Answer 1

i have no idea what islam says but one things for sure; moslems have learnt the 'kill them all' principle by heart.

Answer 2

Firstly, quoting anything from a politician is not accurate. We all know that they will not say anything unless they have a benefit from it. Secondly, Yes many muslim countries have severe laws, which can end up people getting killed. But they are run my dictatorship governments!!! What do you expect? All dictatorship governments, be it Jewish, Christian or Islamic, have messed up laws. It has nothing to do with the religion itself. It is an abuse of the religion. Islam was intended to be a religion of a person, not a country, so president of Iran saying we should attack, does not mean that is what Islam is about, infact it is stupid to say that. There is no religion that teaches war. Islam is the only religion which has rules relating to war. War is only done as a last resort, when there is no other means of defending yourself. Because, quoting the Quran, it says, "Killing one human life, is as if you killed all of humanity". Means HUMAN LIFE, does not say muslim life, or christian life, says ALL LIFE. Also, incase you do have to go to war when all other means have been tried, then you can only fight men. Not women, or children or elders or disabled! I dont think any religion on the planet has this rule. At all times this rule applies in Islam. So saying its a religion of war is very inaccurate. I am a muslim myself, And i denounce all terrorist actions done against the west. I absulotly hate those people who ldo this, and those people who think i am just like "them" (a terrorist). Another point id like to make is, the muslims that usually are extreamists, if asked about the basics of Islam, they would not even know it. They would not have even read the Quran let alone anything else. They are just idiots with nothing else to do in life then focus hate on innocent people.

Answer 3

If someone fights you with the means to kill you: then we kill them. If they beg forgiveness and plea for peace- we give them peace.

Here is what is prescribed for fighting from The Quran Sura 2
2:190-193

And fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you.
But do not transgress limits. For Allah does not love those who exceed their rightful limits.

And slay them (those who fight you) wherever you catch them, and turn them out from wherever they have turned you out.
For persecution and Injustice are worse than killing.
But do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque,
Unless they first fight you there.
But If they fight you slay them.
That is the reward for those who block faith.

But if they cease-- Allah is most forgiving on them, Most merciful.

And keep fighting them until there is no more persecution and injustice, And justice and Faith in Allah continues,.

BUT IF THEY CEASE LET THERE BE NO HOSTILE ACTS

hope that answers your question. Look it up if you doubt it's contents.

Answer 4

"And make not Allah's (name) an excuse in your oaths against doing good, or acting rightly, or making peace between persons; for Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth all things." Qur'an 2:182

"And if two parties of the believers quarrel, make peace between them; but if one of them acts wrongfully towards the other, fight that which acts wrongfully until it returns to Allah's command; then if it returns, make peace between them with justice and act equitably; surely Allah loves those who act equitably." Qur'an 49:9

Answer 5

Islam teaches us that we should sign agreements or treaties with whoever the enemy is so that there can be peace in the land.
