Dear Gilberto,
No assumption on my part... I assure you. My error is asuming that because he said "Our Sunni faith... etc." the belief would have some basis in the Quran. And, if I remember correctly you are Sunni ... obviously a reliable source of information.
If there is no basis for this "stipulation" in the Quran perhaps you could shed some light on how this "belief" could have become distorted - from what source?).
I would also welcome comments from anyone-else.
I didn't intentionally single you out Gilberto, I simply thought you were possibly the most knowledgible; having a Sunni perspective. Unfortunately, I'm probably in the (US) ignorant majority concerning the "branches" of Islam. Although I do think the citizen on the street is beginning to realize that not all Muslims follow the same teachings.
lovingly, Sandra
The following is a quote taken from a news item... Musab
al-Zarqawi: "Our Sunni faith stipulates that the sword and
bullets be the only dialogue between us and the worshippers of
the cross."
Could someone, perhaps Gilberto, tell me the particular Quranic text being referenced in this statement ?
Why would you assume that the Quran actually supports anything like that?
Peace
Gilberto
