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.
