[QUOTE="namjiwankaur, post: 173779, member: 13793"] In what ways are Bawa and al-Qaeda "mainstream" Muslims according to your understanding? There are 1.5 billion Muslims and 23 million Sikhs. Could that be part of the equation? For the conversation to be balanced, we should include the fact that Sikhism has its own terrorist and extremist groups (though I have no interest in degrading Sikhism by spending time on Sikh terrorism. I think they exist despite Sikhism not because of it). [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikh_extremism[/url] [url]http://rivr.sulekha.com/list-of-sikh-terrorist-groups_417504_blog[/url] Should I therefore assume that the majority of Sikhs support Sikh terrorists? [I]The people of Syria are Muslims suffering from a corrupt government that forgets what Muhammad taught about the ummah (Muslim community). 'And hold fast , all of you together to the rope of Allah , and do not seperate' (Quran 3:103) 'Te believers are naught else than brothers. Therefore make peace between your brethren and observe your duty to Allah that haply ye may obtain mercy' (49:10)[/I] [I]Prophet Muhammed said "You shall not enter Paradise until you believe; and you will not bellieve until you love one another. Shall I not guide you to a thing? Which when done , will make you love one another: Spread the greeting of Salam among you"- (Muslim)[/I] Ego is the cause of all violence. [I]So they are not enemies because they are Muslims practicing Islam. They are Muslims who are NOT practicing Islam. [/I] And as an oppressed people, all Muslims are obligated to stand up to their oppressor. Muhammad said, “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is oppressed.” The Prophet was asked: “It is right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” He replied: “By preventing him from oppressing others.” {Bukhari} What there shocked you? What was so shocking about his message? I'm not sure what you mean. Would you tell me how long you spent at the site? And how many of the books you read? What is your definition of "mainstream" Islam? Maybe that will help me understand where you are coming from? Where did you find doublespeak? How were you disappointed? Frankly, I am not so sure. But you don't have to enjoy them. Post away. I am just defending those who are innocent of what you have accused them of. [I]We should reflect upon each thing in a state of love. Our love should be fragrant. Our every word should bring sweetness to the heart and be tasty to the tongue. Our every gaze should bring peace and happiness to others. We should have the kind of embrace that draws all children to our hearts with love. We have nothing else to give others, only our hearts. When we give our hearts, we emit that love. At once, people’s hunger will cease and they will be filled with love, compassion, and a beautiful taste. We may not have water or food to give, we may be starving too, but we are not without love and compassion. As soon as we talk to others, and give them love and compassion, their tiredness, sadness, and worry will leave them. Then we can offer them some water, and they can drink it and be refreshed. Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) To Die Before Death:The Sufi Way of Life, p. 221[/I] Nam Jiwan peacesignkaur [/QUOTE]
