Islamic Theology For Kafir

… In the view of many Jurists, A Muslim must not only worship ONE God, he must call upon others, if necessary by dint of arms, to worship the One God. A Muslim is not only to abstain from drinking alcohol and eating pork; he must also destroy strong drink and ban the sale of pork. Non-Muslims are expected, indeed required, to convert to Islam, but Muslims are prohibited, on the pain of death, to convert to any other religion. A Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim woman, but a non-Muslim man cannot, on pain of death, marry a Muslim woman, because, it is believed, in marriage the man is the dominant partner. In this connection, Mawdudi declared, “Non-Muslims have been granted the freedom to stay outside the Islamic fold and to cling to their false, made-made ways if they do so wish. They have, however, absolutely have no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God’s earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines. (Maududi, Towards Understanding the Qu’ran). Power or authority “in any part of God’s earth” must be exercised by Muslims. In any encounter between Muslims and non-Muslim, therefore, Muslims must dominate, that is, exercise power over non-Muslims. This is to enable Muslims effectively command good and forbid evil, For “…whoever really wants to root our mischief and chaos from God’s earth… it is useless for him to work as a mere preacher. He should stand up and finish the government run on wrong principles, snatch power from wrongdoers and established a government based on correct principles and following a proper system…” (“Two Conceptions of da’wa Jamaat I Islami and Tablighi Jaamat). “Islamic certainties exclude the right of the non-Muslim to disagree to insist, for instance, that the Islamic Sharia is in many respects neither just nor fair, or to retort that for those whose recent forefathers were enslaved by the Muslims, such grandiloquent claims are sawdust in the mouth” (Hiskett, The course of Islam in Africa.).
