Chapter 4: War and Peace in The Middle East (16)
102 The war in
Afghanistan: Bitter enemies in the same boat (2/5)
It was the "Mujahidin" that battled in the center stage of civil war against central government. Mujahidin means jihad (holy war) warrior of Islam in local language. Mujahidin of Islam jihad regarded the communism that advocated atheism as the incarnation of evil. They could not accept communism much more than Christianity or Judaism.
Islam is one of the three
major monotheism. Muslims believe that God of Christianity and Yahweh of
Judaism are the same supreme existence with Allah of Islam. Allah, God and Yahweh
are the different name of the supreme existence who is the only one Creator.
Muslims believe that
prophets written in the Old Testament was the first batch of the prophets. Jesus
Christ was a prophet of the second from the last prophet. And Muhammad was the
last prophet. Although the Christian believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God, Muslims understand that God had no child. They believe that Jesus Christ
was one of the prophets. Monotheists like Muslim do not admit polytheism which
believes plural supreme. Therefore, they consider the polytheism of ancient
Greek is a wrong religion. They might also think that Japanese traditional
faith that there are eight million deities in natural world is a religion of
barbarian. But monotheists can accept polytheists because polytheists
themselves believe the supreme existence. They cannot accept atheism of
communist society at all.
