Subject: Islamic View of Crucifixion? |
Bible Note: Greetings, EdB. Good question. It’s rather difficult to answer some questions when the questioner limits the question to a few words, but I’ll take a stab at it nonetheless. Forgive me if I am “assuming” you already have an answer in mind. But, as I stated already under this “topic”, the Quran contradicts itself over and over. I’ll quote the Quran to answer your question. I have chosen Surah 9:29: “Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that Allah have forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the religion of truth, …” Let me interrupt myself here for a moment. EdB, does this portion of Quran sound like what you are asking about? Assuming that it does, I will continue with what the Quran says should be done to those that will not accept Islam. Continuing in that same “verse” where I left off – “…until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.” This is what the Muslims did to the Christians, the Jews and the Persians (until Iran converted) – tax them. They would kill some to gain control – than TAX them heavily in oppression. My, it sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Israel does that same thing to the Palestinians today. And it is very similar to what took place in the “Old Testament days.” One would think that the Lord would grow weary of the same old same old throughout HIS-story. Anyway, EdB, I trust this short answer to your question helps you and others understand. Blessings, Taleb P.S. Perhaps if we joined in and sang the Arab Christians' song of peace, peace would finally come. "'Salam salam li sha'b el rab fi kulli makan."(Their cry is my cry - "Peace, Peace to God's people everywhere.") |
