'Islam has nothing to do with terrorism'

2007-03-24

LAHORE: Dr Zulfiqar A Kazmi, Universal Peace Federation president, on Friday said that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. Addressing a meeting of religious scholars, he said Islam was a religion of peace and there was a need to work for better understanding of Islam in the West. He said no religion had ever been linked to terrorism in Northern Ireland, Sri Lanka, Japan, Germany and many other countries. He said that he would convene an international convention on interfaith dialogue in Washington in August and religious leaders from various countries would participate in it.

#18 " #10 Since no Muslim will ever admit that Mohammed acted like a terrorist they're opinions don't mean squat to me."

It wasn't enough that many others did not mention that b4 9/11 out of perhaps politeness. Now they're offended if you don't agree that he was the most perfect man! Sure way to achieve peace indeed!

That's ok then, JosephM. Valentine's Day is a scant eleven months away, and an awful lot can happen between now and then. Silly Iran! ;-)

#14 What if the terrorists define themselves based on their religion but the other terrorists mentioned did not? oops, argument dies.

Assuming he's right, does that mean we have his permission to treat captured terrorists in an unIslamic way?

#12 True. Terrorism is an un-Islamic concept, Just like Love, Gratitude, and Empathy.

#3 Islam doesn't need terrorism, it has jihad instead. Depending on the circumstances, jihad can be waged in uniform (ie the Six Day War) or out of uniform (7/7). But it's all jihad. Islam indeed has nothing to do with terrorism.
