Primary rules for intellectuals:
- ignore facts
- ignore common sense.
If thats your definition of intellectual it explains why you are wedded to violence and opposed to any efforts for peace.
Typical straw man argument, employing an element of projection. It is Islam that embraces and sanctifies violence.
Peace is obtained by victory and maintained by superior strength and vigilence. The alternative is death, subjugation and slavery.
Fact: the Qur'an contains clear verses whose meaning is self-evident.
- 3:7 ...In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book [and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkâm (commandments, etc.)...
- 27:1 a Book (that makes things) clear
- 43:2 By the manifest Book (that makes things clear, i.e. this Qur'ân).
- Tafsir Ibn Kathir: The Mutashabihat and Muhkamat Ayat: Allah states that in the Qur'an, there are Ayat that are Muhkamat, entirely clear and plain, and these are the foundations of the Book which are plain for everyone....(They are the foundations of the Book), meaning, they are the basis of the Qur'an, and should be referred to for clarification, when warranted,...The Muhkamat are the Ayat that explain the abrogating rulings, the allowed, prohibited, laws, limits, obligations and rulings that should be believed in and implemented.... [Emphasis added.]
They can not accept the fact that 9:29 contains a clear imperative to fight and kill "people of the scriptures" who do not submit to Islam. They can not accept that the command is within a fight until loop, with neither chronological nor geographical limitations.
The clear imperative to fight and kill Jews and Christians is confirmed by direct statements from Muhammad and the agents of his successor:
- Bukhari1.8.387: "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah."
- Bukhari9.92.388: I have been ordered to fight the people till they say 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah' And whoever says: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' waves his wealth and his life from me unless he deserves a legal punishment lusty, and his account will be with Allah!
- Abu Dawud14.2635: I am commanded to fight with men till they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Apostle, face our qiblah (direction of prayer), eat what we slaughter, and pray like us. When they do that, their life and property are unlawful for us except what is due to them.
- Bukhari4.52.196: I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' his life and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his accounts will be with Allah, (either to punish him or to forgive him.)"
- Bukhari4.53.386: ...Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master."...
- The Order to fight until there is no more Fitnah: Allah then commanded fighting the disbelievers when He said:
(...until there is no more Fitnah) meaning, Shirk. This is the opinion of Ibn `Abbas, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ar-Rabi`, Muqatil bin Hayyan, As-Suddi and Zayd bin Aslam. Allah's statement: (...and the religion (all and every kind of worship) is for Allah (Alone).) means, `So that the religion of Allah becomes dominant above all other religions.'
- The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They give the Jizyah : Allah said, (Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth among the People of the Scripture, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.)... Allah commanded His Messenger to fight the People of the Scriptures, Jews and Christians, on the ninth year of Hijrah, and he prepared his army to fight the Romans and called the people to Jihad announcing his intent and destination....
- intellectual superiority
- moral superiority
- smug certitude
- condescension
- no facts
- no logic
- no reasoning
- a priori they are right, all opponents are wrong and all evidence is irrelevant.
