Four Britons 'killed fighting in Syria war with Al Qaeda rebels'

Based on what evidence do you know this?

Yep
I just watched it.
Its propaganda tbh.
I like how they put up English subtitles but you cant actually hear the people speaking.

Haha knew youd say that.

So is it incorrect? What would you say is actually happening?

Common sense. Give these nutters a shred of power and they enforce their religious fundamentalism on the populace. Try being a girl wanting an education in areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

slightly predictable


Well they have nothing to back it up with. All it was was a bunch of accusations and subtitles and praising of youth with guns.

Tbh saying Allahuakbar before killing a person gets to me a lot. Especially if the other person is muslim. In some ways i feel sorry for these people as they were probably subjected to propaganda.

So do you not agree with fighting against oppression?

Of course i agree with fighting oppression but who here is the oppressor?

One thing i noticed about that video (saw most of it) is the bad guys kept on changing. One time they were in uniform and others not. And we dont know who is who.

Good questions.

Who would you say the oppressors are?

Do bears **** in the woods? Is the Pope Catholic?

The article refers to them as "radicalised" and I would wager that the vast majority of those going out there to fight with the rebels would like to see a fundamentalist state emerging from the ashes.

Truthfully, these issues depend upon the consensus of the scholars and can be different depending on the opinion of each of the four madhabs. These are specific issues that I've never really looked at, so I can't really help you regarding your question. Perhaps you could post your question on the 'Ask about Islam' thread, and someone might be able to help.

Under properly implemented Sharia, yes.

Christians and Jews have lived with Muslims as neighbours for hundreds of years, and strived too(in an Islamic state(an example is the Egyptian Jews under Ottoman rule)). In fact, Jews have suffered more at the hands of Christians throughout history than they have from Muslims (a certain European Judeo-Christian political group and of course the Spanish Inquisition). Islamic antisemitism only arose in the ninteenth century and it is of the opinion of many scholars (one of them being Mark R.Cohen, a proffessor at Princeton specializing in Jewish and Muslim relations) that it arose as a result of Christians Arabs promoting nationalistic ideologies between the two groups.

Come on guys, at least Al Qaeda have set up a customer service/complaints line! What other 3rd force have that kind of attention to customer satisfaction! http://rt.com/news/al-qaeda-syria-complaints-156/

Bless em.
