I said:
Yes. It is a central value. The central value is to worship God(don't say
Allah if you don't speak Arabic we ares speaking in English and Allaahu=God).
I have put it forth many times so far. I've even quoted from the Qur'an. I
read the book in Arabic and I know that this is what it promotes. It says
'laa ikraaha feedeeni' meaning "There shall be no forcing concerning
order, religion and ways of life'. If you read other passages it is clear
that freedom of religion is key and so is being peacable as long as one
is not being wronged or fought and driven out of one's home for the
religion, order they the followers of the Qur'an are to espouse and for
all who are submissive to and for God. Freedom to practice one's
religion, order and ways of life are key to the Qur'an. When this is not
upheld then one is to defend one's self and to fight until those who
threaten this freedom of order, religion and way of life is non-existent
and the enemy establishes and keeps to the promotion of good and
well-being,(iqaamatusawlawaati) and are in compliance with
justice(eetaa'uzakawaati).
This also includes the rights of those who do devote themselves and
submit to God. These people are called 'mushrikoona billaahi' or 'kaafiroona
billaahi). The first equals 'Those who take equals with God' and the
other means 'those who deny, or disavow God(in action or word).
Godbless,
Anwar
