Re: [mukto-mona] Maulana Wahiduddin Khan: The Concept of Jihad in Islam

Moderator's Note: As an organistion we permit people with different viewpoints to express their views on the forums as long as they do not resort to preaching or propagating religion. Mr Sikand is well within his rights to post his views and so is Prof Das in his refuting them.

WRT: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mukto-mona/message/49947

"A reading of the life of the Prophet reveals that he never initiated
fighting on his own. Whenever his foes sought to force him into battle, he
would always try to seek some means to avoid physical fighting. He engaged
in fighting only when all other options were closed. Thus, as the Prophet's
practice reveals, offensive war is forbidden in Islam. Islam allows only for
defensive war, and that too only when this becomes absolutely unavoidable."

Yogi, do you really believe it? How was the caravans that passed by Medina
were looted? Who initiated them? Was it a religious act? How was the Sura
Anfal revealed?

Do we have a believer in Islam here in the guise of Muktomona. I would
suggest him to read "Islam and the West" and "Prophet of Doom". The first
book is the first reference in the Cambridge History of Islam, and the
second one is available free on the net.

How could a third rate article written by a third rate Maulana be translated
and posted by a person who even claims to be a liberated person?
