Time to lose some followers. This is about the Paris attacks and stuff. · 5:20am Nov 15th, 2015
Saw someone post this on social media.
Sounds good, right?
If only that is what he said.
"Anyone who kills a Non-Muslim who had become our ally will not smell the fragrance of Paradise." (Bukhari)

What about the ones who aren't allies? Do they not apply? I'm sure ISIS would not classify French people who are not Muslims as "allies." As such, to these barbaric extremist pieces of shit, they aren't actually breaking any rules.
And this:
Once again, I wish that was what the verse said. But it isn't, really.
Here's the whole thing is context:
5:27 But recite unto them with truth the tale of the two sons of Adam, how they offered each a sacrifice, and it was accepted from the one of them and it was not accepted from the other. (The one) said: I will surely kill thee. (The other) answered: Allah accepteth only from those who ward off (evil).
5:30 But (the other's) mind imposed on him the killing of his brother, so he slew him and became one of the losers.
5:31 Then Allah sent a raven scratching up the ground, to show him how to hide his brother's naked corpse. He said: Woe unto me! Am I not able to be as this raven and so hide my brother's naked corpse ? And he became repentant.
5:32 For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.
Sounds good, right? Only, unfortunately, this passage in context is only talking about the prescription given by Allah to the Jews in the past. It does NOT apply to Islam, as evidenced by the very next verses.
5:33 The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom;
5:34 Save those who repent before ye overpower them. For know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
5:35 O ye who believe! Be mindful of your duty to Allah, and seek the way of approach unto Him, and strive in His way in order that ye may succeed.
5:36 As for those who disbelieve, lo! if all that is in the earth were theirs, and as much again therewith, to ransom them from the doom on the Day of Resurrection, it would not be accepted from them. Theirs will be a painful doom.
5:37 They will wish to come forth from the Fire, but they will not come forth from it. Theirs will be a lasting doom.
5:38 As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Look, I understand. I KNOW that all Muslims are not to blame. I KNOW that there are countless Muslims standing in solidarity with France over these atrocities. And I KNOW that they are, each and every one of them, genuine in their condemnation of the actions that have taken place.
But please, for the love of all that is good and green on this earth, PLEASE address that these ISIS militants are, at least to some extent, justified by the Quran as it is in print today. This book is NOT one of peace. And before you ask, YES, I have read the Quran.
This has been a ridiculously unpopular opinion with Arwhale. After I make this post, fuck my life, I guess. 
It must be noted that she doesn't quite answer the question as it's posed, but the lady in this video makes a fantastic point.
ISIS, the worst fandom ever.

Yes, she does.
Fantastic video. Don't know how I never saw it before.

Agreed 100%.

Dang.
Just in case:
ISIS/Terrorists != Muslims.
The "No True Scotsman" philosophy has its place here. If I have members in my own religion that kill innocent people (and that even despite that neither my religion nor the god I believe in tells them they have to if they don't wanna end up in hell) and put me and my own people into a bad light with that, then why should I associate with them? I shouldn't. I kick them, they are not deemed part of my religion anymore and can found their own religion of mass murders and executions if they like.
With how they lay out what the Quran says in their favor to justify what they do ("It's not my fault, the Quran told me so!"), it might as well be an own religion what ISIS and terrorists in general do.
Oh no. If there is some rassistic or anti-muslim intention behind this blog entry, you're not going to lose any followers, at least not me.
You will only lose my respect as a person. In the end, I started to follow you for the stories you write, and if your attitude turns out as questionable, I will continue to follow you for the stories you write. But you probably can't expect communication in the future then.
But this entry isn't meant rassistic or anti-muslim. Right?

"No True Scotsman" is not a philosophy. It's a logical fallacy.
ISIS terrorists are Muslims. The Taliban are Muslims. Westboro Baptist Church goers are Christians. The abortion clinic bombers were Christians.
Other people are Muslims as well, though. Take Benazir Bhutto, for instance. Or Maajid Nawaz. Or like, every single Muslim person I've ever personally met in the USA. And the thing that all of these people have in common is that they are Muslims... and that they do NOT support violence in the name of Islam, Muhammad, Allah, or anything else. These people are people that I would have no problem being friends with. They are people that are truly peaceful. You I would include in this group (assuming you're a Muslim? Correct me if I'm wrong!).
I saw a comment recently that puts into words my thoughts better and more concisely than I could do myself:
i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah93/Arwhale/best%20quote%20ever_zpszpz8ouew.png
Holding up a book as an infallible document and the words of Allah himself spoken through the prophet, has the potential to do a lot of damage depending on what is written in that book. The unfortunate fact is that the same book that truly peaceful Muslims claim to follow and uphold as the infallible word of God, is also used by ISIS and other terrorist organizations to justify their own evil deeds. Deeds which peaceful Muslims genuinely oppose.
Basically, all I wanted to say in this blog is that ISIS does do the things that they do for religious reasons, and they do so with passages from the Quran and the various Hadiths (the Bukhari, most prominently) which support their actions when those passages are taken both literally and prescriptively. I've heard so many people say that "ISIS attacks have nothing to do with religion!!!!" which is a bold-faced lie.
I will assume you meant "racist" when you said "rassistic".
Racist? Absolutely not. Islam is an ideology, not a race. Criticizing an ideology or a culture is not criticizing a race, and what I said in this blog is not bigoted. I criticized the Quran and its contents, and the Quran is central to the culture in the majority Muslim world.
Criticizing the contents of a book that has inspired countless acts of violence is not a bigoted thing to do.
And as for whether or not my post was "anti-muslim," I will say this: I am only against those Muslims(or non-Muslims, come to think of it) that support the kinds of violence that ISIS and other terrorists organizations like Boko Haram or Al-Shabaab do (for a non-Muslim example, BlackLivesMatter and their hideous #FuckParis on Twitter comes to mind), whether that support be physical, financial, or merely vocal. I am also opposed to those Muslims or non-Muslims that wish to curtail free speech in democratic societies all around the world through threats and violence, as well as opposed to those Muslims and non-Muslims that support such policies as stoning adulterers, cutting the hands off of thieves, and forcing women to wear hijabs whether they want to wear them or not.
I am NOT against those Muslims(or non-Muslims) that condemn such ideas and truly desire peace in the world.
