Islam adheres peace, strict prayer, fasting etc. Then how the terrorism, militancy is appeared in islam?

Question

All the muslim world including terrorists, militants are also follows strict religious rituals like 5 times praying, ramdan fasting 1 month. And there is no room for so called jihad, militancy, terrors which is against the peace. Also compared to the other religion muslims looks god feared. Inspite of all these things militancy, terrorism is increasing day by day.

Answer 1

Not all Muslims are bad, its a shame that they are all tared with the same brush now, this is unfortunate and due to the ones who take it on to terrorize the Innocent, and kill the Innocent, including Women and Children, I cant understand why these morons do all this, its just pay back for them, and as time has gone on more and more have decided to join in. What we have to remember, is that many Afghanistan's etc.. have also lost their women and children, we are all suffering at the hands of these Terrorists.


This will never end.

Answer 2

Yes good followers of Islam adheres to peace,strict prsayer,fas-
ting,pay zakt,pay haj pilgrimage etc.But terrorism and militancy will appear in Islam and other religion because it is ignited by the root cause of other group such as other religion followers,the government,political party etc such as in the form of suppression,
invasion,domination,unfairness,humiliation/insultation,cruelty and unegality treatment etc.
The terrorist is in a wrong implementation of a religion teaching especially in islamic teaching if its victims were the ignorant civilian .Jihad is an effort of maintaining Islam as a religion from Allah.We should reattack if muslims and its religion teaching are attacked and humiliated by others.But we should reattack directly dito the attackers not others...Defending directly to the attackers is in line with enforcing peaceful condition and do not against with islamic teaching as long as it is done in line with its religion
A retaliation should be made after a peaceful solution can not be met.

Answer 3

Well thats the problem of Muslim ppl but not Islam .

Nowdays not every thing with Islam tells is done by Muslims
It happens in all the religions , sinners can be anywhere

Such ppl are misreading thier religion and going for thier self interest.

dont judge Islam as a basis of acts of those ppls.

As ppl say that why did we reacted on the cartoons
well that insulted us thats why

Dont worri
Muslim nation is gettin eduacted as time passes , actions being taken against the wrong

If God wills , one day a more progressive , dynamic Muslim nation will emerge to settle peace in the world

and by the way

Muslims rnt the only terrorist
america is the king of terrorism . Look at denmark

they created the cartoons to make us angry and then whn we took actions they started calling us terrorists

take care

Answer 4

jihad is always confused with terrorism...9/11 incidence was not a jihad that was terrorism,London bombing was also an act of terrorism, Islam doest allow killing innocent peoples rather it strongly condemn such activities........Jihad is that resistance which u offer when u r attacked by some other group n u are trying to save ur soverieingty....Palestines,Iraqis and Afghanis they r doing jihad.....they are resisting the invaders n trying to save their homeland...whereas killing some innocents, women n kids is terrorism n whoever is doing that is not even a human...they r not following islam, true Islam is that muslims r not allowed to destroy even the vegetation in enemy area...they r asked to fight only the army who is at fight with them.....not the innocents. so please dont mix jihad with terrorism. btw no one here talk abt the terrorism which USA is doing in Iraq and Afghanistan without any reason.is that allowed by christainity??n should i call christains as millitants and terrorist for these acts?? these soo called superpowers r responcible for this millitancy n terrorism in this world not muslims.....this time the biggest act of terrorism is American Invasion of iraq n Afghanistan. n i stil say that 9/11 was inside job...... many of the muslims were also killed in that incidence. why u people never focus that thing??

Answer 5

They say they adhere to peace but they don't condemn terrorism and militancy, they rather stone and behead innocent people that disagree with them.

The reason there are so many terrorists in Islam is because they beleive that the Quran is the word of God. The Quran contains sections that say kill the infidels and preaches hate to all who do not beleive in Islam. They think it is the word of God so they go around killing people thinking they are doing Gods work.

Answer 6

According to recorded history, Islamic militancy had been used to seek for truth, peace and protect the religion and ITS own follower, although they're allowed to kill, but not the seniors, women, children, livestock, disturb places of worshipping like any masjid or temple of their rival. Terrorism are whom using the name of God (Allah) in doin' menace and destruction for self goodness, certain corrupted minded or extremists who may not seek peace in themselves too.

Islam's indeed a beautiful religion which seeks for truth and personal wellness, it should be understood by everyone in this world for the sake of peace but not sole view reflected from militancy and terrorism that caused.

Answer 7

By defination Terrorism is a term used to describe violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians by groups or persons for political, nationalist, or religious goals. "Terrorist attacks" usually are characterized as "indiscriminate", the "targeting of civilians", or as executed "with disregard for human life".
Now what would you call when Christian Hitler Killed/burned Millions Jews,
Christians (USA) killed, if not millions but thousands Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki civillions. Still Millions suffering dew to Toxic remains in these cities.
Killed and still killing in Afghanistan, Iraq.
If you dont want people to defend them selves OK, now a days, killers are on top. But one day Truth will prevail and todays Labeling will change. Wait for some time and you or your next generation will witness.

Don't be victim of media , use your own brain and analyze.

Answer 8

Jihad becomes compulsory on every Muslim if their Land is under occupation.

fighting the occupier is an obligation.

Terrorism on the other hand is not Jihad. killing innocent civilians of any kind is transgression and cold blooded murder and the transgressors will be punished no matter how many times they pray or fast.

Starfish 5:
What you said is 100% false
Do you interperetate the Qur'an on your way?

For your Q:
Politics is the reason for what you see now. Muslims in the middle east are deprived from their rights and are living in very bad conditions, beside the double standard policies of the US with the Arab Israeli issue..this all evoked what you see today.

If Muslims were living in good conditions you won't see all thw bombings in the news..take a look on Africa, people are suffering and making revolutions, civil wars and thousands get killed. But nobody cares because no westerns got hurt, but what is different here is that America has a major role in what is ahppening in the middle east and that is why it carried some of the burden.

There is a good group which can make you understand Arabs:

There you will undestand more.

Answer 10

If u r Muslim u may know zihad(war) is compulsory in Islam. But most of people don’t know when they do that.

Arms Zihad is compulsory when Muslim have a Islamic state(Khilafah). Without Khilafah or caliph(a only one Muslim leader) Muslims can't do any arms Zihad. Just see Muhammad (saw) life history.

In Mocca he never did any arms war(Zihad). But when He established a state in Modina then he start war for protect this state. This is history for Zihad.

So first we must reestablished Khilafah.
