Bestcasescenario I don't buy into this shabab nonsense, they send different tribes to blow up different degaans, they would never send a murusade to blow up daynile or an isse maxamud to do garowe. I notice their tactics, they send other tribes or clans who are enemies to different towns cuz they know tribe is king in the land and would jeopardise their mission. But I won't buy the nonsense of if u dont agree with my version of god or my politics your going to hell. Why dont u just say U disagree with me you disagree with allah, cuz that's what ur really saying. Juxa was right, if u encounter opposition just say your going to hell you kuffar!!! why bring god into the beef between me and u, why sxb? why u need god to back u up when u encounter difference? it's so childish. It's the same thing in politics, if me and u dont agree on something, we widen the beef to our tribe or party or religion. We find comfort in numbers, it's like two ppl who beef and then we bring our gangs. Like WTF!!!
But what's funny is I am secular and humans have always been secular sxb from day 1. I will use my brain, body, and everything I got to survive, I won't sit there and pray to god to change my situation. That's all secular is sxb to rely on yourself to survive using your brains. Science all it is look at something, explain it and then test it. Where-as most humans look at something, they explain it(myths, god, tradition) but never test it. The only difference between science and everything else is 'testing' nothing else what makes that haram to test something!!!
That's why god isn't relevant in science, how u going to test god and what sort of measure are we going to use to test him? it's not possible he isn't something physical. But these physical things in-front of us, if we come up with an explanation, we also need to come up with a way to test our explanation so it's proven!!! that's all science is.
Pertaining to the testability of faith, we believe but we ask on what basis. Introspective analysis on the nature of our faith can lead us to examine the relationship between proofs we have and the beliefs we are expected to espouse. If they match, Your beliefs will make sense that way. The idea/claim that you have faith blindly in something you haven't thought about is not true. Faith requires justifications. I do admit most Muslims are Muslims without making an effort to learn every aspect of their religion. But that is not bad since Islam is comfortably rational religion.
The idea of God is beyond the material world and for that reason something of the material nature like science and how we approach it, can not be used as measure for something that is not materialistic in nature. One is metaphysical issue and the other physical and here. The two branches are totally separate but lead to one common source. What Islam is saying in text, Science is saying in results. There is Creator of things.
Did I say something that made you think about Alshabab? I scrolled up and realize I didn't proofread my last post. I meant to say I could NOT defend my faith online sometime in the past when I joined online forums. I was forced to read up on Islam and be able to defend my faith to a reasonable level.
