ISIS/Daesh are Islamic and are doing the right thing according to the teachings of Islam

Let me start of with the Muslim population, which is far greater than 1.6 billion. In 1990 there were 1.1 billion Muslims and in 2010 there were 1.6 billion Muslims. Islam is the fastest growing religion and if the fastest growing religion apparently got stuck at the same number, the numbers don't add up. There will be 2.76 billion Muslims around 2050 according to Pew Research. . http://edition.cnn.com... . http://www.npr.org... . http://www.pewforum.org... I will talk about every single verse you presented. 3:56: You need to read the verse before it and after it. This verse references God's wrath on the people who disbelieved in Jesus. The verse does encourage or endorse Muslims to randomly kill people. 2:191-193: Don't just stop at kill them wherever you find them. I quote from 192 "And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. " These 3 passages you mentioned all have to do with a specific battle, the polytheists drove the Muslims out of Makkah with no food or water so that they might starve. The Muslims were not even allowed to buy food or items from the shops at one point. So Allah has given them permission to fight back, this is not implying that all polytheists need to be killed. It's saying fight those who have fought you, nothing more. Mufti Menk speaking about these 3 verses: 5:33: Video explanation from the Ibn Kathir tafseer. The same Qur'an orders Muslims to protect Churches and even allows Muslims to marry Christians and Jews. 8:12: This verse was revealed after the Battle of Badr, possibly even at the same time because it describes the battle of Badr in detail. You can go ahead and refer to the tafseers, this verse is just talking about a Battle. On top of that the Muslims were outnumbered and yet they won. Muslim strength: 313 infantry and cavalry: 2 horses and 70 camels Kufaar strength: 950 infantry and cavalry: 100 horses and 170 camels . https://en.wikipedia.org... 8:39: Do you not notice that the verse starts with "And"? Surely there must something meaningful before it. Let's take a look at 8:38 "Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them. But if they return [to hostility] - then the precedent of the former [rebellious] peoples has already taken place. " So we know that this verse is again talking about self-defense. 8:65: It's simple here, just read a few verses before it and a few after it and you know that this is still talking about the battle of Badr. This chapter is called the spoils of war, this chapter mentions war over and over again. 8:61 "But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things). " 48:16-17: Read the chapter please, this is talking about Muhammad SAW and his followers of that time. This is a verse about history, but you translate it as if they are commands for me and other Muslims. Secondly, this is talking about someone who turns away from Islam and stops following the prophet. 61:9: This is not talking about killing non-Muslims so that Islam will become the dominant religion. It will become the biggest religion regardless of killing of whomever. Tafseer of chapter "The Ranks": . http://www.englishtafsir.com... _____________________________________ Now let me show you why ISIS is an anti-Islamic group. - "And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW) not but as a mercy for the "Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists)" [al-Anbiya" 21:107] ISIS has no mercy, showing a clear contradiction. - [If a Muslim calls another kafir, then if he is a kafir let it be so; otherwise, he [the caller] is himself a kafir. ' (Abu Dawud, Book of Sunnah). ] ISIS will call anyone a kaafir who does not agree with their wicked ideology. - Qur'an 4:29" "And do not kill yourselves, surely God is most Merciful to you. " ISIS directly violates this command that is also continuously found in authentic Hadiths. -Qur'an 17:23: "And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. " ISIS militants on the other hand disrespect their parents and will even kill them if they do not agree with ISIS. - Qur"an 6:151 specifically and explicitly prohibits the killing of Muslims and ISIS directly violates this. - The Quran 5:69 mentions in that among the Jews and Christians there are also believers who will enter paradise. ISIS kills Christians as well, but they don't kill Jews obviously. - Qur'an 5:82 even mentions "You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah ; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians. " That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant. ". - Qur'an 2:190 mentions that Allah does not love transgressors when it comes to fighting, meaning killing innocent people. - "Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (Quran, 2:256)" - "Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it). (Quran, 18:29)" -"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (Qur'an, 60:8)" So we must be kind towards innocent disbelievers. If ISIS was Islamic, they would focus on destroying Israel and the Israeli government. ISIS has not only killed more Muslims than non-Muslims, but they have deformed Islam and have made us a fitnah to the non-Muslim. Ignoring 60:5. "Our Lord! Do not make us a test for those who disbelieve. Forgive us our Lord, You are All-Powerful capable of defeating anyone and You are All-Wise" (Qur'an 60: 5) If ISIS is anyone then they are the Kharijites or the Khawarijs, also known as the worst of the creation. Hadith 1: Nu"aym b. Hammad records in his Kitab al-Fitan (The Book of Tribulations): "It is related on the authority of "Ali (may Allah ennoble his countenance): "When you see the black flags, remain where you are and do not move your hands or your feet (It"s a common phrase meaning: "Stay put and don"t get involved in the fighting"). Thereafter there shall appear a feeble folk to whom no concern is given. Their hearts will be like fragments of iron. They are the representatives of the State (Ashab al-Dawla). They will fulfill neither covenant nor agreement. They will invite to the truth, though they are not from its people. Their names will be agnomens [i. e. , Abu So-and-so], and their ascriptions will be to villages. Their hair will be long like that of women. [They shall remain so] till they differ among themselves, and then Allah will bring forth the truth from whomever He wills. "" Hadith 2: "a group of young people who would be immature in thought and foolish. " They would speak beautiful words but commit the most heinous of deeds. They would engage in so much prayer and fasting that the worship of the Muslims would appear insignificant in comparison. They would call people to the Quran but would have nothing to do with it in reality. The Quran would not go beyond their throats, meaning they wouldn't understand its essence at all, merely regurgitating it selectively. The Prophet then went on to describe these people as "the worst of the creation. " (Sahih Bukhari) In another Hadith the Kharijites are called the dogs of Hell. The scholars I presented also call them the Khawarij. Hamza Yusuf talking about the Khawarij: ISIS is just a new name, the names keep changing. First we had the Taliban, which was created by the CIA to fight the Russians and then we got Al-Qaeda, which was also a creation of the US. Why should ISIS suddenly be an exception? Hillary Clinton admitting it: Here we can find Elliot Shimon, aka Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi chilling at the club and with John McCain. . http://www.youngagain.org... . https://syrianfreepress.wordpress.com... . https://wikispooks.com...(aka_Al-Baghdadi).jpg Remember, ISIS does not prove Muhammad SAW wrong, it proves him right.
