 History of the
terrorist

• The history of terrorists and terrorist organizations dates back

centuries before. The first terrorist group in history can be rooted in
the Sicarii (Modern Hebrew: ‫ סיקריים‬siqariyim) were a splinter group
of the Jewish Zealots who, in the decades preceding Jerusalem's
destruction in 70 CE, strongly opposed the Roman occupation of
Judea and attempted to expel them and their sympathizers from the
area. The Sicarii carried or small daggers, concealed in their cloak At
public gatherings, they pulled out these daggers to attack Romans and
alleged Roman sympathizers alike, blending into the crowd after the
deed to escape detection.

Are muslim really the
terrorist?
Therefore, We ordained for the Children of Israel that he who slays a soul unless it be (in
punishment) for murder or for spreading mischief on earth shall be as if he had slain all
mankind; and he who saves a life shall be as if he had given life to all mankind. ( AL Quran
5:32)

This verse is clearly against the killing of a man and even encourages to saving life of other
human beings. Hadith is considered the 2nd source of guidelines for Muslim and in hadith it is
encouraged for peace and tranquility

"You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love each
other. Shall I show you something that, if you did, you would love each other? Spread peace
among yourselves." (Sahih Muslim)

Islam never was in support or favor of killing and terrorism but a religion of peace and
