What is the Islamic law regarding military service to a Caliphate?

Care to be a little more specific?

If you can run fast and wave a white flag you are accepted.

As opposed to the Zionist policy of "If you don't mind shooting little kids and women and using them as human shields you're accepted, oh and kicking old folks out of their homes, often with bulldozers"

Is it obligatory?

For women also?

For all Muslims or only those inside the Caliphate? It is my understanding that Muslims are called to visit Mecca once in their life. Is there any similar calling for Muslims who live outside the Caliphate to fight for the Caliphate?

For how long?

Women serve in the IDF and some of my best colleagues were female.

Muslim countries do not permit women to serve.
Muslims see women as inferior and this is one of many basic rights they are denied.

I'm not aware of any obligatory state military service according to Islam.

However if a Muslim land is occupied or attacked, then it's obligatory upon all Muslims to protect it, as a group responsibility.

What exactly are you driving at there? You think Muslims for instance from Australia, would have to go and serve in the army of the Caliphate, like how Jewish Australians today go and do their military service for the Zionist army? And that therefore somehow they are not loyal Australian citizens?

I know you're so full of yourself you can't help but jump in front and toot your own horn, but I think freediver was asking about Islam and a Caliphate.

Women have been involved in military campaigns since the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) himself.

You are so full of stinking turds they are bursting out of your mouth.

Apologies. I found it now. It seems I had you confused with Malik. Is this a Shite thing?

Yes, a small levy is imposed because Muslims are obligated to serve in the military and protect the citizens of the Islamic State, that includes non-Muslims. Non Muslims however are not obligated to join the army, nor defend the nation in case of attack.

Interesting. I know you think the last Caliphate ended last century. However I am pretty sure Falah considered Afghanistan to be a proper Islamic state. Would that mean he would feel obligued to go and defend it? Perhaps that is where he disappeared to.

I was giving you the example of why Jews are more advanced and fair than Islam.
Maybe another reason why we have kicked Muslims all over the battlefields each time they are foolish enough to attack us.

This is your army Avram? Murdering women and little kids who surrendered? You must be so proud of these animals, and the scumbags who make a mockery of the war crimes they committed by giving them 45 days.

Israeli soldier gets 45 days for killings

An Israeli soldier charged with manslaughter after shooting dead a Palestinian mother and daughter waving a white flag during the 2009 offensive in the Gaza Strip has been sentenced to 45 days in prison after a plea bargain changed the charges to illegal use of a weapon.

A statement on Sunday from the Israeli military spokesman noted the plea bargain was reached "following a mediation process and upon examination of the evidence with the recommendation of the military court".

A manslaughter conviction could have carried a 20-year prison sentence.

The soldier, who has since completed his military service and was identified in media reports only as S, was accused of killing Ria Abu Hajaj, 64, and her daughter Majda, 37, as they were waving a white flag.

They were part of a group fleeing the fighting on January 4, 2009, the first day of Israel's ground offensive against Gaza militants.

Soldiers in Gaza had received reports that a fighter, who could open fire on the troops, was hiding among women trying to get away.

S, and other soldiers, opened fire at the women, in defiance of orders.

His lawyers argued there was no proven connection between his opening fire and the deaths of the two women. They further claimed the two events took place at different times.

The incident was one of several cited in the United Nations-initiated Goldstone Report, compiled after South African judge Richard Goldstone led a fact-finding mission to the Gaza Strip to investigate claims of war crimes during Israel's December 2008-January 2009 Operation Cast Lead against Gaza militias.

The 575-page report accused both the Israeli military and Palestinian militants of war crimes and said Israeli soldiers had deliberately targeted civilians.

Goldstone [a Jew!] later retracted some of his accusations against Israel.

The other members of his team did not.

Hey abu, your mate falah put up a thread on aussie muslim about a bunch of "kaffur" accidents and how it is gods will because they are non-believers. He even posted an article on  all of the aussie tourists that are dying in bali. 2 of those deaths were young boys. One was electrocuted and the other was hit by a boat. Very poor taste and disrespectful to the dead. How do you feel about such threads from a website that you represent? Is that the freedom of speech you feel so strongly about?

Apparently Abu has been banned from there. Otherwise I am sure he would be over there telling Falah to pull his head in, like all the other Muslims are.

Of course it is God's will, just as if they are believers, it is also God's will. I'm afraid you've completely misunderstood the concepts involved there.

Firstly I do not represent that site. I am a member, just like any other.

Secondly, if you'd read the thread properly, you'd have noticed my sentiments expressed in there. Clearly you just read what you want, taking things out of context and not even bothering to read the full dialogue.

That's  funny freediver. Like you alluded to, he's on here pulling us up and disgraceful things written on his muslim site never get so much as a complaint from him. Very selective indeed.

why the f*ck are you posting here?

Because I live in Australia this year and I post on this and USA and French forums.
Like all Israelis we stay as a reservist after military service until 40 years old.

It is important to us.

Of course you don't wanna comment about being a member of a despicable inhuman terrorist organisation like that, which goes around butchering women and children.

You're a maggot.

As a organization we defend and protect our people from the aggression of our neighbors.
That is what we do.
Like my father and uncles before me I am proud Israeli and serve army service and then reservist.

Never again will the Jewish people suffer holocausts.
Ever, again!

So its bad if muslims serve in their military but good if jews do huh.

SOB

Never mind all of the people killed by terrorists bombings inside Isreal hey. Oh, and we'll skip the rockets fired at Isreal . And we'll even skip the fact that a whole bunch of neighbouring arab muslim countries tried to invade them and had their butts kicked. I just don't understand how a person with half a neuron could overlook such facts.

Dave, when you are responding, you can scroll down and highlight a piece of text you want to quote, and hit the "mark and quote' button. It inserts the text and some BBCode to put a box around it. There is also a button to insert the BBCode around some text - the one with the blue arrow above the colour bar.

Sorry Freediver. I'm hopeless on a computer. Cheers.

ٍOk, so you think the Muslims mishandled the mass illegal immigration of Jews into their land and their taking over it and turning it into a Jewish-state...

So tell us what you would do if Muslims did the same to Australia? I'm honestly interested in what you think the correct way to handle such a massive swamping and saturation of your population by a foreign people seeking to overrun your land and make it exclusively theirs.

Not one of you tossers on here has ever honestly answered this scenario, and I doubt you specifically have the grey matter to be the first, but please at least attempt it, be my guest.

Mishandled??

A bus of women and children deliberately blow up by bomb.
Killing people in schools and marketplaces?
Shooting at me from inside a alleged refugee camp?

Let me tell you, it is not mishandled - they are terrorist pigs who we will drive into the sea if we wish.

I feel very strong about the deaths of innocent civilians killed by Muslim terror and it is a reason for why I am so proud to serve my time in the IDF and stay a reservist.

And so proud to kill innocent civilians yourself. If it disgusts you so much when others do it then dont do it yourself.
