Islam is against Terrorism & Extremism

Tafsīr ibn Kathir Surah al-Maidah Ayah 32:
it would be as if he killed all mankind. .) means, "Whoever kills one soul that Allah has forbidden killing, is just like he who kills all mankind.'' Sa`id bin Jubayr said, "He who allows himself to shed the blood of a Muslim, is like he who allows shedding the blood of all people. He who forbids shedding the blood of one Muslim, is like he who forbids shedding the blood of all people.'' In addition, Ibn Jurayj said that Al-A`raj said that Mujahid commented on the Ayah,
﴿فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعاً﴾
(it would be as if he killed all mankind,) "He who kills a believing soul intentionally, Allah makes the Fire of Hell his abode, He will become angry with him, and curse him, and has prepared a tremendous punishment for him, equal to if he had killed all people, his punishment will still be the same.''

‎الشيخ العثيمين
‎اشتغل أنت بعيوبك وطهر نفسك منها بقدر المستطاع، وعليك بخاصة نفسك، لأن الإنسان الذي يشتغل بعيوب الناس سوف يتعب. ⁧‫ ‬⁩

Sh al-Uthaymīn:
Focus on your shortcomings and purify your heart from them as much as you can, and upon you is to work on yourself, because the person who busies himself with the shortcomings of the people will become tired.
