Think your safe from the Mujahideen?

Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies; do not kill the children. When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them....If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them.

(Sahih Muslim 4294)

Sure, you're safe. As long as you do 1 of three things.

  1. Convert to Islam
  2. If not, pay the "tax" The Jizya
  3. Fight

What's your choice? I know what mine is. In the past, I have never been a big fan of war. Those days are gone. Actually, I'm looking forward to this one. I served during the Gulf War and I'm ready for this one.
