Islam, a religion of mercy, does not permit terrorism. In the Quran, God has said:

“God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers.” (Quran 60:8)

The Prophet Muhammad, may God praise him, used to prohibit soldiers from killing women and children,[1] and he would advise them: “...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.”[2] And he also said: “Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.”[3]

Also, the Prophet Muhammad has forbidden punishment with fire.[4]

He once listed murder as the second of the major sins,[5] and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, “The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed.[6]”[7]

Muslims are even encouraged to be kind to animals and are forbidden to hurt them. Once the Prophet Muhammad said: “A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth.”[8]

He also said that a man gave a very thirsty dog a drink, so God forgave his sins for this action. The Prophet, may God praise him, was asked, “Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?” He said: “There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.”[9]

Additionally, while taking the life of an animal for food, Muslims are commanded to do so in a manner that causes the least amount of fright and suffering possible. The Prophet Muhammad said: “When you slaughter an animal, do so in the best way. One should sharpen his knife to reduce the suffering of the animal.”[10]

In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.

Well actually, we do. Saddam for example, Imam husainy led a event celebrating the death of saddam. Second of all, we don't actually believe that these storys of terrorists are true. For example, the twin towers. I veiwed evidence that it was bush, to make an excuse start wars with avghanistan. So when the media lies. For example fox. It is abvios that they are against muslims. If they are against muslim, they would make up bad stories about them. And that is what fox does. Make up, story's. And the watchers just believe it after getting brainwashed.

Nice try but celebrating the death of a dictator isn't exactly the same as speaking against terrorism perpetrated by muslims. Maybe you haven't been paying attention but the twin towers was one of the few examples where islamic leaders actually did speak out against terrorism. I find it surprising that you are happy about the passing of one muslim dictatorship but on the other hand defend the actions of another one, you can't have it both ways. How about the Bali bombings? Or the Kenyan bombings? or any number of marketplace car bombings in Iraq, the main victims of these actions were and are muslims and the people doing the bombings are also muslim, did these things happen or are they just part of your worldwide antimuslim conspiracy theory?

ok you said that we actually do support these criminal acts. Well thats wrong because how can we support these wrong acts when they do not exist! Hamas. Yes they do exist. I support them! Why? Becasue they are fighting for there contry. (just like american soldiers fighting to protect theire country--but american soldiers dont fight for america no more--where were they when new orleans was filled with water? in iraq!?) My point is hamas aint terrorist just because they fight israelies to stop them from stealing and injustly killing and cousing terror to palistine. If thats what you call terrorism, then you just called, americans terrorists. Either way, bush is a terrorist. But any ways back to subject. So we dont stand for terrorists (cryminals) but for muslims. AND FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT PEACE EITHER MUSLIM OR NOT MUSLIM.

Hamas is fighting for their country by lobbing rockets into Israel on a daily basis? Right now it would seem that Hamas is the terrorist, just ask anyone from Hezbollah, maybe it's not me that has been brainwashed. You say you don't stand for terrorists but for muslims, but as has been shown over and over again there are muslims that are terrorists and the problem is that no islamic authorities are speaking out against them while at the same time these same authorities have no problem speaking out about a cartoon or a book. It's time for Islam to grow up and get its priorities straight.

sO YOUVE GOT IT ALL WRONG MY FRIEND. youv'e got to turn off al the lies on the tv and see what islam has to say about these unjustice acts.

I've been listening for what muslims have to say about these acts and muslims have been silent.

You keep going in circls. Did you read what i said correctly! The definition of a terrorist is different thn the deffinition of a muslim! One Who is muslim cant be a terrorist. One who is a terrorist aint a muslim. That just summerises what i have to say here. But further more, terrorist is one whome does such acts to couse terrer. Muslims by definition of the quran is one whome follows allah. And if that one follows allah, would follow gods rule. AND GOT SAYS IN THE QURAN, TO NOT KILL A MAN, COUSE WAR, MISCHEIF FOR THEY ARE THE ONES WHOME ARE NOT MUSLIMS. I am a muslim. And i am not a terrorist. Now hamas claims they are muslim. And bush claims they are terrorists.
Now who is right and who is wrong? well first lets see what they are doing. They are sending missles to israel. From there you could jump to the conclusion they are terroists. But if you look at the reason why, it is because they are trying to protect there woman and children on palistinian lands! Israelies are the one who are killing. Isrealies are the ones who are putting land mines, sufficating palistinians with walls, saying they must get out of there land when the palistinians have every right to live there! Not that is terrorism. cousing terror to to people. The reason Hamas attacks back is becasue its a war: palistinians against izraelies. So really, under the surcantanses, israelies are the terrorists. They attacked first. Hamas attacks back!

Well, you make a claim. However, it is obvious Hamas ARE terrorists, since they use civilians, kids and that stuff to have suicide bombers. You claim they are just retaliating, but 'retalliating' would not be killing innocent kids.

I applaud you for your idealism in this world but really you need to open your eyes to what is happening. Your religious affiliation whatever it may be does not mean you can not be a terrorist, there are catholic terrorists, protestant terrorists, jewish terrorists, hindu terrorists, muslim terrorists, sikh terrorists and I'm sure many other sects have their share of terrorists as well. If everyone adhered as stringently to their holy books as much as you seem to there would not be any religiously based terrorists however as it is easy to see many groups use their holy books as an excuse to perform acts of terror.
Now onto the Hamas thing. You claim Israel is a terrorist state because they have put up a wall around the borders that both nations have agreed upon, how is this a terrorist act? If Hamas would stop lobbing rockets into Israel maybe Israel wouldn't see a need for a physical barrier between the two groups. If Hamas would end their call for the destruction of Israel maybe Israel wouldn't need to protect themselves so much. Or are you one of those people that thinks that all of Israel rightly belongs to the Palestine authority? Then you claim that Hamas is at war with Israel, you really don't want that considering Israels track record versus various arab states.
