Another phrase that Muslims routinely utter when confronted with the proposition that Islam somehow condones violence and terror is that "Islam condemns the killing of innocent people."
Qu'ran 5:32:
“…if any one slew a person [...] it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people.”
Well, that's all very nice and on the surface would seem to be a commendable sentiment. After all, who would condone the killing of innocent people? That would be barbaric, would it not? One forms a mental picture of innocent men, women and children, going about their daily business, without a malicious thought in their heads, when - BOOM!!! - a terrorist bomb tears the life out of them. Barbaric, yes?
Well, actually, no. As far as Islam is concerned, NO non-Muslim is innocent. By the very act of existing, non-Muslims constitute the most grave insult to Allah by their refusal to acknowledge him as the supreme deity. Therefore they must be punished. Allah himself has decreed that non-believers will roast in Hell. So by playing a part in sending them there, Muslims earn themselselves more of those brownie points that earn them a place in Paradise.
Don't take MY word for it.Devout Muslims will confirm this. Indeed, Anjem Choudary, the leader of Hizb-ut-Tahrir in the UK, has stated as much. So the next time you hear that Islam condemns the killing of innocents, remember - There is no such thing as an innocent non-Muslim.
