Islam no more condones or permits the murder of innocents than Christianity and Judaism does. Muslims aren't terrorists. Christians aren't terrorists. Jews aren't terrorists. Terrorists are terrorists and belong to no religion. And instead of seeing the truth of this, the people that are the actual problem just say 'ya, all Muslims are the problem.' Might as well just go hang out at a bar and talk amongst yourselves. Why you're on a computer with the whole planet's knowledge available to consult is mind-boggling.
"1. Terrorism is above all murder. Murder is strictly forbidden in the Qur’an. Qur’an 6:151 says, “and do not kill a soul that God has made sacrosanct, save lawfully.” (i.e. murder is forbidden but the death penalty imposed by the state for a crime is permitted). 5:53 says, “… whoso kills a soul, unless it be for murder or for wreaking corruption in the land, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and he who saves a life, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind.”
2. If the motive for terrorism is religious, it is impermissible in Islamic law. It is forbidden to attempt to impose Islam on other people. The Qur’an says, “There is no compulsion in religion. The right way has become distinct from error.” (-The Cow, 2:256). Note that this verse was revealed in Medina in 622 AD or after and was never abrogated by any other verse of the Quran. Islam’s holy book forbids coercing people into adopting any religion. They have to willingly choose it.
3. Islamic law forbids aggressive warfare. The Quran says, “But if the enemies incline towards peace, do you also incline towards peace. And trust in God! For He is the one who hears and knows all things.” (8:61) The Quran chapter “The Cow,” 2:190, says, “Fight in the way of God against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! God loveth not aggressors.”"
Top Ten Ways Islamic Law forbids Terrorism
The pictures of Muslims cutting off the heads of Christians and yelling Allah Akbar while shooting unarmed civilians convinced me that you are making excuses for them.
Terrorists using a religion as cover did those things. Be like saying an abortion clinic bomber saying he did it for Jesus means we should crack down on the whole of Christianity. Had nothing to do with Christianity. Nor this with Islam. If we let it become about Islam we lose. An insignificant number of violent crazy people we could handle is now a big chunk of over 1.6 billion. You can't fight a whole religion. And where Muslims who just practice their faith in peace woulda helped us before, now that we're openly assaulting their faith, they wont be the best intelligence assets going.
I have no argument with Muslims as long as they are not engaged in radicalizing other Muslims to commit jihad in the name of Allah.
