Does Allah really want Muslims to kill his creation on His behalf?

Killing is a universal phenomenon. In every age and society, people have killed each other for multiple reasons.  Anger, hatred, jealousy, rancor, animosity,  malice greed, voracity, avidity, and uncontrollable egos are some of the reasons for actions resulting in the killing of humans. But killing in the name of God is something that does not make any sense, even though His name has always been invoked in killing His creation. It is the most profane idea that has always existed in human history.
According to a conservative estimate, some 295, 349, 000 human beings have been killed by people involving all religions. The following are estimates of some of the documented killings in our history

• The Crusades: 6,000,000, Thirty Years War: 11,500,000, French Wars of Religion: 4,000,000, Second Sudanese Civil War: 2,000,000, Lebanese Civil War: 250,000, Muslim Conquests of India: 80,000,000, C0ongolese Genocide (King Leopold II): 13,000,000, Armenian Genocide: 1,500,000, Rwandan Genocide: 800,000, Eighty Years' War: 1,000,000, Nigerian Civil War: 1,000,000, Great Peasants' Revolt: 250,000, First Sudanese Civil War: 1,000,000, Jewish Diaspora (Not Including the Holocaust): 1,000,000m, The Holocaust (Jewish and Homosexual Deaths): 6,500,000, Terrorism Since 2000: 150,000, Iraq War: 1500,000, US Western Expansion (Justified by "Manifest Destiny"):20,000,000, Atlantic Slave Trade (Justified by Christianity): 14,000,000, Aztec Human Sacrifice: 80,000, AIDS deaths in Africa largely due to opposition to condoms: 30,000,000, Spanish Inquisition: 50,000. In these estimates, not included are the killings that occurred in India in caste wars or invasions or the killing orchestrated by communist regimes in China and Russia or the colonial powers. 

In these killings, the zealots of religious communities invoke the name of God and convince themselves that they are acting on His behalf of and killing humans to please Him. They shout his name while slaughtering people. They seek his blessings before starting the killing and they thank Him after shedding the blood. It does not matter to them whether those killed were innocents or guilty. All they say that God has given them the approval to take the lives of as many deviant people as they can. Some make this judgment on the basis of the reading of their scriptures, some on the basis of dreams in which they see God, or some on the basis of voices they heard from sources claiming to be a god.

If God is keen on getting His own creation killed, why does he wait a religious group to act on His behalf? Why does he allow all religious groups to indulge in killing each other in His name? The crusaders were killing in the name of God and Muslims fighting against them were also invoking the name of God.

The purpose of religion was not to prepare human beings as bloodthirsty soldiers. It was not to kill others due to hatred, anger, greed, or jealousy. The purpose was to overcome such tendencies in one's behavior and kill the instinct to take revenge and kill others. 

God is not a bloodthirsty being that rejoices the killings of His own creation at the hands of the same creation without directly revealing himself to either killers or the killed why they have gone through the ordeal.  

If those who claimed to be messengers of God and the recipient of the divine guidance, were involved in wars, they were forced to do so to save innocent lives as they and their communities were attacked and were on the verge of annihilation by the enemies. Even in such situations, they are asked not to exceed the limits or commit excesses.

Thus the idea of a bloodthirsty God is not part of the divine guidance. God is compassionate and merciful. His mercy is prevalent everywhere. To use His name to promote violence and terror is against his guidance. He is the life-giver. He is not a psychopath who rejoices the killing of people at slightest deviations. He forgives people for their wrongs and mistakes. He enables them to overcome their weaknesses by turning to Him. His doors are open always and He reminds people that no one should ever feel hopeless.

Those who kill in his name, in fact, reject His mercy and forgiveness. They do not understand the meaning of dedicating to God. They do not comprehend the concept of compassion.  In fact, they act like God by dictating who lives and who dies.

Every religious community has experienced this behavior on the part of some of its adherents who are often instigated by a religious leadership that want to control masses for its own benefit.

In the Muslim community, many religious clerics have reached to the level of insanity in declaring them as the deputy of God on earth to determine the life and death of people. They are the ones who whisper like Satan in the minds of innocent people that God would be pleased if they kill people who are perceived as His enemies.  The irony is that none of these clerics would ever dare indulge in personal violence because they know the consequences for themselves and their families. They prefer others to die for God.

They have made a mockery of religion and God and they must be stopped. Only when religious leadership rededicate itself to the sanctity of human life even for those who revolt against God, we can counter terrorism and violence in a meaningful manner. It is not just the duty of Muslims but of every human being to reject violence in the name of God.
