One must take a look at the various principles of Islam to know that indiscriminate violence and terrorism are forbidden to any muslims. Islam is a religion which promotes peace and mercy to mankind. “God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves those who are just.” (Al Mumtahinah 60:8)
Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, only that particular person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam. Lets us take an example, in a vehicle accident, it is logical to assume that the driver involved is the one that is responsible for his actions. It would be senseless to blame the vehicle or every single driver on earth for the one guy. With the same principle arguments, how then can one blame the whole religion for any terrorist act on the basis of a few misguided and ignorant ones?
The fact remains however, that even if the terrorists have Muslim identities, the terror they perpetrated cannot be labeled "Islamic terror", just as it would not be called "Jewish terror" if the perpetrators were Jews or "Christian terror" if they were Christians. We need to keep in mind that, among those who were killed in every terrorist attack, there were people who were Muslims.
“If anyone kills a person - unless it is in retaliation for murder or for causing great mischief in the land - it would be as if he had murdered all of mankind. And if anyone saved another person life, it would be as if he had saved the whole of mankind”. (Al-Ma'idah 5:32)
Islam specifically mentioned that the killing of one innocent equals to slaughtering all of humanity. And not only that, according to the Quran, it is a great sin to kill an innocent person, and anyone who does so will suffer great torment in the Hereafter. In fact, it is mentioned in the Quran, murdering any innocent person is one of the three most heinous crimes and the punishment for it in the Day of Judgment will be double! Thus, any sane religious person who has fear of God with a sincere heart can never commit such an act of terrorism.
Thus to understand any religion, one must see its principles and teachings!
O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. The noblest of you in the sight of god is the best in conduct. God is Knower, Aware. (Hujurat 49:13)
Cooperate with one another for virtue and heedfulness, and do not cooperate with one another for the purpose of vice and aggression (Maidah 5:2)
Islam is the solution to fight terrorism. And Islam condemn terror in all kinds of form.
