Terrorism

A bomb goes off in a marketplace in Jerusalem. A suicide bomber launches himself into a bus full of women and children in Tel Aviv. Foreign tourists get massacred at a holiday resort in Luxor, Egypt. Villages upon villages get annihilated in Algeria. The list of events worldwide which have come to symbolize the “Islamic Terror” are endless. From the times in the 70’s and 80’s when Pan Am, and TWA airplanes were hijacked, to the mid 80’s in war torn Lebanon where Americans and Europeans would be held as hostages for years, to the bombing of the World Trade Center; all such incidents have come to be identified with the religion Islam. Such incidents from past and present have undoubtedly affected Muslims worldwide. Any Muslim who wants to practice his or her religion and express the desire to live under the banner of Islam is labeled a fundamentalist or extremist. Any Muslim man who walks down a busy street in London or Paris with a beard and a scarf on his head, is looked upon as being a terrorist, who probably has an AK47 stashed somewhere on their body. Muslim women who are veiled can’t go anywhere in the Western world without being taunted as being oppressed or being mad for covering themselves up. However,


The difference with these crimes and the bombing is that no one mentions what religion those people were. The crimes have one essential thing in common, they were done by violent and dangerous people. Their religion is NOT what makes them dangerous and immoral, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam did not sanction their crimes! Religions should not be judged by the crimes its followers commit, but rather by what it tries to teach its people. None of the monotheistic religions teach people to be criminals, yet religion cannot prevent immoral behavior. All religion can do is show people the right way to live and promise them a paradise in the hereafter as long as they follow it.

In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.

The sad reality, though, is that the media in the United States is concerned about making money, not being fair and just. As a consequence, to make a story more exciting, they called the group "Muslim Fundamentalists,” regardless of the effect that it will have on the millions of peaceful Muslims in this country. Violence around the world is not just because of Muslims. For example:
