Terrorism
Sanctified
[Emphasis added.]3:151. We shall cast terror into the
hearts of those who disbelieve,
because they joined others in worship with Allâh, for which He had sent
no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of
the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers).
Commanded
8:12. (Remember) when your Lord
inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who
have believed. I
will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so
strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes."
8:57. So if you gain the mastery
over them in war, punish
them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that
they may learn a lesson.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
So if you gain the mastery over them in war), if you defeat them and have victory over them in war,
(then disperse those who are behind them,) by severely punishing ﴿the captured people﴾ according to Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Ad-Dahhak, As-Suddi, `Ata' Al-Khurasani and Ibn `Uyaynah. This Ayah commands punishing them harshly and inflicting casualties on them. This way, other enemies, Arabs and non-Arabs, will be afraid and take a lesson from their end, (so that they may learn a lesson. ) As-Suddi commented, "They might be careful not to break treaties, so that they do not meet the same end.''

8:60. And make ready against them
all you can of power, including
steeds of war (tanks, planes, missiles, artillery, etc.) to threaten the enemy of Allâh
and your enemy, and others besides whom, you may not know but whom
Allâh does know. And whatever you shall spend in the Cause of Allâh
shall be repaid unto you, and you shall not be treated unjustly.
Ibn Kathir : to threaten), or to strike fear
Ibn Kathir : to threaten), or to strike fear
At first glance, 8.57 & 60 may appear innocent. Muslims are commanded to give harsh treatment to defeated victims to tach a lesson to those behind them. That means terrify those they intend to attack next. Ibn Kathir adds "will be afraid.
Muslims are commanded to maximize military power to threaten intended victims. Ibn Kathir adds "to strike fear". That is a clue for you. Ibn Ishaq, Moe's biographer, has another clue for you found on page 326 of Guillaume's The Life Of Muhammad.

The
Life of Muhammad
Then God mentions the unbelievers and what they will meet when they die, and describes them, and tells His prophet about them until He says: 'If you come upon them in war, deal with them so forcibly as to terrify those who follow them, haply they may take warning/ i.e. make a severe example of them to those that come after, that haply they may understand. 'And prepare what strength you can against them, and cavalry by which. you may strike terror into the enemy of God and your enemy' as far as His words, 'And whatever you spend in the way of God will be repaid to you: you will not be wronged,' i.e. you will not lose your reward with God in the next life and a rapid recompense in this world.

Terrorism Rewarded
Allah awards Brownie Points for acts of terrorism intended to injure or enrage us. On Judgment Day, the Muslim will stand before Allah, who will weigh his sins against his righteous good deeds. The swing of the balance will decide his eternal destiny.Acts to instill terror are credited to the terrorist as righteous good deeds.
9:120.
It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the
neighbourhood to remain behind Allâh's Messenger (Muhammad
when
fighting in Allâh's Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer
their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst
nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allâh,
nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict
any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of
righteousness. Surely, Allâh wastes not the reward of the
Muhsinûn

Terrorism practiced
Allah cast terror and Moe was made victorious with terror! Note the allusion to 8.57 in the last sentence of 59.2.!33:26. And those of the people of
the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allâh brought them
down from their forts
and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of
them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.
59:2.
He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the
Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Banî An-Nadîr) from their
homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get
out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from
Allâh! But Allâh's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they
expected it not, and He
cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed
their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the
believers. Then
take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).
Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

Islamic Law
Turn back to 8.6o and take note of the phrase "including steeds of war". Islamic law has another clue for you. Hedaya, the fiqh of the Hanafi madhab, tells us the purpose keeping steeds of war. It's terror, Stupid! On pages 175 & 176 of the second volume, there is a discussion of allocation of shares of plunder. The horseman gets a share for his horse, it makes no difference how many horses he has or what breed, Persian or Arabian. The text is barely legible and ocr fails. I highlighted the pertinent sections. |
| Hedaya 2.175 |
Now read the last paragraph on page 176 for another clue. The act of setting out on a ghazwa inflicts terror on the infidels!
 |
| Hedaya 2.176 |
Every Muslim must be an object of fear to infidels because he is likely to attack them. Hedaya spills the beans in a discussion of which Muslims are authorized to issue writs of protection. Once again, I have highlighted pertinent parts.

| Hedaya 2.157 |
Strategy
"The Quranic Concept Of War" a strategy manual used by the army of Pakistan, describes terror on page 59.Terror
struck into the hearts of the enemies is not
only a means, it is
the end in itself. Once a condition of terror
into the opponent's
heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be achieved.
It is
the point where the means and the end meet and merge; it is the
decision we wish to impose upon him.
Who will get a clue? Read the highlighted clauses over and over until reality sinks in.
