Why I'm not a terrorist

[WinterHold]

Atlas, you are pointing to the same book as the reason for your non-terrorism as the one used by actual terrorists as the basis for their actions. This simple contradiction means that the book isn't the root cause but your own morality is with which you read and interpret it.

What I wrote to Minimalist; Magi:

Justification for actions like terrorism and other brutal crimes (like stoning and killing of gays) is always a syndrome that accompanies the same people that use a certain method to dodge the verses: joining the Hadith books with the Quran. That's how they reach the "other conclusions" you mentioned.

The only way to reach the other conclusion, is to use the Hadith.

Bin Laden is a Sunni : he believes in Hadith.
Khomeini is a Shiite : he believes in Hadith.
The Sauds are Sunnies: they believe in Hadith.
Hezbollah is Shiite: they believe in Hadith.

The list goes on. All terrorists are either Sunni or Shiite.
The Hadith gives you the chance to recite a verse like the above; then say "BUT; the Hadith also said that infedels should be killed; even if peaceful".

With the Quran; it's the blue part only: there is no "BUT".
There is no red part.

I have certainly noticed that people on this forum tend to repeatedly misunderstand the point Atlass attempts to make.

I see it this way:

1-A terrorist comes to you
2-The terrorist say he's a Muslim
3-You tell him "But Sura 8, Verse 61" says otherwise.
4-Case closed: the terrorist is checkmate. If he fires a single bullet at you; he is actually rebelling against his own holy book.
