These are some of the things which create a misunderstanding of Islam in the minds of Muslims and non-Muslims. But the truth is that terrorism, suicide bombing, and flying airplanes into a building, and all the people who do those stupid things, do NOT represent Islam. These acts of violence are contradictory to the teachings of Islam. There is nothing in the Quran that tells us to strap ourselves with bombs and kill innocent cilivians. All the extremist groups think that this is what is meant by Jihad according to the Quran, but this is a serious misunderstanding because a Jihad is only permissible when we are being threatened or attacked by the enemies of Islam and when we have to defend ourselves.

I was defending it but I don't support it either (i.e death punishments for apostasy), nor do I hate it, because the punishments in Hell could be even more dangerous than that.

Back on topic, I saw the BBC report on youtube and I'm not surprised by this at all.
Its just one of the many attempts by the media to degrade Islam in the eyes of the Britons and especially because so many people are converting to Islam. But surely the truth will come out after more investigation. Also, remember that the media is not always going to promote everything that is 100% reliable and trustworthy. We know that editing a program is a big part of sensationalism.
Also, why didn't the journalists ask anything to the students? Why didn't the program show a single comment from any of the students, as a witness, to prove that they were actually being taught to cut off the hands of criminals? The journalists were only talking to people with beautiful beards on their face, but they didn't interview any of the students. What's the reason for that?
