Not necessarily . Many were killed even though they didn't fight . One must know that if truth leaves falsehood in peace , falsehood will never leave truth in peace . Many reasons can drive a person to evil , there is Iblees - Satan - and his allies and also the evil-ordering self (Annafs Al-Ammara Bissu') and they all ornament the evil deeds to a person to justify them . Thus , Quran tells us :QuoteNot necessarily.. The pen is mightier than the sword. During the last World Wars there were men known as "conscientious objectors" they refused to fight in battle or kill another in the name of war... But would only serve their country by peaceful means. In the first WW many were shot as cowards, and although the 2nd WW, they may not have been shot but were still made to feel cowards. But who is the braver man?
Quote2:190 Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.
16:126 And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient - it is better for those who are patient.If standing to one's belief - whichever it is - is right for you , you shouldn't blame us since it is our belief to fend off the oppressors and trespassers without trespassing .QuoteThe one who takes the life of another in the theatre of war or the one that stands for what He believes is right according to his belief.
Agreed , although the stories of such incidents differ between Christianity and Islam . Then why isn't it supreme justice when Allah orders us to , not destroy whole cities or nations , but fight against the evil doers and spread his message ? If that happened in the past , why shouldn't it happen now?QuoteGod has destroyed cities and communities in His righteous wrath in the past times.. that is supreme justice.
You do realize it isn't applied in the first place , don't you ?QuoteNo truly.. I was not making a joke. That it worked in the past is good.. What is bad is it can't be made to work in the world we live in today. That is down to the people.
Agreed . But to clear something about the last part , judging someone in this life - in Islam - is based on the judgement of the almighty himself . He set the laws for us because Islam is a way of life .QuoteI have confidence that God is just, and where it may be possible for the guilty to go free by twisting and corrupting the law to their will, and the innocent do not always receive the justice they deserve.. That is by the hand of man in dealing with the law. The ultimate judge is God.. And He is the only judge that counts.
