Does Islam
really allow the killing of innocent people?
This is one misunderstanding
that keeps rising up against Islam. Islam does not in anyway allow for
the killing of any innocent soul.
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. 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 the Last Day, and works righteousness–their
wage waits them with their Lord, and no fear shall be on them, neither shall
they sorrow.”
In other words, the Quran
promises Christians and Jews along with Muslims that if they have faith and
works, they need have no fear in the afterlife. It is not saying that
non-Muslims go to hell– quite the opposite.
These criminals that are
deforming the wisdom and harmony of Islam by declaring wrong interpretation of
the Quran. Some of these militants
killing innocents are Muslims that committed a grave sin, because killing in
Islam is forbidden. These groups are not
only killing Americans but also killing other Muslims for speaking different
language. They are raping women and
children and burning people alive in the name of Islam.
This is another kind of violence in the world where legal systems are broken allowing them to hide behind powerful words of Islam to justify their crimes. Until when we are going to keep the fear of injustice of minorities in the world against people from different color, race, language or country?
How can we fight violence happening without being THUGs
ourselves? We ordinary people can make a
difference. We can fight violence by
opening our heart. We can bring to an
end the bloodiest century that humanity has ever known.
