Jihadis Twice As Likely To Be Students of Science Than Of Sharia (telegraph.co.uk)

The Telegraph is reporting that prominent jihadists "are twice as likely to have studied science at university than subjects related to Islam," citing a new report by the Centre on Religion and Geopolitics. "The report, which analyzed the histories of 100 of the most prominent jihadist leaders of the last three decades, said that despite claiming to be the sole interpreters of Islamic theology, they often had little or no training in the subject." Osama bin Laden went to a secular school and studied economics at college with little formal Islamic training, while the "underpants bomber," who tried to detonate a bomb in a plane over Detroit in 2009, got his degree in mechanical engineering. Of the 100 cases examined, "Around half had attended university, with 57 per cent of them studying science subjects, compared to only 28 per cent studying Islamic subjects."

Quran 4:89: They (infidels) desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.
Quran 8:12: Instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers;
Quran 2:191: kill the disbelievers wherever we find them
Quran 22:19-22: for them (the unbelievers) garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods.
Quran 8:12: Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.
Quran 8:7: Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: Wipe the infidels out to the last.
Quran 8:59: The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah's enemy.
Quran 8:60: Prepare against them whatever arms and cavalry you can muster that you may strike terror in the enemies of Allah, and others besides them not known to you.
Quran 9.29 Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
Quran 47:4: Strike off the heads of the disbelievers and, after making a wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives.
Sorry but it sounds like they are following their book quite closely. Oh and before some SJWs pull the bullshit "Christians have bad passages in their books too" strawman? Yeah the Brussels attacks killed more than Christian extremists have killed in the west in THIRTY YEARS. One single attack racked up a bigger bodycount than jesus freaks could get in 30 years. the simple fact of the matter is the other religions? Grew the fuck up, Islam didn't. When was the last time you saw a stoning outside a Jewish temple? Seen any thieves hands chopped off outside your local baptists church?
You are taking a culture that is living like its 1216 and trying to accept them into 2016 and its never gonna work, all you will get is more terror attacks. Oh and don't bother with the tired "the majority is peaceful" because a silent majority DOES NOT MATTER. The Germans were mostly peaceful, the NSDAP killed 60 million plus. The majority of Russians are really nice, the USSR still racked up nearly 100 million dead. North Korea, Cambodia, we have literally thousands of years of history showing that the majority DOES NOT MATTER if they are not willing to put their asses on the line and actively turn on a dangerous minority.
When was the last time you saw a Muslim community calling for a Mosque to be closed for calling for jihad? the last time you saw a Muslim community call for a Mullah to be arrested for inciting viol,ence? I rest my case.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
Let's look at the first passage you quoted. You do know that the 'they' referred to is people who have lapsed from their faith, right? And that the surrounding text says that they should be allowed to leave in peace if they will go. It even states that there is no point in trying to convert them back.
Funny how a little context totally changes a thing. Throughout the history of religion, various nutjobs have taken bits and pieces of their preferred holy writing out of context and bent them for their own purposes. You should probably look those passages up yourself and read the surrounding passages.
You should also know that Jews and Christians are explicitly NOT infidels according to the Quran.
Of course, there are a lot of nutjobs in the Middle East taking a lot of things out of context but it is a mistake to paint all Muslims everywhere with the same brush.
