himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?........"[/color][/i]
read it all....
Luke 10:25-37
Should I then just disregard it as you did with my statements about Islam's teachings about neighbours? Very disingenuous Abu.
BECAUSE ACCORDING TO ISLAM ALLAH.....Neighbors, are
moslem neighbors.
"O ye who believe!
Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)."
Koran 9.123
"Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are
hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves....."
Koran 48.29
And those that warrant mercy [kindness] from moslems, are
ONLY those persons that enslave themselves, and submit themselves to ISLAM's authority over their lives.
"Allah forbids you not,
with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just.
Allah only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong."
Koran 60.8, 9i

Basically, any stranger, is our 'neighbor'.
i.e.
Even complete strangers and 'unbelievers' are to be regarded as our 'neighbors' - according to God.
I think few Christians implement, or even believe this.
If they don't, it does not excuse me from not taking it 'on-board'.
[and yes, i have invited
complete strangers, who i met [in the supermarket] in town, and had them stay overnight in my home. and they were not even Christians.]

Exodus 22:21
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him...
Yeh we know, like the Midianites, Amelekites etc. Ah, you mean those people in the land that the God of Israel classed as criminals,
BECAUSE OF THE THE WICKED THINGS THEY DID, and NOT because of who they were not ?
Leviticus 18:24
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled:
therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments,
and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27 (
For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
Leviticus 20:22
Ye shall therefore keep
all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you:
for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.i

Abu,
Do moslems [in moslem majority nations] typically behave like 'Samaritans', towards poor NON-MOSLEM guests who are sojourning in their countries ?
Every single non-Muslim I've ever met who travelled through a Muslim country said they loved it, and the most talked about aspect is always the hospitality of the people. Interestingly I've met several non-Muslims (and people who are now Muslims, but were non-Muslims at the time) who travelled through the Middle East, visiting "Israel" also, and they all tell much the same story. Friendly, hospitable, welcoming Arabs, but arrogant, rude Jews.
Proof is in the pudding my friend, not in your empty words.
Exactly so.
