A Muslim's view of the Afghan war by Ajmal MasroorThe Muslim community is very clear about the Islamic position on any attack on innocent civilians, buildings and mass destruction. In the Qur'an (the Divine scripture revealed to prophet Muhammad peace be on him) we find God saying: "On that account We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one kills a person - unless if be for murder or for spreading mischief on earth - it would be as if he killed all humankind; and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all humankind. Yet, although there came to them Our messengers with clear teachings, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land." (Chapter 5: verse 32)
