Why are terrorists bringing disrepute to Islam?

SIR— Why do terrorists and murderers use Islam to tarnish the good name of the religion? It scares me to see Koranic verses written on placards and carried by people whose intention is to behead or shoot to kill innocent human beings.

The Arabic language scares me now like Swahili did in the days of Obote 1 and II, and Nubbi in the days of Idi Amin. Is there a way non-Arab Muslims can separate Arabic from Islam? Does our God (we the Muslims) understand only Arabic? If that be so, how could he speak to Adam, Ibrahim and Moses and other prophets who spoke only Hebrew or Aramaic?
We need to think deeply about communicating with God in our own native languages and discard the language which
is increasingly being identified with terror, murder
and suicides.
