Critique

Some Islamic scholars say that it is wrong to kill innocent people.[2] Some Islamic terrorist groups are Al-Qaeda, Taliban, and the Islamic State. However, there are hundreds of such groups and many more terrorist attacks alleged to be linked to those groups.

However, it is stated in the Qur'an that "You must not go too far; Allah loves not those who do."[3]"You must resist them until the persecution is done away, and prayers are only to Allah; if they cease fighting, you must not invade anyone but the unrighteous."[4] Islamic terrorists use these verses as their justification to commit acts of terror against non-Muslims as well as Muslims from other branches of Islam.[dubious ]
