I felt that what he had to say was and still is  very important, especially in light of what has been happening lately, hopefully we will all be benefited from it.  Sheikh  Yusuf Al-Qaradawi Condemns Attacks Against Civilians: Forbidden in  IslamDOHA, Qatar, Sept 13 (IslamOnline  & News Agencies) - Renowned Muslim scholar Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi  denounced the attacks against civilians in the U.S. Tuesday and  encouraged Muslims to donate blood to the victims of the attack.In  response to the bloody attack against civilians in the U.S., Sheikh  Yusuf issued a statement Wednesday saying that:"Our  hearts bleed for the attacks that has targeted the World Trade Center  [WTC], as well as other institutions in the United States despite our  strong oppositions to the American biased policy towardsIsrael  on the military, political and economic fronts."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," (Al-Ma'dah:32).<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" />  "The  Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is reported to have said, 'A  believer remains within the scope of his religion as long as he doesn't  kill another person illegally'," the prominent scholarsaid.He  added that haphazard killing where the rough is taken with the smooth  and where innocents are killed along with wrongdoers is totally  forbidden in Islam. No one, as far as Islam is concerned, isheld responsible for another's actions. Upon  seeing a woman killed in the battlefield, the Prophet, peace and  blessings be upon him, denied the act and said: "That woman shouldn't  have been killed anyway!"Even in times of  war, Muslims are not allowed to kill anybody save the one who is  indulged in face-to-face confrontation with them. They are not allowed  to kill women, old persons, children, or even a monk in his religious  seclusion.Qaradawi then asserted that is  why killing hundreds of helpless civilians who have nothing to do with the decision-making process and are striving  hard to earn their daily bread, such as the victims of the latest  explosions in America, is a heinous crime in Islam. The Prophet, peace  and blessings be upon him, is reported to have stated that a woman was  qualified to enter Hell because of the cat she locked up to death."If  such is the ruling applied in protecting animals, no doubt, aggression  against human beings, a fortiori, deserves greater protection, for human  beings are honored by Allah Almighty and are His vicegerents on earth,"  he added. Al Qaradawi said, "we Arab  Muslims are the most affected by the grave consequences of hostile attack on man and life. We share the suffering experienced by innocent  Palestinians at the hands of the tyrannical Jewish entity who raze the  Palestinian homes to the ground, set fire to their tilth, kill them  cold-bloodedly, and leave innocent orphans wailing behind."With  this in mind, the daily life in Palestine has become a permanent  memorial gathering. When Palestinians face such unjust aggression, they  tend to stem bloodletting and destruction and notto  claim the lives of innocent civilians.""I categorically go against a committed Muslim's embarking on such attacks.  Islam never allows a Muslim to kill the innocent and the helpless."If  such attacks were carried out by a Muslim - as some biased groups claim  - then we, in the name of our religion, deny the act and incriminate  the perpetrator. We do confirm that the aggressor deserves the deterrent  punishment irrespective of his religion, race or gender," he added."What  we warn against, even if becomes a reality, is to hold a whole nation  accountable for a crime carried out by a limited number of people or to  characterize a certain religion as a faith giving support to violence  and terrorism," Qaradawi said.Qaradawi clarified that when the  well-known Oklahoma incident was carried out by a Christian American,  who was driven by a personal interests, Christianity, America or even  the Christian world, were not accused of the attack because a Christian  masterminded it."I have been asked several  questions on TV programs and on public lectures about the martyr  operations outside the Palestinian territories, and I always answer that  I do agree with those who do not allow such martyr operations to be  carried out outside the Palestinian territories."Instead  we should concentrate on facing the occupying enemy directly. It is not  permissible, as far as Islam is concerned, to shift confrontation  outside the Palestinian territories. This is backed by the Qur'anic  verse that reads: "Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight  against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loves not,  aggressors," the renowned Muslim scholar concluded.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
