ONLY BY LOVE, BEDIUZZAMAN ALWAYS
SAID, CAN TERRORISM BE OVERCOME

the morality of the Qur'an. As he once said,
The true lesson from the Qur'an is this: If there are ten

permissible to burn that house... even though the morality of
the Qur'an forbids such a thing... [to] ruin ten innocent
people for the sake of one monster? Would not burning that
house down be the greatest possible cruelty and betrayal? ...
the morality of the Qur'an forbids the endangering of the
lives or the harming of the 90 percent of innocent people for
the sake of the ten percent of monsters who threaten security.
We must be aware that we are bound by religion to preserve
security and abide by that lesson from the Qur'an... 53
