ISIS Is Ignoring Islam’s Teachings on Yazidis and Christians. Drjamorrow | Dr. John Andrew Morrow. Here’s what the Prophet and the Quran really say about how to treat the two faith groups Sohaib N. Sultan @SohaibNSultan Aug. 8, 2014 The news coming out of Iraq is really devastating. The violent extremist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) continues to take over major parts of Iraq, brutally killing and oppressing any and all who come in their way. “Now, there is a kind of man whose views on the life of this world may please thee greatly, and [the more so as] he cites God as witness to what is in his heart and is, moreover, exceedingly skillful in argument. So, I join the chorus of Muslims worldwide, Sunnis and Shi‘ites, who oppose al-Baghdadi and ISIS as a whole.
Ironically, when the Quran allows (and, sometimes, even encourages) Muslims to engage in just fighting and resistance, it is in order to deter those who wage wars without just cause and those who engage in religious persecution — exact crimes that the ISIS is engaging in Iraq today: The Noble Qur'an - القرآن الكريم. Surah 4:81-135 Ponder on the Quran. The Rev. Terry Jones announced this week that he plans to put the Quran on trial. And I think that's a great idea, as long as the Bible is put on trial, as well, using the same standards that are applied to the Quran. The burning, firing squad, drowning, shredding thing is silly, of course, but the basic idea is sound enough. Read the Quran (Bible, Book of Mormon, etc.) and decide what it is worth. And that's pretty much what the Quran says as well.
Will they not then ponder on the Qur'an? With that in mind, then, let's continue to ponder the Quran by looking for incongruities in this section. Let's start with the good. What goes around comes around. Now for the bad. Most of us would be followers of Satan if it wasn't for Allah. So ponder the Quran with Allah and put it on trial with Terry Jones.
