About This Quote
The teachings of Islam, based on the holy Qur'an, demand justice for all. They call for a just and moral world, a world in which everyone is treated with compassion and respect. The Qur'an teaches that war is a last resort, a last resort that only comes after diplomacy and peaceful measures have been tried, but have failed.
