RE:Terrerist has no relegion

Ismael, I am sure that is what you personally practice and that you are a peaceful patriotic Indian. I am also sure that most Muslims are peaceful people.

However, you cannot deny that there are inherent conflicting teachings of bigotry and hatred in Quranic verses and the Hadiths. I have studied the scriptures very well and am speaking from an intellectual perspective, and not hatred. The intolerant aspects of Islam do give a source of strength and justification to terrorists such a Bin Laden and the Islamic terrorists who are killing innocent people throughout the world.

These aspects have been intellectually analyzed by many muslim intellectuals such as Ali Sina, Ibn Warraq, Anwar Shaik and scored of others.

If you are talking about Sufism, I would agree that it is a lot more peaceful. Unfortunately, it is not considered Islam by the Salafists and most Sunnis. By the way, Sufism has heavily borrowed from Hinduism. Anwar Shaik discusses these in his work on mysticism.
