Bismillah
assalamu alaykum,
There are
A LOT of problems in Muslim countries. However, I would say most are much safer and the problems not as big as the Western Media tends to depict.
We should remember that there is a lot of crime and violence against women in the Western non-Muslim countries. - I do not think that there is such a big problem in Muslim countries, however it does exist unfortunately in
some of the countries.
With regards to terrorism, then the USA, UK, "Israel", Russia, India, China, Burma and many other countries are amongst the biggest state terrorists and bullies in the world!! - They kill, torture and unjustly imprison millions. Yet, due to politics, economic and even Religious reasons we seldom hear about these issues as we should.
And those who unjustly kill people like AlQaeda in Iraq and other places, then they too are criminals and evil.
"So my advice to al-Masari, al-Faqih, Bin Laden, and all those who traverse their way is to leave alone this disastrous path, and to fear Allah and to beware of His vengeance and His anger, and to return to guidance and to repent to Allah for what has preceded from them…"
- Shaykh Abdul-Aziz Bin Baz (rahimahullah)
Infact, in reality living under alQaeda is worse than under the disbeliever's armies. THey are causing much more destruction and problems!! I hope nobody has to learn this the hard way. I have no time to debate these issues, but people should learn Islam, learn about our history.
Look at the forefather's of alQaeda i.e. the Khawarij and the evil that they did. The Khawarij were the ones who went against the Prophet Muhammad
and his Companions. - They were the ones who killed the Companions (radhiyallahu anhum) and spilt blood of many of our Muslim brothers and sisters.
All the major scholars of today have critisised, have written fatawa and books about the people of Takfir (i.e. alqaeda) and have said they are the Khawarij of today! So supporting them is not the right way!
People like this woman who wrote poetry in favour of bin laden and alqaeda are wasting their time and also committing sin. They commit sin, because they are praising people who go against what Islam teaches.
Just because someone says they are fighting for oppressed Muslims does not mean they are right. These people are wrong and go against the Shari'ah of Allah (azawajal). They are ignorant of Islam and if they did rule, they would bring about darkness and evil.. not the light of Islam.
So people should not just follow their emotions and have no idea what is the right way, simply because because they are ignorant of Islam. The correct way of being Muslim is to follow the Quran and Sunnah with the understanding of the early Muslims.
Whoever disagrees, then please book yourself a ticket and go to Iraq.The Americans and British do a lot of wrong too, but those fighting there are not all simple Iraqi villagers who are fighting sincerely for Islam or simply against the Americans. Rather, there are groups that are made up of very extreme and nasty people who kill
anyone who does not agree to what they think is right. They are very ignorant to what Islam says, and simply go around trying to amass power and wealth. A lot of our brothers and sisters are kidnapped and killed by the ignorant takfiris. Even, they have killed the Imams who spoke out against alQaeda.
I have friends who are good Sunni Muslims from Iraq who had to run away due to these extremists.
- So do not fool yourselves into becoming robots that simply hear and obey what AlJazeera and what Ali down the road says. - If you simply live upon your emotions then you will be making incorrect decisions and ideas. These people bring nothing but fitnah (tribulation).
Some of these extremists, for example group "Ikhwan Muslimoon", and others do not care about following Quran and Sunnah with understanding of the Salaf-Salih (pious predecessors). They just want everyone to join with them regardless of their belief in Tawheed or their adherance to the original teachings.
"And in the face of those who perform takfir in falsehood are a people who do not know the aqidah of Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah as it truly should be known, or they know some of it but are ignorant of some of it. Yet whatever they do know of it, they do not always explain it to the people but conceal it[9]. And they do not forbid the innovations that oppose the Book and the Sunnah[10], nor do they rebuke the People of Innovations and neither do they punish them. In fact, they may even criticise absolutely any talk of the Sunnah and the fundamental principles of the religion [i.e. Tawhid, sticking to Quran and Sunnah, Not killing civillians etc.]. Or they may accommodate everyone, with all their varying madhhabs… This approach has overcome many of the Murji’ah, some of the Jurists, Sufis and Philosophers. And both of these two approaches (i.e. that of the Takfiris and the Murji’ah and those with them) are deviant, and outside the [confines of the] Book and the Sunnah." [ Majmu’ ul-Fatawa (16/427) and refer to Bada’i ut-Tafsir of Ibn al-Qayyim (5/548)]
Islam is perfect and complete, there is nothing bad or evil in it. - Those who do things such as abuse women or commit terrorism are criminals. They are sinful. We speak out against them as we do for any person doing evil.
