As we have so far seen, Darwinism is at the root of various ideologies
of violence that have spelled disaster to mankind in the 20th century.
The fundamental concept behind this understanding and method is
"fighting whoever is not one of us."

We can explain this in the following way: There are different beliefs,
worldviews and philosophies in the world. It is very natural that all
these diverse ideas have traits opposing one another. However, these
different stances can look at each other in one of two ways:

1) They can respect the existence of those who are not like them and
try to establish dialogue with them, employing a humane method.
Indeed, this method conforms with the morality of the Qur'an.

2) They can choose to fight others, and to try to secure an advantage
by damaging them, in other words, to behave like a wild animal. This
is a method employed by materialism, that is, irreligion.

The horror we call terrorism is nothing other than a statement of the
second view.

When we consider the difference between these two approaches, we can
see that the idea of "man as a fighting animal" which Darwinism has
subconsciously imposed on people is particularly influential.
Individuals and groups who choose the way of conflict may never have
heard of Darwinism and the principles of that ideology. But at the end
of the day they agree with a view whose philosophical basis rests on
Darwinism. What leads them to believe in the rightness of this view is
such Darwinism-based slogans as "In this world, the strong survive",
"Big fish swallow little ones", "War is a virtue", and "Man advances
by waging war". Take Darwinism away, and these are nothing but empty
slogans.

Actually, when Darwinism is taken away, no philosophy of 'conflict'
remains. The three divine religions that most people in the world
believe in, Islam, Christianity and Judaism, all oppose violence. All
three religions wish to bring peace and harmony to the world, and
oppose innocent people being killed and suffering cruelty and torture.
Conflict and violence violate the morality that God has set out for
man, and are abnormal and unwanted concepts. However, Darwinism sees
and portrays conflict and violence as natural, justified and correct
concepts that have to exist.

For this reason, if some people commit terrorism using the concepts
and symbols of Islam, Christianity or Judaism in the name of those
religions, you can be sure that those people are not Muslims,
Christians or Jews. They are real Social Darwinists. They hide under a
cloak of religion, but they are not genuine believers. Even if they
claim to be serving religion, they are actually enemies of religion
and of believers. That is because they are ruthlessly committing a
crime that religion forbids, and in such a way as to blacken religion
in peoples' eyes.

For this reason, the root of the terrorism that plagues our planet is
not any of the divine religions, but in atheism, and the expression of
atheism in our times: "Darwinism" and "materialism."

ISLAM IS NOT THE SOURCE OF TERRORISM, BUT ITS SOLUTION

Some people who say they are acting in the name of religion may
misunderstand their religion or practice it wrongly. For that reason,
it would be wrong to form ideas about that religion by taking these
people as an example. The best way to understand a religion is to
study its divine source.

The holy source of Islam is the Qur'an; and the model of morality in
the Qur'an-Islam-is completely different from the image of it formed
in the minds of some westerners. The Qur'an is based on the concepts
of morality, love, compassion, mercy, humility, sacrifice, tolerance
and peace, and a Muslim who lives by that morality in its true sense
will be most polite, considerate, tolerant, trustworthy and
accomodating. He will spread love, respect, harmony and the joy of
living all around him.

Islam is a Religion of Peace and Well-Being

The word Islam is derived from the word meaning "peace" in Arabic.
Islam is a religion revealed to mankind with the intention of
presenting a peacable life through which the infinite compassion and
mercy of God manifest on earth. God calls all people to Islamic morals
through through which mercy, compassion, tolerance and peace can be
experienced all over the world. In Surat al-Baqara verse 208, God
addresses the believers as follows:

You who believe! Enter absolutely into peace (Ýslam). Do not follow in
the footsteps of Satan. He is an outright enemy to you.

As the verse makes clear, security can only be ensured by 'entering
into Islam', that is, living by the values of the Qur'an.

God Has Condemned Wickedness

God has commanded people to avoid committing evil; He has forbidden
disbelief, immorality, rebellion, cruelty, aggressiveness, murder and
bloodshed. He describes those who fail to obey this command as
"following in Satan's footsteps" and adopting a posture that is openly
revealed to be sinful in the Qur'an. A few of the many verses on this
matter in the Qur'an read:

But as for those who break God's contract after it has been agreed
and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and cause corruption in
the earth, the curse will be upon them. They will have the Evil Abode.
(Surat ar-Ra'd: 25)

Seek the abode of the hereafter with what God has given you,
without forgetting your portion of the world. And do good as God has
been good to you. And do not seek to cause mischief on earth. God does
not love mischief makers.' (Surat al-Qasas: 77)

As we can see, God has forbidden every kind of mischievous acts in the
religion of Islam including terrorism and violence, and condemned
those who commit such deeds. A Muslim lends beauty to the world and
improves it.

Islam Defends Tolerance and Freedom of Speech

Ýslam is a religion which provides and guarantees freedom of ideas,
thought and life. It has issued commands to prevent and forbid
tension, disputes, slander and even negative thinking among people.

In the same way that it is determinedly opposed to terrorism and all
acts of violence, it has also forbidden even the slightest ideological
pressure to be put on them:

There is no compulsion in religion. Right guidance has become
clearly distinct from error. Anyone who rejects false gods and
believes in God has grasped the Firmest Handhold, which will never
give way. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (Surat al-Baqara: 256)

So remind, you need only to remind. You cannot compel them to
believe. (Surat al-Ghashiyah: 22)

Forcing people to believe in a religion or to adopt its forms of
belief is completely contrary to the essence and spirit of Islam.
According to Ýslam, true faith is only possible with free will and
freedom of conscience. Of course, Muslims can advise and encourage
each other about the features of Qur'anic morality, but they will
never resort to compulsion, nor any kind of physical or psychological
pressure. Neither will they use any worldly privilege to turn someone
towards religion.

Let us imagine a completely opposite model of society. For example, a
world in which people are forced by law to practice religion. Such a
model of society is completely contrary to Ýslam because faith and
worship are only of any value when they are directed to God by the
free will of the individual. If a system imposes belief and worship on
people, then they will become religious only out of fear of that
system. From the religious point of view, what really counts is that
religion should be lived for God's good pleasure in an environment
where peopls' consciences are totally free.

God Has Made the Killing of Innocent People Unlawful

According to the Qur'an, one of the greatest sins is to kill a human
being who has committed no fault.

...If someone kills another person - unless it is in retaliation
for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth - it is as if
he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another
person, it is as if he had given life to all mankind. Our Messengers
came to them with Clear Signs but even after that many of them
committed outrages in the earth. (Surat al-Ma'ida: 32)

Those who do not call on any other deity together with God and do
not kill anyone God has made inviolate, except with the right to do
so, and do not fornicate; anyone who does that will receive an evil
punishment. (Surat al-Furqan: 68)

As the verses suggest, a person who kills innocent people for no
reason is threatened with a great torment. God has revealed that
killing even a single person is as evil as murdering all mankind. A
person who observes God's limits can do no harm to a single human, let
alone massacre thousands of innocent people. Those who assume that
they can avoid justice and thus punishment in this world will never
succeed, for they will have to give an account of their deeds in the
presence of God. That is why believers, who know that they will give
an account of their deeds after death, are very meticulous to observe
God's limits.

God Commands Believers to be Compassionate
and Merciful

Islamic morality is described in the Qur’an as:

...To be one of those who believe and urge each other to
steadfastness and urge each other to compassion. Those are the
Companions of the Right. (Surat al-Balad: 17-18)

As we have seen in this verse, one of the most important moral
precepts that God has sent down to His servants so that they may
receive salvation and mercy and attain Paradise, is to "urge each
other to compassion".

Ýslam as described in the Qur'an is a modern, enlightened, progressive
religion. A Muslim is above all a person of peace; he is tolerant with
a democratic spirit, cultured, enlightened, honest, knowledgeable
about art and science and civilized.

A Muslim educated in the fine moral teaching of the Qur'an, approaches
everyone with the love that Ýslam expects. He shows respect for every
idea and he values art and aesthetics. He is conciliatory in the face
of every event, diminishing tension and restoring amity. In societies
composed of individuals such as this, there will be a more developed
civilization, a higher social morality, more joy, happiness, justice,
security, abundance and blessings than in the most modern nations of
the world today.

God Has Commanded Tolerance and Forgivenes

The concept of forgiveness and tolerance, described in the words,
'Make allowences for people' (Surat al-A'raf: 199), is one of the most
fundamental tenets of Islam.

When we look at the history of Ýslam, the way that Muslims have
translated this important feature of Qur'anic morality into the life
of society can be seen quite clearly. Muslims have always brought with
them an atmosphere of freedom and tolerance and destroyed unlawful
practices wherever they have gone. They have enabled people whose
religions, languages and cultures are completely different from one
another to live together in peace and harmony under one roof, and
provided peace and harmony for its own members. One of the most
important reasons for the centuries-long existence of the Ottoman
Empire, which spread over an enormous region, was the atmosphere of
tolerance and understanding that Ýslam brought with it. Muslims, who
have been known for their tolerant and loving natures for centuries,
have always been the most compassionate and just of people. Within
this multi-national structure, all ethnic groups have been free to
live according to their own religions, and their own rules.

True tolerance can only bring peace and well-being to the world when
implemented along the lines set out in the Qur'an. Attention is drawn
to this fact in a verse which reads:

A good action and a bad action are not the same. Repel the bad
with something better and, if there is enmity between you and someone
else, he will be like a bosom friend. (Surat al-Fussilat: 34)

Conclusion

All of this shows that the morality that Ýslam recommends to mankind
brings to the world the virtues of peace, harmony and justice. The
barbarism known as terrorism, that is so preoccupying the world at
present, is the work of ignorant and fanatical people, completely
estranged fromQur'anic morality, and who have absolutely nothing to do
with religion. The solution to these people and groups who try to
carry out their savagery under the mask of religion is the teaching of
true Qur'anic morality. In other words, Islam and Qur'anic morality
are solutions to the scourge of terrorism, not supporters of it.
