The answer is very simple, ask yourself this question: “Do Islamic terrorists follow the Quran’s
foundation (fundamentalists), or not (radical)?
These Quran scriptures (Sura) can provide the inquisitive truth seeker with a basic idea of whether
Islamic terrorists should be defined as fundamentalists (follow the spirit of the Quran) or
radical (do not follow the spirit of the Quran): Sura 4:89, 5:33, 8:12-14, 9:5, 9:14, and 9:29. You
decide!
Sura 9:29 states:
The bible prophesied (predicted) this Muslims and Non-Muslims antagonistic behavior
provoked by the Muslims. “The Arabs”, the descendants of Ishmael (Ishmaelites), son of
Abraham are cousins of the Jewish people since Ishmael is the half-brother of Isaac (father of
Jacob whose birth name was changed by God to Israel):
“[Abraham] this son of yours [Ishmael] will be a wild man, as untamed as a wild donkey!
He will raise his fist against everyone, and everyone will be against him. Yes, he will live
in open hostility against all his relatives” – Genesis 16:12
Note: “The people of the Scriptures” are “The Jews” and “The Christians”. Muslims do not believe that
Jesus is God and therefore “The People of the Scriptures” are Polytheists. The Mormon and the Jehovah
Witnesses do also deny the deity of Jesus Christ and the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).

“They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So
do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah.
But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you
find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” Quran
Sura 4:89.
“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His
Messenger [Mohamed] and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none
but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off
from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a
disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,”
Quran Sura 5:33.

“And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists*
wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait
for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer,
and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful.” Quran Sura 9:5.
*“The people of the Scriptures are “The Jews” and “The Christians”.

room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"
says the Lord.” Bible Romans 12:19.
