22 Islam Denounces Terrorism

Darwinist education and a bigoted state of mind. Spreading the true
Islam based on the Qur'an, cleansed of bigotry, is the definitive solu-
tion to terrorism.

Islam Is the Religion of Peace

Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is violence committed against
non-military targets for political purposes. To put it another way, tar-

gets of terror are civilians whose only crime, in the eyes of terrorists, is
to represent "the other side."

For this reason, terrorism means subjecting innocent people to vio-
lence, which is an act bereft of any moral justification. Each and every
terrorist act, as in the case of the atrocities committed by Hitler or Stal-

in, is a crime committed against humanity. For a believer, this is clear
act of defiance of the orders of God. Those who are trying to associate
Islam with terrorism need to remember this important fact.

The Qur'an is a true Book revealed to people as a guide to the true
path and in this Book, God commands men to adopt good morals. This

morality is based upon love, compassion, understanding and mercy.
The word "Islam" is derived from the word meaning "peace" in Arabic.
Islam is a religion revealed to mankind with the intention of present-
ing a peaceful life through which the infinite compassion and mercy of

God manifest on earth. God calls all people to Islamic morals through
which compassion, mercy, peace and love can be experienced all over
the world. In the Qur'an, God addresses believers as follows:

O you who believe! Enter absolutely into peace (Islam). Do not follow
in the footsteps of satan. He is an outright enemy to you. (Qur'an,
2:208)
