1. Terrorism is above all murder. Murder is strictly
forbidden in the Qur’an. Qur’an 6:151 says, “and do not
kill a soul that God has made sacrosanct, save
lawfully.” (i.e. murder is forbidden but the death penalty
imposed by the state for a crime is permitted). 5:53 says,
“… whoso kills a soul, unless it be for murder or for
wreaking corruption in the land, it shall be as if he had
killed all mankind; and he who saves a life, it shall be as
if he had given life to all mankind.”
2. If the motive for terrorism is religious, it is
impermissible in Islamic law. It is forbidden to attempt
to impose Islam on other people. The Qur’an says,
“There is no compulsion in religion. The right way has
become distinct from error.” (-The Cow, 2:256). Note
that this verse was revealed in Medina in 622 AD or after
and was never abrogated by any other verse of the
Quran. Islam’s holy book forbids coercing people into
adopting any religion. They have to willingly choose it.
3. Islamic law forbids aggressive warfare. The Quran
says, “But if the enemies incline towards peace, do you
also incline towards peace. And trust in God! For He is
the one who hears and knows all things.” (8:61) The
Quran chapter “The Cow,” 2:190, says, “Fight in the way
of God against those who fight against you, but begin
not hostilities. Lo! God loveth not aggressors.”
4. In the Islamic law of war, not just any civil engineer
can declare or launch a war. It is the prerogative of the
duly constituted leader of the Muslim community that
engages in the war. Nowadays that would be the
president or prime minister of the state, as advised by
the mufti or national jurisconsult.
5. The killing of innocent non-combatants is forbidden.
According to Sunni tradition, ‘Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, the
first Caliph, gave these instructions to his armies: “I
instruct you in ten matters: Do not kill women, children,
the old, or the infirm; do not cut down fruit-bearing
trees; do not destroy any town . . . ” (Malik’s Muwatta’,
“Kitab al-Jihad.”)
6. Terrorism or hirabah is forbidden in Islamic law,
which groups it with brigandage, highway robbery and
extortion rackets– any illicit use of fear and coercion in
public spaces for money or power. The principle of
forbidding the spreading of terror in the land is based
on the Qur’an (Surah al-Ma’ida 5:33–34). Prominent
[pdf] Muslim legal scholar Sherman Jackson writes, “The
Spanish Maliki jurist Ibn `Abd al-Barr (d. 464/ 1070))
defines the agent of hiraba as ‘Anyone who disturbs free
passage in the streets and renders them unsafe to travel,
striving to spread corruption in the land by taking
money, killing people or violating what God has made it
unlawful to violate is guilty of hirabah . . .”
7. Sneak attacks are forbidden. Muslim commanders
must give the enemy fair warning that war is imminent.
The Prophet Muhammad at one point gave 4 months
notice.
8. The Prophet Muhammad counseled doing good to
those who harm you and is said to have commanded ,
“Do not be people without minds of your own, saying
that if others treat you well you will treat them well, and
that if they do wrong you will do wrong to them.
Instead, accustom yourselves to do good if people do
good and not to do wrong (even) if they do evil.” (Al-
Tirmidhi)
9. The Qur’an demands of believers that they exercise
justice toward people even where they have reason to
be angry with them: “And do not let the hatred of a
people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is
nearer to righteousness.”[5:8]
10. 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. I wrote
elsewhere, “Dangerous falsehoods are being
promulgated to the American public. The Quran does
not preach violence against Christians.

Although this is an honest attempt to clear Islam of the charges of terrorism, it is futile if you ask me. It failed to address the theological position of ISIS whilst persuading the readers with a number of verses or traditions. If you are won over by the writer based on this skeletal presentation, you may be won over by ISIS based on their presentation. ISIS is not just a band of thugs killing and pillaging. They also present verses and traditions to support their stands.

I have discussed the problem of copying and pasting from webpages without due investigation. I did this 3 weeks ago when ignoring the degree of misorgyny, restriction of women in the 'Sharia compliant' Muslim states today, an article was copied and posted in this section, boasting of women empowerment in mainstream Islam.

The whole picture of terrorism in the Muslim world is not as simple as many Muslims think. For long, Verses and traditions have been used to condemn groups like ISIS but it did not change much. Islamist insurgents groups continue to swell with recruits/sympathizers and multiply worldwide. In the 90s, all we heard was Al Qaeda and Bin Laden, today we have others like Al Shabaab, Boko Haram, ISIS, Taliban emulating Al Qaeda inspite of the fatwas by the so called Islamic scholars.
