  • Top Ten Ways Islamic Law forbids Terrorism

      I agree! 🙂

      @RBTL, well, no .. its not an interpretation of the quran they use. There is no justification in the quran for what they do, even if its misinterpreted. Their ideology is derived from Qutbism, which is not islamic at all.

      @Julian, same is done for christians.

      But those who reject faith after they accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of faith, never will their repentance be accepted; for they are those who have (of set purpose) gone astray. [Quran 3:90]

      @Henry James, only mufassirs are qualified to interpret the quran. Clerics are not permitted to do such. Mufassirs have a methodology too. Their interpretations are NOT, as some claim, whatever they believe or want it to say.

      @edwards, The problem is we got people like you throwing around words like "jihad" without properly understanding how what it means and the context in which it is used in the Quran. That seriously misleads people about Islam.

      @joe from Lowell, but when a christian does something wrong does the media blame all of christendom ? NO!

      @RBTL, Al Qaeda and the Taliban have never been able to justify what they do from the quran.

      There is no quranic command for the unjust killing of another human.
