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.

No need to prove anything to anybody other than not creating situation for them to think like that.

Yes Mr. Old Monk, you are right in what you have just written... I've a few Mohammedan friends true musalmaans reading the namaz five times a day yet they disapprove these doctrines.
