Dear Zeynab:
It appears that you are a believer, a religious person, and I do have all the respect to you and your religion for that. However, I still think that you should tell us what the word “KAFER” means. “At least your interpretation of the word”.
I am sure everyone knows these days that Islam is being used in the entire Middle Eastern region plus most parts of Asia, just to promote radical ideas and achieve the ultimate goal of profiting from it.
About hating other Muslims, do you mean even if that person killed hundreds of thousands of people? I would hate anyone who does that regardless of who, or what he or she is, even if it was of my own flesh and blood.
Previous Iraqi governments may not have used Islam as a front for their rulings, but Saddam used it for sure, all you have to do is watch his meetings, and listen to his speeches. Yet nowadays, Muslim clerics are using their influence to push their followers to commit so many unruly acts, it’s becoming disgustingly murderous. Instead of using religion to spread chaos, they could teach the true interpretation of the Qur’an to spread peace among Muslims.
If they want to be a part of the parliament, they can use their education “provided they have any” to prove to their followers that they are worthy of the position they are seeking. Religion should never get involved in governing a country. Ruling a country through religious guidelines is the ultimate mistake that believers do. It could have worked centuries ago, but not in modern day governments.
A country “any country” these days consists of various religions, ethnicities, and beliefs. Therefore, you cannot force one religion or one belief on all people living in that country, if you do that, you are actually forcing the rest of the factions to take one of many actions. Two of the options they have are 1) they could revolt, if their number is high enough to cause disturbance and unrest. Or 2) they might leave the country, taking all their knowledge and education with them to benefit the new land they settle in. Either way it is really a great setback to the religiously lead country.
My highest regards and respect to you.
To Zeynab & Harry:
Sorry, I just came across this one. Must have missed it first time round.
Anyway, I am in total agreement with Harry. You can't say you will not hate a Muslim no matter how heinous the crime. This clearly illustrates my point that peoples definitions of kafir don't always match. It's not as clear as you might think.[;)]
