quran teaches it is the responsibility of the Muslim to exact justice on the infidel.
Indoctrination is a hell of a drug.
Go read it. And the Hadithes.
I know exactly what they say. You have to remember that the person who has authority to declare Jihad is a head of State...
That’s asinine. The Quran was not written to “States”. And anybody with a following that is a believer of Islam can call for Jihad among his people. It is not some global authority recognition when Jihad is called for. If a man has a following and calls for Jihad, his following does not stand up and say, “No, no! You can’t because you’re not a state!” You have to remember… that the person who is able to read the Quran has autonomy. Move to Morocco and name your kid David, see what happens.
Fully aware that non nation states are declaring Jihad, of course but these croisades aren’t necessarily recognized by Islam as legitimate. The point I was making was in relation to the caliphate or state and their inherent interest in land/ressources. I suppose we can agree to disagree 🫂
You just got done writing that it is the States that declare Jihad because they have authority? You’re saying two different things.
And to say that the actions of some that declare Jihad aren’t “recognized by Islam” is nonsensical. There is no elected voice to speak on behalf of Islam to say, “We don’t recognize that Jihad!”. That’s why you refer to the teaching of the Prophet Muhammad. And his teachings are that justice is to be exacted on the infidel by the followers of Islam.
There's such a thing as Islamic Law sir
Haha this will be good. And where does Islamic Law come from?
