Only Love Can Defeat Terrorism




                        Muslims than the colours of
                        the flowers in a garden is to
                        the flowers themselves. 15

                        Professor        Hamilton
                   Alexander Rossken Gibb is one
                   of the world's foremost experts
                   on Islam. In his book  Whither
                   Islam? he describes the Islamic
                   view of other races:

                        No other society has such a         Joel Augustus Rogers
                        record of success uniting in
                        an equality of status, of opportunity, and of endeavors so
                        many and so various races of mankind… Islam has still the
                        power to reconcile apparently irreconcilable elements of
                        race and tradition. If ever the opposition of the great
                        societies of East and West is to be replaced by cooperation,
                        the mediation of Islam is an indispensable condition. 16
                        Islamic morality aims at a society built on brotherhood
                   and peace, freedom and security. That is why all communities

                   that come into contact with Islam have given up their
                   oppressive, cruel and aggressive ways and have, instead,
                   built peaceful and civilized societies. (For further details, see
                   Justice and Compassion in the Qur'an by Harun Yahya.) In their
                   works, many Western historians have documented Islam's
                   deep and positive effects on communities that came into
                   contact with it. In The Making of Humanity, Professor Robert

                   Briffault discusses the relationship between Western society
                   and Islam:
