Understanding the Enemy

Canon law is to the Bible what the Haditha's are to the Koran.

???? Noooo. Only Catholics consider them to have any authority whatsoever. Haddiths were written by Muhammads companions, canons were written centuries after christ. Those canons justifying the crusades no longer have any authority even in the Catholic Church, haddiths are forever, so far.

Using Biblical law you get to stone lots of people for assorted crimes - so don't say you get a dead passivist.

Depending on how you interpret it...and remember, context is irrelevant...

In Leviticus 25:44-46.....

Perhaps the meaning of "New" within the term "NEW Testament" escapes you. Its like a centuries old canon that has been replaced by a new one.

It has not been replaced - the OT is still valid as is evidenced by constant references to it. Christianity recognizes the two of them together. (Ten Commandments anyone?). Unless you cherry pick.

Haddiths weren't written until over a hundred years after the death of Mohammad.
 
Using Biblical law...
In Mark 7:9, Jesus is critical of the Jews for not killing their disobedient children as prescribed by Old Testament law....

Luke 19:22-27, Jesus orders killed anyone who refuses to be ruled by him.

You couldnt have provided a better example of my point. I and others have presented verse after verse of commandments made to Muslims by Muhammad such as "slay the idolaters, verse after verse of hadiths extolling the virtues of jihad spoken by muhammad to the Muslims. Ive asked repeatedly for this Christian doctrine that you all say is just like the verses of Islamic text we have quoted. Finally you cough something up, and we might presume this is your best available evidence of what you allege, and this is what you have.
Mark 7:9 in fact is not Jesus being critical of anybody because it is the "Pharisees and teachers of the law" who were critical of Jesus' disciples, asking them "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with 'unclean' hands?" Jesus responds to them quoting Moses.

Luke? The Parable of the Ten Minas? Nooooo, Jesus is ordering nobody to do anything. Its a parable about a king who "orders killed anyone who refuses to be ruled by him".
I would accuse you of being a liar, but I know you just glomed it off some anti christian website making some lame arguement that christianity is just as violent as Islam. Another point would be that there are not any Christians using these verses to justify killing anybody. If there were, I couldnt really be critical of the doctrine because they are twisting the doctrine to mean something that CLEARLY defies the plain meaning of the words. "Jesus orders killed"??? nooooo Jesus is telling a parable about a non existant king who "orders killed".

Luke 19
11While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, ..."A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.[a]'Put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.' .....15"He was made king,

26"He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. 27But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me."

Mark 7
5So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with 'unclean' hands?"
6He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:...
10For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,'[d] and, 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.'[e]

By the way, Muslims themselves aren't unified as to the role of the Hadiths.

According to Wikipedia:
The overwhelming majority of Muslims consider hadith to be essential supplements to and clarifications of the Qur'an, Islam's holy book. In Islamic jurisprudence, the Qur'an contains many rules for the behavior expected of Muslims. However, there are many matters of concern, both religious and practical, on which there are no specific Qur'anic rules. Muslims believe that they can look at the way of life, or sunnah, of Muhammad and his companions to discover what to imitate and what to avoid. Muslim scholars also find it useful to know how Muhammad or his companions explained the revelations, or upon what occasion Muhammad received them. Sometimes this will clarify a passage that otherwise seems obscure. Hadith are a source for Islamic history and biography. For the vast majority of devout Muslims, authentic hadith are also a source of religious inspiration.

However, some contemporary Muslims argue that the Qur'an alone is sufficient. Examples of such Muslims groups are Tolu-e-Islam (Resurgence of Islam), Free Minds, and United Submitters International. Muslims who take the "Qur'an alone" viewpoint are regarded as deviant by mainstream Muslim scholars, and by the vast majority of Muslims. Hadith-trusting Muslims argue that many Qur'anic instructions are impossible to fulfill without guidance from the ahadith. (The Qur'an does not, for example, specify how many prayer cycles constitute fulfillment of each of the daily prayers. See salat.) It is also important to note that most Muslims claim that the Qur'an cannot be fully explained by itself alone or read with complete understanding -- which is why the Hadith is referred to as the "second source" of Islam. While the Qur'an states "We have made it (the Qur'an) easy to understand and in your own tongue (language) may you take heed." (Qur'an 44:58), there are great debates between Muslims regarding the views stated in the Qur'an, and also those stated in the Hadith.

So in other words you are providing context and analysis to Christian passages which you deny to Muslim ones... .
 
back to reality folks....
here's an example of the enemy at work:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday as part of a terrorist fundraising ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to an al Qaeda and Taliban supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.

The former Republican congressman from Michigan, Mark Deli Siljander, was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists.

A 42-count indictment, unsealed in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Missouri, accuses the Islamic American Relief Agency of paying Siljander $50,000 for the lobbying -- money that turned out to be stolen from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Siljander, who served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, was appointed by President Reagan to serve as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations for one year in 1987.
 
Christians throughout history have recognized that the a doctrine of war or approach to a holy war is a biblical deduction based upon the interpretation of numerous passages in the Bible (for example: Eccles. 3:1, 8; Matt. 5:44; 24:6-7; Acts 10:1-23; Rom. 13:1-7; 1 Tim. 2:2; 1 Pet. 2:13-17).

And another good example of our point. Here are the above verses. I skipped the Acts:10 as I cant imagine what it was included for. They dont advocate war against unbelievers.

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'[g] 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

44But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

Acts 10:1-23; 3One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision.????? (Not sure of the relevance)

1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.

1I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—2for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

13Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, 14or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. 15For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. 16Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. 17Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

So in other words you are providing context and analysis to Christian passages which you deny to Muslim ones... .

No, I am providing the text. Ignore my words and read the text using a literal interpretation and you can plainly see that your claim is a LIE. Jesus isnt commanding anybody to do anything. "Jesus orders killed"??? Its a fabricated lie. Are you actually arguing that your interpretation is supported by the text???? You are more delusional than I thought if so. Tel you what, why dont you just copy and paste from the text the words that lead you to conclude that "Jesus orders killed anyone who refuses to be ruled by him" as youve not yet provided ANY quotes to support your assertions.

Your making my point. And

Bukhari's collection is recognized by the overwhelming majority of the Muslim world to be one of the most authentic collections of the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh).

Bukhari Haddiths is primarily what Ive posted from here on the group. Put Jihad in the search function, and then try to argue with a straight face that Jihad is an inner struggle with oneself.

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/reference/searchhadith.html

just the first one that comes up on the search

Volume 1, Book 2, Number 25:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause."
