This comes as a reply to a post on the front page some days back https://www.nairaland.com/1821011/being-muslim-danger-single-story#24827956
Anytime I see many of these posts dissociating Islam from terrorism, the major question that comes to mind is "WHY?!". How many other people of other religions try so hard today to prove that they are not terrorists? This is a question I'd like muslims to come up and answer.
Since the 9/11 attacks on the US in 2001 which claimed almost 3,000 lives, muslims all over the world have been branded terrorists. This branding has made us to see many of these articles in question. Even movies have been made in respect to that.
Looking at the world today, one doesn't need google to tell that perhaps a part of your Holy Book does support violence. How else do you explain the Talibans, Al-Qaeda, Hamas(still under question), Al-Shabaab or even our own Boko Haram in Nigeria?
Even before the advent of Boko Haram, there were religious riots in the northern part of the country where muslims went on rampage over meaningless issues. Those guys weren't blowing people up, they were burning and beheading people, BH only modernized it. The same trend is seen in the middle east, where they kill Christians and burn churches even if the event they are grieving about didn't happen within their country.
There are several other religions and I HAVE NEVER SEEN a video online or elsewhere showing people killing in the name of Jesus or Buddha (prove me wrong!!!). Even our very own traditionalists kill people for rituals once in a while and specifically, not because someone called "Sango" impotent or "ifa" a liar, then they go on rampage. I'm not saying no other religion is involved in terrorism, but Islam's is too rampant.
Some claim the words of the prophet were twisted, was it only your prophet that existed?! Why would his words be so twisted and yet get so much attention and "followership" WORLDWIDE? Jesus existed long before Muhammad, yet nobody thought of twisting? Any small talk against Muhammad and heads will roll, while other people are dying and no one's talking.
In summary, muslims should stop this futile effort to convince us that they are not violent, 'cus we are not blind or stupid to not know that they are. It's really pissing.

Muslims always frustrate other religious groups to resort to violence. .Muslims love their jihad and Death in the cause of allah's will is encouraged, supported and promoted as well as fully endorsed in Islam. Let's look at some quran verses

The Qur'an:
Qur'an (4:74)-"Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso FIGHTETH IN THE WAY OF ALLAH, BE HE SLAIN or be he victorious, on him WE SHALL BESTOW A VAST REWARD"

Qur'an (9:111)-"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, AND SLAY AND ARE SLAIN: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the
Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme."

Qur'an (2:207)-"And there is the type of man who GIVES HIS LIFE to earn the pleasure of Allah..."

Qur'an (61:10-12)"O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty? That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: That will be best for you, if ye but knew! He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the Supreme Achievement."
This verse was given at the battle Uhud and uses the Arabic word, Jihad.
The dark-eyed virgins are mentioned in several places as well, including verses 44:54 and 52:20.
For those who swing the other way, there are"perpetual youth"verse6:17, otherwise known as"boys"verses52:24and76:19.

Qur'an (17:33)"And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, EXCEPT BY RIGHT"
An important verse that is used by Muslims to not only justify their own deaths, but that of other bystanders who might be believers as well. Like we saw 2days ago when the Muslims in Paris killed a muslim police officer in their quest to avenge their prophet. The end justifies the means, with the goal being the defeat of the kafir, their submission and finally the establishment of Islamic rule.

Qur'an 3:151
Soon shall we cast TERROR into the hearts of the unbelievers, for that they joined companion with Allah...

Mohammed was the original terrorist.
Qur'an 8:89
And fight with them until there is no more filna(disorder, unbelief) and religion should be only for Allah

This is just a little taste of the evil commands in the quran which encourages persecutions, intolerance and prejudice.

The OP said he had never seen where followers of any religion kill in the name of their religion. Although that was silly, to say the least, I however responded, at least for the sake of other readers. Now another equally ignorant fella has come with his, quoting verses out of context. How funny!

People should know that no religion has manopoly of terrorism. The above links have clearly shown that.

And please reread the article the OP 'replied' to. And this one also:

Salam.

Its funny how u say the verses are out of context, pls give us the context.. Ur muslim lies are running out.

Again it is funny u give an article written by the huffpost.com.. Apparently ur imam didn't tell u those guys are heathens and atheists bent on promoting the securalist agenda and anti Christianity and even anti religious sentiments.

They are not a credible site but u Muslims don't care about credibility. U just disseminate anything that supports ur argument at the moment.

Shalom.

Even the Pope can say what's factual about Muslims. Ditto Richard Dawkins. It's not about the messenger, it's the message that matters.

Huffpost reports what's there. Nothing ideological. Not at all.

Did you please read the referred article to which the OP replied? Obviously no. So, go do that and then come back for a mature discussion.

And, who are you to interprete Qur'an just like that? I can as well qoute any religious book you know out of context... You sure will be amazed. There's this violence stuff in all. But it's only ignorant people who engage in that.

May the Almighty God guide us, amin.
