Islam i Mellanöstern

Jag läste för en tid sedan en insändare som beskrev islam som fredens religion. Det var skribentens erfarenhet men verkligheten är inte så enkel.
Här följer några  uttalanden från islamska lärda och mindre lärda som ger en annan bild av islam. De representerar inte alla muslimer men en betydande del och de baserar sina uttalanden på koranen.
Deras tal kan läsas i MEMRI:s senaste veckorapport. (Special Dispatch Series , Inquiry and Analysis Series,  MEMRI TV Project )
Det är i den här omgivningen Israel existerar.

Iranian Quran Expert Bahrampur On National TV: Protesters Should Be Slaughtered Or Have Their Feet And Hands Chopped Off On Alternate Sides; If We Kill 10,000 Of Them, It Will Not Be An Exaggeration

Abolfazl Bahrampur, an Iranian Quran interpreter and translator, was interviewed on Channel 1 of the Iranian TV on November 26, 2019. In the interview, Bahrampur said that according to the Quran, the punishment for protesters should be slaughtering, which is death in agony or chopping off their hands and feet on alternate sides of their bodies. He continued to say that the punishment must be carried out in public and in the place where the crimes were committed and they must be crucified as well, in order to serve as a deterrent for "the people who wait behind the scenes for America's orders." He said that killing 10,000 of the protesters would not be an exaggeration.


Kuwaiti Islamic Scholar Muhammad Hammoud Al-Najdi: The Quran Encourages Offensive Jihad by Means of Force; It Is Used to Humiliate Infidels, Spread Islam

Kuwaiti Islamic scholar Sheikh Muhammad Hammoud Al-Najdi said in a show that aired between July 3 – 11, 2019 on Al-Ma’ali TV (Kuwait) that offensive Jihad is a concept that exists in Islam even though some people deny its existence. He cited several Quranic verses, including ones that urge Muslims to fight and subdue non-believers until they pay a poll tax or accept Islam. He explained that this means shooting the enemy with arrows, missiles, and so forth, and that Allah provides for the Islamic nation through Jihad by giving them spoils of war, property, and land. Sheikh Al-Najdi also said that one of the purposes of Jihad is to break the power of the infidels and humiliate them. He added: “Allah tortures [the infidels] at the hands of the believers.”
