Numerous verses of the holy book speak of killing infidels. There is express advice to kill non-Muslims. Terrorists kill to please their god in order to get heaven in afterlife — this is the result of indoctrination of people with an unreformed religion.

Taslima Nasreen tweeted ‘Boycott Islam’. Tell her to ‘boycott Islam’ first. She can’t. She won’t. Her entire career is built on talking about Islam. Chronic Islamophobes can never boycott Islam. Islam is the reason they exist.
