Not by love alone Humanity survives.

As utopian and romantic as it sounds, Christianity that claims that it preaches โ€œlove your enemies and pray for those who persecute youโ€ Matthews 5:44 and Christians claim to follow those teachings.

However, we have never heard that any army in the world has a lovers training center or they train their soldiers to throw their enemies with flowers and perfume bottles.

Both history and reality has proven time after time that almost every single in the world not only has armed forces and armed Police force, but also, they dedicate enormous budgets and huge resources to those forces.

Countries with Judeo Christian heritage are no exception, in fact, Countries with Judeo Christian heritage are the world leading countries in having biggest and most advanced armed forces and armed police forces, not just by relying on importing weapons but also, on being the major manufacturers and exporters of different types of weapons to the rest of the world.

History and reality prove that Countries with Judeo Christian heritage have run multiple crusade campaigns against many Muslim countries over past centuries till today, former US president George Bush declared it load and clear when intended to invade Iraq and Afghanistan.

All the above, proves beyond reasonable doubts the impracticality, unrealistic and fantasy of โ€œlove your enemies and pray for those who persecute youโ€ Matthews 5:44

Humanity can not survive with love alone; Justice is a critical requirement for the survival of humanity and that is what Islam teaches. Not by love alone Humanity survives.

The reward of an evil deed is its equivalent (Justice requirement)

Allah He states in the Glorious Quran:

โ€œThe reward of an evil deed is its equivalent. But whoever pardons and seeks reconciliation, then their reward is with Allah. He certainly does not like the wrongdoers.โ€ Quran (42:40)

Also, Allah in the Glorious Quran tells us the Prophet Noah mocked in return those who rejected the message of Allah and mock him:

โ€œSo, he โ€˜Noahโ€™ began to build the Ark, and whenever some of the chiefs of his people passed by, they mocked him. He said, โ€œIf you laugh at us, we will หนsoonหบ laugh at you similarly.  Quran (11:38)

(Matthew 26, 26:52): “Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

OR

Luke 22:36:

โ€œBut now,โ€ Jesus said, โ€œwhoever has a purse or a bag must take it; and whoever does not have a sword must sell his coat and buy oneQuestion: Why would Jesus say sell your coat and buy Sword? To do what? Chop up some Watermelons? If the above is not a contradiction, what is the contradiction then?
