The USC website is very good and informative.  As far as references are concerned, you can quote a surah or ahadith, provide the necessary information (like surah and verse number, hadith number and book) and then provide a link.  For instance, if you quote the verse about the Children of Israel and how God forbid them to kill unjustly, all you need is the Surah name (Al-Maida or "The Table") and the verse number (32).  If you quote a hadith, the best thing to do is mention which compilation (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud etc.), volume number, book number and hadith number.  Of course, provide a link.  For example, the hadith concerning the people from the 'Ukl tribe is mentioned in the Bukhari compilation:

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234:

Narrated Abu Qilaba:

Anas said, "Some people of 'Ukl or 'Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they went as directed and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away all the camels. The news reached the Prophet early in the morning and he sent (men) in their pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were put in 'Al-Harra' and when they asked for water, no water was given to them." Abu Qilaba said, "Those people committed theft and murder, became infidels after embracing Islam and fought against Allah and His Apostle ."

The link is: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhar i/059.sbt.html#005.059.505

I hope this helps.
Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds. (Surat al-Anaam: 162)

Brother Peaemaker what does this mean in the following: But, you can't bomb the entire world for that. What if there is a terrorist in your neighbourhood? Would you bomb that entire area? 

From what I read the poster did not refer to any bombing of other individuals and/countries so why the references to bombing? I'm curious.

Assalamu Alaikum!

Thanks for asking your question, brother.

This thread was created in relation to the locked thread; therefore, you may understand better if you go through locked thread including my last post in that thread:

http://www.islamicity.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9227& ;PN=1&TPN=3

Then see the statement in the first post of this thread:

"Since Muslims created the disaster during 9/11/01 in New York, what would have been a better response than going into Afghanistan? I am open on this and would appreciate Muslim opinions."

Now let us see what I wrote in part in reply to that:

"Who did Sept 11, 01?

Terrorists did. Don't use the term "Muslim terrorists?" And terrorists are everywhere regardless of their claim to belong to any faith. But, you can't bomb the entire world for that. What if there is a terrorist in your neighborhood? Would you bomb that entire area? Of course not. "

The crux of the whole matter was to express that just because there is a terrorist in a country doesn�t justify that a war should be waged against that nation. What would you do ( what would anyone do�inserted anyone for the sake of clarity ) if there is a terrorist in your ( or anyone�s ) neighborhood? You ( or one ) wouldn�t bomb that entire neighborhood to get rid of a terrorist.

Yes, we should bring criminals/terrorists of all kinds to justice, but we cannot punish those who are innocent.

War in Afghanistan and Iraq, for example, is not working. It is killing more and more people�Americans, Britons, Afghanis and Iraqis etc. Iraq and Afghanistan have been named as "top failed states."

Moreover, it is making the world a more dangerous place to live in. Therefore, the policy should be scrutinized as it is not working.

Why should entire country or the countrymen of a nation, who have nothing to do with actions of a terrorist, be punished for the actions of the perpetrators of the crime?

That is the point I was trying to address in a very limited time frame.

I hope this helps, brother.

Peace

Hi Vics,

I accept your apology.  I don�t carry any hostile feelings about you or anyone here.

It appears to me that I did not and could not explain to you the matter at length due to shortage of time. Any inconvenience in this regard is regretted. You may like to see my previous post in this thread addressed to brother Israfil for more clarification.

May Allah guide us all.

Peace

Assalamu Alaikum,

The following is addressed to everyone including myself:

In order to avoid derailing this thread any further, as it comments/complaints section�let us discuss only relevant issues here. Therefore, matters of political nature should be discussed in World Politics or Current Events. Enquiry of Islam by non-Muslims should be discussed in "Islam for non-Muslims" section, please avoid discussing political issues there; political turmoil and religious issues should be kept apart�failing to do so may negatively affect the spirit of discussion and communication.

Let us also see the guidelines so that we may comply:

May Allah guide us all.

Peace

Peace be with you and us all.  Thank you very much for the above explanations.   I have questions about 14 verses in the Qur'an, and their proper interpretation.  I will ask about them one by one.

Could someone explain to be the proper interpretation of Q 5.51? 

Please give qur'anic references if possible, or please give me the proper Sunnah references.  I would also like to know if all Muslims interpret it that way or are there differences in the interpretation?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best wishes,

Vic S.
