I am very saddened by people who commit heinous acts of terrorism and murder and claim that it is in the name of Islam or Allah.
Islam is a religion of peace.
Those who truly understand the religion will know that it says, if you kill one, it is as if you killed mankind.
Islam doesnt allow the killing of animals, much less humans.
Islam allows self defense, and self protection at the face of an enemy who attacks you. A muslim should never instigate violence. Islam means peace.
When the prophet occupied Mecca, he ordered that trees not be cut down, women and children not be hurt, and people in the fields not be hurt. He pardoned nearly all. This for me is the true spirit of Islam, not bombings and beheadings. Please wake up world and hear the truth.. May peace be upon all.
