QURAN DOESN’T ENCOURAGE MUSLIMS TO TERRORISM or VIOLENCE or to KILL DISBELIEVERS

Peace on those who wish for Peace. Guidance to those who wish otherwise.

Sometime back I received a list of verses from the Quran alleging that they propagate terrorism. I list them out here one by one in these series of articles with a hope of presenting the correct explanation and context of those verses. I openly state that my aim is to defend the Quran, truth as the truth and falsehood as falsehood.

Live a life of truth my dear brothers and sisters of the world. There is no harm in letting your life be driven by logic, reasoning and intellect driven by truth and cordiality. But there is great harm in letting your life be driven by ego, dogmatic views and false stereotypes. I am not asking you to change your religion. But I will certainly ask you to change your opinion on Islam because here is a Muslim who says Islam means peace and only a Muslim can truly know Islam just like how only a Christian can truly know Christianity or a Jew know Judaism.

Skim through the following articles which explain the meanings of the following verses of Quran which are usually quoted out of context or out of mischief and label Islam in a bad way. You be the Judge yourselves.
