Mosque attacked by arsonists in Oldham in suspected revenge attack for Manchester bombing

Mohammed makes jihad explicitly clear.

Allah makes it clear, not Muhammad (pbuh), not Qur'an is the word of God not man.

Muslims need to grapple with the fact that a literal interpretation of the teachings of Mohammed justifies holy war against the infidel.

No it doesn't, because if it did, rest assured I would either take abide by it, or I wouldn't be a Muslim - this isn't a case of me being unaware of what the Qur'an teaches and not following it. Jihad is allowed in times of self defence, you can't just go out and attack innocent people.

If we were ordered to wage war against "infidels", why have Muslim empires of the past given sanctuary to non-Muslims (e.g. Jewish people when they were under heavy persecution by the Europeans) time and time again?

Muslim communities are best positioned to help us fight Islamic supremacism, but first, you must accept that jihad is very much justified by Mohammed.

I won't be helping you fight anything unless you start campaigning that the West pulls out of Muslim-majority countries and stops bombing them. Quit being a hypocrite, you can't have it both ways.

And jihad is a completely legitimate thing, there is nothing to hide regarding that. There are clear rules to warfare in Islam and these terror groups don't abide by them, the problem is that they don't follow the Qur'an and Sunnah literally, not that they do as so many morons claim.

Whatever you learnt about Islam from, get a refund, because you obviously don't know much.
