There is no room for extremists war in Islam

Dear Williams,

A muslim who has faith in Allah and Islam, can not take an innocent life. Yes, if war is waged on muslims of a country, they have all the right to defend themselves but remaining within the rules defined by Islam. An enemy souldier when become prisoner, he must be treated examplary well. No killings of children,women, civilians and olds.

Islam guides muslims to set examples in all fields of life. If they are not doing they are not following Islam.

Please merit Islam on its message and not on what an x.y.z muslim is doing. Christanity can not be blamed if Hitler killed 6 million Jews. Hitler was Christain but was not following his religion.

Mosrly muslims of today are not following Islam, therefore they are at their lowest. Yet there are individual muslims who are true muslims and are examplary to the people living around them. Therefore, Islam still is the fastest growing religion of the world. It is the final way of life for the humanity from its creator.

Regards,

Hamid
