TERRORISM CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED BY ANY RELIGION OF GOD TERRORISM is a deplorable and horrendous act that can never be condoned by any God-fearing people. As in many other attacks in the past, the terrorists are linked to groups that abuse the name of Islam to commit crimes that are abhorred and strongly condemned by God in the Quran, the Muslims’ holy book. While all the known religions of the world call for LOVE, PEACE, TOLERANCE, FREEDOM OF BELIEF AND MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING, many of the terrorists’ acts are committed in this world by people who call themselves religious, and attribute their horrendous and Satanic acts to the religion. However, God condemns their acts in the scripture. [Quran 7:28] They commit a gross sin, then say, “We found our parents doing this, and GOD has commanded us to do it.” Say, “GOD never advocates sin. Are you saying about GOD what you do not know?” Like all the other religions of God, Islam (Submission in English) promotes peace, love and harmony among the people. Actually the word “Islam,” in addition to meaning submission (to God), is also derived from the Arabic word Salaam (peace). Muslims (Submitters) greet other people by saying Salaam (Peace be upon you). This is similar to Shalom in Hebrew. [Quran 49:13] O people, we created you from the same male and female, and rendered you distinct peoples and tribes that you may recognize one another. The best among you in the sight of GOD is the most righteous. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant. Therefore, the religion of Islam (Submission), advocates freedom, peace and mutual agreement and admonishes aggression. The following verses make it very clear. [Quran 5:87] ...and do not aggress; GOD dislikes the aggressors. [Quran: 7:199] ...You shall resort to pardon, advocate tolerance, and disregard the ignorant. The relations of Muslims (Submitters) with others are based primarily on peace, mutual respect and trust. The theme in the Quran is peace, unless there is oppression or injustice that cannot be resolved by all the peaceful means available. The true religion of Islam forbids the killing of innocent people, irrespective of the cause *religious, political or social beliefs. [Quran 6:151] “...You shall not kill * GOD has made life sacred * except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you, that you may understand.” [Quran17:33] “You shall not kill any person * for GOD has made life sacred — except in the course of justice.”
