I've heard alot about quran telling muslims to commit mass killings including suicide bombing. Did the "real" quran stated this ? Or just an excuse used by al qaeda?

No terrorist do the same thing Christain Missionaries do, that is take verses out of context to prove their point.

I do not believe that the Quran is responsible for all the terrorist acts. It has been interpreted such as many other religious books and beliefs in a manner to suit, give an excuse, to provide a basis for a fanatical cause.

Quoting Wikipedia:
"When adherents to a religion get involved in a pattern of violently and potentially deadly opposition to anyone they do not agree with, they are sometimes branded as Religious fanatics by their detractors, although they may object that their actions are completely sound. All religions may include fanatic fringes."

Other groups/individual people have used the religion excuse to support fanatical causes. Two examples are:
The Christians with the Salem Witch trials, and White Supremacy. Then there was Baruch Goldstein, who was Jewish, he killed many Muslim worshipers while they were praying in a mosque.

It's a shame that people with extreme ways of thinking try to give their cause a religious undertone. I do not believe religion incites such outrageous and extreme behavior. I think the people are looking for an excuse to act out on their thoughts. Unfortunately, interpretation of religion is a convenient way of doing so.

The Koran doesn't say that at all, on the contrary it frowns upon violence. It's just the few fanatics that like Al Qaeda to change things around for their cause. Like reading between the lines and coming up with some crap that isn't there in the first place. Why don't you get a copy because I've already read it certainly doesn't say anything about mass killings and suicide bombersor terrorsism.

YES .

if your god told you it's OK to kill other human beings - for any reason - it is from evil source and not from god .
terrorism is just what Muslims can do today to Oby the commands of Allah .

if Islam is a kingdom today as it was in the life of Muhammad , the ONLY way for that kingdom to survive is by WAR .

Al qaeda is closer to real commands of Allah in the quran than any other Muslim country or sect .

but please , take some time to read the quran if you want to really know the truth.

Not really . Not mass killings and suicide bombings as such.
But the quraan does prescribe war on those who oppress.
To the Al Qaeda / other terrorist orgs , they view the Mid East crisis as oppression & there arises the legitimacy of the issue.

The Qu'ran didn't specify the means in which to kill whom they consider "infidels", but rather it tells them to kill BECAUSE they are "infidels". This includes Jews, Christians, and ALL non-Muslims.

The suicide bomber originated in Iran. An Iranian soldier strapped an explosive device onto himself and blew himself up near an Iraqi tank during the Iran-Iraq war. He is now considered a martyr and they celebrate his death annually.

The Arab terrorists along the Gaza Strip and West Bank near Israel decided to adopt the "suicide bomb" as their weapon of choice against civilian targets in Israel. Since Arab armies have performed dismally against the Israeli military, the Arabs decided to wage war on Israeli civilians. Thus the "suicide bomber" was born. Their targets included restaurants, public transportation, Jewish weddings, and military checkpoints, just to name a few. Thousands have died or been maimed for life.

Hope this helps you.

No, nowhere in the Quraan does it state that innocent people should be killed, it admonishes it, Suicide Bombing is not Islamic.

no this is not true.
quran says "[8] Allâh does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allâh loves those who deal with equity"
"[7] Perhaps Allâh will make friendship between you and those whom you hold as enemies. And Allâh has power (over all things), and Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Sure.

A real follower of Muhammed must do and act like Muhammed.

Muhammed made so many jihads. He had holy war every day and killed so many non believers refused to accept Islam.

This is total rubbish. The Quran does not tell people to kill.
