U already mentionned that muslims who practise terorrism are following the Hadiths.But as i said these are simply a misunderstandin and misinterpretation of the Hadith which leads to acts of violence.To prove my point i'll talk a bit about christian terrorism.My point is not to accuse christians because i know christianity does not support terrorism but it is mainly to show that there is always a minority who misinterprete the Holy books or use them for their selfish purposes.
Definition of christian terrorism: Christian terrorism is religious terrorism by groups or individuals, the motivation of which is typically rooted in an IDIOSYNCRATIC INTERPRETATION OF THE BIBLE and other Christian tenets of faith. From the viewpoint of the terrorist, Christian scripture and theology provide justification for violent political activities.
The Sons of Freedom, a sect of Doukhobor anarchists, have protested nude, blown up power pylons, railroad bridges, and set fire to homes, often targeting their own property.
The National Liberation Front of Tripura, a rebel group operating in Tripura, North-East India classified by the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism as one of the ten most active terrorist groups in the world, has been accused of forcefully converting people to Christianity.
The Nagaland Rebels of Nagaland, North-East India is a coalition of rebel groups including the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah, has been involved in an ethnic conflict that has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths since the Indian Declaration of Independence.
The Lord's Resistance Army, a sectarian guerrilla army engaged in an armed rebellion against the Ugandan government, has been accused of using child soldiers and committing numerous crimes against humanity; including massacres, abductions, mutilation, torture, rape, porters and sex slaves.
It is led by Joseph Kony, who proclaims himself the spokesperson of God and a spirit medium, primarily of the Christian Holy Spirit which the Acholi believe can represent itself in many manifestations.
LRA fighters wear rosary beads and recite passages from the Bible before battle, but some Islam is mixed into their beliefs as well.
Now if i were to apply your logic ,the Bible would allow these act of terrorism:murder ,plunder,abduction etc..
The Bible would hence be an object of controversy since christians FOLLOW IT to shed blood.
Thats a fallacy in reasoning and that s why i said that Islam like christianity does not support acts of terror.U r not a terrorist ,so your way of practising christianity is very much different from their's ,so whats the logical explanation?
Is it that the Bible allow terrorism?
Or simply that people have misinterpretated the verses of the Bible and others have used them to their advantage DESPITE BEING FULLY AWARE THAT THIS WAS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.
Likewise in islam people use the verses from the Quran to justify their acts of violence and to some extent the hadiths but in any case they are truly wrong since their interpretation comes from their own dementic mind ,thats why they can t differentiate between good or bad.
The purpose of this article was not to put doubt on the Bible because as a muslim i do believe that the Bible is the word of God and must hence be respected.It was to show the verses of the Holy books must be subjected to analysis by thise who have the knoledge.
Allah told us to beware while reading the Quran because if that Quran can lead us to the right path it can also lead us astray and this is exactly what has happened today.
