1_Islam and Terrorism

Islam is a religion of mercy. It does NOT permit terrorism. The messenger of God has listed murder as the second of the major sins and warned that: "On the day of Judgment the first cases to be adjudicated between people will be those of bloodshed.

Jihad means to strive or struggle against the weaknesses in oneself, to be virtuous and moral, and make serious efforts to do good deeds and help to reform the society. Depending upon the  circumstances in which one lives, it can also mean fighting injustice and oppression, defending Islam and creating a just society through preaching, teaching, and, if necessary, armed struggle.

In Islam, committing suicide and killing innocent people is NOT jihad. In fact, it is a grave sin.

From the earliest times, it was forbidden in Islam to kill noncombatants as well as women and children and monks and rabbis, clearly, all of them were given the promise of immunity. Islamic law sets clear guidelines for the conduct of war and rejects the acts of terrorism, The Quran provides detailed guidelines and regulations regarding war: who should fight (48:17, 9:91), when fighting should end (2:192), how to treat prisoners (47:4). It also emphasises proportionality in warfare: “whoever transgresses against you, respond in kind” (2:194).

Other verses provide a strong mandate for making peace:

“If your enemy inclines toward peace, then you too should seek peace and put your trust in God” (8:61) and “Had God wished, He would have made them dominate you, and so if they leave you alone and do not fight you and offer you peace, then God allows you no way against them” (4:90).

2_ Terrorism, unjustified violence and the killing of innocent people are absolutely forbidden in Islam.

Islam is a way of life that is meant to bring peace to a society, whether its people are Muslims or not.The extreme actions of those who claim to be Muslimsmaybe, among other things, a result of their ignorance or uncontrolled anger.

Tyrant rulers and those who commit acts of terrorism in the name of Islam are simply not following Islam.

These people are individuals with their own views and political agendas.

It is one function of Islamic law to protect the privileged status of minorities, and this is why non-Muslim places of worship have flourished all over the Islamic world. History provides many examples of Muslim tolerance towards other faiths: when the caliph Omar entered Jerusalem In the year 634, Islam granted freedom of worship to all religious communities in the city. Islamic law also permits non-Muslim minorities to set up their own courts, which implement family laws drawn up by the minorities themselves.

many of them continue to commit excesses in the land.

Prophet Muhammad , peace and blessings be upon him said something amazing which i'd like all non muslims to know: "Whoever killed a person having a treaty of protection with the Muslims, and who enjoys the guarantee of Allah and His Messenger, he will have spoiled the guarantee of Allah [for him]. He shall not smell the scent of Paradise though its smell is perceived from a distance of seventy years."

3_Islam and the reality of terrorism

`In the HISTORY of the world, who has KILLED maximum INNOCENT human beings?

"Joseph Stalin is called Uncle Joe".

He has killed 20 million human beings including 14.5 million who starved to death.

Was he a Muslim?

"Mao Tse Tsung (China)"

He has killed 14 to 20 million human beings.

Was he a Muslim?

"Benito Mussolini (Italy)"

He has killed 400 thousand human beings.

Was he a Muslim?

"Ashoka" In Kalinga Battle

He has killed 100 thousand human beings.

Was he a Muslim?

Embargo put by George Bush in Iraq,

1/2 million children has been killed in Iraq alone!!!Imagine these people are never called terrorists by the media.

Was he a Muslim?

Today the majority of the non-muslims are afraid of hearing the words "JIHAD".

Jihad is an Arabic word which comes from root Arabic word "JAHADA" which means "TO STRIVE" or "TO STRUGGLE" against evil and for justice.It does not mean killing innocents.

The difference is we stand against evil, not with evil".

Is ISLAM really the problem?

The First World War, 17 million dead (caused by non-Muslim).

The Second World War, 50-55 million dead (caused by non-Muslim).

Nagasaki atomic bombs 200000 dead (caused by non-Muslim).

The War in Vietnam, over 5 million dead (caused by non-Muslim).

The War in Bosnia/Kosovo, over 5,00,000 dead (caused by non-Muslim).

The War in Iraq (so far) 12,000,000 deaths (caused by non-Muslim).

Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Burma (monks!) etc ongoing..(caused by non-Muslim).

In Cambodia 1975-1979, almost 3 million deaths (caused by non-Muslim).

"MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS AND TERRORISTS ARE NOT MUSLIMS."

AND ABOVE ALL NEITHER OF THE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AS WELL AS ANY ASSAULT WEAPONS ARE INVENTED BY MUSLIMS. AND ABOVE ALL EVEN THE ARMS GIVEN AND SUPPLIED TO THE  SO CALLED MUSLIM TERRORIST ARE NOT BY ANY ISLAMIC INSTITUTE. These double standards must be broadcast.

4_Boko Haram doesn’t represent Islam at all

BOKO HARAM VS RELIGION OF ISLAM

Boko Haram kidnapped girls and forced them to change their religion. While Islam says:

 The Boko Haram have forcefully married off girls. While Islam says:

 Boko Haram are aggressive towards those who do not follow their beliefs. While Islam says:

Boko Haram have murdered thousands of Muslims and Christians alike in cold blood. While Islam says:

“….if anyone slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people...”

(Quran 5:32)

The Boko Haram use the cover of Islam to commit their mayhem and claim they are doing ALLAH'S work or JIHAD. While Islam says:

The Boko Haram believed once you are not with them you are an enemy to them. While Islam says:

The Boko Haram have unleashed tyranny and indecency in the land. While Islam says:

Finally, upon all their false claims it's clear to believe that Boko Haram do not represent Islam in any way because they are acting against it!

5_Are ISIS followers of the Bible or the Quran?

(May Allah destroy ISIS Amin )

Low of war in Islam 

“Slay them wherever you find them,” 2:191 Christians see only  " slay " but never ask ; to whom refers "them " So to know to whom refers "them " we have to read the context , the preceding verse is

2:190 Fight in the way of God those who fight against you, but do not transgress. God does not love the transgressor.

So " them" refers to those who fight muslims means fighters ,so civilians are protected " but do not transgress" this is explained in this Hadith

the Prophet Muhammad instructed his soldiers:

“Do not kill any child, any woman, or any elder or sick person.”

(Sunan Abu Dawud)

Low of war in Christianity

“Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, “Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked.  Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark.  Begin your task right here at the Temple.” So they began by killing the seventy leaders. “Defile the Temple!” the LORD commanded. “Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill!  Go!” So they went throughout the city and did as they were told.” (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT

6_Do you accept our saying that Christianity is the religion of terrorism now?

Smart people and truth seekers won't judge any religion based on people but rather judge based on teachings, because each nation has good people and evil - so don't judge a car by looking at some passengers in it but rather check the engine, the body, the wheels etc.

But even to those who insist on judging a faith by people not actions and insist on generalising. if we really did the same and measured terrorism by those who killed more innocent people then Christians will have the most terrorists

Maybe you were not exposed to but to your own media which is focusing only on negative examples of Muslims, this is why you think that Militants and terrorists are only from the Muslim nation!

-Who made the Crusader wars which killed Hundreds of thousands of innocent people under the name of the Catholic church?

- The KKK Christian organisation and their terrorist actions? -the Christian any Balaca in central Africa which killed 10s of the thousands?

- Who killed millions of the original inhabitants of north and south America and called them savage and wild?

who confiscated African lands and colonised many parts of it and took Africans as slaves to serve in the new world and killed hundreds of thousands in Africa and out of Africa? it was the flags carrying the cross!

- they did not need to do suicide bombs because by one nuclear bomb Christian nation killed Millions in Japan. the same happened in Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan - cities upon cities were destroyed then you ask about who created terrorism and killed more?

-Even Suicide is recorded historically for those who claimed that the innocent Jesus came to be killed for sins which he did not do !

History of suicide in Christianity goes back in the time of Samson - do you know him?  the bible can remind you , " Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed much more when he died than while he lived.  (From the NIV Bible, Judges 16:26-30)"

Suicide attack on IRS building in Austin, Texas, Feb. 18, 2010. When Joseph Stack flew a plane into the Echelon office

During the World War II, Christian German pilots of Luftwaffe flew "Self-sacrifice missions", in other words, suicide missions against Soviet held bridges. not to mention that the second world war which occurred between Christian nations, killed 60 Million people !! mostly innocent!

if there is no such thing as Christian terrorism. Tell that to the victims of the Army of God, a loose network of radical Christianists with a long history of terrorist attacks on abortion providers. One Christian Right terrorist with ties to the Army of God was Paul Jennings Hill, who was executed by lethal injection on Sept. 3, 2003, for the murders of abortion doctor John Britton and his bodyguard James Barrett. Hill shot both of them in cold blood and expressed no remorse whatsoever; he insisted he was doing God’s work and has been exalted as a martyr by the Army of God.

So you see, it's better to be objective and open minded, judge religion based on its teachings not based on people and see all sides of the story and more over , condemn terrorism wherever it's done by any one Muslim or Christian !

7_Verses about terrorism in the Bible:

-Numbers 31:17-18 17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

-Jeremiah 48:10 10 “A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work! A curse on anyone who keeps their sword from bloodshed!

-Joshua 7-12 7 So Joshua and his whole army came against them suddenly at the Waters of Merom and attacked them, 8 and the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel. They defeated them and pursued them all the way to Greater Sidon,to Misrephoth Maim,and to the Valley of Mizpah on the east, until no survivors were left. 9 Joshua did to them as the Lord had directed: He hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.

10 At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword.(Hazor had been the head of all these kingdoms.) 11 Everyone in it they put to the sword. They totally destroyed[a] them, not sparing anyone that breathed,and he burned Hazor itself.

12 Joshua took all these royal cities and their kings and put them to the sword. He totally destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.

Tolerance and Mercy in the Bible 

Joshua 6:21 they turned over everyone in the city for destruction and executed them including both men and women  young and old and oxen sheep and donkeys

Psa 137:8 Daughter of babylon! You devastator ! How blessed will be the one who pays you back for what you have done to us.

Psa 137:9 How blessed will be the one who seizes your young children and pulverises them against the cliff!

-Matthew 10:34 Parallel Verses.... New International Version "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

-Jesus ordered his disciples to sell their garments and buy SWORDS  below   Luke 22:36 New International Version He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."

What do people use SWORDS  for at the time of Jesus and why did he order them to sell their garments and buy SWORDS ?

Deuteronomy Chapter 2:32-37

Deuteronomy Chapter 3:1-7

Deuteronomy Chapter 13:6-18

Deuteronomy Chapter 21:18-22

Deuteronomy Chapter 28:15-68

Numbers Chapter 31:7-12 and 17-18

I wonder what Christians have to say about this?!!!

The only religious book on the face of the earth which has given permission to kill innocents including women and children is your bible.

Why all these anti-islam campaigns on media?

The rate at which ISLAM is spreading around the globe is a thing of concern to the West. Islam is their only obstacle yet, the fastest growing in the UK, USA, Canada and the rest of Europe. The story is the same  in Africa. Now, how would the West handle this if not by painting Islam as a religion of terrorism? Would a Christian ever wish to embrace Islam after all these media wars on Muslims? The West needs to stem the tide of this "fastest growing religion in the world" and calling Muslims terrorists is their trump up card…
