A very good article by Raymond Ibrahim about Jihad and the Islamic interpretations of innocence. It contains source material from the Hadith, Sira and notable Muslim Jurists and scholars. Ibrahim is one of the few people out there that isn't advocating a "moderate strain of islam", but rather makes the correct conclusion that Islamic source material is what it is and can't be changed or magically go through some renaissance or reformation. Here is a snippet: Quote:Most problematic of all is the fact that, neither Pakistani cleric Munib ur-Rehmen, nor Ayman Zawahiri, nor yet Osama bin Laden are responsible for these notions or what constitutes “innocence” in Islam. Rather, their views are grounded in the verdicts of Islam’s revered ulema and fuqaha, who, in their turn, came up with these conclusions after grappling (ijtihad) with Islam’s core texts — the way all of sharia law has been articulated. In short, though much of what was quoted here comes from the writings of al Qaeda, such notions are not original to al Qaeda but trace back to the ulema and sharia. The full text can be found HERE. |
YHWH's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
