Amirul Mumininah –Khaliphah Omar (RA).
http://www.islamicity.com/articles/Articles.asp?ref=IC1012-4389
Here is a nice read about the life of one of the Caliphates, Omar (RA). I found the article well argued and addressed some of the concerns at hand, especially the "No compulsion in religion." It is overwhelming to see how the author of "The 100" positioned both the Prophet (PBUH) and Omar (RA). I hope you find value in this.
On a note, I understand about the current world confusion on certain things, especially with the terror age we are currently in. As far as I can visualize, terror is just in people who wants to do the act. It is found in all people of different races, tribes, religions, nations, etc...Here and there, things happen, and we are awakened from our slumbers.
I despise terror of any sort, ranging from Government terror, to fanatical and individual terror. Terror is wrong and must be condemned in no small terms. At the same time, generalization and provocation of singly Islam might not be the solution. In fact it creates the tendency for reciprocity especially if you don't belong to that sect, and your habitually hanging onto something, which truly poke you inside, and you just have to let it out. No matter how much one whines about it, the truth remains, you can never convince me (personally) that Islam means terror. A critique on these criminals is necessary, just be careful how you word it, so in your effort to enlighten and expose terror, you are not creating an environment of finger pointing or accusation, especially on a religion as magnificent as Islam is with its many followers.
There is an interesting part guys; that is the “hajj” (pilgrimage) that just got done in Mecca. I think that represents truly what Islam is about.
Emphatically though the issue with the Somalis is not religion, it is their family lineages –Rehwah kuhyi, reh kohfur, rehwah ghez, majer tate, harghesah, etc…
On a last note, as we approach Christmas, I wish all our Christian brothers and sisters a happy celebration. People all over must live in co-existence, simply live and let live! If you don’t understand fully that of others, just save yourself –let it be!
Merry X-mass and a happy new year.
Kind Regards,
Yero.
