is. What supposedly justifies terror and violence for these people is
such dangerous slogans, based on Darwinism, as "only the strong
survive," "big fish eat little fish," "war is a virtue" and "man ad-
vances by waging war." Actually, once Darwinism is done away
with there will be no more philosophies of "conflict."
The three Divine religions that most people in the world believe
in, Islam, Christianity and Judaism, all oppose violence. As we shall
be seeing in the sections that follow, all three religions wish to bring
peace and harmony to the world, and oppose innocent people
being killed and suffering cruelty and torture. Conflict and violence
violate the morality that Allah has set out for man, and are abnormal
and unwanted concepts. However, Darwinism sees and portrays
conflict and violence as natural, justified and correct concepts that
have to exist. For this reason, the root of the terrorism that plagues
our planet is not any of the Divine religions, but in irreligion, and its
expression in our times: "Darwinism" and "materialism." Since
Darwinism is taught in just about all schools in almost every country
in the world, as if it were a scientific fact, it is inevitable that new
generations of terrorists will emerge. That is why it is a matter of the
greatest urgency for young people taught that their ancestors were
animals that came into being by so-called chance, that they have no
responsibility toward Allah and that they can only survive by being
victorious in war and conflict should be kept away from such dan-
gerous ideas. Young people brought up in the light of such corrupt
ideas can become ruthless enough to slaughter innocent children
and perpetrate all kinds of actions that violate reason and good con-
science. Indeed, the communist, fascist and racist terror groups that
have plagued the world in the last century have all been the product
of this education system.
In conclusion, the solution lies in a powerful cultural campaign
against Darwinism, the true root of terrorism, and teaching young
people fear of Allah and to behave rationally and virtuously. The re-
sult will be societies that produce people full of peace, feeling of
safety, forgiveness and compassion, as Allah reveals in the Qur'an.
