A Real Simple Solution to End Islam Terrorism in the World?
Steve Chapman
Steve Chapman’s column in the Chicago Tribune on June 19, 2016 was titled, Imaginary Solutions for Mass Shootings. He spouted his opinion about what politicians are promoting to prevent terrorism and ended with this statement.
“But they fixate on imaginary solutions because nobody has a real one.”
Yet there is a solution that every politician will not state because they either never spent time to read up on Islam, or may lack the courage to confront what I will state as my opinion.
King Solomon
A fouled spring, a polluted well, a righteous man who cannot withstand a wicked man. (Proverb 25:26)
The spring that is fouled as a consequence of having been trampled over by animals, and on one that has been polluted by unspecified cause, so that it is useless for drinking or cooking. To befoul a water-hole on a track across a desert is one unforgivable sin among the Bedouin. The image in both cases is that of a wasted asset. What should have been a perennial source of living water, and so a fountainhead of vitality and abundance, has been made unproductive and even noxious. (Excerpt Proverbs Mc Kane)
In My Opinion
Think of the Koran as being a spring of water to refresh the hearts and souls of followers of the Islam religion. Then think of the terrorist leaders who are using the Koran to inspire followers to Jihad. Many believers of Islam disagree with the terrorists. In other words, the fountainhead of vitality and abundance has been made unproductive and definitely noxious.
War is unproductive. Noxious because the majority of Islam terrorists believe, or are being brainwashed, that if they join a jihad and die, they will go to a heaven.
Simple Solution
The simple solution I propose is for all Imams to get together and change the Koran to state that anyone who kills an innocent in a jihad will not be rewarded by Allah. Actually the Koran already states it is wrong to kill innocents.
Jihad and Shari Law
As for USA Islamist terrorists and Imams who promote Jihad and Shari Law, the USA Constitution grants the rights for everyone to choose their religion. However, the Constitution does not grant any religious follower of any religion to kill a human regardless of any religious doctrine.
Steve Chapman’s column gave a number of political proposed remedies, but not this one which to me is what really needs to be addressed and included as a solution to end Islamist terrorism.
You Decide
Should our politicians should be stating this openly and not be fearful of being politically correct?
Warning
However, when anyone speaks about Islam anywhere in the world, they need to be aware of the possible penalties of blasphemy that is still being enforced in Modern Muslim countries.

Your “simple solution ” will never happen and you know it. Sad but true.

You analogy holds true, but it is a bit mixed up. The Koran never was a spring of water to refresh the hearts and souls of followers of the Islam religion. Mohamed started the Jihad against the enemies of Islam. His was a warring religion from the start.
Sit down and read the Koran. What you will see is that Mohamed’s Koran is a knockoff of the Bible, mostly the Old Testament. The Bible is your spring of fresh water.
Apparently, Mohamed knew some Jews, and he decided to use what they taught him to create his own religion. When the Jews rejected his creation, Mohamed started punishing and killing them. Ditto, when Christians rejected Islam. Mohamed It has been that way with Muslims, Christians, and Jews ever since then.
Other religions. The Koran teaches Muslims not tolerate them. When they are in a strong enough position, Muslims give the follows the followers of other religions the choice of death or Islam.

I again chose my analogy based on King Solomon’s statement “not to look back.”
While all your statements about the beginnings of Islam may be true, the Koran is today the “Bible” of over a billion followers of Islam in the world.
In my opinion, if they believe in it, and disregard the jihad portions of the Koran, it could be a new beginning to end killing by Islamist Extreme Terrorists.
King Solomon also stated that no one can predict the future.
I however, surmise the future would be much brighter for the world if all religious leaders could unite and agree that there is no God who give permission to anyone to kill innocents base on a religious belief.
When I play with every one of grandsons with building blocks, I noticed the joy they seemed to get knocking down everything I built.
That is another analogy, I am sharing with you to explain my views of the terrorists and criminals. They think and act like little children who enjoy knocking down all the good moral teachings and foundations built up over the last 3000 years.
Why? Even King Solomon concluded we mortals cannot straighten what God made crooked, but he added to keep on trying by doing “this or that.”
My Opinion again is to stop looking back and try to only “do this or that” to attempt to convince everyone with a religious belief they may have been born into along with the beliefs instilled into them that only God has the right to take back a life that He created.
Yes, we should all learn the history of our religious beliefs so hopefully we do not repeat the same mistakes of the past. I understand the failings of the Popes in the past, but that does not mean that the teachings of Jesus Christ caused the failing. It was the result of human failings and the curse of how power corrupts.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. (1 Corinthians 13)

If they believe in it, they will do what Christians who believe in the Bible are suppose to do. They will believe the whole thing.
From Wikipedia =>
We believe God inspired certain men to write the Bible. Since about 40 men wrote the Bible, we can find more excuses to pick and choose than Muslims. Mohamed wrote the whole thing. If you believe any of it, how can you just throw out parts of it. Well, there is only one way. That’s if a portion that was written at a later date overrules a previously written portion. Whereas the Bible does not do that sort of thing, the Koran does. I think if you read the Koran carefully you will find the exhortations to violence against non-Muslims came later than the admonitions to be peaceful.

That is the same “later date” ipremise which could lead to Imams justifying to delete the jihad verses..
I also believe fundamental Islamists will resist any changes to the Koran.
However, there is a saying that “Allah makes the impossible possible.”
I don’t know the origin, of the saying, but I hope and pray Imans can somehow resolve the verses.
The Koran states it is wrong to kill innocents.If Imams resolve the conflicting verses being used as propaganda for terrorists, perhaps it would end the use by terrorists using the Koran as propaganda to motivate terror.
Similar to ancient Christians Bible verses that were agreed to be deleted and agreed to by Christian Clergy.
I do not believe that most USA politicians have ever taken the time to study the Koran to understand why terrorists are being motivated to commit suicide acts of terrorism.
If they would, perhaps they might be more amenable to the risks of Islam believers to be persuaded by their own religious teaching and used to motivate Muslims to commit act of terrorism.

Technically, the Constitution would allow our government to ban the immigration of Muslims. Frankly, however, I don’t trust our politicians to exercise the wisdom necessary which religions are safe and which are not. So while I think it constitutional I don’t see any advantage in encouraging Trump to go there and ban Islam.
Trump’s immigration order focuses on proper vetting. Is this guy a terrorist or not? That’s enough. Don’t we have enough trouble getting our government officials to properly define a person or an organization as dangerous? Allowing our government officials to discriminate based purely on religious belief just isn’t worth it.
Consider. If somebody is associated with country full of terrorists, an organization of terrorists or has committed terrorist acts, then what we need is verifiable evidence. What someone actually believes, however, is usually quite speculative. At best, we have to depend upon their affirmation (which they don’t have to provide) or a record of words and deed from which we can infer belief. Even so, people can change their beliefs. They can convert.

I concur. The USA government should not become involved in either the Bible or Koran verses.
However, I believe politicians and political supporters should at least have an understanding of why Islamist Terrorists are willingly blowing themselves up in acts of terrorism.
How else can anyone make a risk factor decision without understanding why USA is a risk of Islamic terrorists coming into the USA to blow up innocent Americans?
For example, how many Boston family victims would not support President Trump’s temporary immigration Exucutive Order. Especially at a time that USA military are being engaged in military actions in those countries that refuse to vet travelers before they travel to the USA to prevent attacks to Americans.. If we are attacked, most people, especially victims and victim families will want to respond in kind.
In my opinion, if Imams do not agree that killing innocents in jihad, they should publicly declare and split or schism into sects same as Christians did that engaged in different Christian sects such as Protestant, Orthodox, or Christian., etc.
Any religion that condones killing innocents for religious reasons is not a religion, it is a political movement that threatens USA innocent victims of terrorism.
