50 Islam Denounces Terrorism
and reverence. There are no threats and intimidation in the jihad in the
Qur'an. Islam is not that kind of faith.
There is no slaughter, death, hatred and rage in Islam, nor in
Christianity or in Judaism. Therefore, if someone says, "I learned from
the Qur'an that I must kill, bomb and curse people" then he is lying, or
has been mistaught. A radical, even if he claims to be a Muslim, in fact
follows a superstitious faith invented solely for the purpose of killing,
bombing and cursing, rather than the Islam revealed in the Qur'an.
That false faith does not stem from the Qur'an.
The members of this superstitious faith may never actually have
read our Holy Book, the Qur’an, which they kiss and touch to their
foreheads and hang on the wall. That is the kind of faith in
which everything is dark. It offers hatred instead of
love, anger instead of affection,
"Waging jihad" in Islam
means to educate the
other side, to teach
moral virtue and to
strive to turn people
away from evil. Those
who murder supposed-
ly in the name of jihad
are not acting in the
light of the Qur'an.
THESE HATEFUL SCENES
DO NOT REPRESENT ISLAM
