Two Fatwa's

G-d is truth and I'm sure there is very little of that to go around.  I am sure he has grown wary of his children who bicker one trashing the other and both equal in there lies and motives failing to admit there past failures and mistakes. Unwilling to find tolerance for their fellow man that has differences of opinion concerning the same G-d.

 

This is the story of two Fatwa’s!

 

A Fatwa is an Islamic decree; it is used to interpret existing instructions given in the Koran and what is in the Sunna that is the prophetic tradition.  It is important to note that it can’t ever over rule either the Koran or the Prophetic tradition. But since there is no clergy to define and interpret the word on G-d as the Christians and Jews would have they use this method, the Fatwa.

 

What is amazing about this system is in order to issue a Fatwa you need to be able to support it with either the Sunna or the Koran and everyone one is an individual and may challenge such Fatwa, should it not be of sound reasoning. You see in Islam man is fallible, Allah is not nor were the prophets as they were in direct communication with Allah.

 

Usama bin Laden Fatwa.

 

So we have two of them one from Usama bin Laden calling for a jihad on the Christians and Jews.  Referring to them as the Crusader-Zionist alliance. His words are harsh and dangerous and call for all Muslims to wage war on the US military and citizens. The same would be applied to the Jewish community.

What I love about the Islamic faith is I can challenge this Fatwa and pronounce it flawed fundamentally. If I can or someone else can make it clear this is not what Allah has intended in the writings of the Koran or the Sunna from the prophetic tradition then pretty much it becomes none applicable to everyone Muslim who sees the non-truths.

 

Here is a Fatwa written in the US & Canada by Muslims who object to Usama bin Laden Fatwa of 1998.

Usama bin Laden Please don’t misunderstand me   I ask only the questions of those who judge & condemn, I do not Judge and condemn myself as this if for G-d.  I say this not out of wisdom but out of humility; G-d shall decide who shall live and who shall die.

 

I Quote: Surah II The Cow

 

111. And they say : None entereth Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian. These are their own desires. Say: Bring your proof (of what ye say) if ye are truthful.

112. Nay, but whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good, his reward is with the lord; and there shall be no fear come upon then neither shall they grieve.

 

113. And the Jews say the Christians follow nothing true, and the Christians san the Jews follow nothing true yet both are readers of the scripture. Even thus speak those who know not. Allah will judge between them on the day of resurrection concerning that wherein they differ.

Stem Cell Foutain of youth

SURAH   II  The Cow

 

96. And thou wilt find them greediest of mankind for life and

greedier than the Idolaters. Each on of them would like to be allowed

to live a thousand years. And to live a thousand years would by no

means  remove him from the doom. Allah is Seer of what they do.

 

 

 

People are worried about Stem Cell research because it intrudes on what many believes is life and it amounts to murder. This is a certain concern but not what we going to deal with in this story.

 

I want to look at the pros and cons of this new medical technology the fact that we will likely be able to cure many people who are very sick with such things as Cancer, diabetes, and Hart disease just to scratch the surface. This is some very remarkable wonder that they will be able to perform, and it all works by simply growing the necessary cell that is needed.

 

Now that we know that the good this could do humans is more than remarkable, have we looked at what it might do to us in the long run as a society. I personally have heard nothing in the negative arena but you never do when it is about to mean billons and billons of dollars for some company. So I have chosen to consider some possibilities.

 

Lets say they get really good at this and they can replace cells that are failing in the hart and virtually all organs including the brain and suddenly the average life span for everyone who can afford it is 150 yrs and the life span of their offspring will be 200yrs what will happen then.

 

Certainly not everyone can live 200 yrs that just can’t be aloud to happen the population explosion alone would make it UN allowable. Now each county is going to want to handle this technology the way they see fit and that is not going to be allowable either.

 

Here is why once the fountain of youth has been opened up there will be no turning back you will simply have the haves and the have nots. The haves will have to control this and keep it within certain bloodlines. Others and whole groups (countries) of peoples will be interested in taking control and will go to war to obtain their goals. One will shut the other out because the ones in control will have now truly become superior. They will with no doubt need to achieve global domination to be in control of who when were and why some one is allowed to live 200 yrs.

 

After this is accomplished and a final winner has arose the smoke will clear from the wars possibly nuclear and we will have a very different world to contend with. Only your own imagination can fill in all the possible blanks.

Idols

 Exodus 20: 1 - 17 the Ten Commandments

 

3 You shall have no other Gods before me 

 

4. "You shall not make for yourself a carved image-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

 

5. You shall not bow to them nor serve them. For I the Lord your God am a Jealous God,

 

Do you think we should be praying to Saints and statues. Who is it that ignores these words. Who is it that can decide who is wrong and who is right only to be  wrong?

Please don’t misunderstand me   I ask only the questions of those who judge & condemn, I do not Judge and condemn myself as this if for G-d.  I say this not out of wisdom but out of humility, G-d shall decide who shall live and who shall die.

 

Should you ignore what has been excepted by yourself as the word of G-d and make images of what is in heaven and earth and bow to them?
