What Motivates The Violent Acts Of Jihadists And Islamists? by Nobody: 10:18pm On Jan 05, 2017
Aren't the actions of Islamists and Jihadists motivated by the quran? If it is, then why does anyone read and tailor their lives around a book that motivates and inspires people to kill and harm their fellow humans?

Also, how could this book have been divinely inspired by the creator of the universe if it admonishes it's adherents to kill and perpetuate violence?

OP, it's obvious the quantity inspires Muslims to kill none Muslims. But not all of them have the strong mind you execute this command. The jihadist's are the true Muslims practicin Islam to its letter's. Killing kafirs is normal to them. What i do not understand is The when they do is kill themselves. Example: sunny muslimited killing shiit. Allah n'a wao oo

Knowing how to recite the Qur'an, Putting on a Hijab or a Kaftan, that doesn't make you a Muslim. People who carry out these acts do so with the intent of tarnishing the image of Islam, no where is it mentioned in the Qur'an.

The actions of Jihadists and Islamists are NOT directly inspired by the quran but by the Hadiths and Sunna's.

This Hadith's and Sunna's contains traditions and deeds of the prophet of Islam.

The problem is that many of these are termed weak hadith's by modern Muslims but held high by the so called Jihadists.

Unfortunately too, the Quran too blows hot and cold on issues of who to fight and who to bless as a Muslim. So, while some verses speak about peace, others talk about violence. Eg. ..there is no compulsion in religion vs fight them, kill them using all strategies of war!

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

Depends on the "actions" you are talking about, because in the real sense, jihad means to struggle, strive or persevere. So, it can be in the form of a personal struggle, helping one's parents (this is one of the best), speaking a just statement to a tyrannical ruler, standing up for/defending the poor, weak and oppressed. Jihad doesn't mean going on a killing spree on people who do not agree with your belief, because the Quran already commands Muslims to argue (religious discussions) with unbelievers in ways that are best, and using the best of manners. If I kill you, have I even giving you a chance to accept Islam?, NO. So, it is a grave sin to kill anyone unjustly.

If it is, then why does anyone read and tailor their lives around a book that motivates and inspires people to kill and harm their fellow humans?
It's obviously not. If you open your mind, you'll see that.

Also, how could this book have been divinely inspired by the creator of the universe if it admonishes it's adherents to kill and perpetuate violence?
The Qur'an is divine.
For the latter part, READ ABOVE.

Salaam.

Seems like you are someone that likes violence, from most of your posts. Anyways, if you read my above post (the one before this), you'll get the meaning of jihad, and subsequently, a "jihadist". So, if you are talking about jihad in the light of my above post, then, truly, they are the best of Muslims. But if you are speaking in the light of radical suicide squads, that is completely against Islam.

The quoran is equally guilty as it contains over 140 terror inspiring/instructing verses. Quoran 9:5, quoran 9:29, quoran 8:39 are just a ffew examples of these terror inspiring verses.

They kill themselves because they are confused. When you live by the sword, you die by the sword and the sword will never depart from such a person's household.
