what does islam say abot terrorism ?

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.

Since an Atheist is Not a theist, or someone who does not believe in Gods, an afairyist
is someone who does not believe in fairies.

An afairyist is one who does not believe in fairies; an atheist is one who does not believe in gods; an anangelist is one who does not believe in angels; an atrollist is one who does not believe in trolls; an agnomist is one who does not believe in gnomes; an ajinnist is one who does not believe in jinns; an anunicornist is one who does not believe in unicorns; an aflyingspagettimonsterist is one who does not believe in the flying spaghetti monster. There are so many invisible beings not to believe in!

Mwahahahaha!

But Pazuzu...I know they're real. They created us and they tell us the right way to live in my Book of Fairies that I have here. I suggest you read it. It tells you everything you need to know to avoid the Eternal Compost Heap, and I really don't want you to go there, my friend. Ah but I can see that you are a disbeliever. Ask the fairies to help you. Say 'Oh fairies, most amazing and cool and sparkly, please help me'. And they will help you. I want you to embrace fairyism!

The neat thing about the Book of Fairies is that they have pictures and everything. Weee. such nice wings. And the clothes they wear (or dont)

allah said :

29. Verily, (during the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

30. And, whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery).

31. And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;

32. And when they saw them, they said: "Verily these have indeed gone astray!"

33. But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers).

34. But this Day (the Day of Resurrection) those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers[2]

I was laughing at the Afairyist comment. The rest was an attempt to show that obviously you can't ask a being anything, if you do not first believe that the being exists. Now you might suggest that you can choose to believe if you really want to, but I'm afraid I would have to take issue with that. Can you choose to believe in my fairies? Of course not.
