Please note that this post is aimed at religious tolerance. As regards fight back as self defense, can we interpret the ‘cut and choose’ Qur'an passage (Quran 2:191). “And kill them wherever you find them…(2:191) as fighting back as self defense? Please see the Qur'an passge from 2:190 – 195. Is this preaching violence, terrorism or transgression? 2:190 Fight in the way of Godthose who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. God does not like transgressors. 2:191 And kill them wherever you find them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah [Persecution] is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers. 2:192 And if they cease, then indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful. 2:193 Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah [Persecution] and [until] worship is for God. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors. 2:194 [Fighting in] the sacred month is for [aggression committed in] the sacred month, and for [all] violations is legal retribution. So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. And fear God and know that God is with those who fear Him. 2:195 And spend in the way of God and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, God loves the doers of good. |

Princewell2012: You've done well bro. Our lord is a mighty man in battle, He loves those who are courageous too. Do you notice that when Nehemiah and others were building the temple, ( like you're building your own home now physically or not), those guys held armours on one hand and built with the other). You remember the Jael story? David? Even Abraham when he lied ( weapon to keep Sarah) that Sarah was his sister, God didn't hold it against him. Please, you're correct to defend your life and your possession with or without arms sir. Ao nii sori ibu o. |

achorladey:Your post insinuated that there is some sort of gray area to this but Jesus Christ was absolute in His declaration that even that which we consider self-defense is out of the question. It is scary but it is the Truth. |

mamajaz:Jesus Christ did not call you to do as Nehemiah or abraham did. He called you to do as He commands you and He too did. So when Jesus Christ declared that it is a sin for you to fight your enemy in any way or form, He, Jesus Christ, the New Covenant Law of the Kingdom of God, expects you to obey. Self-defense is a sin. |
