Islam prohibits terrorism. Islam prohibits a Muslim from attacking innocent civilians. (Al-Islam)
"Islam does not support terrorism under any circumstances. Terrorism goes against every principle in Islam. If a Muslim engages in terrorism, he is not following Islam. He may be wrongly using the name of Islam for political or financial gain." (USA Today)
"Muslims throughout their history never allowed the killing of civilians, even in the midst of wars such as the Crusades. There is no respected Islamic scholar here in Saudi Arabia or anywhere else in the Muslim world who would support such a fatwa." (The Guardian - Khashoggi)
Hamza Yusuf, an Islamic scholar, has made several comments about Islam and terrorism. "The Prophet Muhammad said, 'Do not kill women or children or non-combatants and do not kill old people or religious people....'"
"Suicide is haram in Islam. It's prohibited, like a mortal sin. And murder is haram. And to kill civilians is murder."
"The Prophet also said that there are people who kill in the name of Islam and go to hell. And when he was asked why, he said, 'Because they weren't fighting truly for the sake of God.'
Muslims Against Terrorism requests media not use phrases such as "Islamic Fundamentalists" or "Muslim Terrorists" regarding terrorist attacks "Because such things do not exist. Islam is the religion of peace, love and mutual respect. Islam is the religion of moderation. Islam is the religion of human value and dignity."

Mr Adam,you are just showing only the sweeter side of Islam,while it is true Quran has some beautiful verses and I personaly found about 125 verses that call for tolerence and patience.
One such example of tolerent verse 2:256 says there is no compulsion in religion,however this has been abrogated or cancelled in later verse 9:5 which calls for intolerece "Fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them and seize them and beleaguer them,and lie in wait for them in every atratagem(of war)... and verse 5:33 "For those who do not submit to Allah their punishment is ...execution or crucifiction or the cutting off of hands and feet,from opposite sides,or exile from the land"
Muslim apologists give various excuses,they say the reading is out of context,but isnt Quran supposed to be the word of Allah and the true follower obeys it by letter and spirit.
Muslims are not to be blamed,but the doctrine indeed does preach hatred,violence and intolerence.

Just follow the truth and always call for equality amongst all Indians. Any Indian who does not do that his guilty irrespective of religion.
Call for all Indians are same and equal. You will find that the hostility will melt away at once.

Aus govt released him only bcoz there is no evidence but not that he is innocent. If that is the case they wud have reinstated his work permit. So he is not yet free. They will observe his actions carefully.

Most of the muslims literate and illiterate may not be thinking of Jihad. But people like you are forcing them to think like that. You people are driving them to edge. For the acts of few hundreds misquided people you are banging your voice in the ears of millions that they are terrorists.
Vote-bank politics and religious bigotry of the Extremist Hindutva brigade has spread the tentacles of fear, suspicion and deep anger in India.
If some misguided elements choose to vent their anger at real or perceived injustice through unjustified and unacceptable violence, must all Indian Muslims be held accountable?
Muslims of India do not crucify Hinduism or Hindus for terrorizing and killing thousands of Muslims for six months in Gujarat with the connivance the state CM Narendra Modi.

Indian hindus are already the victims....and that is why we are retaliating. By the by thx for correcting the name.
India's media, Fanatic and Extremist Hindus leaders owe an apology to Haneef and Muslims for their "reckless" campaign against Haneef as an individual and Muslim community in general?
Stupid Advani took strong exception to the prime minister's statement "that he could not sleep after listening to the grieving mother of the Indian doctor arrested as an alleged terrorist."
Taking his cue from Advani, a Hindu Extremist journalist called for putting in place extra-constitutional measures to track hidden terrorists (read Muslims) in India before it was too late. The worst was to follow. A host of television news networks formulated a calculated plan with an eye on Television Rating Points (TRP) to have a set of panelists insist that Indian Muslims were now well on their way to becoming terrorists. Imagine 200 million terrorists! Surely there is a better way to project India and its diversity.
Sensationalism pervades Indian television channels in the wake of criminal acts (read terrorism) with the anchors giving a communal spin that does not exist. Perpetrators of criminal acts are criminals whether Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Sikhs or any religious group. Why lay the sins of a few upon the doorstep of the entire community?

I agree Jyotish. People will fire on you because they are biased to sone opinion. You keep you moral high and keep fighting. You see many people comming with you. keep it up.
Many messages are being desplayed which are not related to Dr.Haneef but to the communities. We should refrain from creating hatered among various communities and keep our messages related to Dr.Haneef. i will go to the extent that consider Dr.Haneef a human being above the religion and provide your comments. We should take this oppertunity provided by the Rediffmail to creat awareness among masses regarding the dictatorial attitutde of politicians in developed countries. What price fimmigation Ministry of Auastralia should pay to Dr.Haneef. Yes when ever there are doubts governments should follow and investigate but what right Immigration authorities have to cancell the visa of Dr.Haneef before a judgment is pronounced by the court against Dr.Hannef. In fact it is other way round. Court has cleared Dr.Haneef and immigaration authorities has taken the law in their hand to extend the custody of Dr.Haneef. Austrlian Government should and must pay at least 50 million US$ to Dr.Hannef. I request the comments from the readers on this claim of 50 million US$
