Terrorist is defined as a person, group, or organization that uses violent action, or the threat of violent action, to further political goals; frequently in an attempt to coerce either a more powerful opponent, (such as a citizen or group targeting a government).
ACTIVITIES OF TERRORISTS & TEACHINGS OF ISLAM:
1. Terrorists kidnapped people and forced them to change their religion, but Islam teaches: “Let there be no compulsion in religion…..” (Qur’an 2:2
2. They forcefully married young girls/women, while Islam preaches: “…..Do not inherit women against their will…..” (Qur’an 4:19).
3. They are aggressive towards those who do not follow their beliefs, while Islam says: “IF IT HAD BEEN YOUR LORD’S WILL, all of the people on Earth would have believed [in one religion]….” (Quran 10:99)
4. They murdered thousands of Muslims and Christians alike in cold blood, but Islam teaches that “….If any one slew a person …… – it would be as if he slew the whole people, and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people…” (Quran 5:32)
5. They use the cover of Islam to commit their mayhem and claim they are doing ALLAH’S work or JIHAD (HOLY WAR), but Islam Teaches: “…… DO NOT TRANSGRESS LIMITS; FOR GOD LOVES NOT TRANSGRESSORS.” (Qur’an 2:190)”
6. They believes once you are not with them you are an enemy to them, but Allah says: “O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other)……” (Quran 49:13)
7. They have unleashed tyranny and indecency in the land. Allah says: “God commands justice and doing good and giving to relatives. And He forbids indecency and doing wrong and tyranny….” (Quran 16:90)
Finally, upon all their false claims its clear to see that TERRORISTS do not represent Islam in any way because, they are acting against it.
Politicians should fear God & stop using religion as a poitical decoy&as a distraction from the critical things that bedevil our Nation.
MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
