In the Quran, it is said clearly that all Muslims are brothers. But, how will you go to heaven when you are killing fellow Muslims?

PUTRAJAYA: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today one factor that drives more Muslims into becoming jihadists is the inability of Islamic countries to defend the Ummah.
He said this alleged failure of the Islamic countries frustrated Muslims, and ordinary people who had no power and think that the only way they could contribute was by going to fight as a jihadist.
“In order to persuade people to join them, they will say it is for jihad (holy war) and fighting for Islam, but it is not going to produce the desired results,” he said during a question-and-answer session at the International Islamic Forum here today.
Dr Mahathir, who is also the president of the Perdana Leadership Foundation, said they also promoted the idea of going to heaven by dying in a fight as qualifying to become a ‘syahid’ (martyr).
“In the Quran, it is said clearly that all Muslims are brothers. But, how will you go to heaven when you are killing fellow Muslims?” he asked.
“We must go back to the Quran and understand that there is a limit that we can go to and we should not let others hijack the understanding of Islam,” he said.
