Perspective: No religion would condone terrorist actions

---

In my opinion, these horrible crimes could not have been committed by Muslims. In fact, no one with any true religion would do anything like this. All religions strongly reject the killing of fellow human beings.

I was in Pakistan on Dec. 16 when terrorists killed almost 150 innocent Muslim children in a public school in the city of Peshawar. On Jan. 9, after I came back to Duluth, terrorists killed 17 more people in Paris, two of whom were Muslims. Terrorists in both attacks claimed to commit these murders in the name of Islam, and yet the majority of victims were Muslims.

How can these terrorists justify killing so many innocent people in the name of Islam, which is the religion of peace? In my opinion, these horrible crimes could not have been committed by Muslims. In fact, no one with any true religion would do anything like this. All religions strongly reject the killing of fellow human beings.

The Quran says, “But his evil self-induced him to kill his brother, so he killed him and became one of the losers.” Similarly, the Bible says it plain and clear, “You shall not murder.”

So how could these killers be true Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus or the followers of any religion? They have no religion, and there is only one name for these people: That is “criminals.”
