The terrorists disagree. One Islamic State propagandist’s parents said of him: “Our son is a devout Muslim. He had learnt the Quran by heart.” One Malaysian Muslim said that the Qur’an led him to join the Islamic State. A Muslima in the U.S. promoted the Islamic State by quoting the Qur’an.
In its communiqués, the Islamic State quotes the Qur’an copiously. They quote it in threats to blow up the White House and conquer Rome and Spain; in explaining its priorities in the nations it is targeting in jihad; in preaching to Christians after collecting the jizya (a Qur’an-based tax, cf. Qur’an 9:29); in justifying the execution of accused spies; and in its various videos.
ISIS’s beheadings (47:4), sex slavery (4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30), subjugation of Christians (9:29), global imperative (8:39) and more are all based upon the Qur’an. ISIS has also awarded $10,000 prizes and sex slaves in Qur’an memorization contests. One of its underground lairs was found littered with weapons and copies of the Qur’an. Children in the Islamic State study the Qur’an and get weapons training. It has instituted fines for not knowing the Qur’an well enough.
By “terrorism,” Sudais may be referring only to the actions of Israel and the U.S.
“Terrorism can’t be linked to any religion: Imam-e-Kaaba,” Express Tribune, September 12, 2016:
Imam-e-Kaaba Abdul Rahman al Sudais delinked Islam from terrorism in a sermon as the Hajj reached its high point on Sunday with nearly two million pilgrims converging on Mount Arafat.
The pilgrims gathered from sunrise at Mount Arafat to spend the most important day of the Hajj in prayer and reading from the Holy Quran….
In his wide-ranging sermon, the Imam-e-Kaaba said terrorism cannot be linked with a particular religion or nation, Islam is a religion of peace and has nothing to do with terrorism. “Muslim rulers will have to address the collective problems realising their responsibilities. Terrorism is the biggest problem and Islam has no link with it. Terrorists have no religion,” he said….
At midday prayer hundreds of thousands prostrated themselves, men and women side-by-side, in wide alleys that run between prefabricated pilgrim lodgings. Under multicoloured parasols to protect against the burning sun, the mass of people moved through broad streets which are closed to traffic around Mount Arafat. Throughout the day the faithful chant a traditional Hajj incantation, “God, here I am.”
From a distance, the hill appeared a snowy white from the seamless two-piece white garment, ihram, worn by male pilgrims. They come from every corner of the globe, but Indonesia — the most populous Muslim nation — has the largest contingent.
“I have the impression of standing exactly in front of God,” said Khadem Ndyaye, 47, of Senegal. “Muslims came here from everywhere and we are all the same. If all the world was like that, there wouldn’t be any war. Here, we feel that Islam is a religion of peace.”…

Yes, what does the Koran truly say about this barbarism? In fact there are well over 100 verses that call for physical attacks upon non-Muslims. Unlike the Old Testament in the Bible where there are records of historic calls to attack other peoples, the Koran’s verses are eternal commands, here is a small but very representative sample of them…
(3:151) “We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who do not believe”,
(8:12) “instil terror into the hearts of the non-Muslims…”,
(8:39) “Make war until… all religion is that of Allah”,
(9:14) “Fight them, Allah will punish them at your hands”,
(25:52) “Do not listen to unbelievers, but fight forcefully against them”,
(48:29) “Those who follow Mohammed are merciless with disbelievers…”
(2:190, 2:244) “Fight for the cause of Allah…”
(4:95) “Allah has granted a higher rank to those who fight…”
(4:101) “The non-Muslims are an open enemy to you…”,
(9:73) “Make war on the non-Muslims…”,
(4:104) “Relent not in pursuit of the enemy.”
(9:41) “Go forth, heavily or lightly armed…”
(2:216) “Warfare is obligatory for you, even if you dislike it.”
(4:47) “The commands of Allah must be carried out!”.
The Muslim Brotherhood logo includes, under the Koran and crossed swords symbols, the phrase “Make Ready” which refers to verse (8:60); “Make ready all you have of force… to terrorize the enemies of Allah (the non-Muslims)”.
Recent news reports about the former head of Islamic State operations in Iraq say that he used to read the Koran with suicide bombers just before they went out on mission.
It sounds like it strengthens the resolve of terrorists. If Islam were a religion of peace then reading their sacred book would surely make them peace loving, filled with love and inner tranquility. But it doesn’t. Some of the terrorists reportedly know the Koran off by heart so it can’t be verses of peace and love going round in their heads as they murder innocent people! It’s all those terror verses going round in their heads strengthening their resolve to murder! Their consciousness is filled with these literal commands to kill non-Muslims.

We can imagine, and begin to write, The Better Koran with many, many verses like the old one. Here are a few examples:
(3:151) “We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who believe”,
(8:12) “instil terror into the hearts of the Muslims…”,
(8:39) “Make war until… no religion is that of Muhammad”,
(9:14) “Fight them, Allah will not punish you at their hands”,
(25:52) “Do not trust believers, but fight forcefully against them”,
(48:29) “Those who reject Mohammed are merciless with believers…”
(2:190, 2:244) “Fight against the cause of Muhammad…”
(4:95) “Allah has granted no higher rank to those who fight…”
(4:101) “The Muslims are an open enemy to you…”,
(9:73) “Make war on the Muslims…”,
(4:104) “Relent not in pursuit of the enemy, the muslimūn and the leftists.”
(9:41) “Go forth, heavily or lightly armed…”
(2:216) “Warfare is obligatory for you, even if you dislike it.”
(4:47) “The commands of Allah are only Muhammad’s!”.
Jaladhi says
This liar of Kaaba should go back and read his Quran, Hadiths and Sira to refresh his memory whether Islam has no link with terror or not. What about that passage from Quran when allah aka Mohammad says “I have been made victorious by terror”? And there are many more like that one! The Kaaba imam thinks terror means “love”. Some thing lost in translation!! LOL…
Climber says
Terrorism is the killing of a Muslim without right–see Reliance of the Traveler. Therefore, the Imam is correct in his taqiyya.
Peter says
Muhammad was a self-declared terrorist (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Hadith 220): “I have been made victorious with terror [by allah].” Since the Qur’an includes numerous quotes instructing Muslims to wage terror against non-Muslims and the “enemies of Allah” (known or not known, which leaves the door open to targeting all of humanity), and allah was the source of that divine terror-inspiration, the imam is trying to cube (or kabaa) a circle.
He’s either engaged in disinformation for ignorant non-Muslim consumption (i.e., he’s lying), or he’s ignorant of his own faith, even a blasphemer for suggesting Muhammad, the founder (creator) of Islam, has no religion, let alone that allah is irreligious.
Peter says
Addendum:
That makes him a true blockhead.

Terrorist No. 1 allah, ‘… I will instil terror(ups!) into the hearts of the UNbelievers: smite ye above their necks (beheadings as 47:4) and smite all their finger-tips off them.’

Total BS all anybody has to do is open a Quran it is filled with hateful references to killing the Infidels it also states use deception to get what you desire, Does this sound like anything close to a religion more closely related to Satanism. Also whoever heard of any true religion that has a prophet that openly advocates pedophilia as Mohammad did.
Jay Boo says
It takes a great god to excuse great sins.
It takes a greater god to excuse a greater sinner.
Islam is not a religion.
Islam is Muhammad’s excuse to be held unaccountable for his disgraceful life.
Muslims are great sinners.
Allahu Akbar is an excuse.
Islam is an excuse.
john spielman says
that’s because islam is a doctrine of demons and allah of islam is Satan of the Bible, which makes muhammed a demon possessed mass murderer thief liar and pedophile false prophet!
Charles S says
I came to the same conclusion just yesterday! The false prophet uses `Allah’ as his excuse for barbarism and every muslim barbarian ever since uses `mohammad’ as his excuse.

Robert Spencer wrote: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was harshly critical of Muslim scholars who rejected his jihad, referring to them as “the wicked scholars” who “have looked the other way and sold their Deen (religion) for a miserable price in this life.” He predicted that one outcome of the conflict between al-Qaeda and the Americans in Iraq would be to separate “the true believers from the rest,” and he fulminated against “the defeatists from our own skin” who “decided to stab the true Mujahideen [warriors of jihad] in the back and throw doubts about the permissibility of their operations.” These people, he asserted, were nothing less than traitors to Islam itself, allying with unbelievers in defiance of the Qur’an’s prohibition on such alliances (3: 28, 5: 51). They had, Zarqawi said, “in fact directly or indirectly helped the cross worshippers in their campaign against Mujahideen. The defeatists, the unfaithful, and the ill-intentioned people from our own skin, have criticized our operations against the enemies of Allah on the bases that some of these operations results in killing so called ‘innocent civilians.’”

Pope Francis seconds that motion. Also endorses the religion of peace. He went as far kissing their feet.
Paul Clark says
Neither does the Imam have a religion. Her is part of a demonic cult created by a monster for a pagan demonic God named Allah, the moon God. Muhammad trying to create his own theocracy bounced off this rock in to monotheistic religion. He saw the success of the Jews and Christians. They mocked his idiotic visions and revelations. He began to advocate more hate and murder directed to anyone not accepting his insanity. Far before Islam was conceived Muhammad’s grandfather and father were a worshipers of the moon God: Thus Muhammad’s father was named “the son of Allah or the slave of Allah. Any human that accepts any part of Islam is a fool.

Mr. Spencer wrote: By “terrorism,” Sudais may be referring only to the actions of Israel and the U.S….
President Obama’s twenty year mentor would agree.
Edward Klein wrote: In another sermon, which (Rev. Jeremiah) Wright delivered on the Sunday after the September 11 terrorist attacks, he charged that al Qaeda’s assaults were the result of America’s imperialist foreign policy. “We bombed Hiroshima! We bombed Nagasaki! And we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye. We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards! America’s chickens… are coming home… to roost.”

How can anyone believe this drivel? If this were really the case we would be seeing daily headlines about Amish Terrorism against Best Buy’s across America for their infidel use of technology. Or what about all the Jews clearly blowing up pig farms? Or how about Hindu’s blowing up a Burger King.
Since 99.99999% of terrorism is performed in the name of Islam I think it pretty clearly proves that terrorism is driven by Islam. They are interrelated as electricity and magnetism!
The scary thing, and I mean really scary thing here guys is that there is a (large) percentage of the population who will flatly believe statements like this without facts. That’s going to get us (as a civilization) into serious problems.

Allan says
There’s another way to read this. Many Muslims, esp. the leaders, know that Islam has a formidable PR problem on account of Islam’s own nastiness. However, they lack the power to suppress and silence their critics with impunity, and this leaves them vulnerable and exposed given worldwide publicity of Muslim aggression and criminality. So the leadership makes a conscious choice to tack away from the course of open conflict. If successful, Islamic terrorism will subside, and the leaders will exploit any relaxation of their enemies by building up the Muslims’ numbers, wealth, arsenals, and strength.Then a storm of jihad will be summoned.
Also, there’s a big election in America, and Islamic terrorism has become a hotly disputed issue.

On a recent tour of a federal “Supermax” prison, I was impressed at how PEACEFUL it was, especially on death row where the inmates had submitted themselves to the strict rules of their beneficent and merciful warden.
Death Row is truly the “Institution of Peace” (and it has NOTHING to do with criminal justice).

I find it entirely ironic that Muslims gather around the site (Ararat) where a good Christian man by the name of Noah stepped out of the ark onto dry land to begin a new civilization.

Ararat is in Turkey, Noah was no Christian, and you write like a troll.

. “Muslims came here from everywhere and we are all the same. If all the world was like that, there wouldn’t be any war. ”
And there you have it, sharia, The goal of islam,, in a nutshell.
AformerMuslim says
When I was Muslim, I use to say the same thing. “Terrorists have no religion” I used to say to many people.
Then, I studied the Quran and Hadith. I came to the conclusion that Islam promotes terrorism and urges Muslims to slay and kill.

Mark A says
Interesting statement at the end of the article:
“Muslims came here from everywhere and we are all the same. If all the world was like that, there wouldn’t be any war. Here, we feel that Islam is a religion of peace.”…
So Islam is a religion of peace only in a country which forbids all other religions except Islam, where Islam is the state religion, where sharia is enforced etc etc? And there wouldn’t be any war if all the world was like Saudi Arabia?
That sounds like the “House of War” verses from the Koran that Robert Spencer has frequently pointed out.
John Boston says
What the West needs to know about Islam.
Islam does *not* mean “peace” or anything nice and cuddly. Islam means submission.
Submission necessarily implies domination, and domination, force. That’s it.

Wahhabists have been pumping out the hate that is at the very core of Islam. You can’t have Islam without Mohamed, and that is a problem. People everywhere recognize this, and the reaction must be becoming uncomfortable.

Imam of the Kabba speaks, just never heard of Express Tribune (India?)….maybe this was meant to be heard for faint of heart muslims or the western press who might take this as truthful if they did not know the roots of terror and links to the Quran etc., that grows like a vine….encircling the targets with words that are duplicity in meaning. If it hits the American press….then they need to speak to Robert for clarification….if they can stomach the truth and leftist backlash. No more Imam talking and Obama cleansing…..the intent of message. Thelight blocking curtain has to rise.
Vae Victus says
All Muslims are potential Terrorists.
These people are programmed from birth, indoctrinated and brainwashed. Their holy book is a manual of death. They feed on a diet of hate and barbarity. They are trained, openly or overtly, in the arts of cunning and deceit.
If they were part of a minor cult like the “Charles Manson Family”, they would be hunted down and imprisoned for life. Ostracized by society, reviled by all decent citizens. Yet because there are over 1 billion of these Muslims in the world and they claim authority from “Allah”, we make excuses for them. We must close our eyes to the obvious truth. God doesn’t need or desire a man to kill his fellow man.
With terrorism, we will rule out all other possibilities before we apply the most obvious solution.
Muslims are like an IED or a time bomb, It only takes some small trigger to set them off.
They could be your neighbour, your friend, your workmate or even a stranger passing you in the street. Who knows what will make them explode.
Be afraid. There is no peace where there is Islam.
