Let me get this straight....I am going to propose an honest perspective of allah based upon the teaching of the Koran and the actions of true Koranic believers (moderate muslims are not really adhearing to the Koran, which clearly teaches the greater and lesser Jihad..Hadith emphasises lesser Jihad..., therefore moderate Muslims are false converts according to the Koran, if they refuse to engage in violent Jihad).....so allah created the heavens and the earth with all their complexity and amazing detail...this indicates that allah is amazingly powerful beyond our comprehension.
Allah also transcends space and time, otherwise if he is a part of space and time, this would mean that he would have had to come into existence when space and time were created, yet allah has always existed, therefore he is eternal and transcends space and time, which means allah is transcendent. Allah is also all knowing, which means that he is omnicient and omnipresent, as he can see all things at all times, which means that allah is not a physical being but rather a spiritual being.
The cosmos is clearly created with the most amazing and precise physical and energy related constants that scientist agree that if only one of about 30 different parameters of our universe were even slightly off, than life on our planet would be impossible, another words Allah took great care in crafting us a universe with mindblowing power and accuracy, just for us humans to be able to live on planet earth. This shows that allah is a Loving and caring God, not to mention that he has endowed us people of his to be able to Love, cry, nurture, respect, have compassion, have loyalty, show kindness, etc. all of which are good traits, based upon the universal and clearly percieved moral laws of good and evil.
A cause is always greater than its effect. If allah is the cause of us, which I think we can both agree that 1 god, of whom I described above is the cause of us, this means that allah is much greater, indeed perfect, in love, kindness, compassion, nurture, and overall goodness. I am using basic common sense philosophy and logic to deduce all of this. In fact, you have probably agreed to most of my description of allah.......a perfect, all powerful, all creating, all knowing, everywhere present yet outside of our earthly dimension in eternity, eternal, all compassionate, all loving deity....this is Allah right?
So, taking these attributes into consideration, you want people to believe that Allah has placed his people in a disenfranchised situation in the world, in terms of nations and power and geopolitical standing, as it is clearly seen that most arabs and middle easteners live in poverty...unfortuna tely. So Allah has placed his special people in this situation and then commanded them to conquer the world on his behalf with absolute brutality if nescessary...which will be nescessary? By all means of war, strife, hate, bloodshed, disrespect, revenge. lying, stealing, plundering, rape, and deception?
Do you really believe that Allah is that mean? Is this compassion? Is this the mind of the God that I described above? Does he really need or want little human ants to do his bidding and carry out his revenge? Does he need you to carry out his revenge? Is he not the supreme judge, or are humans the judge?
By very definition this scheme seems maniacal, evil, distorted and hateful, unjust, unloving, uncaring, perverted, illogical, not righteous, and frankly is an insult to the real power of Allah, for you to think for a moment that you are good enough to carry out such a level of justice on behalf of an all powerful god.
This is not the true description of the all powerful deity that created the heavens and the earth. The Koran has painted a picture of god as though god were some kind of evil tyrant. If you choose fore a moment to be completely objective, you should atleast be able to understand now why this concept of violent Jihad on behalf of such a large and perfect God seems inconcievable to most of the worlds population.
I have made an attempt here to just be as honest and as respectful as possible. Muslims believe that they can work their way into heaven. None of us sinful creatures can ever be good enouph to work are way into heaven. Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sins that we could never pay on our own. You see, Jesus dying on the cross was the greatest legal transaction in history. Basically God created man with free will in the garden of Eden. Mam chose to sin against and disobey God. God, being absolutely perfect and holy and just demanded paymemt for the crime of our sin. Their is no way our first human parents could ever repay God for our sin because God demands absolute justice, therefore God, in his pure love and pity on us. made a way for our transgression to be paid for by taking a part of himself and making it into the form of us(human) which was Jesus Christ, and sacrificed a part of his perfect self on our behalf to pay for our sins and satisfy his perfect requirement for justice, thus completing the great legal transaction.
Think of it like this....say you are a criminal and committed many bad crimes, and you are in court facing the judge (god), and the judge sais to you...curious, you have been found guilty of many bad crimes and I am sentencing you to 100 years in prison (hell), unless you can pay a huge fine in the form of $100,000 to avoid prison. And you look at the judge and say, your honor, I am completely broke and dont even have two pennies to rub together, their is no way I can pay the fine...but I am really sorry judge and it will never happen again. Will the judge let you go? Ofcourse not, if he is a rightous judge than he will have to serve justice and hold you accountable. But then,all of a sudden, just as the guards are leading you away to jail, in comes a court appointed lawyer (Jesus) in whom you did not even know before, and he tells you...curious, I love you like a brother and I am going to pay the entire fine for you!
all of the sudden your fine is paid, the hancuffs fall to the ground, and you walk out of the courtroom a free man, with no more mention of your pryor crimes...100 percent secure since the fine is paid in full.
an incomprehensible act of true Godly love has just been presented to you and you really feel that love reverberate into the depths of your soul......
What I just described to you is not the phony "crusader" christianity, but the pure christianity of the holy Bible....peace
