Allah's Word
Allah will cast terror!
3:151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because
they joined others in worship with Allh, for which He had sent no authority; their
abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zlimn (polytheists and
wrongdoers).
8:12. (Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so
keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those
who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their
fingers and toes."
Misinterpretation?
Where is the terror in those commands? Two translations say terror. Three translations say strike fear.
The verb used is fasharrid, meaning disperse. In 8.60, the operative word is tur'hibna, meaning to
terrify. How did Moe's earliest biographer interpret those verses?
Terrify!
Strike Terror!

Objects of Fear
Hedaya, the fiqh of the Hanafi madhab, declares that every Muslim must be an object of fear to
infidels because he is likely to attack them.

I have assembled the most relevant ayat, ahadith & exegesis together with relevant fiqh to establish
the nexus between Islam & Islamic terrorism. How do you hope to prove me wrong? Give it a try in
the comments if you have probative evidence.
