Answer 2

"Jihad" is a loaded term—and a concept that illustrates a deep gulf of miscommunication between Islam and the West. There are those in each community who see jihad as a clash of civilizations—and act on those beliefs. But jihad literally means "exerted effort" to most Islamic scholars and Muslims, and represents a range of activities.

Answer 6

How does the Ahmadiyya community view terrorism ?


This is what I have so far:
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the leading Islamic organization to categorically reject terrorism in any form. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the foremost Islamic organization with a central spiritual leader.

Answer 7

"As far as Islam is concerned, it categorically rejects and condemns every form of terrorism. It does not provide any cover or justification for any act of violence, be it committed by an individual, a group or a government..... I most strongly condemn all acts and forms of terrorism because it is my deeply rooted belief that not only Islam but also no true religion, whatever its name, can sanction violence and bloodshed of innocent men, women and children in the name of God."

-Ahmadiyya community

This is a good source, as it comes directly from the Ahmadiyya community
