First of all, ISIS or ISIL has nothing to do with Islam except that it looks islamic. People are unaware that ISIS is like a guerilla group or insurgents who just want power. Like Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood it is a sect which takes its roots from the Khawarij sect. The majority of Muslims completely reject this deviant sect but due to their islamic appearance many people are fooled. The media and politics obviously make it seem as if this is a problem with the religion because the Muslims control areas of great importance to the superpowers. Attacking Islam is a strategy in operation. This is why people get a very negative impression and completely false information about Islam. It follows therefore that to compare the actions of Muhammad with ISIS is misinformation. Muhammed was a holy man like Jesus or Moses. T reached very high levels of great charater and are symbols of compassion, first and foremost because t were God’s messengers and God is The Most Merciful and Loving of all. The accusations mentioned in the question, sadly reflect an intense hatred towards one of the best, most compassionate humans ever to exist. Unfortunately there has always been evil doers. Their aim is only to externalise their hatred and add to the ignorance and create more havoc. May Allah shower His noble prophet with peace and blessings
M. Alarmed A few facts/conclusions/advice from this site: 1. Jihad is a religious duty (and must therefore be practiced religiously) i.e. a religious duty that must be performed to please our supreme and benevolent God, who desires us to attain Paradise. As a Christian, I am duty bound to fight for my country. It is wrong to assume that Christians simply want to attack other Christians, as there are many Christian groups that are committed to eliminating other religions/believers that they don't agree with. However, for the sake of the argument, the Christians cannot simply be content with attacking Muslims wherever they may turn up in Europe, America or any other countries. They must work aggressively to fight and defeat the infidels wherever and whenever the opportunity presents itself and not just settle for their religion's status quo. Also, if Christian soldiers from all over the world are committed to jihad, they should be working.
