‘’Slay them whenever you may come upon them, and expel them from where they had expelled you for oppression (persecution) is worse than slaughter; but fight them not near the scared Mosque, unless they fight you therein; but if they fight you therein; slay them. Such is the reward of unbelievers ’’.

“but if they desist, then God is all-forgiving , compassionate to each ’’. “fight them until persecution is no more; and religion is for War. But if they desist, then all hostility shall cease, except again those who wilfully do wrong ”.

‘’ A holy month will substitute for a holy month, and sacrilege calls retaliation. Thus if anyone commits aggression against you; retaliate against him in the measure. But if fear God, and know that God is with those who are conscious of him ’’. …show more content…

    1220 Words  | 3 Pages

    Writers use rhetoric to communicate their specific point of view or argument in a speech or text. A reader analyzes the writer’s use of rhetoric to evaluate the effectiveness of the given argument or point of view. In his “Interfaith Prayer Vigil Address,” President Barack Obama argues the need for more restricted gun control by using emotional appeals to compassion and paternalism, collective diction, and structure, which reflect the influence of a school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

  • Lincoln Keiser's Friend by Day, Enemy by Night

    960 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Friend by Day, Enemy by Night” shares an in depth look into the lives of the Kohistanis who live in Thull, Pakistan. The author of the text, Lincoln Keiser, goes into great depth in explaining the life of these people before and after mar dushmani. Mar dushmani can be directly translated as “death enmity.” This social relationship between the Kohistanis causes for many problems. As a general principle death enmity allows men to retaliate whenever another man wrongs them, though the act of revenge itself should not exceed the original wrong. The example stated in the book is, “a blow should answer a blow and a death answer a death.” For such offenses as attacks on men through their wives, sisters, and daughters retaliation usually occurs in deadly violence. Killing the offender is considered the most appropriate response. Although violence usually takes place during retaliation, it is not the only way to handle it.

    With all the events which were occurring in the world, Urban had successfully chosen to launch the crusade at a time when the Christian West was ready to put a stop to the fighting in the East by eliminating all opposition to the Christians. It was also the perfect time for the Pope’s message of ‘guiltless, meritorious violence’. To an audience bred on fighting but fearful of hell the promise of an Indulgence was irresistible.

  • Bruce Sterling We See Things Differently Analysis

    The observations I’m making about the language here is God is the source of faith and belief for individuals. Each religion has their own beliefs and some are seen differently compared to other religions. The United States of America was founded on the belief in Christianity and God. On the other hand, Muslims base their beliefs off of Islamic religion and Allah. Sterling himself writes, “God is Great; men are mortal and err. If I have done wrong, let the judge of Men decide. Before His Will, as always, I submit” pg.629. The quote portrays the amount of respect and belief that the Muslims have for their god Allah. In many religions, the followers of the religion try to represent their God through themselves. Sterling states,“I have drunk wine several times, though the Koran forbids it” pg.628. As a follower of a religion, there is always going to be a book you refer to for scripture reading. For Christianity, it's the Bible and the Islamic religion it's the Koran. He drinks wine knowing that is against his religion but he claims his actions are all for his God. Sterling himself writes, “It is not that we value our lives lightly. But that we value God more” pg.629. Just like any other religion, there are different denominations that differ from the main religion. In the Muslim religion, there is a denomination called the Jihad. The Jihad is a radical group that performs suicide bombers said to be done for their

  • Unveiling Islam: What Muslims Believe, by Zainab Ali

    596 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Zainab Ali's book, "Unveiling Islam: What Muslims Believe," she explains the basic beliefs of a Muslim. She also elaborates on the images of Muslims in the media created by important leaders such as Saddam Hussein and Louis Farrakhan and how they contradict the Islamic belief. The writer then gives her explaination of these contradictions with respect to Islamic rules. She focuses on the rules of the faith - the five pillars of Islam - by provinding explanations, definitions, and examples. After an elaboration of each pillar, the writer explains the relevance of the pillars in life and the affects that the pillars have on the character of a true Muslim. She then compares this character to the characters of the Islamic leaders in the media to support her claim that people of the Islamic faith are not compatible with the images portrayed through the media. By making this claim, the author is trying to correct the misunderstandings of the Islamic faith and of the Muslim image by providing examples, explanations, and comparisons to define a "true" Muslim.

  • Rise Of Islam Essay

    1002 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fear, instilled into our brains through violence and driven by a leader with a purpose. The rise of Islam is driven by fear, whether it be the fear of damnation through the divine or by the violence others bestow upon us. Gordon says, “History has shown repeatedly that ideas can provide powerful motivation for extraordinary deeds.” (11) Muslims are masters of using this fear/violence to make their religion dominant; Muhammad’s use of violence to spread the Muslim religion, how Muslim diplomacy leads to violence, and how it shaped our modern day views on the Muslim religion for the worse. In this paper, I want to show why the use of fear along with Muslim violence made Islam grow and expand at such a rapid rate.

  • Love: The Meaning Of Love In The World

    1173 Words  | 3 Pages

    Commonplace teachings in the Protestant religion display the sacrifices of God in love to ensure there is an afterlife for the human race. Though peaceful in nature, this loving teaching led to great wars, such as the Crusades to Jerusalem, among the different races and religions throughout history in Europe and Asia. Religious zealots often conducted different wars of love on their own population. In an effort to cleanse the sins of the wicked, tactics of torture and embarrassment such as public beatings, stoning, and shamed walks in the nude down city streets were just a few of the many undertakings of these extremists. Closer to the present day, we still find fanatical people from many countries giving the world their own special gift in the spirit of love through their religion. Bearing a heavy toll in this never ending battle, terrorists such as the recent suicide bombers in France continue to escalate their ideals and religious devotion of love to their

  • The Importance Of Religious Intolerance

    “God wanted the Christians to win. My Cid and his men made the Moors run.” (Pg.167) According to the Christians, divine fate was the reason for their success in the destruction of the Muslim’s land. The sheer force of God was the reason defeat over the Muslims came so easily. The Christians believed that God backed them because no other religion was a ‘true’ religion. The cruelty towards those of other religions by Christians came from the idea that they had God on their side and were working in God’s name. The treatment of the Muslims was satisfactory for the Christians because they believed they were carrying out God’s work. They deserved all the riches that they were rewarded because they followed the one true God. Intolerance is the inability
