ISLAM IS AGAINST TERRORISM CRIMES & VIOLENCE

Islam is viewed by some non Muslims as a belief that promotes terrorism , violence & aggression , because of violent actions perpetrated by an extremely minor number of muslims who claim doing their acts in the name of Islam .. All the religions other than Islam has also been severely exploited & abused throughout history to serve unfair personal & political interests in the name of religion . Millions of Christians & humans through history were killed & butchered under the name of Jesus Christ & the blessings of combating churches, cardinals & kings in mideavel Europe , despite that Jesus Christ is a symbol & paragon to mercy ,be loving & forgiveness. So as Christianity & Jesus Christ can not be held responsible or smeared for massacres done under the name of bible & the cross , also Islam cannot not be smeared for violent actions or crimes perpetrated under name of Islam .

Islam strictly prohibits, condemns & punishes any act of aggression , or terrorism crime , moreover Islam greatly encourages & rewards saving lives. In Islam, recompense is strictly confined to a penalty equal & equivalent to the crime committed , moreover the victim is encouraged to forgive the wrong doer & the victim will be rewarded by GOD so let us see how Islam prohibits & combats terrorism as revealed in Quran the muslim holy book, see below
