You my brother are reading this ayah without proper context. Did you read aya 1-9 to understand what kind of topic is being discussed?
Copy paste of Quran for your political purpose is worse than munafiqs. So don't be a munafiq and read first. and understand first.
Well, before passing judgments, you should have gone through the context of that ayah, the previous ayat, the 9th one is relevant with it, it tells about the disputes between Muslims. And the sentence, "Muslims are but Brothers" applies generally, it's not about a certain time or incident.
In year 2012, and in Pakistan (or any other country), this ayah has to be understood in proper context. Use your own brain brother, do not fall into Mullah and Ayatullah trap.
I don't give a damn to Mullahs or Ayatollahs or whatever. I personally follow no one, I'm a great admirer of Allama Iqbal who wasn't a Mullah in any sense, next time, you use your brain and don't pick just one thing from my post, go back to that page and read everything that I wrote, and reply to every ayat and Hadith that I quoted, then we can have an argument.
Otherwise Pakistan will remain the play ground of Sunni terrorists attacking innocent Shias (and Shia terrorists attacking Sunnis where they can).
Totally out of context, the terrorism in Pakistan is due to many reasons, it has nothing to do with the topic we are discussing here.
Country is like your house. You must protect it by protecting its borders.
When did I say that we shouldn't? I said, we shouldn't go for something that will be beneficial for us but disastrous for other Muslim states.
Even blood brothers put up walls around their houses. Don't they?
Their own kids and wife always takes precedence over the blood relations. Such is the nature of human society. Only monkeys and chimps don't have a concept of walls around the house even though they look like humans, but they are still chimps.
And chimps do not have a concept of national boundary either. Even though all chimps are bound with the some sort of brother hood hood.
Again, totally out of context, the boundaries you are talking about are already there, they need to be demolished in my view, you can still keep your identity, as I'm Pakistani and I'm very proud of this fact but first I'm a Muslim, that's my ideology, and anything which goes against my ideology, I'll go against it.
And Chimps don't have access to PDF as well, but now I believe they have, after reading your totally 'out of context' post
Same way you setup walls (some times real and sometimes virtual) around your city, and your country. And you don't let every nathu khaira come in regardless of the fact that he is a Muslim or not.
Muslims have NO boundaries, if you're a Muslim, you must have a right to travel to anywhere in the Muslim world, Islam gives us this right. The wall or boundaries or whatever can be in minds, but physically they shouldn't exist.
If your blood brother is burning down his house, or doing something stupid. You won't burn down your kids and wife. Would you?
But I would do everything I can to stop him and save him.
Same thing applies to countries. A country of your birth or a country of your residence takes precedence over your religious brother. Just like the walls around your house take precedence over your blood brother.
Well, the bold part is against my religion, Islam.
And if your blood brother jumps over your wall, you will shoot him or do whatever you can in order to protect your kids and your wife.
That even if your father who's living in the same house tries to harm your children and wife, wouldn't you shoot him, wont you?
So my momin brother, do not over-read into the ayah above. It is a concept that you have to understand in the proper context.
peace to you.
I will again say, don't take out isolated points from my post, answer everything in context. Peace to you too.
