Islam and terrorism

Submitted by Kazmifer (United States), Nov 16, 2005 at 13:05

Prophet of Islam said in his famous hadith:
Bukhari:V4B52N220 "Allah's Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.'"
And Allah said in Quran:
Qur'an 8:12 "I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle."
Qur'an 8:57 "If you gain mastery over them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them, so that they would learn a lesson and be warned."
Qur'an 8:67 "It is not fitting for any prophet to have prisoners until he has made a great slaughtered in the land."
Most revered recent muslim imam Khomeini had to say the following in his speech to the muslim umma in 1981:

Why do you Mullahs only go after the ordinances of prayer and fasting?
شما ، علما چرا فقط سراغ احكام نماز و روزه ميرويد
Why do you only read the Quranic verses of mercy and do not read the verses of killing? چرا هی آيات رحمت در قرآن را ميخوانيد و آيات قتال را نميخوانيد
Quran says; kill, imprison! قرآن ميگويد بكشيد ، حبس كنيد
Why are you only clinging to the part that talks about mercy? چرا شما همان طرفش را گرفته ايد كه صحبت از رحمت ميكند
Mercy is against God. رحمت مخالف با خداست
Mehrab (mosques) means the place of war, the place of fighting. محراب يعنی مكان حرب ، يعنی مكان جنگ
Out of the mehrabs, wars should proceed, از محرابها بايد ، جنگ پيدا شود
Just as all the wars of Islam used to proceeded out of the mehrabs. چنانكه بيشتر جنگهای اسلام از محرابها پيدا ميشد
The prophet hadsword to kill people.. پيغمبر شمشير دارد تا آدم بكشد
Our holy men were quite military men. ائمه ما همگی چندی ، نظامی بودند
All of them were warriors. همگی جنگی بودند
They used to wield swords; they used to kill people.
شمشير ميكشيدند ، آدم ميكشتند
We need a Khalifa who would chop hands, cut throat, stone people
ما خليفه ميخواهيم كه دست ببرد ، حد بزند ، رجم كند
In the same way that the messenger of God used to chop hands, cut throats, and stone people.
همانطور كه رسول الله دست ميبريد ، حد ميزد ، رجم ميكرد

In the same way that he massacred the Jews of Bani Qurayza (4) because they were a bunch of discontent people. همانطور كه يهود بنی قريظه را ، چون جماعتی ناراضی ! ... بودند قتل عام كرد
If the Prophet used to order to burn a house or exterminate a tribe that was justice.
اگر رسول الله فرمان داد كه فلان خانه را آتش بزنيد ، فلان طايفه را از بين ببريد ، حكم به عدل كرده است
