Submitters Perspective, August 2004

Terrorism has no basis in religion, argues a guest opinion reprinted from The Arizona Daily Star, citing Quran 6:151 and 5:32 and defining Islam as submission to God alone, open to the righteous of every faith. Other pieces compare religious practice, the contact prayer, Zakat and fasting, to an athlete's training, and condemn dividing the religion into Sunni and Shia sects instead of studying the Quran oneself.
