Oxford Muslims condemn suicide bombings
Suicide bombers who kill innocent people in the name of Islam are brainwashed individuals who are misusing the Koran, the Islamic holy book, say Oxford Muslims.
That was the message from the organisers of an open day at Manzil Way mosque, off Cowley Road, on Saturday to explain their faith.
Dr Raghib Ali, one of the organisers, talked to visitors about "Muslimic terrorism" and said: "What these people have been doing has nothing to do with the teachings of Islam and goes completely against what we are doing.
"The Koran says to take an innocent life is one of the greatest sins. These people who go around claiming to kill people in the name of Islam can never be justified. They take a verse of the Koran out of context and apply it to blowing up people on the Underground. They have been brainwashed."
