Faith and Text

@oliverburdick Which part specifically? Because I read it and it made me realize Islam is more peaceful than I realize. 🙂

@AVGirl4Life With my life

Would you ever trust a Muslim?

@HarveyWhiner @MasterMaliq Listing battles without context is a Google search

@FaithAndText @MasterMaliq Battle of Badr (624 CE) Battle of Uhud (625 CE) Battle of the Trench (627 CE) Khaybar (628 CE) Hunayn (630 CE).

Ask any non-Muslim why they hate Muhammad . Watch them stutter, deflect, then say “he was a warlord” like they were there in 7th century Arabia. Bro, you’re just mad he’s the final messenger who brought the greatest book. Admit it.

@CalebAllen77 @MasterMaliq Show it then.

@FaithAndText @MasterMaliq I can show where he said have sex slaves is ok. What religion does that? Islam

The Meccans didn’t persecute Muslims? Sumayyah was killed for her faith and was the first martyr in Islam. Bilal was tortured. The Quraysh imposed a three year starvation boycott on the entire Hashimite clan. That’s not emigrating on their own volition. The rest of your argument is built on a foundation that just collapsed.

Meccans did not persecute Muslims out of their homes. They emigrated on their own volition and because of Mohammad’s insistence. At first he ordered his followers to immigrate to Abyssinia and then when he found enough disciples to Medina The Suran 8, from which the above verses are taken is called Al-Aanfal (spoils of war, booty) and it was written in conjunction with the Battle of Badr. This battle was a raid staged by Muhammad on a Caravan carrying the goods of the merchants of the Quraish from Syria to Mecca. These wars that Muhammad is mentioning were offensive wars initiated by Muhammad himself. In fact warthey were raids. They are known as Gazwah, which does not mean war but raid, ambush or sudden attack. Muhammad hardly ever announced his plans to attack his victims. This hadith makes it clear Ibn 'Aun reported: I wrote to Nafi' inquiring from him whether it was necessary to extend (to the disbelievers) an invitation to accept (Islam) before meeting them in fight. He wrote (in reply) to me that it was necessary in the early days of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made a raid upon Banu Mustaliq while they were unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed those who fought and imprisoned others. On that very day, he captured Juwairiya bint al-Harith. Nafi' said that this tradition was related to him by Abdullah b. Umar who (himself) was among the raiding troops.” Book 019, Number 4292: So the question becomes why would God need people to get booty and sex slaves? What kind of God is that?

People think Islam is violence. One who research islam understand that Islam is the most peaceful religion

BREAKING: Islam is in fact NOT a threat to America.

@PeriklesGREAT Can we normalize posting credible sources? Slapping the word Muslim on a blurry video screams propaganda.

Why are these Muslims so hateful to people who welcomed them as refugees?? NO GRATITUDE ? An elderly White woman, young muslim men are stomping her at a train stop.

"We never define crimes by religion, except when it's a Muslim." @mehdirhasan calls out the double standard in how hate crimes are framed by politicians and the media when they involve Muslims. "This is racism.... They pick on people who look visibly Muslim.”

The Muslims were persecuted, tortured, and expelled from Mecca for 13 years before a single battle. Their property was seized. Intercepting Qurayshi caravans after all of that isn’t banditry, it’s reclaiming what was taken. You listed the battles but left out everything that led to them. Context isn’t optional lol

Muhammad wasn't a warlord, neither did he fight wars, he mostly ambushed merchant caravans. He did Gazwa raids, With the exception of Uhud and Khandaq, all of them were Gazwa. The Battle of Badr was intended to be an raid against the caravan of the Quraish He robbed caravans, took spoils as booty (sura Anfal) and women as sex slaves 4:24

@Jaypee983726303 @MasterMaliq I said name a battle, a treaty, or a rule of war. You named zero of the three and ended with pigs. Thank you for being the exact example I was describing. 💀

@FaithAndText @MasterMaliq Did he lead war or not ? Didn't Aisha narrate her ordeal with him? Didn't he fit e ppl to religion and ask them to pay jizya? Pigs

These angry replies are interesting. People are mad that the mayor of NYC is doing a live interactive stream with constituents, which is… literally just transparency in government lol A Muslim in power being transparent and accessible doesn’t fit the narrative so it has to be attacked. Interesting how that works. 🙂

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani becomes the first elected official to launch a regularly occurring, multi-platform interactive streaming series. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@BernieSanders Imagine attacking police officers, getting convicted, and then getting paid for it. Now imagine if they were Muslim. The conversation would be very different.

Hundreds of police officers were brutally attacked, & some eventually died, defending our democracy from January 6th insurrectionists. How does Trump respond to their courage & dedication? By creating a $1.8B slush fund for the rioters who tried to kill them. Not gonna happen!

islamophobe bots were out in full force last night or what? lmao

We need to demand that the federal government keeps Islam of its religious status. Islam is a religion, it is not a totalitarian political ideology hellbent on conquering the entire world.

It seems like you’re projecting your experience with the Iranian regime or something because what you’re saying is factually inaccurate. The Abbasid Caliphate ran the intellectual capital of the world. Al-Andalus had public libraries and running water while Europe was in the Dark Ages. The Ottoman Empire governed a multi-religious empire for 600 years. Are we also ignoring Malaysia and Indonesia today, which are Muslim-majority democracies? 1,400 years of history doesn’t just disappear because you haven’t truly looked lol

@FaithAndText @Realneo101 A good religion should help people live a better life. There has been no example of a good government or a successful implementation of Islamic rules in the last 1,400 years.

Jihad literally means struggle or striving. The Prophet called the inner struggle against your own ego the “greater jihad” and armed combat the “lesser jihad.” The greatest form of jihad in Islam is speaking truth in the face of a tyrant. But that doesn’t fit the narrative so most people never hear it. 🙂

@FaithAndText And the Quran has also commanded you to perform jihad.

Don't k*ll humans to save Islam; rather, destroy Islam to save humanity.

@Mhditcf @Realneo101 The projection couldn’t be any louder. You say I can’t pass my own interpretation, while presenting your own interpretation as if it’s the objective truth lol We’re both reading the text. The difference is I’m citing verses and you’re citing governments 🙂

@FaithAndText @Realneo101 You’re just presenting your own moderate interpretation of Islam. From my perspective, all Islamic governments and groups are violent and repressive. You can’t pass your personal interpretation off as Islam itself.
