In separate attacks last week, ISIS terrorists killed 39 tourists at a beach resort in Tunisia, and close to 30 worshipers at a Shia Mosque in Kuwait. The onslaught came shortly after the group called on its militant Jihadi sympathizers to expand operations in the month of Ramadan.

ISIS has demonstrated an unflinching determination to take out anyone who dares to disagree with it. Its members have slaughtered Yazidis and Christians, but the vast majority of its victims have been Muslims who resist it and refuse to acknowledge its authority. ISIS has even executed Sunni clerics who refused to swear allegiance to it, and Muslim women who did not submit to its worldview.

This feature is shared across all terrorist groups operating in the name of Islam. The vast majority of the victims of the Taliban, for instance, are also Muslims. Hundreds of Shia Muslims have been killed just in the last few years. And People have lost many close friends in similar attacks on the Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and even in America.

So when some anti-Islam critics keep doggedly
associating the faith of us Muslims with the acts of our tormentors, we call them out for their
insensitivity.

I do not disagree that part of the motivation for
religious extremism is rooted in perverted
interpretation of scripture by radical extremists.
However, it is dishonest to label the vast majority of Muslims who reject such interpretations as non- devout or "nominal."

An honest study of the Quran shows that groups like ISIS act in complete defiance of the injunctions of Islam. The Quran, for instance, equates one murder to the elimination of the whole human race (5:32), and considers persecution and disorder on earth as an
even worse offense (2:217). It lays emphasis on
peace, justice and human rights. It champions freedom of conscience and forbids worldly punishment for apostasy and blasphemy.

A study of the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad also demonstrates that he warned us of the rise of religious extremism in this age in astonishing detail.

1,400 years ago, he prophesized that a time would come when nothing would remain of Islam but its name, nothing of the Quran but its word, and that many "Mosques would be splendidly furnished but destitute of guidance" (Mishkatul Masabih). In these latter days, the true spiritual essence of Islam would be lost, and religion, for the most part, would be reduced to a ritualistic compulsion. He foretold that the clergy would be corrupt and be a source of strife during these times.

How true this is of the extremist clerics in parts of the Muslim world that abuse the pulpit to preach division and hate.

He also went on to describe terrorist groups such as ISIS that would try to hijack the Islamic faith. At this time of dissension, he said there would appear "a group of young people who would be immature in thought and foolish." They would speak beautiful words but commit the most heinous of deeds. They would engage in so much prayer and fasting that the worship of the Muslims would appear insignificant in comparison. They would call people to the Quran but would have nothing to do with it in reality. The Quran would not go beyond their throats, meaning they wouldn't understand its essence at all, merely regurgitating it selectively. The Prophet then went on to describe these people as "the worst of the creation."

As if this outline wasn't clear enough, another
tradition in the book Kitaab Al Fitan reported by
Caliph Ali, the fourth successor to Prophet
Muhammad, describes these people as having long hair and bearing black flags. Their "hearts will be hard as iron," and they would be the companions of a State (Ashab ul Dawla). Interestingly, ISIS refers to itself as the Islamic State or Dawla. The tradition further mentions that they will break their covenants, not speak the truth and have names that mention their cities. The ISIS caliph, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, comes to mind.

Prophet Muhammad furiously and painfully described these evildoers, and admonished Muslims to beware of their evil and fight it. "Whoever fights them is better to Allah than them," he proclaimed.

Reflect on this critical point. Whenever ISIS kills in the name of Islam, claims to follow the Quran, or uses the Holy month of Ramadan to spread anarchy across the
globe, know that Prophet Muhammad explicitly
warned us of these imposters, and entrusted us to root them out.

Interesting

hmmm

..

What utter drivel, you go on and on about nothing without actually qouting any passage of your koran to back up your claim, why dont you spare us all the crap and ask your so called islamic clerics and imams to publicly condemn the actions and attrocities of the terrorist who commit such heinous crimes in the name of allah. While you are at it also publicly condemn the verses of your koran that justifies such evil.

You refer to koran 5:32 as condemning killing but you fail to quote exactly what that verse says

Koran 5: 32
“…if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - 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.”

Mischief in this verse refers to people who go contrary to the teachings of mohammed and spread false words that dont conform with islam. if you not clear about this verse ask your imam.

Islam is not of peace, it is evil, it preaches and propagates violence against non muslims.
So dont come here trying to make it appear otherwise. Your lies are legendary.

The right path to fight the people of the book (the Jews and the christians), for not accepting allahh and his apostle (quran 9:29)?

Meaning you are still looking for guidance and right path. Jesus is the guidance and the right path you are looking for. Jesus says ''I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE, nobody can come unto God but by me''.

The path of those whom you have blessed (Muslims ) not of those who incurred your anger (Jews) or those who went astray (Christians).

The fact that you are still looking for the right path shows you are yet to find it, meaning islam that you are in is not the right path.

Quranic inspirations for ISIS:

Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."

Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority"
