Who are the real terrorists?
Muslims are being labeled as terrorists
all around the world, especially those
fighting for freedom in Kashmir,
Palestine, Afghanistan 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 Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iraq
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.
