Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen: There is no place for terrorism in Islam

Fethullah Gulen:

Terror incidents in Pakistan, Brussels, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Bangladesh and elsewhere.. this shamefulness and cowardice are committed on the account of being a Muslim, yet there is no place for terrorism in Islam; these are devilish acts.

The attacks of Boko Haram, al-Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS and al-Nusra, wherever people are being killed unjustly, it is forbidden to attack innocents even in the state of war.

This savagery and murder cannot be tolerated by any religion nor anyone whose conscience has yet to die.

Terror is wretched, no matter which shape it comes in!..
