"This is for Allah!"

Another London attack in which some people were run down and others were "stabbed indiscriminately" by men claiming that it was "for Allah."  Doubtless, we will soon hear pronouncements that this has nothing to do with Islam and warnings that there must be no backlash against Muslims.  These crazies are perverting the peaceful message of Islam during the holy month of Ramadan.  As it is Ramadan, let's ponder some of the peaceful passages in the Koran:

 

48:29 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves.

 

Do you suppose the people who were run over and/or stabbed were disbelievers who required severity or "with him" and deserving mercy?

9:29 Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

 

Do the non-Muslim people of the UK feel themselves subdued or is more fighting required for them to pay the Jizyah (tax to practice non-Islamic religion) with willing submission?

9:73 O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell, - and worst indeed that destination.

 

Would running over those who do not believe in Islam be considered harsh?  Is it is a sin to stab those destined for Hell?

 

9:111 Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be Paradise. They fight in Allah’s Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Quran. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success.

 

Did they fight in the name of Allah by killing others and being killed?

 

Islam is not a religion of peace.  Anyone who makes that claim is either ignorant of the above passages or lying.  How many more attacks accompanied by cries of Allahu Akbar will it take for political leaders and the news media to wake up to the links between Islam and terrorism?
