Harming Civilians in the Name of Islam or Quran

  
We are living at a time when killing civilians in different parts of the world in the name of Islam and Quran is becoming regular news, much to my regret.  These events are a major cause of embarrassment to all Muslims worldwide although Islam and Quran can never be considered a cause related. 

I believe harming civilians of any faith or of any race is a despicable act of terrorism and a heinous crime no matter whether it is done by suicide bombing, hostage taking or direct shooting.

God has frequently clarified in Quran that even his messenger has no duty but to pass on the message and notify the people of the truth and nothing more.  It is therefore, only upon every human to individually decide on their faith and their fate.   

The message of Quran is nothing but to love God and his creation including other humans. I hope the true spirit of Quran -love and light- will increasingly shine through our heart which is evidently filled with baseless biases and personal interests.
