DR. OKTAR BABUNA ON LIVE INTERVIEW BY MATT BRUCE ON CAPTAIN'S AMERICA SHOW (November 18, 2009)

Q: Why is the concept of Islamic terror considered an error?

The term is a contradiction because Islam is a religion defined by peace, tolerance, and mercy. It explicitly forbids the killing of innocent people, stating in the Quran that murdering one person is equivalent to killing all of mankind.

Q: What is the relationship between Darwinism and terrorism?

Darwinism is described as an ideology of conflict that claims humans are merely animals in a constant struggle for survival. This worldview encourages aggression toward others and serves as the philosophical foundation that leads to violence, anarchism, and terror.

Q: How can the cycle of terrorism be effectively eradicated?

Eradication requires an intellectual struggle against the materialist and Darwinist ideologies taught in schools. By removing these philosophies of conflict from education and providing true moral guidance, the underlying causes of anarchism and violence can be eliminated.

Q: What is the Islamic stance on war?

War is permitted only in cases of defense when life, family, or property are under direct threat. Even during such times, there are strict limits, and it is strictly forbidden to go beyond these boundaries or harm innocent individuals.
