Islam & Terrorism: The Connection

Islam & Terrorism: The Connection

Elected officials, clerics and other self anointed experts frequently assure us that "Islam has nothing
to do with terrorism.". They are liars and I can prove it! They have malignant maundery, I have
relevant, verifiable probative evidence.

Allah's Word
Allah will cast terror!
3:151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because
they joined others in worship with Allh, for which He had sent no authority; their
abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zlimn (polytheists and
wrongdoers).
8:12. (Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so
keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those
who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their
fingers and toes."

Allah cast terror!

33:26. And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the
disbelievers) Allh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into
their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them)
you made captives.
59:2. He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the
Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Ban An-Nadr) from their homes at
the first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they
thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allh! But Allh's
(Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He
cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings
with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take
admonition, O you with eyes (to see).
Allah Commanded Terror!
8:57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them
severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they
may learn a lesson.
8:60. And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds
of war (tanks, planes, missiles, artillery, etc.) to threaten the enemy of
Allh and your enemy, and others besides whom, you may not know but
whom Allh does know. And whatever you shall spend in the Cause of
Allh shall be repaid unto you, and you shall not be treated unjustly.

Misinterpretation?
Where is the terror in those commands? Two translations say terror. Three translations say strike fear.
The verb used is fasharrid, meaning disperse. In 8.60, the operative word is tur'hibna, meaning to
terrify. How did Moe's earliest biographer interpret those verses?

Terrify!

Strike Terror!

Moe & his army were a greater terror to the Jews!

59:13. Verily, you (believers in the Oneness of Allh - Islmic Monotheism)
 are more awful as a fear in their (Jews of Ban An-Nadr) breasts than
Allh. That is because they are a people who comprehend not (the
Majesty and Power of Allh).
The Arabic word is rahbatan , meaning fear.
But 13 of the 51 parallel translations, including that of Yusuf Ali at Islam Awakened
translate it as terror.

Allah Rewards Terrorists!

Yes, he awards Brownie Points for steps taken to injure or enrage infidels!!! If that does not fit the
definition of terrorism, what does?! Such works are recorded to the terrorist's credit as righteous good
deeds to be weighed against his sins on Judgment Day.
9:120. It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins
of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allh's Messenger (Muhammad
when fighting in Allh's Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer
their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor
fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allh, nor they take any step to raise
the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is
written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allh wastes
not the reward of the Muhsinn
Tafsir Ibn Kathir (nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers), by strategies
of war that would terrify their enemy,(nor inflict), a defeat on the enemy, (but is written to
their credit) as compensation for these steps that are not under their control, but a consequence
of performing good deeds that earn them tremendous rewards,

made victorious with terror

Shari'ah
Abdullah Azzam quoted a jurist ruling that an expedition must be sent out to terrorize infidels in
every year.

Objects of Fear
Hedaya, the fiqh of the Hanafi madhab, declares that every Muslim must be an object of fear to
infidels because he is likely to attack them.

I have assembled the most relevant ayat, ahadith & exegesis together with relevant fiqh to establish
the nexus between Islam & Islamic terrorism. How do you hope to prove me wrong? Give it a try in
the comments if you have probative evidence.
