Now about islam as the source of terrorism...hmm? What about c.i.a (jews,americans,british) sponsored war in the middle east? Would you consider it as part of terrorism or not?
Islam condemns terrorism. Nowhere in the scripture of muslims can you find verses that encourages terrorism.
Cruel religion? Nope its not. Let me show you a verse...you see in islam non-combatants are not allowed to be killed. But take a look at this verse im sure you're familiar where it comes from...
Leviticus 26:28-29
28 then in my anger i will be hostile toward you, and i myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. 29 you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.
judges 11:30-40
in this nice little story, jephthah has made a vow to god saying; "if you give the ammonites into my hands, 31 whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when i return in triumph from the ammonites will be the lord's, and i will sacrifice it as a burnt offering." and who comes out to greet him? His only daughter.
1 samuel 15:2-3
2 this is what the lord almighty says: 'i will punish the amalekites for what they did to israel when they waylaid them as they came up from egypt. 3 now go, attack the amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' "
hosea 13:16
16 the people of samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their god. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open."
check your religion first mr. saint before you take on other religion.
