There is a lot of hate in this world, and a lot of people
use God and Religion as a means to hate and feel
justified in doing so.

Answer 2

Nope !!!

Jihad is The word Jihad stems from the Arabic root word J-H-D, which means "strive." Other words derived from this root include "effort," "labor," and "fatigue." Essentially Jihad is an effort to practice religion. The effort may come in fighting the evil in your own heart, or in standing up to a dictator. Military effort is included as an option, but as a last resort and not "to spread Islam by the sword" as the stereotype would have one believe

Terrorism is totally opposite to it,
Noble Verse 5:32 "...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..."
So according to these calculations whoever kills a person for nothing is killing the whole humanity.......so the it is the worse sin.

Read the muslims answers in follwing link( not the question) you would get better idea of holy war ! I believe that ignorance from the religion is actual cause of terrorism !

Peace !

Answer 3

I don't agree with that statement. There are "holy wars" being fought in the name of every religion and cult you can think of: I think it's narrow minded to single out just one. The problem with religion is that some people don't know where to draw the line: religion is a good thing until you start using it to justify your own motives.

Answer 4

genuine and fake in a fashion. faith unquestionably performs a key function interior the recruiting of many terrorists. faith is previous good judgment. it is approximately what you have self assurance in, and by this way, human beings are somewhat swayed. the comparable way it works for political terrorism. It does not choose tob be led to by faith. it is led to by a solid concept of what you think of is powerful, and all others are incorrect. Examples for the political version are Northern eire (additionally non secular in a fashion, yet extra political motives) or the Cuban and the Nicaraguan Revolution. the easy distinction between terrorists and revolutionaries/liberators/... is a skinny line of definition, by whoever has the potential to define. If he sees you scuffling with against himself, you're a terrorist, once you're scuffling with for the comparable reason, you're a freedom fighter, even nevertheless your ability might desire to be the comparable. What you are able to say is that terrorism is led to by an intensive-minded and one-sided view of the worldwide. Which somewhat could be injected into you by the two political or non secular doctrine. The reasons of terrorism are many times someplace else. Be it geopolitical hobbies, ressource conflict or a reaction to violence.

Answer 9

Islamic terrorism is based upon Islam as those who take part believe that they are doing Allahs work by killing the infidels and that when they die they will be guaranteed a place in heaven.also if they do a suicide bombing this will be seen as dying for their cause and will get the greatest rewards in heaven.another way that Islam influences terrorism is that young unemployed Muslims men are attracted to is simple message of eternal paradise in return for protecting their religion and nations .as well as that all Muslim men are required by the Koran to undertake jihad(holy war).

Answer 10

I am tired of defending the Muslims.

Now defend your religion.

CHRISTIANS;

"We have never heard about any attempt to compel Non-Muslim
parties to adopt Islam or about any organized persecution aiming
at exterminating Christianity. If the Caliphs had chosen one of these plans, they would have wiped out Christianity as easily as what happened to Islam during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain; by the same method which Louis XIV followed to make Protestantism a creed whose followers were to be SENTENCED TO DEATH; or with the same ease of keeping the Jews away from Britain for a period of three hundred fifty years."
(Thomas Arnold in 'The Call to Islam.')

"....A bloody sacrifies was offered by mistaken votaries to the God
of the Christian resistance might provoke, but neither sage nor sex could mollify, thier implacable rage, they indulged themselves 3 days in a promisenous MASSACRE. After 70,000 MUSLIMS HAD BEEN PUT TO THE SWORD and the HARMLESS JEWS HAD BEEN BURNEDin thier Synogogue, they could still reserve a multitude of captives whom interest or lassitude persauded them to spare."--[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON]

" Charles only spared the lives of those Saracens[Muslims] who consented to be baptised, the REST HE PUT TO THE SWORD."--[History of Charles the Great and Orlando, by Turpin, Vol-I, ch-ii, pg-5]

"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and SLAY THEM BEFORE ME." Luke 19:27
