The best way of understanding a religion is to study its divine source. So for knowing that Islam is a religion of peace of terror, we should study the Quran as the most important Islamic divine source.
The Quran revealed to people as a guide to the true path and God commands man to adopt good morals. This morality is based upon concepts such as love, compassion, tolerance and mercy. The word "Islam" is derived from the word meaning "peace" in Arabic. Islam is a religion revealed to mankind with the intention of presenting a peaceful life through which the infinite compassion and mercy of God manifest on earth. God calls all people to Islamic morals through which compassion, mercy, peace and tolerance can be experienced all over the world. In Chapter 2 verse 208, God addresses believers as follows:
"O You who believe! Enter absolutely into peace (Islam).Do not follow in the Footsteps of Satan. Hi is an outright enemy to you."
As the verse makes clear, security can only be ensured by entering into Islam, that is living by the values of the Quran. The values of the Quran hold a Muslim responsible for treating all people, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, kindly and justly, protecting the needy and the innocent and preventing the dissemination of mischief. Mischief comprises all forms of anarchy and terror that remove security, comfort and peace. As God say in Chapter 2, verse 205: "God does not love corruption."
Murdering a person for no reason is one of the most obvious examples of mischief, and Quran do not let Muslims do that because God in Chapter 5, verse 32, revealed to Jews in the Old Testament thus:
"…If someone kills another person it is as if he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another person, it is as if he had gives life to all mankind."
In Chapter 42, verse 42, God mention that the cruel people will be punished: "There are only grounds against those who wrong people and act as tyrants in the earth without any right to do so. Such people will have a painful punishment."
So all these reveal that organizing acts of terror against innocent people is utterly against Islam and it is unlikely that any Muslim could ever commit Such crimes. On the contrary, Muslims are responsible for stopping these people, removing mischief on earth and bringing peace and security to all people all over the world. Islam con not be reconciled with terror. Just the contrary, it should be the solution to and the path to the prevention of terror.
