Ten Reasons Why Boko Aram Does Not Represent Islam by Nobody: 8:17pm On Apr 03, 2016
1. Terrorism is above all murder. Murder is strictly forbidden in the Qur’an. Qur’an 6:151 says, “and do not kill a soul that God has made sacrosanct, save lawfully.” (i.e. murder is forbidden but the death penalty imposed by the state for a crime is permitted). 5:53 says, “… whoso kills a soul, unless it be for murder or for wreaking corruption in the land, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and he who saves a life, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind.”
2. If the motive for terrorism is religious, it is impermissible in Islamic law. It is forbidden to attempt to impose Islam on other people. The Qur’an says, “There is no compulsion in religion. The right way has become distinct from error.” (-The Cow, 2:256). Note that thisverse was revealed in Medina in 622 AD or after and was never abrogated by any other verse of the Quran. Islam’s holy book forbids coercing people into adopting any religion. They have to willingly choose it.
3. Islamic law forbids aggressive warfare. The Quran says, “But if the enemies incline towards peace, do you also incline towards peace. And trust in God!For He is the one who hears and knows all things.” (8:61) The Quran chapter “The Cow,” 2:190,says, “Fight in the way of God against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! God loveth not aggressors.”
4. In the Islamic law of war, not just any civil engineer can declare or launch a war. It is the prerogative of the duly constituted leader of the Muslim community that engages in the war. Nowadays that would be the president or prime minister of the state, as advised by the mufti or national juris consult.
5. The killing of innocent non-combatants is forbidden. According to Sunni tradition, ‘Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, the first Caliph, gave these instructions to his armies: “I instruct you in ten matters: Do not kill women, children, the old, or the infirm; donot cut down fruit-bearing trees; do not destroy any town . . . ” (Malik’s Muwatta’, “Kitab al-Jihad.”)
6. Terrorism orhirabahis forbidden in Islamic law, which groups it with brigandage, highway robbery and extortion rackets– any illicit use of fear and coercion in public spaces for money or power. The principle of forbidding the spreading of terror in the land is based on the Qur’an (Surah al-Ma’ida 5:33–34). Prominent[pdf] Muslim legal scholar Sherman Jackson writes, “The Spanish Maliki jurist Ibn `Abd al-Barr (d. 464/ 1070)) defines the agent of hiraba as ‘Anyone who disturbs free passage in the streets and renders them unsafe to travel, striving to spread corruption in the land by taking money, killing people or violatingwhat God has made it unlawful to violate is guilty of hirabah . . .”
7. Sneak attacks are forbidden. Muslim commanders must give the enemy fair warning that war is imminent. The Prophet Muhammad at one point gave 4 months notice.
8. The Prophet Muhammad counseled doing good to those who harm you andis said to have commanded, “Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well, and that if they do wrong you will do wrong to them. Instead, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong (even) if they do evil.” (Al-Tirmidhi)
9. The Qur’an demands of believers that they exercise justice toward people even where they have reason to be angry with them: “And do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.”[5:8]
10. The Qur’an assures Christians and Jews of paradise if they believe and do good works, and commends Christians as the best friends of Muslims. I wrote elsewhere, “Dangerous falsehoods are being promulgated to the American public. The Quran does not preach violence against Christians.Quran 5:69 says (Arberry): “Surely they that believe, and those of Jewry, and the Christians, and those Sabeaans, whoso believes in God and theLast Day, and works righteousness–their wage waits them with their Lord, and no fear

Each day a new "wailer" comes on and has something to say about islam, nor because the religion is peaceful, but because the religion has so many questions to answer.

To me -150, for this post, not because you are ignorant but because you obviously don't know the havoc wrecked by your religion in the name of fighting for Allah.

There is absolutely nothing you would say here, the religion of peace would continue to dwindle and die, as everyone now sees it for what it is.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE ISLAMIC TERRORIST GROUP(Stop tarnishing the image of islam)

TERRORISTS are not MUSLIMS. They are enemies of islam sponsored to learn arabic and pretend to be Muslims so as to kill more muslims. They do bad things in the name of islam so that people will hate islam and to frustrate the muslims... They shout "Allahu Akbar" whenever they kill people or commit other crimes so that people will see islam as a terrorist religion. You will never hear them motioning the peaceful verse from quran. They always operate in society densely populated by muslims because muslims are their target. When they notice that people are converting to muslims in large number in a non 
Muslim country, they cause terror in the name of islam to discourage them and make them hate islam. The world leaders know those that are training the terrorists but they keep it secret. Everybody knows that America/Isreal trained OSAMA BIN LADEN and SADAM OSEIN and they were not called terrorists when they were working for CIA. IF ISLAM REALLY PREACH VIOLENCE, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD LONG AGO(At least you have muslims in your neighbourhood).
