Islam is NOT TERRORIST



Even though Muslim terrorists oppose/attack many countries, but the main question is, is Islam a terrorist religion? The answer to this question is no. There have been many terrorist attacks in Pakistan which have lead to the thinking of Islam being a terrorist religion. But have they ever thought about the other Muslims who are not terrorists. The Muslims who are not terrorists are mainly being accused for attacks being caused by Osama Bin Laden, leader of the group named Al-Qaida.

Al-Qaida are a network of terrorists who only believe in bad deeds for example girls should not be educated and attacking different religions. The leaders, Osama Bin ladin and Ayaman Al-Zawahiri are both most wanted terrorists, U.S.As most wanted criminals and are part of the bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. They have been assassinating, bombing, hijacking, kidnapping and have also done suicide attacks. These attempts are forbidden in Islam for the following reasons:

•Islam is a Religion of peace, faith and tranquillity.
It states in the Qur'an that:

If anyone slays a person, it would be as if he slew his people, and if anyone saves a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all people. Qur'an 5:32

Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. At present, the International community has been unable to formulate a universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition of terrorism. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians).

Some definitions also include acts of unlawful violence and war. The history of terrorist organizations suggests that they do not select terrorism for its political effectiveness. Individual terrorists tend to be motivated more by a desire for social solidarity with other members of their organization than by political platforms or strategic objectives, which are often murky and undefined.

The word "terrorism" is politically and emotionally charged, and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. Studies have found over 100 definitions of "terrorism". The concept of terrorism may itself be controversial as it is often used by state authorities to delegitimize political or other opponents, and potentially legitimize the state's own use of armed force against opponents (such use of force may itself be described as "terror" by opponents of the state.). A less politically and emotionally charged, and more easily definable, term is violent non-state actor (though the semantic scope of this term includes not only "terrorists," while excluding some individuals or groups who have previously been described as "terrorists").
