A Look At The Quran and Terrorist

You may be wondering why I am writing about the Quran. It is mostly because of all of the mis-information that we have heard from the media over the past 5 or 6 years.     Most terrorist seem to use a religious angle for their activities of killing innocent people by gun or bomb. We've all heard the "kill the infidel" line from the White house and the media and all of these other pundits. They have all claimed that the Quran tells the terrorist to do this and I can tell you for a fact that it does not! I have been reading the Quran the past week or so and it is actually a very good read!     While I do not go along with all of its ideas on God, it is much more than just a book!  From Submission,  here are a few verses from the Quran:     Like all the other religions of God, Islam (Submission in English) promotes peace, love and harmony among the people.

[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. "     The religion of  Islam (Submission in English),  advocates freedom, peace and mutual agreement and admonishes aggression. [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 as long as there is no oppression or injustice that cannot be resolved by all the peaceful means available. The religion of  Islam forbids the killing of innocent people, irrespective of the cause - religious, political or social beliefs. Quran, the Muslims' holy book and scripture declares; [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. ....."   More of the article is HERE
