In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful:
Inconsistent messages from Muslim leadership have created increased risk of extremism and radicalization. The True Islam Campaign aims to provide all Americans with a clear way to distinguish true Islam from extremism and to unify Muslim Americans on the correct understanding of Islam as Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught. To this end, 11 points have been selected as key tenets of true Islam which differentiates it from extremism. One is that true Islam rejects all acts of terrorism. The Holy Quran forbids Muslims from creating disorder in the world. It commands, "Do not go about committing iniquity in the earth and causing disorder." (29:37).
The Holy Quran recognizes the sanctity of all human life: "Whosoever killed a person ... it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and whoso saved a life, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind." (5:33)
True Islam recognizes that no justification exists for terrorism against any individual, government or nation--for any reason. Therefore, the actions of extremists and terrorists ascribing to Islam are in absolute contravention to Islamic teachings. The Holy Prophet Muhammad rejected all types of terrorism in the name of Islam, even while Muslims faced 12 years of vehement persecution in Mecca. He did not allow any violent response. Instead, the Holy Prophet Muhammad ordered his followers to migrate to another land. This act was in exact accordance with the Holy Quran's teachings. True Islam champions a bloodless intellectual "jihad of the pen," part of one's continuing jihad to acquire knowledge.
