What Kind of Yemen?


            to as the "Terror of Islam" just as how such acts would not be referred

            to as the "Terror of Christianity" if they were Christians or "Terror of
            Judaism" if they were Jews. It is impossible to kill people in the name
            of a Divine religion because as per the morality of religion, a human
            being is considered as a being who carries the soul of God and thus the
            utmost value is attached to them.
                 Unless otherwise forgiven by God, killing innocent people is a
            grave sin punishable by the torment of hell. A person who lives by the

            morality of the Qur'an and has a fear of God in his heart would never
            dare to kill a person. Being aware that a person will give an account of
            all his deeds he has done throughout his life in this world in God's
            Presence deters Muslims from assuming an attitude incompatible with
            the Qur'an, committing a deed proclaimed to be unlawful by God or
            resorting to violence and terror.
                 No matter the religion a perpetrator of such violence claims to
            belong to, an attack committed in the name of "religion" is actually also
            an attack against the religion itself. True religion commands love, com-

            passion and peace. Terror, on the other hand, is merciless, and seeks
                                                  only mindless bloodshed, killing
                                                      and suffering. Consequently
                                                       while seeking a perpetrator
                                                        for a terror act, we need to
                                                      seek the source not in gen-
                                                      uine piousness, but in radi-
