On September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center collapsed due to attacks by Al-Qaeda. These were the darkest days for the families and friends of the victims and for Muslims around the world. Al-Qaeda is a militant Islamist group, also known as extremists or terrorists, that calls for global Jihad. Many terrorists may be Muslims, but not all Muslims are terrorists. I am here today to clarify the name of Muslims and know Islam's views on peace, Jihad and terrorism. The very meanings of Islam are peace for humanity and submission to God. “All mankind is as one community” is a glorious verse from the Quran that demonstrates the truth that we should decide our affairs and settle our differences like brothers. We are like a sacred family of lord. We are all sons and daughters of Adam and Eve and are made of clay. No one is made of silver or gold. We must respect each other, because peace is the best policy. Peace is religion and religion is peace. The whole world can become the cradle of happiness if people learn to live sensibly and honestly. In David's psalm, he seeks peace in these words; “I will lie down and lie down in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in security” (4:8). Jesus Christ gave the message of love, peace, tolerance and non-violence. The Gospel of John records the following words of Jesus: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I don't give you what the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid” (14:27). Likewise, the Quran calls for peaceful treaties. In the well-explained chapter, the Quran says: “Answer with what is best, so that whoever there was animosity between you and you, may be like a close friend. And no one should be given that rank except middle of paper...with open arms. So overall, Islam was a religion of peace, is a religion of peace, and will always be a religion of peace.
