Dear Deli_Kizin

I agree most of your post. The quote you made is just seen as the words of Allah which lead extermists to this crooked system. It is nothing but lie about Allah, some so-called religious leaders always giving fatwa as they know better than Allah. People try to interpret Kuran through false beliefs/hadiths which totally contradicts with Kuran so it is seen there are many interpretations of Islam. It is not the fault of Islam but the fault of seyhs, cult/religious leaders. I think this is the biggest problem of today Islamic world, people who do not use their brain-intellect, hire their minds to their religious leaders and worship their leaders or prophet instead of God. Let me tell you an ironic reality of Salman Rushdie, you know there is also a fatwa given against Salman Rushdie, but the book he published “satanic verses” is not originated by Salman Rushdie(I think he named his book falsely, maybe satanic hadiths more suitable), it was taken from the stories of Tabari(923) and Ibn Sa’d(845) which seen big scholars in Islamic world(ironic huh?), it is also a tradition among christian missionaries and conservative christians to vilify the Islam through centuries and the phrase “satanic verses” firstly used by English missionary belligerent Sir William Muir(surprisingly he was also a sir ). So Salman Rushdie is maybe the last person to be blamed , muslims(especially extremists) should look at themselves firstly, how did they create this crooked system?.

Dear Aenigma x

Yes you are right, Islam does not support violence but some extremist groups deceive illiterate people to take advantage of them using religion, to brainwash them mostly political reasons or any goal to reach for them.

For example Muhammed B. who killed Theo van Gogh was a very frusturated young man searching for identity then he found himself in some extremist group, group brainwashed him as Theo van Gogh attacked Morrocans in Holland and kept offending them. Then he fooled himself by believeing he did it in the name of Allah. When one study him, it can be seen that he was seeking for an identitty. In Islam killing is strictly forbidden till believers are killed thus it is self self-defence. You cannot find any verses in Kuran that says kill or fight anyone who did nothing to you.
