The Almighty gave us rights, there is no doubt about that.<br />My issue is the term "holy war". I am not orthodox, but I am a believer in the resurrection. We see that we have to stand up for what we believe, but not in the way he is saying. Our example is the messiah. He showed us how to act in the face of aggression. Why do we as believers have a hard time doing this? Because our pride gets in the way. We think we need to go after the aggressors when in reality we need to simply show them "the way". If they kill us, then good. We have finished our work, and have a reward in heaven. If they walk away then we have our lives, and another day to proclaim the truth. If they change their mind, and become believers, then we have gained a brother/sister. <br />We shouldn't applaud the deeds of the wicked, (when muslims kill other muslims) and we shouldnt follow the mindset of those who advocate wicked deeds, even if it seems good. Please think about these things before we get our youth into verbal/physical fights with those who are not believers of the resurrection.
