ملتقى أهل العلم - Misconception: The Islamic Threat

In name of Allah

Do the teachings of Islam encourage terrorism?

The answer

Certainly not

Islam totally forbids the terrorist acts

that are carried out by some misguided people.

============

Certainly, Islamic Law allows war

any religion or civilization that did not would never survive

but

it certainly does not condone attacks

against innocent people, women or children

==========

. The Arabic word "jihad", which is often translated as "Holy War", simply

means "to struggle".

The word for "war" in Arabic is "harb", not "jihad". "Struggling",

i.e. "making jihad", to defend Islam, Muslims or to liberate a land where Muslims

are oppressed is certainly allowed (and even encouraged) in Islam
