From the Quran:
Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
— Qur'an, [Quran 2:191]
I guess its how you interpret the Quran. It clearly says "kill them where ever you find them".

Yes I said us white guys, as I am a blue eyed blond haired guy.
Thesaneone said I was saying only white people shoot, try some reading comprehension, no where did I say that.
So no, it was not quoted correctly, NO WHERE did I say it was ONLY them. Just asked about them specifically.
My words are asking what people have done to police their own, and you want to bring up legislature that was fought tooth and nail calming it was backed!? What world do you live in??
Or saying that people supported calling them terrorist?! Holy hell, hello fantasy land.
What laws are you even talking about btw? What were the new ones in response to each shooting.
You are playing word games. YOU need some reading comprehension. You stated white guys. You did not say anyone else or imply that your statement included anyone else. You said white guys. You didn't have to, but you did. You could have left it at your culture. That included a lot of people. But you singled out white guys. It doesn't matter how much you try to backpedal and rewrite it now, the truth is out there for everyone to see.
These word games you play are getting old, and are treading very close to full blown trolling.
Says the troll.
This post serves no purpose other than name-calling. It does nothing to advance the conversation or the thread. Any comments from the mods?

Not my fault you and thesaneone are putting only in there when I didn't say it.
I am not hiding from what I said, I asked what that poster has done about his culture which would be white male.
Never did I say that we are the only ones doing the killing.
Only ones playing word games are you guys trying to twist.
Do you apologize and push for gun laws when ever someone goes and kills people with a gun?
Do you feel the need to do so?
www.abovetopsecret.com... Great thread on this topic of people needing to apologize and police their own.
Go get educated.

That's rich, but I guess as long as it's you doing the name calling and calling Sremmos a troll you'd prefer the mods to do nothing.
It was thoroughly explained to you twice why you were wrong.
I see you've replied again since...
That's trolling at its finest, Vroom.

Alright, you knew what I said, even though I didn't say it.
I never said only white guys shoot people, I asked if someone apologizes or polices them after one does.
End of story, no twisting.
We are done.
Have a good day.
Oh and Islam would just be the tool these people are using, so I guess we shouldn't worry about that.
Are you trying to imply that i hate white people?
Isn't that race baiting?

Oh no no no...you don't get to do that. I am using sremmos' logic now. I didn't call him a troll. I said, "These word games you play are getting old, and are treading very close to full blown trolling." I did not call him a troll or imply that he trolled anyone. I said "very close". YOU ARE TWISTING MY WORDS!!!

The Islamic World is going through turmoil right now, I would argue it’s possibly worse than the events that befell the Muslim world in 1979. We have had the horrors of ISIS, the terrorist group that has killed untold thousands in a violent campaign slaughtering their fellow Muslims in a twisted quest all in the name of Islamic nationalism. We have seen hundreds of thousands of Syrians displaced, caught in the middle of a vicious civil war and a terrorist organisation that seeks to subjugate Muslims a draconian interpolation of the Qur’an. Hundreds are dying every week trying to escape this war zone to safer territory and in a cruel twist now over 700 have been killed as they practice their faith peacefully in their holiest of places in Mecca....

Sharia Law is used to justify the stoning of adulterers, to justify capital punishment for those who choose to leave Islam, and to justify the whipping and imprisonment of Muslims who choose to drink alcohol. According to mainstream Muslims, Sharia Law is God’s law. The Quran, however, states, “There is no compulsion in religion.” Therefore, spirituality cannot be enforced through governmental or religious institutions.
The term, Sharia is Arabic for ‘path,’ meaning ‘the path to a spiritually fulfilling life.’ In the literal sense it means, “a path towards a source of life sustenance.” (In the context of 7th century desert Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, this idea of sustenance is understandingly linked to a path leading to a water-hole.) Understandably, this path means different roadways for different people. How do we take a morally sound path? This concept starts with the Quran’s mandate of reading the book for oneself, for using our God-given right to self-determination—our right to choose (see Quran 18:29 and 2:256). Individuals are expected to make their own moral choice to follow the Quran, or deviate from its path, but instead we have Sharia Law which forces us to follow the Quran!
Sharia Law in its current state is the antithesis of Sharia. It forces us to be herded like blind sheep. It takes away our right to make the moral decision which we are supposed to be rewarded for in the afterlife. Not only is the practice of Islam not supposed to be enforced, many aspects of Sharia Law is not based on teachings of the Quran.
How was Sharia Law developed? The laws compiled to make Sharia Law are a hybrid of pre-Islamic laws—such as stoning, which is rooted in Jewish laws—secular laws, social norms, and—depending on where you put your finger in history—laws of colonialists.
Not only is Sharia Law an extrapolation of the Quran and Hadith (A collection of sayings and actions claimed to be that of the Prophet and compiled two hundred years after his death), but its enforcement is inconsistent and based on different cultural interpretations. If Sharia Law is God’s law, then why is it enforced differently in different Muslim-majority countries? For example, adultery in Sudan is punishable by stoning, while in Malaysia the adulterers are caned. If Sharia Law is based on Islam then why is there punishment for drinking alcohol when there is no such mandate in the Quran? Saudi Arabia is the perfect example of the distortion between Islam and politics. Sharia Law is used as a tool to assert control. Muslim governments (note I did not say Islamic governments) consolidate power by enforcing submission of their Muslim population in the name of religion. After all, who can argue with God’s law?
The fact remains that Sharia Law is a human construct, fabricated by politicians in partnership with religious Mullahs of the day for their own authoritarian political control.
A fact not often taught to Muslims is that Sharia Law did not exist during Prophet Muhammad’s life, nor did he create one. After all, the Quran is supposed to be the complete book. But look what we’ve done; the Quran and the Hadith now share equal billing!
To be fair to the Muslims of years gone by, the reason the Hadith was compiled was because they wanted to practice an Islam that was as close to that of Prophet Muhammad as possible. The initial sincerity cannot be discounted. But somehow, cultural traditions—like forced marriage and stoning—trumped the Quran’s teachings. Shouldn’t we draw the line when a hadith contradicts the Quran? “… Who is more evil than the one who fabricates lies and attributes them to God (Quran 29:68)?”
Does Sharia Law still sound like God’s law to you?
When a Muslim is imprisoned for expressing his ideas, and then accused of blasphemy against Islam and the Prophet, do you really think the Quran is being upheld? The soul of God is breathed into the fetus of every human being (Ruh, Quran 32:9). Do you think God approves of stoning someone to death when God values life over all else?
Next time Sharia Law is used to substantiate an unjust punishment, as a Muslim, please ask yourself, is Sharia Law truly Islamic?

Narrated Abu Qilaba: "Anas said, "Some people of 'Ukl or 'Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine. So they went as directed and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away all the camels. The news reached the Prophet early in the morning and he sent (men) in their pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were put in 'Al-Harra' and when they asked for water, no water was given to them." Abu Qilaba said, "Those people committed theft and murder, became infidels after embracing Islam and fought against Allah and His Apostle . (Sahih Bukhari, Ablutions (Wudu'), Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234)"
