What Does Islam Say about Terrorism?

Question

http://www.islam-guide.com/ch3-11.htm

God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (Quran, 60:8)

The Prophet Muhammad used to prohibit soldiers from killing women and children,1 and he would advise them: {...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.}2 And he also said: {Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.}3

Also, the Prophet Muhammad has forbidden punishment with fire.4

He once listed murder as the second of the major sins,5 and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, {The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed.6}7

What do you think of it?

Answer 1

This again proves how peaceful our religion is. Yet many people still refuse to believe that most Muslims are peaceful, and they still judge us by what one group of terrorists do.

Answer 2

I think the Islamic believers in the Middle East have misplaced their Quran. Everyday young Moslem men and women sign up for martyrdom. Everyday in Iraq Islamic children are killed by Muslims.

One might could stretch and make a case that what is happening in Lebanon is a just war. That would be a long stretch indeed. Still it is in the realm of possibility. In Iraq it is just terrorism. Muslims killing each other. In both cases the Islamic Theocracy of Iran is backing the strife.

Actions are said to speak louder than words. No matter how sincere you are, you are grossly outnumbered by your brothers in the faith that make it their job to prove you wrong.

Answer 3

That's what happens when Fundamentalists come into the mix. They spread the wrong message. That is why it is best to stay away from organized religion all together.

Answer 4

The Quran does not condone the killing of the innocent. However, when Mohammed's warriors approached a city, they were to give them the opportunity to convert to Islam. If they resisted, then they were fighting Allah, and were fair game for destruction. In other words, the people must accept the conditions imposed upon them.

This is probably the mentality of Terrorists--they can look at the history of Muhammadanism and texts of Allah delivering "resistors" into their hands, and justify killing infidels.

And when Muhammad existed, God allowed him to punish Christian nations that were not living the truth.

Jesus reminds us believers that sin brings on calamity. He pronounced Judgments against the sinning Jews, and told one man who was paralyzed for 38 years to “sin no more unless a worse thing come upon you” (John 5:14).

Initially, when God preserved the first murderer, it led to such violence that He destroyed the antediluvians. Then God appointed mankind to be His executioners of justice (Genesis 9:6). God also used Israel to punish those in the Promised Land because “their iniquity was full” (Ibid. 16:15)

God actually had Elijah anoint the Syrian King Hazael to punish Israel for their sins (1 Kings 19:5). Israel and Jerusalem were then afflicted by Hazael (2 Kings 10:32,33).

He also told his disciples that the Jews would deliver Him to be crucified, and Rome punished Israel for it in AD 70. Jesus gave many signs preceding Jerusalem’s destruction and all Christians left Jerusalem safely yet about one-million unbelieving Jews perished in the siege of Jerusalem.

Under the New Covenant, Christians are NO LONGER EXECUTIONERS; and were NEVER to use strength of arms to make converts. Yet Justinian of the Eastern Church used military campaigns against other Christians and unbelievers to make CATHOLICISM THE NATIONAL RELIGION—the death of these innocents DEMANDED DIVINE JUSTICE, thus Muhammad was used—initially a scourge to North Africa—then around the Mediterranean Sea.

And the Bible predicted that Islam would punish Christians for “murdering” and confiscating land from their victims. Unfortunately, Christians learned no lessons from it: “Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts” (Revelation 9:21).

Early Bible commentators knew that Islam was a scourge to punish sinful Christianity; in fact, one minister predicted from the Bible the exact day the Moslem alliance would meet defeat.

Answer 5

I think you are misguided. You need to read world history on Islam and Muhammed. Islam was started by an act of terrorism on Mecca by Muhammed and a band of assassins. That is what you call the first "Hajj"

Answer 6

People say that Islam supports terrorism. I do not agree. I think they're just misunderstood.

Answer 7

It says to use a more euphemistic name.

Answer 8

Christ Jesus is Truth, He alone is the way.
God Bless You....Peace.
