Imam at Scotland's largest mosque praises extremist killer

The only thing I would like to say is we as the people should draw a bold line between terrorism and Islam. I have been raised by a peaceful muslim family, and I read Turkish translations of the Holy Quran as well. I also follow a series of preachings given by different Islamic scholars that mostly attached to Sunni Islamic World. For sure, first and the foremost muslim community must fight against al-Qaeda and ISIL instead of expecting those Great Powers (NATO members and Russia) to struggle with those terrorist organizations. Unfortunately at that point there is not a great option to fulfill that duty. For instance, Erdoğan administration in Turkey has close links with those terrorist groups. Turkey's president and ruling party (Justice and Development Party, ruling Turkey for almost 14 years) have been financing those terrorist organizations up to 100 different groups including Boko Haram in Nigeria across the world. In fact, last week ISIS's Turkey manager was released without any clear justification.

Without a doubt, those criticisms are partly true that those terrorists originally coming from Muslim community in which it seems as if muslim people fabricate those terrorists. However, that is untrue. We have also peaceful communities in that geography and they are acting as a sort of peace corp. In particular, in Africa KYM (Kimse Yok mu Association) gave a helping hand to thousands of people, and established a series of institutions including schools, hospitals and public soup-kitchens. Sorry to go to out of context, but I just wanted to imply that muslim community across the World was not all about those crack-brained terrorist groups.
