Islam and violence

Islam's doctrines and texts have in some cases been interpreted as advocating violence. This article deals with the juxtaposition in Islamic law and theology of violence and non-violence by groups and individuals. Islam teaches that fighting is the correct reaction to defend oneself or one's nation. Mainstream Islamic law stipulates detailed regulations for the use of violence, including the use of violence within the family or household, the use of corporal or capital punishment, as well as how and when to wage war.Research continues on the Quran, but the beliefs of Muslims around the world and further related data is also emerging. For instance, the majority of Muslim political leaders and organizations have flatly condemned the attacks of September 11, included the leaders of Egypt (Hosni Mubarak), the Palestinian Authority (Yasser Arafat), Libya (Muammar Gaddafi), Syria (Bashar al-Assad), Iran (Mohamed Khatami) and Pakistan (Pervez Musharraf) among others. Early Gallup Poll data suggested that 6.5% of Muslims worldwide thought the 9/11 attacks were mostly justified, while 55.4% thought the attacks were not justified at all. More recently, the Pew Research Center's 2013 poll showed that the majority of Muslims in most Muslim countries oppose terrorism.
