prejudices . But before talking about Islam and terrorism, consider it necessary to look carefully at the two in order to establish whether or not there is a link between Islam and terrorism, precisely to bring light to these prejudices. The underlying issue is that of an exlusive interpretation beyond the context of sacred texts, a problem that can arise at any other religion in the world (including Christianity ) and which can lead directly to legitimate violence by religious principles. The exegesis of the sacred texts often affirmed the old principle: “Any text drawn from the context is a pretext” which led to the legitimation of war and terror. But the Quran, to the extent that it is not interpreted unilaterally, does not support terrorism in any way, but on the contrary, we find fundamental principles of human rights, tolerance and good cohabitation.
The main directions that directly contradict terrorism based on distorted ideas of Islam are central to the importance of human life, the Quran stating clearly and concisely on many occasions : “… do not kill anyone unjustly, for Allah has stopped you, and He commands them, You may understand!” ; or ‘the one who kills an innocent soul of killing another soul or of another corruption on earth is as if it were killing all people’ . These exemplars consistent with many other similar verses assert assertively and clearly the right to life of every human being, as well as the condemnation of those who suppress such a right. As regards the ethics of war or jihad, the Quran and other Islamic norms tend to bend the balance in spite of an inner struggle of the believer, which tends to perfection, than the outward struggle by the army.
However, like other religions, Islam promotes self-defense, the principle of resistance to oppression and, last but not least, the fight against tyranny (‘And what is it with you not to fight in the way of Allah and for the men and women and the poor children who say, Lord, take us out of this city with wicked generations, and give us from us a protector and give us On Your part a help’ ). Another fundamental principle of Islamic belief that directly contradicts violent and terrorist practices refers to tolerance to the spiritual beliefs of others. It is important to note that the Quran in particular does not indicate violence as the main persuasive element for accepting Islam, the holy writings affirm ‘There is no force to believe! Rebellion is the difference between the right path and the wanderer, and the one who escapes from Taghut and believes in Alah to get the most durable toot that will never bre
