All well and good as far as it goes, but I find your reasoning troubling. Are we to understand that if you were to lose your faith, you would be a terrorist? Similarly, suppose that - at some point -you, without losing faith in the Quran as a whole, you were to come to a different interpretation of the verses mentioned. Would you then be opposed to terrorism? If your faith is the sole reason you reject terrorism, then it is my sincerest wish the you remain steadfast and unchanging in your religious views.
Personally, I reject terrorism because I been a victim of it and I've seen far too many innocents butchered for political gain.
