"Does Islam encourage terrorism?"

Regarding 19^th anniversary of Imam Khomeini’s death I post an issue that shows the deep influence of him on every one who realizes a little about his personality.

Imam Khomeini (R.A)’s office received several letters from different parts of world by non Muslims; some of the letters are presented in this presentation:

An old woman from Neauphle-le-Cheatue writes:

“When you came to our district, blessing came to our house. I’m passing through the last days of my life. Send me a sock, a handkerchief, any thing to have it put in my coffin.”

“… I heard that when you speak, your hearer shed tears. If you have enchanted them from near-by, I’m enchanted by you from far away.”

“… When I see your face in the TV for a short moment, the depth of my soul fills with joy and I shed my tears of longing. I believe you are a man of God. I have two children, one was born blind and the other suffers from a heart disease. Invoke God to cure them.”......

  "Celebrate - 60 Years of Resistance"

Three Episodes: The war Ohod, Eagle Claw Mission, Soldiers has not seen…

First Episode:

The army of the prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) lost in the war "Ohod" and lots of Muslims were martyred in it. After the war, pagans of Mecca decided to attack and destroy Muslims. Muslim became aware about this plan. They bravely got ready for defending, so pagans retuned to Mecca. In this situation God sent down a verse and reminded Muslims the memory of the war "Badr":

"و لقد نصركم الله ببدر و أنتم إذلة فاتقوا الله لهلّكم تشكرون."

123. And Allâh has already made you victorious at Badr, when you were a weak little force. So fear Allâh much [abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden and love Allâh much, perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained] that you may be grateful. (Aal-'Imraan, verse 123)

In that war God sent 3000 angles...

The Iranian organization called 'NGO Islam and Christianity' started production of the documentary after the Dutch lawmaker displayed his movie which urges Muslims to tear out "hate-filled" verses from the Qoran and starts and finishes with an insulting cartoon of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

The NGO's documentary called 'Beyond Fitna' deals with incitement of violence in the Bible. Muslims believe that the book deemed holy by Christians today is a distorted version of the original Bible.

'Beyond Fitna' focuses on the orders given to worldwide Christians in the (distorted version of) Bible for stoking violence, committing genocide, attacking others, beheading and burning women and children who have been taken into captivity.

The documentary recycles film clips from crimes committed by extremist Christians under the inspirations of the said Bible teachings, and aims to provide a response to the allegations made by Pope Benedict XVI, who called Islam a religion of violence after misunderstanding certain Organic verses.

'Beyond Fitna' is produced while an overwhelming wave of protest is shown by worldwide Muslim and Christian communities against Wilder's movie.

Wilders' provocative dissertation Fitna hit the Internet March 27. Even before the seventeen minute film's release, protests erupted.

IR leader had two lectures for New Year:

One in televised message in the beginning of Iranian New Year and another in Imam Reza (A.S.) Holy shrine in Mashad. We read some important parts of them.

The Year of Innovation and Flourishment:

"One of my two expectations in the year 1387 is making innovations in different social, economic and servicing sections, including the country's diplomacy and moving in the path towards science and research; promoting the desired culture of serving people, especially the poor, and developing the country."

"My second expectation this year is completing and flourishing the activities that started in the previous years and the projects that government has initiated since recent years, so that results of the activities and efforts would make the public happy. So, I call this year as the year of innovation and flourishment."

Route of Achievement:

"This year, the atmosphere of innovation should dominate the country and all officials should consider themselves duty bound in using all the financial and spiritual facilities to present new and innovative works and shortcuts through sound management, right planning and wise handling of affairs so that people will get happy with outcome of the said efforts."

Progress & Justice:
"Justice without progress would result in poverty and progress without justice would not be in favor of the country because the class gap must be reduced and all people should gain equal opportunities for work and production."

Public Demands & Justice:

"The people demand should be lead to progress, increase in productivity, national unity, scientific achievements, spirituality, reducing the class gap, public welfare, political self- confidence. These issue would just be gained through justice."

Our Enemies:
"The enemies of the Iranian nation are the Zionist satanic network and the oppressor American regime which have been defeated and isolated among the world public opinion."

American Human Right:
"While the American government have interrogated over 32 million people during the last 6 years, have done ears dropping and its president has blocked the anti-torture bill how it can support the human rights."

European Human Right:
"The Europeans who make hue and cry against any question over holocaust why they do not object to the insult to the Islam's great prophet but support it."

Real Human Right:
"Today the human rights order all governments and nations to be united against America and Zionists' oppressions and the Iranian nation is braver in this path."

Warning to Europe:

"Europe should learn lesson form public hatred of America and Zionist regime."

"Talion the Jalut" in Tehran

In reaction of savage attacking of Israel to Gaza, a meeting was hold in Tehran by some university's students.

In this ceremony, 1000000$ was assigned as a present for every person who kills 3 heads of Israel regime:

   1.  400000$ for killing "Ehud Barak", Minister of Defence.

   2.  300000$ for killing "Meir Dagan", Director of the Mossad.

   3.  300000$ for killing "Amos Yadlin", Military Inteligence Chief.

This present will give to everyone (including Muslims Shia & sunni, faithful Christians and faithful Jews) who kills these 3 violin persons. If this brave and faithful person be martyred in the mission, the present will give to his family.

And this present will increase by the helps of people and NGOs.

At the end of this meeting "Talion Website" was started up: www.qesas.org

University students of Iran wrote a letter to General Secretary of “Islamic Resistance of Lebanon (Hizbullah)”.

These are some companies which support Zionists openly or secretly

According to most of jurisprudents, buying every thing that causes strengthening of Zionism is forbidden.

Oh Muslims!

Wake up!

Don’t pay your money for killing oppressed Palestinians.

1/5 billion Muslims!

One forth of earth population!

If just half of this population doesn’t buy Israeli’s goods, Israel will be destroyed soon.

It’s possible.

We can.

Arguing categorically and strongly against that - “Terrorism in the principals of this religion” If one cares to dabble into the history of Islam, one would  find that this most sublime religion became the victim of extreme brutalities and terrorism by so called  Muslims who did not follow the Prophet’s instructions and teaching of Qur’an - immediately after his demise. There was turmoil and clear violation of the tenants of Islam. They attacked Prophet’s dear daughter Fatima’s house and massacred the very house hold of His immediate family who were the correct bearer of Imamate or leadership.  Khilafat – a falls and so called Islamic political system was imposed upon Muslims in the 6^th century of Christian Area, at the expense of correct and rightful system of Imamat. The rightful successors of Prophet of Islam were suppressed with extreme brutalities.  That lead to a specific sect of deviated, brutal and tyrant kings who exploited Islam to attain their own political ends. They even exist today. If one is interested in looking into the history of this particular sect, one would find all problems of today’s terrorism deeply rooted there in. The same people, have revived and have given militarism to their bended, twisted ideologies, erroneous understanding of Islam and call it Islamic ideologies. In fact they are totally in contradiction to what is the actual CORRECT Islam

"Does Islam encourage terrorism?" The question very directly pointing a finger on the religion of Islam as a whole, (as oppose to this specific sect, who believe in terrorism) and implying that there is something inherently wrong in it.  I would question the very mind who raises such an absurd question. It shows a profound lack of knowledge about Islam. One can not even juxtapose the word terrorism next to Islam, both are contradictory terms. In true Islam, Terror Does Not Exist” in Islam killing a human is an act that is equal in gravity to unbelief. No person can kill a human being. No one can touch an innocent person, even in times of war. There is no such thing as Muslim Terrorist; a terrorist can not be a Muslim; a Muslim can not be a terrorist. Islamic criterion can not justify or permit suicide attacks. Islam, always, in all circumstances approbates peace. The Qur’an regards human life as being exalted and inviolate. Islam consider murder as one the gravest sins and as a capital crime. In Islam even in war fare there are rules to be observed; even trees and vegetation, crops have rights, and non – combatant innocent people can not be killed. Women and children are protected. Islam regards suicide attackers as heinous murders

 The Qur’an says that killing one innocent person is the same as killing all people. If someone kills another person - unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth - it is as if he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another person, it is as if he had given life to all mankind. The instructions came to them with Clear Signs but even after that many of them committed outrages in the earth. (Q. 5:32)

In this Quranic verse, Muslim morality is explained:

To be one of those who believe and urge each other to steadfastness and urge each other to compassion. Those are the Companions of the Right. (Q: 17-18)

As we see in this verse, one of the most important moral precepts that God has sent down to mankind so they may receive salvation and mercy and attain Paradise, is to "urge each other to compassion".

Islam as described in the Qur'an is a modern, enlightened, progressive religion. A Muslim is above all a person of peace; he is tolerant with a democratic spirit, cultured, enlightened, honest, and knowledgeable about art and science and civilizations.

A Muslim educated in the fine moral teaching of the Qur'an, approaches everyone with the love that Islam expects. He shows respect for every idea and he values art and aesthetics. He is conciliatory in the face of every event, diminishing tension and restoring amity. In societies composed of individuals such as this, there has to be refined higher civilization, a higher social morality, more joy, happiness, justice, security, abundance and blessings than in the most modern nations of the world today.
