Islam Is not a religion of violence and terror.

Pro: "How does the new years celeberation have anything to do with islam? yes some of these people came from areas where islam is prevalent but how does their actions which anyone regardless of religion who are weather demented or criminals could have done." Because no other group does it. Excerpt from article- -"A female Islamic professor has claimed that Allah has allowed Muslim men to rape non-Muslim women in order to 'humiliate' them, report stated." "Suad Saleh, who is a professor from the renowned Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, made the claims during an interview to a TV channel." zeenews.india.com/news/world/allah-allows-muslims-to-rape-non-muslim-women-in-order-to-humiliate-them-claims-islamic-professor_1846312.html * Pro "And surah 4:19 clearly prohibits the use of force against women such as this." As opposed to this? (4:34) “Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that Allah has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for Allah’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. If they then obey you, look not for any way against them; Allah is All-high, All-great.” * Pro: "These are shia concepts and are not accepted by modern sunnis. These concepts are not backed by the quran." Pro is using deceptive wording in his rebuttal. The Quran is not the only literature Muslims go by in their faith.(Sunna, hadith) Taqiya is also permitted in Sunni Islam under certain circumstances. The basic principle of taqiya is agreed upon by the Sunni scholars, but they tend to restrict it to dealing with infidels and/or when they are under compulsion (ikrah). In Sunni jurisprudence protecting one's belief during extreme or exigent circumstances is called idtirar, which translates to "being forced" or "being coerced", and this word is not specific to concealing the faith; for example, under the jurisprudence of idtirar one is allowed to consume prohibited food to avoid starving to death. Additionally, denying one's faith under duress is "only at most permitted and not under all circumstances obligatory". "If any one is compelled and professes unbelief with his tongue, while his heart contradicts him, in order to escape his enemies, no blame falls on him, because God takes his servants as their hearts believe." In Hadith, in the Sunni commentary of Sahih al-Bukhari, known as the Fath al-Bari, it is written that there is a consensus that whoever is forced into apostasy and then chooses death has a greater reward than a person who takes the approval to deny one's faith under duress, but if a person is being forced to eat pork or drink wine, things not halal, then they should do that instead of choosing death. After the end of the Reconquista of the Iberian Peninsula in 1492, Muslims were persecuted by the Catholic Monarchs and forced to convert to Christianity or face expulsion. The idea of taqiya became very important for Muslims during the Inquisition in 16th century Spain because it allowed them to "convert" to Christianity while staying as unspoken Muslims, practicing Islam in secret. In 1504, Ubayd Allah al-Wahrani, a Maliki mufti in Oran, issued a fatwa allowing Muslims to make extensive use of concealment so they could maintain their Muslim faith. * Pro: "Why when someone who is a muslim does something everyone has to assume it has something to do with thei religion?" It depends what is done. If it's a nude clown offering children candy in an alley, no one assumes Islam. If its tahhurush gamea, it's Islam. If it's a suicide bomber, it's Islam. Why? No one else ever does it. There were 452 suicide bombings in 2015. Guess how many were non-Muslims... http://www.mrctv.org...
