How To Kill a Starfish?

[Ankesh]

Thanks Michael.

Heard today: The place in Mumbai where Muslim dead bodies are burried denied to take the terrorist dead bodies. "These terrorists are not true Muslims."

Is there anything in the Quran or the Sunnah that says killing innocent people is bad? Something that - if repeated enough times - will discourage people from becoming terrorists?

My thought is... have you seen the movie Armageddon? Ok movie. But one thing from that movie stuck with me.

When the asteroid is shooting towards Earth - the solution is not to blow it up by nuking it from outside. But it is to dig in and place a nuke in the center.

The solution to the Muslim terrorists can't come from you or me. It has to come from within Islam itself.

We need to use Islamic words from Islamic Holy texts to have any effect.
