do we stop creating terrorists? |

In 1985, President Ronald Reagan received a
group of beardedmen. These bearded men I was writing about in those days in The
New Yorker, actually did. They were very ferocious-looking bearded men with
turbans looking like they came from another century. President Reagan received
them in the White House. After receiving them he spoke to the press. He pointed
towards them, I'm sure some of you will recall that moment, and said,
"These are the moral equivalent of America's founding fathers". These
were the Afghan Mujahiddin. They were at the time, guns in hand, battling the
Evil Empire. They were the moral equivalent of our founding fathers!
In August 1998, another American President ordered missile strikes from the
American navy based in the Indian Ocean to kill Osama Bin Laden and his men in
the camps in Afghanistan. I do not wish to embarrass you with the reminder that
Mr. Bin Laden, whom fifteen American missiles were fired to hit in Afghanistan,
was only a few years ago the moral equivalent of George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson! He got angry over the fact that he has been demoted from 'Moral
Equivalent' of your 'Founding Fathers'. So he is taking out his anger in
different ways. I'll come back to that subject more seriously in a moment.

| War and Peace in the Quran |
|
The Islamic relationship between individuals and
nations is one of peace. War is a contingency that becomes necessary at certain
times and under certain conditions. Muslims learn from the Qur'an that God's
objective in creating the human race in different communities was that they
should relate to each other peacefully (Quran 49:13).
The objective of forming the family unit is to foster affection mercy, and that
of creating a baby in its mother's womb is to form bonds of blood and marriage
between people:
It is He who created the human being from fluid, making relationships of
blood and marriage. Quran 25:54
Sowing enmity and hatred amongst people is the work of Satan:
Satan wishes to sow enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants and
gambling. Quran 5:91
Division into warring factions is viewed as a punishment that God brings on
people who revert to polytheism after He has delivered them from distress:
...He able to divide you into discordant factions and make you taste the
might of each other... Quran 6:65
War is hateful (2:216), and the changing of fear into a sense of safety is one
of the rewards for those who believe and do good deeds (Quran 24:55). That God
has given them the sanctuary of Mecca is a blessing for which its people should
he thankful (Quran 29:67).Paradise is the Land of Peace - Dar al-Salam -
Quran 6:127).

I found a religion that blended scientific reason with spiritual reality in a unifying faith far removed from the headlines of violence, destruction and terrorism.
