Why are there Muslim terrorists?In: Islam |
Opinion
The basic problem with Islam is that it sometimes causes death. We are talking about the current world situation and not the past. No other religious group except Islam uses religion as the reason they commit murder. Just because a Christian goes nuts and kills people doesn't make it a Christian crime because it was not done in the name of Christianity as all the Islamic terrorist attacks are in the name of Islam.
Islam justifies suicide bombers because they use their body as a weapon to kill non-Muslims and this gets around the Islamic ban on suicide because the primary intent is to kill others, not yourself.
Offensive and defensive jihad is the same if the offensive can be somehow legitimized as in the 911 terrorist attack on the twin towers. The people in the towers paid taxes that paid for the US military in Afghanistan so they were legitimate targets and were not innocent. This act was also defensive as it stopped the taxes from being paid by the people who died.
Having read the Koran and the Hadith and studied the true Islamic faith, the Islamic goal is to establish a Caliphate and convert the entire world to Islam. Until this goal is accomplished, Muslims worldwide will continue to perform terrorist acts in the name of Jihad. Those that cannot or will not fight in the cause of jihad will contribute financially and so there is no peaceful and or innocent Muslim by their own logic. Some commit the acts and others pay them to do it. Islam at it's core is a terrorist organization from the beginning and has never changed.
Opinion
I'm not saying that terrorism is legal in Islam when you're under attack by another country by the way of false excuse to attack and with no reason to attack like America is doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. Think what happens when planes drop bombs on your houses and community in front of your eyes and you see your family screaming with pain and lots of them dead. Naturally your reaction will be to kill every one who did that (so there will be no religion in front of you at this time) so they suicide by bombing their bodies to blow up enemies who have taken their free country and who says that no one can defend their country for getting independent. This way of suicide doesn't came from Muslims. It's come from World War 1 and 2.
SEE ALSO: "What are the Ethics of War in Islam?" to learn about verses in the Quran allowing fighting but only under certain circumstances such as self-protection, against oppression, etc.
Yes Islam allows attack to be categorized as defense as it is convenient.
Opinion
Unfortunately, as with people from every religion, every ethnicity, every creed -- some people will commit evil acts. A so-called Muslim who kills innocent people is not a real Muslim - as a Muslim is defined as "one who submits to the Creator of mankind, the heavens and the earth." God commands people to be kind and do good deeds, to take care of the poor and less fortunate, and to protect innocent people from harm or injustice. Therefore, if someone kills an innocent person, they are not "submitting to the will of God" and cannot be considered a Muslim.
