The Doctrine of Jihad


I wrote a short essay on Dracula Untold called "The Doctrine of Jihad."

Mehemd is driven by a desire to conquer other lands and expand his empire, but the film does not reveal why. For the real Mehmed of history, the desire for conquest was rooted in the doctrine of jihad.

Only idiots get their history lessons from hollywood movies.

A professor once told me that millions of people get their history lessons from watching movies. They don't read history books.

The historical reality is that Mehmed was a conqueror because of his Muslim faith. He attacked other cities and nations because he believed it was the will of Allah.

The film does not mention this because it is politically incorrect.

They would have to fear for their own safety otherwise.

reply

Yes, that's true. Christians are always "fair game" for attack in current films, but not Muslims.

Thank you for reading my post:

layman can figure itself that if muslims are attacking something = jihad.

Your an absolute moron my friend. This movie is full of lies & so are you. Do you think all the empires throughout history were gifted their land? ie Roman Empire, Byzantium etc First & foremost, Vlad defeats & kills Mehmed the II, when in actual fact, according to history, his own people or the Ottomans killed him. He is seen as some hero & the Ottomans as evil. How is something as satanic as a murderous vampire who indiscriminately impaled thousands of his own people, men, women, children & even animals, be such!!? The lies continue in the additional features in the movies Blu ray & DVD release. In the making, they state, "Vlad was more of a son that the Sultan wanted, even though Vlad was adopted." "Even when they were growing up, Mehmed could see that the Sultan favoured Vlad over himself." "If Mehmed the II could have handed over his throne, he would have given it to Vlad, because he had all the signs of being a great leader, which Mehmed on the other hand, was not that leader." "Vlad the impaler learnt this method of Impaling from the Turks" No where do they state that all this information is fictitious - fabricated lies!!!!!!!!! So that future generations can be brainwashed into thinking that this is actually what transpired. And let me tell you something about the Christian Crusaders. The Christian Crusaders travelled to the holy land and killed all the muslim men women & children - unarmed civilians. According to historians the blood of the muslims was such that the christians were ankle high in their blood with hundreds & thousands slaughtered. They even murdered other Christians that crossed their path on their noble voyage. Lets have a look at the lustrious work of Christian forces throughout history:

• 3.6 million muslims who have perished in Afganistan within the past 13 years
• the 2 million in Irak
• or the 200 thousand in Syria
• 3000 in Egypt
• or the 500 thousand in Burma/Myanmar
• the 200 thousand Chechen muslims killed by Russian forces
• or the hundreds of thousands killed in Palestine.
• Or central african republic & the myriad other murders by christian forces.
• Who started the first world war where about 17 million died? Muslims ?
• Who started the second world war where between 50 to 55 million perished? Muslims ?
• Who sent the nuclear bombs of Hiroshima and Nakazaki? Muslims ?
• Who killed more than 100 million Indians in North America? Muslims?
• Who killed more than 50 million Indians in South America? Muslims?
• Who killed & condemned into slavery, up to 77% of Africa’s 180 million population, muslims?
• Who killed about 20 million Aborigines in Australia? Muslims?
• Who slaughtered 5 million citizens in Vietnam, muslims?
• Who slaughtered over 500 thousand citizens in Bosnia, infront of the eyes of so called United Nations, muslims?

In a Western produced documentary that I watched on tv (cant recall title), the Christian historians stated that the muslims of Islamic Spain (711-1492) Andalusia, were 100 years ahead of the Christians. They were mostly slaughtered & forced to take up Christianity, as some managed to retreat to Africa. Would you like to know the quote of Nobel Prize winner, Physicist Pierre Curie? He stated, "Of the 30 books that remained from Islamic Spain, we were able to split the atom. Had we have salvaged half of the 1 million books that we burnt, we would have long been orbiting other galaxies."

Thank you for reading my essay. I don't appreciate being called a moron though. You weaken your argument when you insult me. It is not a virtue to insult someone.

The purpose of my essay wasn't to point out the sins of Christian knights, which no doubt, have been many.

I wrote a short essay explaining the doctrine of Jihad as taught in the Qur'an, and how this motivated Mehmed II.

I think (I hope) I made a convincing argument.

One of the differences between Islam and Christianity is that the former teaches Muslims to go to war against unbelievers,

The New Testament, in contrast, has no such doctrine. Christian knights did bad things not because of Christian doctrine, but because they were bad men.

The history of Islam shows that it is not a religion of peace. There is only peace when everyone submits to Islam.

Not to mention that Islam teaches its followers to kill those who left Islamic faith, while Cristianity doesn't. I'm an atheist, and had I been raised by a Muslim family, I don't think I'd be here right now. That's why I can feel more respect towards Christians than towards Muslims.

reply

Yes, it's disturbing how millions of Muslims support the death penalty for apostasy. Pew Research has did polls on this.

Turks crying about a vampire movie.

When will you cry about the armenian/greek/assyrian genocide?
Or the 270 million deaths caused by islam?
And erdogan who is starting to look more and more like a muslim hitler?

Some of your points are true, others are lies.
77% of africa? Are you retarded?
Slavery was there long before europeans set foot in africa.
And maybe you should do some research on islam and slavery. More europeans were enslaved than africans were shipped to America for example. And slavery still exists mainly in islamic countries. qatar, saudi-arabie, morocco, turkye

oh silly toby, dont you know? islam is the religion of peace!
they can do NO WRONG WHATSOEVER. they are a tolerant, civilized religion that can take humor with a straight face. they are incapable of commiting heinous crimes like murdering a woman that helped them in a shelter. nope, a wizard did it.
they are absolutely not destroying the culture of western europe.
they abide by whatever counties laws are to the letter. they absolutely do.

The crusades transpired as a retaliation against the Muslim conquests that spread across Africa and the middle east. You can't honestly be serious in thinking Muslims were the victims. Watch this to just just how blood thirsty the big bad evil crusaders were...

NONE of those were "Christian forces". That's an incredibly bold claim to make without a shred of evidence. What was the purpose of those wars? How was Christianity involved in any way? State your logic.

This is a shockingly misinformed post consisting of atypically out-of-context verses from the Quran which is not unheard of from those that have a vendetta against the religion. The arguments you present are so ridiculous that they do not even merit a response, if only that some naive person should read your post and have it in them that this is the truth.

For example, your quote from the Quran 8:12 was revealed at the Battle of Badr, in which 1000 pagan soldiers marched towards Madinah where there were but 300 Muslims able to defend. Why have you not included the verses that come before an after the once you handpicked out? In particular 8:13, 8:15 and 8:19. Your arguments are atypical for an Islamophobe.

Before the 90s, it took people decades to study Islam and get a thorough understanding of Koran, Hadith and Sharia, but today everyone is an 'expert' on Islam, because internet. Both Muslims and non-Muslims have fallen into this delusion that a Google search, a spin through wikipedia and the odd YouTube video makes them qualified to write papers on the subject. Its a complete joke, especially when non-Muslims, who dont even understand Arabic are suddenly well versed enough to understand the finer points of sharia and the rules concerning Jihad.
