You might have already read a similar post. But why is Islam a hidden target in the fight against anti-terrorism? I know I’m treading dangerous waters here but I have to get it out of my system. Many people still believe that Islam is a religion of violence. Nothing is farther away from the truth.
Today marks the 6th year since the outrageous attack on the WTC took place. As you will no doubt already know well, this offence to the human race was commited by a ‘muslim’ organisation by the name of Al-Qaeda under the leadership of Osama Bin Laden. But his views are not those of a proper muslim. I should know. I am a muslim. Islam is never a religion of spite and vengence. The Islam I know (and most muslims all over the world follow) is a religion of peace and harmony. It promotes an environment where all people can live in total respect for each other.
The acts of the so-called muslim Osama Bin Laden stems from a religiously fanatic fundamentalism that is rare. A few radical leaders are all that is needed for any religion to commit acts of terror. No religion is free from fundamentalism. Such radical thoughts should be banned from the very roots that it springs from. Attacking a nation on these grounds will only create more of such radical fundamentalist leaders.
I implore each and every reader to realise that just because there are a few rotten tomatoes, we don’t stop eating tomatoes all together. Similarly, just because these so-called ‘muslims’ are rotten, not all muslims are the same. So, next time you see meet a muslim and wonder, “Is he a terrorist?”, please remember that these muslims are also peaceful and caring individuals who wouldn’t even dream of supporting a terrorist act let alone commit one.
Caution: Words Ahead!
