Terrorism
The Free Muslims Coalition believes that there can NEVER be a justification for terrorism.
The Coalition believes that fundamentalist Islamic terror represents one of the most lethal threats to the stability of the civilized world. The existence of Islamic terrorists is the existence of threats to democracy. There is no room for terrorism in the modern world and the United States should take a no-tolerance stance on terrorism in order to avoid another tragedy, along the lines of 9-11. With the added threat of biochemical weapons, the call to defeat terrorism has never been so urgent.
Among Islamic scholars, the concept of jihad ranges in definition from the personal struggle against temptation to holy war. All calls for jihad to create an Islamic state should be rejected as heretic and a threat to modern society. The Coalition feels that the concept of jihad should be reinterpreted for a modern day context in which holy war is obsolete. No holy war needs to be waged; there is no clear and present threat to Islam; the only war that needs to be waged in the modern world is one against terrorists and extremists. As militant Islamic fundamentalism increases, the Coalition will wage a battle of minds as we bring Islam into the 21st century and introduce a doctrine which is compatible with democracy and modern living.
So far, the few Muslims who choose to speak up against militant extremist Islam have faced threats of violence and accusations of being anti-Islam. Even members of this Coalition face threats as they carry out their work. In effect, the message disseminated by radical Muslims is that merely discussing Islamic terrorism is to be construed as an attack on Islam.
If you agree that Islam is AGAINST terrorism post your oppinion below.
This is because on 1 may 2010 there was a terroristic attack planned in the USA at the NY Time Square by terrorist Faisal Shahzad. (kind of old news, but he keeps saying violence is justified, always)

Assalamu alaikum,
I quote: "...The Coalition feels that the concept of jihad should be reinterpreted for a modern day context in which holy war is obsolete..."
Maha'Allah to your coalition! What don't you tell us what does 'modern day context mean'? Does it mean that SHAYTAN has grown friendy to the sons of Adam (s)? Insah'Allah, the biggest Holy war ever is yet to come. That is ARMAGEDON or al malhamatu alkubra that will take place between truth and falshood or Haqq and batil. It will be lead by The Mahdi (s) and s. Aissa (s) from the Haqq side and the anti-christ or the dajal from the batil side.
The salafi so-called mudjahideen are in the dajal's side, no more, no less.
One fact to be noted though, in the absence of a legitimate khalifa of Islam, yes, no war can be waged in the name of Islam. The last Khalifa who held this authority was the Ottoman Sutan Abdulhamid Khan (r). The falg of the Holy Prophet (sws) is in Istanbul waiting for The Mahdi (s) to put up again.
We ask Allah (swt) to speed up the arrival of the Mahdi and Aissa (peace be upon them both) to wipe out tyranny from the face of the earth.
