Adnan Oktar
(Harun Yahya)
However, the verse also contains a reminder of the rules of
war: "Do not fight them in the Masjid al-Haram until they fight
you there. But if they do fight you, then you also fight them." As
we have seen, the only condition for fighting is for the other side to
have attacked first. If they do not wage war, if they do not attack,
then it is absolutely unlawful for Muslims to fight.
It is of course very suspicious how the radicals and opponents of
Islam who distort this verse ignore this rather important provision.
The verse explicitly grants Muslims only the right to self-defense:
The verse is not therefore commanding warfare and
aggression.
In verse 191 of Surat al-Baqara, Mus-
lims are only given the right to defend
themselves. According to the Qur'an,
war is allowed only in the form of self-
defense when there is an attack.
THESE HATEFUL IMAGES
DO NOT REFLECT ISLAM
