Is Islam Affiliated With Terrorism?

Over on Jihad Watch I noticed two posts, made only a few hours apart.

The first was a denial by Palestine's permanent envoy to the United Nations and Ambassador to Austria Zohair Al-Wazir that terrorism is linked to Islam.

"The Palestinian delegation to the forum renewed commitment to the resolution of the Arab League foreign ministers' meeting of March on opposition to all forms of terrorism and all attempts to link this global phenomenon to Islam.

"Islam advocates tolerance, moderation and coexistence," he pointed out.

Islam only advocates tolerance, moderation and coexistence towards other Muslims - and even then only sometimes.

The second article I noted was a Kuwaiti Sheikh encouraging Palestinians to commit acts of terrorism. You can find his anti-Semitic comments on his website.

In a statement posted on an al-Qaeda internet forum, al-Ali unleashed a torrent of anti-Semitic statements, saying, "There is no nation on earth, and in the history of humanity, that is more deceitful, and false and fraudulent... than the Jewish nation."

It is quite clear that the Muslims have one "official" line which they feed to the West, but when we listen to the hate their religious leaders preach we understand the truth to be quite different.
