Me:\u00a0 Those are beautiful flowers!<\/p>\n

Prodigal: Yes they are, and a perfect place to talk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book Beyond Opinion Living the Faith We Defend by Ravi Zacharias<\/p>\n

The Doctrine of Jihad<\/p>\n

Second is the doctrine of jihad, which evolved to apply to both the land of Islam and the land of war.\u00a0 In the land of Islam, the state is still vulnerable to attacks by Islam’s enemies and other religious and political groups.\u00a0 Hence, the means of population control and subjugation of opposition needed to be put in place.<\/p>\n

In the land of war, wars were fought by Muhammad and his followers; the so-called enemies of Allah were fought against and were subdued.\u00a0 Some of the pagans were spared on recitation of the creed and upon acceptance of the political and religious hegemony of Islam, or killed if the failed to do so.\u00a0 Only the Jews and Christians were given the choice to convert (revert) or to live a life of servitude and humiliation under strict Islamic regulations with their religious freedom stifled (Sura 9:29)<\/p>\n

I am sad to say that not only were millions and millions of people killed in those early Islamic conquests, but jihad in real terms has virtually never stopped.\u00a0 Today persecution is rife, and non-muslims have at best a token freedom for religious survival with severe penalties if they ever attempt to preach overtly or attempt to convert Muslims.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matthew 7:12<\/p>\n

Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.<\/p>\n
