I know I haven't been updating the Palestine blog for almost a month, but I do read news. I'll probably be too busy for another 2, 3 weeks so I don't think I can update it yet. Someone, please do it for me ok?
The new rise of a self-righteous self-proclaimed jihad movement Salafi-Jihadi. If they start reading this blog they will probably kill me once they find me, but I don't care the slightest bit, and I won't bear grudges. God's love is too overwhelming for me to act high-and-mighty like most self-proclaimed warriors.
Isn't it about time for those stubborn-headed to realize that Hamas is not a terrorist organization? There are enough extremist organizations out there that differ strongly from Hamas itself, needless to name what those organizations are. Who can prove that Hamas used civilians as human-shields? The Hamas that we know says otherwise, and we choose to believe them, not some biased propaganda. Anyway, after finding out that some members of Hamas are actually supporting Salafi-Jihadi secretly, now we know why a few of their actions seem to go against their principles. As long as the leaders are composed and on the right path, I trust in them to fix the situation. It'll be a different story if even their leaders are starting to oppress people with self-proclaimed laws of God. God states; there is no obligation in religion. And injustice is a terrible act.
One method I use to judge whether what an organization aims is truly based on God's orders or not, is by comparing their principles to the prophet's. What I see Hamas is doing is almost similar to the ways of the prophet. Fight for the land stolen from you, forgive people, and cease fire when the enemy wants to make peace. And no forcing people to follow a certain way of life. People are free to choose their ways of life, the only thing they shouldn't be doing is being injustice towards others, in forms of bribery, robbery, murdering, and the such. Otherwise it is their total freedom to choose not to pray, or to be homosexual, or to eat rubbish. We can only advice them what to do and what not to do, but we can't force them as long as they're not disturbing others. Remember how Luth didn't do anything to his homosexual tribe but only reminded them of the disaster to come shall they not repent? Then as God ordered, when a place is too full of sins and you can't change it, you shall leave for a better place. Otherwise you might get involved in the judgment that's going to befall the sinful land, in Luth's tribe's case, the whole town was flipped upside down.

In short, we humans as caliphs of the earth are only responsible for reminding and conducting trials that are required to be done as mentioned in the Koran, for example eye-for-an-eye, stoning, and decapitating thieves. But wait, let me make this clear. Stoning is only allowed when there are at least 4 male witnesses who saw with their own eyes the progression of the adultery event, otherwise there is no stoning. And that's not the only requirement, there are plenty of requirements to be filled before it can be done, so don't think it's easy to stone people. And don't think we like to stone people. No one sane likes hurting others. And as for cutting off one hand of a thief, there must be proof that he stole and that the reason for stealing is not due to hunger or poverty. Simply put, he's stealing just because he wants something that he can live on without. For more info, please ask a real scholar, not the one who only knows how to fight.
Now where were we? Oh yeah, we humans are only responsible for those trials. As for other sins that involve only themselves, like drinking alcohol and skipping on prayers, those sins are between themselves and God, so God shall judge that. Repeat, we are only reminders. And get out of that place when you think judgment is near, well, if you want to live longer that is.
The real message that I want to repeat here is the importance of spreading love, not hate. I didn't say the exact words before, but what I've been conveying is the same. Teach people around you how to love before they start expressing extreme behaviors, before they start killing people in their own ways, before they declare hatred on everyone they hate. In an article I read, Hamas discovered through some Salafi-Jihadi members that they captured, that they only know how to be extreme, but they don't even know how to prepare for prayers.
Before teaching people how to govern people, teach them to govern themselves and love others first.
