"For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than man slaughter or corruption in the earth , it shall be as if be had killed all mankind , and whoso saveth the life of one , it shall be as if he had : saved the life of all mankind . Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs ( of Allah ' s sovereignty ) , but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth ."
[Qur'an 5.32]

Your question is a very good one. Non-Muslims can't figure out why Muslims could kill others, do suicide bombings in the name of Islam, which is exactly what many do--al-Quaeda actually says they do it in the name of Islam. The bigger mystery is why moderate Muslims let the radicals get away with killing in the name of Islam, which means peace. Rarely does a Muslim government condemn the actions of the killing Muslims. How ironic that the United States military is in Iraq trying to keep Shia and Sunni Muslims from killing each other! Couldn't Saudi Arabia or Syria do a better job of that? They know the language and the religion. President Bush ought to say: "We thought going into Iraq was a good idea, but it has turned out poorly for everyone. I now call on the Muslim & Arab countries to take over and solve this problem." Then you would hear a very, very big silence.

This a good quotation from the Qur'an (5:32) and a good question too. Did you know that the Qur'an has many contradictions in relations to what you have mentioned? Did you know that Muhammad contradicts his own words to satisfy his own desires? A bigger question isn't it? Muhammad has a split personality.
Take this for an example. (Qur'an teaching)
"Fight and slay the pagans [Christians] wherever ye find them and seize them, confine them, and lie in wait for them in every place of ambush" (Surah 9:5)
"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the last day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his apostle nor acknowledge the religion of truth of the people of the Book (the Jews and the Christians) until they pay the Jizya [tax on non-Muslims] with willing submission and feel themselves subdued." (Surah 9:29)
"Those who follow Muhammad are merciless for the unbelievers but kind to each other." (Qur'an 48:29)
"Enmity and hatred will reign between us until ye believe in Allah alone." (Qur'an 60:4)
Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from Unbelief), their past would be forgiven them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning for them). And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily God doth see all that they do. (Qur'an 8:37-39)
And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. (Qur'an 2:193)
"Fight the unbelievers in your surroundings, and let them find harshness in you." (Qur'an 9:123)
"For he who believes in the Trinity, "the Fire will be his abode … a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemer." Qur'an (5:72-73)
Take this for an example. (Hadith teaching)
"You (the Jews) should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle and I wish to expel you from this land (Arabia) (Hadith, 4363)
"I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslims." (Hadith Sahih 4366)
Some said by this teaching, every muslim is a possible terrorist, do you believed this statement of some?
God has given us knowledge and understanding as well as wisdom to comprehend what good and evil in the sight of God. The scriptures say "He who lacks wisdom, let him freely ask"
By the way:
ISLAM means total surrender to God
SALAM means peace

Because the West is corrupted by media and doesnt know so many truths that are happening in the world, and the opression that continues to happen in many Muslim countries. Especially Palestine. You can say all you want to if you are pro Zion, but it is wrong to massacre the Arab people and to push them out of their own home.
Opression is what is making people blow things up. Not Islam.

Quran also says Kill the infidels, so the terrorists are also following Islam

It's a corruption of Islam that promotes violence. Ultimately terrorism is caused by greed and power, but you don't get money or power by blowing yourself up. You do it by convincing other people to blow themselves up. Religion is a very good tool for this.

a very great speaker (yusuf estes) once said, "Islam is a verb. it means submission. either you submit to God's will and you are a Muslim or you don't and you're not."
Therefore men who do not submit to God's will and commit acts of terror, are not Muslims

Because they believe that man's nature is good and not fallen. Therefore there is no sin and no need for forgiveness. In other words, everything goes.

Whether they are true Muslims or not does not matter. They kill in the name of Islam and the larger majority of Muslims do not try to stop them or even to stand up to say how wrong it is.
Whats in their book is their problem. Its their terrorism and their inability to condemm it that is the heart of the problem

It doesn't matter they kill in the name of Allah and that's all that matters. Very bad religion!
