Re:Jediism and the Islamic Faith 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I have a question. Relating directly to the following:

The Jedi faith corresponds to this through The primary connection between Jediism and the Islamic faith, which is a belief in an omnipotent, omnipresent, and perfect being that oversees the Universe. Jedi refer to it as the force.


As practitioner of the Islamic faith, can you really bring yourself to believing that evil uses Allah for their own bidding?

For example, if the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz commits an act against Dorothy using magick, can you really live with the idea that she is using Allah to accomplish such evil? (noting that the Wicked Witch of the West does not use the name Allah to accomplish anything)?

Re:Jediism and the Islamic Faith 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
i can indeed believe this for look at the modern extremeist..they use the name of Islam and Allah to perform horrendious acts. I believe it lies in our own misunderstanding and imperfectations that causes this to form...by the way I had a personal quetion for you randi..I couldn't help but notice the last name and wondered if you hold any relation to the Oxfords family in the Chicago area..If so,please pm me as I also am related to that branch of Oxfords through adoption.

sorry I didn't have the time to reply as I wanted earlier today as I had to rush off to a doctor's appointment. In reponse to the question Randi Oxford wrote...I believe the Force or Allah as Islamic follower deem it at it' esence is neither good nor evil,light nor dark...this essence contain all thing which are direct manifestations of the Force. We jut use these terms to try to define that Essence. And to clarify my belief a bit better, I don't believe so much that evil uses the Force or Allah directly but claims to do thing in the name of such manifestation through the misunderstanding and imperfection that is common to human nature.

Re:Jediism and the Islamic Faith 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
So - in simple terms (please correct me if im wrong) your saying some folk

Do bad things (kill etc) in THE NAME OF ALLAH (God etc) and possibly/probably not actually acting according to the true will/desires of said God(s)

IE a bit like me running off - shooting a load of french people and saying 'in the name of Her Majesty the Queen of England'

when in reality - she'd have or want nothing to do with such acts.

Re:Jediism and the Islamic Faith 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I want to confirm my picture of your point of view-

If I went out and killed a man (without my using the name of Her Majesty, I simply did so out of spite), I would still be using the power of her majesty.

^ Am I correct? As this was the question I was getting at.

(also, no, I am not related to the Oxfords of Chicago)
