"Islam, the religion of tolerance, holds the human soul in high esteem, and considers
the attack against innocent human beings a grave sin, this is backed by the Qur'anic
verse which reads:
"Who so ever kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the
earth, it shall be as if he has killed all mankind, and who so ever saves the life
of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind," (Quran: Al-Ma'dah:32).
The All Dulles Area Muslim Society states clearly that those who commit acts of
terror, murder and cruelty in the name of Islam are not only destroying innocent
lives, but are also betraying the values of the faith they claim to represent. No
injustice done to Muslims can ever justify the massacre of innocent people, and
no act of terror will ever serve the cause of Islam. We repudiate and dissociate
ourselves from any Muslim group or individual who commits such brutal and un-Islamic
acts. We refuse to allow our faith to be held hostage by the criminal actions of
a tiny minority acting outside the teachings of both the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him.
"As it states in the Quran: 'Oh you who believe, stand up firmly for justice, as
witnesses to God, even if it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin,
and whether it be against rich or poor; for God can best protect both. Do not follow
any passion, lest you not be just. And if you distort or decline to do justice,
verily God is well-acquainted with all that you do.'" (Quran 4:135)
