Islam is struggling and the meaning of terrorism in dictionaries is violence and or any control that is attained by
force or by inculcating fear or by giving threats. Now can you consider jihad and terrorism as having same
meaning,Iguessnot.
The religion of Islam reminds its believers again and again that if they would indulge in terrorism and violence
they would have to bear the loss of the love of Allah and His blessings. Islam strongly forbids Muslims from
becoming terrorists Islam promotes high moral values and inculcates the values of love, justice, equality and
peace.
