According to the FBI, the definition of terrorism is:

This I got off a newsgroup.

"Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property
to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment
thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives."

The religion of Islam fulfills each and every criteria of the above-mentioned
definition of terrorism. The following irrefutable facts and deductive logic
will amply demonstrate this statement. Ever since Islam was founded it has left
behind a legacy of violent atrocities and horrible crimes. The holy book of the
Muslims, the Koran, contains specific instructions on how to loot, pillage,
plunder, rape, torture and murder in order to further the interests of Islam .
It can clearly be called a specific instruction manual of terrorism.

The Holy Koran is full of very unholy and terrorist ambitions, it is obviously
not from God, as the Muslims would have us believe. Any sane individual can see
that it is a journal and collection of a terrorist's criminal activities and
ideas. This terrorist's name is Mohammed (popularly known as the prophet of
Islam). During his lifetime, Mohammed organized at least 86 expeditions against
people who either refused to follow his teachings or simply came in the way of
his power crazed ambitions. He led the life of a serial killer, terrorist and
rapist, who perpetrated genocide throughout Arabia. Along with the pagan Arabs,
many Jews and Christians were victims of this mindless terrorist. Mohammed was
a man who destroyed peace wherever he went, and in its place brought terror,
carnage and death. And he did all this in the name of God! Mohammed has clearly
stated in the Koran that God has instructed him and all pious Muslims to loot,
pillage, plunder, rape, torture and murder innocent human beings, in order to
further the interests of Islam.

I have stated below just a few of the verses from the Koran, which support this
fact. As the Koran is supposed to be timeless and universal, the verses in it
hold true even today and are used everyday by pious Muslims to justify their
brutal and terrorist activities.
1. (Koran 8:12) "Remember Thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I
am with you: give firmness to the believers, I will instill terror into the
hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their
finger tips of them."

In the above verse the great prophet of Islam, Mohammed, is giving step by step
instructions on how to torture and kill the unbelievers if they don't follow
Islam. He is clearly instructing Muslims to commit cold-blooded murder in the
name of religion.

2. (Koran 2:216) "Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you;
but it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you and it may happen
that you love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, you knew not."

The above verse was stated by Mohammed after his first terrorist attack. He and
his followers mercilessly massacred four innocent and unarmed merchants at
Nakhla in 623 AD. The massacre came in January, the sacred month of Rejeb.
Arabs regard this month as a sacred month, when warfare and violence is
forbidden. Since this barbaric criminal act was led and sanctioned by the
"great" prophet Mohammed, we can conclude that Islam's sacred activities
include loot and cold-blooded murder of innocent individuals. The very
beginnings of Islam are stained with the blood of innocents.

By stating the above verse, Mohammed completely absolved himself from all blame
for having murdered innocents. The most insidious and devilish implication of
this verse is that God is completely justifying Mohammed's murder of the
innocent Meccans. The import of this verse is that killing and violence are
JUSTIFIED for Muslims, because they are doing it by divine ordinance! It is a
religious duty of every Muslim to murder anyone who comes in the way of Islam.
Since it is also the duty of every Muslim to ensure that the entire world is
converted to Islam by force if necessary, one must directly conclude that it is
the religious duty of Muslims to kill all those who are non-Muslim. This
conclusion is derived directly from the supreme edict of Allah, who admonishes
that even the Muslim who feels it is wrong to kill, must murder in the name of
Allah, otherwise he is not a true Muslim. Over and above this, Mohammed is
hypocritically implying that warfare is hateful to him, but he participated in
it because God ordained it.

3. (Koran 69:30-37) "It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he hath
made slaughter in the land. You desire the lure of this world and Allah desires
for you the hereafter and Allah is Mighty, Wise.. Now enjoy what you have won
as lawful and good and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is forgiving,
merciful."

This verse is in reference to the prisoners that Mohammed held for ransom after
the battle of Badr. This battle occurred on March 17, 623 AD. This is the month
of Ramadan-another sacred month for the Muslims! In this battle, Mohammed and
his followers killed at least 70 innocent merchants from the Quraysh tribe of
Mecca and slaughtered several hundred soldiers who came forward to defend them.


Here God the "Merciful" is saying that all the non-believers deserve to be
killed! In addition, God is conveniently commenting that whatever loot Mohammed
has plundered is "lawful and good" because it was done in service to God. So
murder, rape, plunder and destruction are all perfectly legal with the Muslim
God as long as they are done in the name of Islam! Mohammed is also insidiously
making himself seem very kind for having spared the lives of the prisoners,
when in fact he only let them live so he could ransom their lives for more
money. In today's world this is called "taking hostages" and defines
"Terrorism" of the worst kind.

4. (Koran 69:30-37) "(It will be said) Take him and fetter him and expose him
to hell fire. And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy
cubits. Lo! he used not to believe in God the tremendous, and urged not on the
feeding of the wretched. Therefore hath he no lover hear this day nor any food
save filth which none but sinners eat."

The above verses from the Koran prove that Muslims are specifically instructed
not to tolerate unbelievers. It directly states that people who do not believe
in Mohammed and the Islamic God are to be tortured and murdered.. Not only does
this verse clearly implicate that unbelievers must be tortured and killed, it
goes on further to state prescribed methods for committing torture. The
horrific acts mentioned above are in practice even today in Islamic countries.
In fact, in India, Muslims tortured the Sikh Gurus and their families exactly
as prescribed by the Koran. For example, the Sikh guru Tegh Bahadur was
imprisoned in a cage like a wild animal, when he refused to forsake his
religion for Islam. Three of his disciples were murdered in front of his eyes.
One of them was Bhai Mati Das. He was sawed alive into little pieces. The other
was wrapped up in cotton and burnt alive. Bhai Dyala, the third one, was boiled
alive in a cauldron. Guru Tegh Bahadur himself was brutally tortured and killed
in a similar fashion. One wonders at the mercy of "The all beneficent Allah"
who enjoys watching the roasted burnt flesh of hapless innocents falling off
their bones.

5. (Koran 5: 33-34) "The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His
messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be
killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet and alternate sides cut off,
or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the
world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom; Save those who repent
before ye overpower them. For know that Allah is forgiving, merciful."

6. (Koran 22: 19-22) "These twain (the believers and the disbelievers) are two
opponents who contend concerning their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve,
garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling fluid will be poured down
their heads. Whereby that which is in their bellies, and their skins too, will
be melted; And for them are hooked rods of iron. Whenever, in their anguish,
they would go forth from thence they are driven back therein and (it is said
unto them): Taste the doom of burning."

7. (Koran 76: 4) "Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers chains, yokes and a
blazing fire."

The above verses clearly state extreme terrorist activities, as they contain
nothing but detailed recipes of horrific torture. Cutting off the hands and
feet of individuals and then making them walk and jump, pouring boiling waters
over their victims, making them drink it, burning them alive, inserting hot
iron rods into their bodies, dismemberment and disembowelment, genital
mutilation etc. are common Islamic practices.
I have mentioned only a few of the verses from the Koran to show that Islam is
nothing but an excuse to legalize terrorism, genocide, massacre and other
criminal activities. Many other verses that demonstrate these specific
qualities, are to be found throughout the Koran . As Muslims worldwide regard
the Koran to be the ultimate holy book, it is followed to the word. Their daily
lives are guided specifically by such passages from the Koran . Moreover, the
terrorist, lecherous and criminal activities described in the Koran are
considered to be the sacred words of God. Is it any wonder that mindless
Muslims all over the world, justify their criminal activities of destruction,
loot, torture, rape and murder by pointing to the Koran? They actually consider
their acts to be holy and believe that for committing such holy acts they will
go to paradise-a paradise where they will have plenty of wine, women and young
boys for their sexual pleasure. (How Mohammed uses bribery in the Koran to
attract mindless human beings is above the scope of this article and will be
described in later ones).

Today, many followers of Islam such as Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, Momar Gaddafi,
Louis Farrakhan, Yasser Arafat, Dawood Ibrahim, Abu Nidal, etc. are famed for
the brutality of their crimes and terrorism. The entire world is marred by
violence and murder, wherever Muslims reside. The entire world is suffering due
to the barbaric activities of Islamic terrorists. Pick up a newspaper today and
you will note that 98% of terrorist activities that occur involve Muslims. I
have named a few of the countries below as examples:
(1) India - Muslims have been terrorizing this country since the 7th century
AD. Muslim regimes throughout India have a record of unparalleled terror and
torture described in gory detail by contemporary Muslim chronicles themselves.
Subjecting all non-Muslims to abject atrocities, plundering their wealth,
abducting their women and usurping their houses of worship to be used as
mosques and tombs, has been considered sacred duty of every Muslim. Such acts
earned for the tormentors the coveted title of Ghazi , to be paraded as a
citation of great Islamic glory and greatness. Aurangzeb, one of the last
Muslim emperors had 10,000 Hindus massacred everyday for an entire year. He
alone was responsible for the massacre of at least 3,650,000 Hindus and
destruction of more than 11,000 Hindu temples. William Durant, author of the
voluminous "Story of Civilization" has described the Muslim conquests in India
as constituting the saddest and goriest chapter in human history. Muslims have
destroyed and looted the whole country and have killed countless innocent
Hindus in the process.

The Muslims forced the violent partition of India into three parts in 1947
(India, West Pakistan and East Pakistan). Even today, they terrorize the
innocent people of India by causing bomb blasts and killing innocent
individuals. Currently, the followers of Islam are concentrating their efforts
in Kashmir, a northern state in India. Kashmir has been the land of the Hindus
since ancient times. The word Kashmir itself is derived from Rishi Kashyap-a
great spiritual leader of Hinduism. The Muslims have destroyed this beautiful
land completely. Today the Pakistan-sponsored Muslim terrorists continue to
kill, torture and rape the innocent Hindus of Kashmir. To cite the most recent
incidents: In a cold-blooded massacre on the night of January 25th 1998, 23
Kashmiri Hindus, including 10 women and four children, were gunned down by a
group of Islamic terrorists from Pakistan in Wandhama, 27 km from Srinagar. On
April 19th Islamic terrorists belonging to the Pakistani Lashkar-e-Tobia
terrorist organization claimed responsibility for gunning down at least 13
Kashmiri Hindus in Prankot village near Mahore in Udhampur district. The
victims included four women and two children. Pakistan's aim is to separate
Kashmir from India and declare it as an Islamic state. I will provide you with
more information on Islamic terrorism in India and Kashmir in a separate
article.

(2) The Assyrian Nation - The horrible crimes committed by Islamic terrorists
against the Assyrian nation is a well documented fact. Between 1980 and 1988
the Iraqi regime exiled thousands of Iraqi citizens to Iran on the charges that
they were of Persian ancestry. Many Assyrians were targeted in this illegal and
barbarous act. During this bloody war, it is estimated that up to 10,000
Assyrian men from Iraq were killed. The most disturbing aspect of this tragedy
is that many of these Assyrians were killed in cold blood by their own Arab
countrymen, just for being Assyrians. On December 13th 1997, a group of
militants belonging to the Kurdish Labour Party (PKK), treacherously attacked
six Assyrians through an ambush laid for them in the district of
Mangeesh-Duhok, Northern Iraq. Two of them were killed immediately and the
others were wounded, then the armed group charged over them and cold-bloodedly
killed the wounded.

Ever since the invasion of their homelands by barbaric Muslims, the Assyrians
have been fighting for their rights. The persecution of Assyrian Christians by
the Islamic terrorists has brought them to the brink of extinction!

(3) Bangladesh - Bangladesh was a part of India before the Muslim terrorists
led by Mohammed Ali Jinnah separated it from India in 1947. It was then called
East Pakistan. Jinnah lied to the thirteen million Hindus, Buddhists and
Christians in East Pakistan and told them that they would not be persecuted
against. He promised that they would be given full freedom under the Islamic
rule. However, these religious minorities-especially the Hindus and the
Buddhists have been tortured, raped and murdered by the pious Muslims ever
since 1947. Over 2.5 million Hindus alone were slaughtered during the
Pakistan-Bangladesh war in 1971. The types of crimes committed were perfectly
in accordance with the Koran. Robert E. Burns, the author of Wrath of Allah
states, "The mutilation was disgusting-eyes gouged out, pregnant women
disemboweled, male genitals cut off, women's breasts cut off….."

The persecution of "unbelievers" in the name of Allah , continues even today in
Bangladesh under the Islamic rule. For example, Taslima Nasreen, the author of
Lajja was given a death sentence for just stating the facts and speaking
against the inhumane, cruel and barbaric nature of Islam.

(4) Egypt - Egypt has been terrorized by Muslims since the time of Umar II (8th
Century AD.). With Umar's raid on Egypt began the destruction of Egypt's
Christians. Their Churches were destroyed, Umar imposed Jizya-a special tax
that was invented by Mohammed , where all the "non-believers" had to pay or
face death. They lost ownership of all their land and had to pay a special land
tax, kharaj, simply in order to use it . They were ridiculed, made to wear
discriminatory clothing and were made to ride on donkeys. Anyone not complying
with the wishes of the Islamic terrorists was tortured to death in absolute
accordance with the Koran. The ongoing Islamic terrorist attacks on innocent
people in Egypt even today prove that Islamic terrorism is alive and kicking in
this country as well. In this country the tourists are special targets of the
Muslim terrorists. Just last year in Cairo, the pious followers of Mohammed
murdered an entire bus load of German tourists. In another incident, Muslim
fundamentalists killed more than 40 tourists near the Pyramids.

The terrorists continue to commit these horrible crimes to achieve their goal
of declaration of Egypt as an Islamic state. An Islamic state is desired by
these terrorists, so that they will be able to commit more such crimes freely.
As per the Koran, they will go to the typical Islamic Paradise for committing
these "holy" acts! Apparently, the most important condition by far, for
entering "Jannat" (Islamic Heaven) is that you must have the blood of
innocents, stained on your hands!

(5) Algeria - Algeria has been under Islamic terrorist attack for quite some
time now. Accurate casualty figures are difficult to acquire, but as many as
50,000 Algerians (militants, security personnel, and civilians) have died as a
result of the nearly four-year-old insurgency. Even the U.S. embassy's
warehouse was the target of Islamic terrorists. They set fire to the warehouse
and threatened to kill the security guard just because he was working for the
United States. The Islamic terrorist organization which carries out most of
these attacks is called GIA (Algerian Armed Islamic Group). The GIA was
responsible for the deaths of 31 foreigners in Algeria in 1995, compared to at
least 64 in 1994. Most of the foreigners killed were "soft targets," such as
teachers and nuns. Cowardly Islamic terrorists, conform to this pattern of
targeting the most vulnerable and helpless segment of the population, in
imitation of Prophet Mohammed's life. From July to October, a terrorist bombing
campaign in France began against civilian targets, killing eight persons and
wounding 160. And such attacks continue on even today in Algeria.

(6) Pakistan - Like East Pakistan (Bangladesh), Pakistan was also founded by
the terrorist leader, Mohammed Ali Jinnah. Ever since its foundation, Pakistan
has sponsored terrorism and Islamic terrorist groups all over the world.
Pakistan's main focus of terrorist activity has always been India. This nation
is obsessed with the downfall of India and will do anything to accomplish this
goal. It has gone to war with India three times in the past and failed
miserably all three times. Pakistan continues to support Islamic terrorist
organizations such as Harakat ul-Ansar (HUA) and Al-Faran. Al-Faran is the
group that claimed responsibility for the kidnapping in Kashmir of two US
citizens, two Britons, a German, and a Norwegian. Other Pakistan-backed groups
have claimed responsibility for numerous bombings in Kashmir, including one
against foreign journalists.

It is a well-known fact today that Pakistan is an Islamic terrorist state. The
mastermind of the World Trade Center bombing hailed from Pakistan. The Islamic
terrorists in Kashmir are trained and supplied by Pakistan. There is even proof
that Pakistan is supporting and helping the Taliban-the barbaric Islamic
organization of Afghanistan.
Many other countries such as Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany, Syria,
Indonesia, Israel, Libya, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Mauritania, Cyprus,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, etc. can be added to the above list.

As we can clearly see Muslims are actively committing acts of terrorism in many
other parts of the world and justifying it by pointing towards the Koran. Even
the West is not untouched anymore. The fact that countries such as the U.K,
U.S.A and France have already experienced Islamic terrorism first hand is a
testament to this. It remains to be seen whether countries such as these will
learn from the past and recognize Islam for what it is-a religious sanction to
legalize barbaric and horrific crimes! I urge each and everyone to read the
Koran, the terrorist's instruction manual, for their own personal safety. It is
necessary to know what you are up against before you can begin to defend
yourself.

This is just a simple introduction to Islamic terrorism. I intend to post more
such articles that contain many more such proofs to show that Islam is nothing
but an excuse to legalize terrorist activities and other such crimes. In order
to realize this, one must first understand that Islam itself was founded for
the sole purpose of terrorizing, subjugating, massacring and torturing
non-Muslims in the name of Allah. Mohammed, the founder of Islam composed the
entire Koran in order to justify his terrorist activities and crimes by false
Divine injunctions.
