Terrorism is a logical outcome of putting the Qur'an into practice. The Qur'an promotes permanent struggle against non-Muslims - or at least until non-Muslims are converted to Islam, subjected to Islamic authority, or killed. Below is a listing of relevant verses in the Qur'an:
- The Qur'an promises hell to non-Muslims 3:85, 4:56, 5:37, 5:72, 8:55, 9:28, 15:2, 21:98-100, 22:19-22, 22:56-57, 25:17-19, 25:55, 29:53-55, 31:13, 66:9, 68:10-13, 72:14- 15,
- The Qur'an warns Muslims against mixing with non-Muslims 2:21, 3:28, 3:118, 5:51, 5:144, 9:7, 9:28, 58:23, 60:4.
- The Qur'an calls on Muslims to wage war against non-Muslims 2:191, 2:193, 4:66, 4:84, 5:33, 8:12, 8:15-18, 8:39, 8:59-60, 8:65, 9:2-3, 9:5, 9:14, 9:29, 9:39, 9:73, 9:111, 9:123, 25:52, 37:22-23, 47:4-5, 48:29, 69:30-37.
- The Qur'an promotes war against the non-Muslims by glorifying it 2:216, 9:41, 49:15, or by promising lust in paradise to the Shaheeds (martyrs) who die in such a war 3:142, 3:157-158, 9:20-21.
These citations have painstakingly been linked these citations to the Translations of the Qur'an from the Moslem Students Association of the University of Southern California. Readers may view several translations from translations regarded as reliable by Moslem experts.
Objections:
Islamic Monitor was asked, Why pick on the Qur'an? Why not pick on the Bible? A Muslim accused Islamic Monitor of "one sided blind hatred," which was inevitable, but what piqued my interest was a response from a self-declared pagan who voiced these objections.
To which Islamic Monitor replies:
The Bible shares many of the same vices as the Qur'an. As the Bible predates the Qur'an, the Bible may be seen as the model and inspiration for the violence and hatred in the Qur'an. The violence in the Bible, particularly the Hebrew Bible (or Christian Old Testament) is widely acknowledged, that to mention it scarcely raises an eyebrow. The concept of hellfire is something that the Qur'an borrowed from Christianity (there are only isolated references to "hell" or sheol in the Hebrew Bible), while the sensuous descriptions of Paradise seem to be borrowings from other traditions (Hindu texts describe a heaven populated by apsaras, or celestial courtesans, that may be likened to the houris of the Qur'an, but Hinduism conceives of heaven and hell as within time, space, and causality - in which case heaven and hell will dissolve with the rest of creation). However, Muslims anxious for influence in the West seek to mislead non-Muslims by citing apparently benign passages (notably that bon-bon, verse 2:256, on "no compulsion in religion") in the Qur'an divorced from context . When someone challenges Muslims on the violence and hatred contained in their scriptures (the Hadith as well as the Qur'an), their typical defenses are throwing the issue back at you to justify the Bible or religious texts and getting angry. What we need to decide is if these texts provide human, moral, and spiritual uplift.
Moreover, there is a difference of focus between the Bible and the Qur'an. The Bible presents warfare as history. In the Qur'an, the focus is different. Sincere Muslims believe that God is speaking directly to them through the Qur'an: the "Word inlibriate," to quote from Huston Smith's Religions of the World (formerly Religions of Man). Thus, Allah (God) is exhorting the faithful to commit violence against the non-believer.
