Assalamu alaykum,
first of all, this is not a topic that should be in the TurnToIslam lounge. It is more for News/Politics/Current affairs area.
Secondly, the videos do not work, so I have removed the links.
I agree with brother Adam!!!
Why do people have to be so pessimistic. Islamically, our current situations root problem is not America, nor any group of people. It is us. It is all down to us. A person just has to do a quick tour of most Muslim countries to see how away from Islam they are.
This is the main problem, this is what makes us weak, and this is what allows our people to get pushed around and our rights squashed.
Even if there was NO America, imagine it did not exist at all, --- Muslims would still be in the same situation as today!! infact, even if there were no Non-Muslim states in the entire world, we would still be suffering and having problems.
That is simply due to the lack of knowledge of Islam, people not worshipping Allah properly and not following the Sunnah of the Messenger
.
I think, people really need to think carefully before they write things. I had to delete a few ignorant comments.
infact, a lot of this political talk is a big waste of time. I wonder how many of us here know one juzz of the quran, know the categories of tawheed and the evidence from the quran and sunnah for each one, know the conditions of the Shahada and evidences for it, or even know one hadith with Isnaad.
Yet, people rush to talk politics. There can never be a true understanding of the world, current affairs or political issues without understanding Islam properly.
This section (News and Politics section) was created to educate people on current affairs where there was lack of correct information. For example, to report on the Muslim civillian casualties in wars etc or to give news about conflict in Palestine which does not get the correct exposure in the media. It was created so people know Muslims not terrorists, so that people are aware of our situation.
This section of the site, was not created for people to waste their time bashing different countries or talking about their demise. - Plus, it is not good for da'wah as MOST non-Muslims have no idea about why anyone would say such things.
I get a lot of complaints from Muslims and non-Muslims about the News/Politics section of the website. 90% of which are legitimate problems. For example, where some over excited person rants on and on about how a certain people are evil etc, this kind of talk is not Islamic nor something that a sensible educated person would ever embark upon.
Wasalam
