Allah+ but i! it complies then make peace between them with ,ustice and be !air( !or Allah lo"es those who are !air )and ,ust* )-.(.* now this doesn/t sound like the people we accuse o! hurting our country because it/s not ,ust because some ones Islamic and belie"es in the Koran doesn/t mean that there going to hurt people$ Islam condemns all unlaw!ul killings# 0e!erring to the !irst murder o! Abel by his brother 1ain 2uran says$ 3or this 4e en,oined upon the 1hildren o!
