Who are the real terrorists?


Who are the real terrorists?

Muslims are being labeled as terrorists 

all around the world, especially those 

fighting for freedom in Kashmir

PalestineAfghanistan and Iraq.

I wonder what you would do if someone 

were to break into your house to rape 

your mother, sister, wife and daughter 

and then kill your entire family? Would 

you sit like a coward and let them do 

everything or fight back at least to try 

to save your family?

I wonder why we don’t see innocent 

men, women and children dying every 

single day in Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iraq 

and Palestine and if they fight back to 

protect their land and families, they are 

simply labeled as terrorists.

If Muslims in KashmirAfghanistanIraq 

and Palestine are given a uniform to 

wear and then fight, will they become 

righteous? May be this way the fight will 

turn into a war between two nations 

instead of “war against terrorism”.

I am not saying all Muslims are 100% 

right and fully practice the teachings of 

Islam… but tell me which country or 

religion doesn't have black sheep? The 

fact of the matter is, Islam doesn’t 

promote terrorism and Islam does 

promote peace.

If your teacher or parent tells you not 

go out in cold uncovered because you 

will get sick, but you don’t care and still 

go out… whose fault is it? Is it your fault 

or your parent’s fault? You are a mature 

person, of course it is your fault.


Under the similar context, if some 

people call themselves Muslims and 

don’t care about practicing what Islam 

preaches, whose fault is it then? Why 

and how does it make Islam dangerous 

and all Muslims terrorists?

Should we punish those who commit the 

crime or should we attempt to wipe out 

an entire city via carpet bombing, not 

caring about innocent people and just 

assuming that some terrorists might be 

there? (As witnessed in Afghanistan – 

and no one talked about the lives of 

innocent civilians / people who died and 

are still dying there as well as in other 

parts of the world)

How correct is this practice?

Bombing Muslim countries and killing 

innocent Muslim families clearly show 

that it’s not Muslims who are terrorists, 

they are the victims of cruel terrorism 

instead.

This is probably a never-ending debate 

and I am not here to convince anyone. 

What Islam teaches me is that if you kill 

one innocent person, it means you kill 

the entire humanity. Everyone has a 

right to live, and live peacefully.

Islam is a religion of peace, but this fact 

can only be understood by those who 

take the time out to sincerely study the 

beautiful teachings of Islam and don’t 

believe in the propaganda being spread 

by the enemies of Islam.
