If the muslim faith is peaceful,then how can terrorist call themselves?

Question

men of God or muslim?For God is love,not violence of any kind.Human life is sacred and should not be taken,especially the innocent

Answer 1

Yeah exactly but Christians have killed for the faith too - as in The Catholic Inquisition. That was terrorism against nothing but the innocent.

Answer 2

Good Question, If you study the Koran you will find that its one of the most violent faiths on the planet. The Koran teaches violence not peace no matter what anyone says. Most muslims dont even know about their prophet, they dont know he murdered or had murdered alot of people who got in his way, its in the koran he also married a child at 6 and consumated which means (had sex with her at age 9 he would have been 52 this is all in the koran! He also had married his adopted sons wife after he made his son divorce her for what was called the "prophets pleasure" These are things I have read at the following site http://answering-islam.org/Testimonies/mohammed.html if anyone has taken offense to this I apologize but this is what I have read here.

Answer 3

Islaam is a religion of peace and submission and stresses the sanctity of human life. A verse in the Quran says (Chapter 5, verse 32), that anyone who saves one life, it is as if he has saved the whole of mankind and anyone who has killed another person except (in lieu of murder or mischief on earth), it is as if he has killed the whole mankind." Islaam condemns all violence which happened in the Crusades, in Spain, in the 2nd world war, or by acts of people like the Rev. Jim Jones, David Koresh, Dr. Baruch Goldstein, or the atrocities committed in Bosnia by the Christian Serbs. Anyone who resorts to violence is not practicing his religion at that time. However, sometimes violence is a human response of oppressed people as in Palestine. There is a lot of terrorism and violence in areas where there is no Muslim presence. For example, in Ireland, South Africa, Latin America, and Sri Lanka. Sometimes violence is due to a struggle between those who have and those who do not have, or between those who are oppressed with those who are oppressors. Unfortunately, the Palestinians who are struggling against oppression are called terrorists but not the armed Israeli settlers when they do the same. As it turned out in the Oklahoma City bombing, sometime Muslims are prematurely blamed even if the terrorism is committed by non-Muslims. God does permit defensive wars against organized oppression. Sometimes some misguided Muslims turn to violence as happens with all religions and countries of the world. To call all Muslims terrorists is completely false. Islaam is a religion of peace, harmony and submission to the laws of God Almighty.

Answer 4

u r truly right when u say that human life is sacred and u know what?
that is what we are as muslims believe in the sanctity of the life regardless of the faith of this life and that is what our holy book is tellin us:
Quran says in Chapter 5 , verse 32 :
On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one 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. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

so, this is only one verse of many other verses in our book that are talking about the human life and lemt me tell u not every muslim is applying islam 100% the same way that not every christian is applying the perfect christianity which is telling him not to drink or to have an illega sexual relation.
and in islam at the time of our prophet muhammad - peace be upon him - when the muslim had a war with any other tribe , the prophet as the leader of the muslim nation was preaching them before they go fight tellin them the following,
Go on by the name of ur God, following the tradition of ur prophet and remember not to kill any old woman, old man, sicks, pastore in church or rappie in synagogue, animal, infant or suckling
now let me put u some verses from the old testment
Yashu book
10 : 37, beat her and took the sword with the King and all the cities and all the same it has been left by absent-minded everything done Baglon Vaharmaha and all the same
would that give me the right to say that all those who believe in the holy bible to be terrorists

anyway, i wish u will contact me to my email and we can talk about that more
[e-mail]
plz keep in contact
have a good time

Answer 5

The only reason moderate muslims are peaceful is because they dont know anything about their own religion. Most of them have only seen a Quran in arabic and a lot dont even pray 5 times a day-these people cant be called muslims. The terrorist are doing exactly what islam tells them too:

Kill Disbelievers in a cruel fashion:
Sura 5:33: "Those who make war with Allah and his messenger will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. That is how they will be treated in this world, and in the next they will have an awful doom."

Slit throats of unbelievers:
Quran Sura 47:4: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.

Amputation for petty theft:
Quran Sura 5:38: Cut off the hands of thieves, whether they are male or female, as punishment for what they have done—a deterrent from God: God is almighty and wise.

Killing unbelievers:
9:123. O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.

Dont be friends with Jews or Christians:
Sura 5:51: O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your allies and protectors: They are but allies and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

Sex slaves are permitted:
4:24 Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess.

Death for apostasy:
Sura 4:89 They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,”

Kill disbelievers:
2:191. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

Permission for a muslim man to beat his wife if she doesnt obey him:
Sura 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and **beat them**; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

Fight disbelievers:
Sura 9:29: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Answer 6

The problem is that many terrorists justify their barbaric acts under the name of Islam....However, Islam is a very nice and peaceful religion if you really get to understand it....

Answer 7

Every religion has it's fanatics. I am sure the nut who killed the doctor at the abortion clinic thought he was being a very good Christian.
