Terrorism
The meaning of terrorism keeps changing depending upon the geographical location and
historical fact. According to Oxford Dictionary terrorism means “the use of violent action
in order to achieve political aims or to force a government to act”. To understand easily
we can say that ‘A Terrorist is a person who creates fear or terror in other’s heart’. So,
basically all the terrorists are not the same. Such as a policeman creates fear in a thief’s or
robber’s heart, so he is good for the society. But when people hear the word “Terrorist” he
generally thinks about a person who spread terror in society.
“All the Muslims are not terrorist, but all terrorists are Muslim” is it true? Let’s see.

There are hundreds of terrorist attacks that have been done by IRA. IRA TERRORIST
ATTACKS
IRA is a Catholic terrorist group. But these people are not being called as Catholic terrorist.
Today U.K. government is more afraid of Muslim terrorist than IRA. Yet there are hardly any
example of Muslim terrorist doing bomb blast in UK from British records. Even in the London
bombing of 7th July there are no confirmed reports that Muslims were responsible. They
were suspected to be Muslim not confirmed. Though it's not confirmed but even if we
agree for the sake of argument that Muslims did the 7 th July bomb blast, they are not even
close to IRA. IRA has killed thousands of people in the past 100 years. But Kei Starmer is
more afraid of “Muslim Terrorists” rather than the IRA which has been conducted terrorist
attacks for more than a hundred years killing thousands of people.

violent, dangerous and deadly terrorist organization of the world. They train even
Childrens to take part in suicide bombing. They are the deadliest suicide bomber in

Who are they? Hindus. But, no news channel says, “Hindu Terrorist”. They say LTTE.
Isn’t it double standard?

In “South Asian Terrorism Portal”, run by non-Muslims and the largest website on terrorism
in South Asia, Muslims are minority there. But It’s never been highlighted in the media. So
according to this data Kashmiri Militant are no way comparable to the other terrorist
organization. Yet the media always talks about them. They are more afraid of Muslims than
them. Why? Because of America.
♦ On 9th September 2006, 875 Rockets and Launchers of Maoists was confiscated by
police. Yet they are more afraid of people who have beards, wearing a cap and
trousers above the ankle.
It’s just glimpse of terrorist attacks done by non-Muslims. There are uncountable terrorist
attacks done by non-Muslims. Though medias are misleading the society saying all
terrorists are Muslim. In fact Muslims are no way comparable with the non-Muslim
organizations.
‘‘Whoever takes a life — unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land — it will
be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of
humanity.’’ Surah Ma’idah 5:32

Islam condemns every innocent people who get killed unjustly whether they are Muslims or
non-Muslims. People died in Twin Tower Tragedy is to be condemned, people died in
London bomb blast is to be condemned but don’t put a “full stop”. Because people died in
Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine is to be condemned as well. Every life matters.
could easily stop the gathering, but didn’t stop. Why? Because they will lose votes. And
spontaneously the Babri Masjid was destroyed. They planted explosives to take the Masjid
down. Anyone can notice with bare eyes. Anyone can notice with bare eyes. Nobody has to
be a superhero to understand that it was a pre-planned inside act. Maybe Geroge Bush saw
the BABRI MASJID destruction of 6th December and conducted the inside job of 9/11. Post
Babri Masjid riots were the largest riots after partition where 10 thousand innocent people
were killed. Most of them were Muslims. Who’s to blame? Of course, the politicians who
instigated the people to kill the people of other religion. After the riots there a bomb blast in
1993 where more than 250 innocent people were killed. Later the investigators told that it
was done by some Muslims by the help of some underworld peoples. Police commissioner
considered it as a retaliation of the riots of 1992 where many innocent Muslims were killed.
After the riots it became hard for a Muslim to live, walk on the streets, work on a non-Muslim
site so they took retaliate. Most of the Muslims know that killing is prohibited. Yet they had
soft corner for the people who did the bomb blast. But in Islam two wrong don’t make a right.
Islam condemns this act. Someone can’t kill a person for another person’s fault. Islam
doesn’t permit to follow a wrong path even the goal is right. Though Muslims were killed in
Bombay riots, that revenge can’t be taken through the other Hindus who weren’t involved.
Islam doesn’t permit this. What the family of those 250 Hindu's will think? They will think,
"what type of religion is this?”. And they will become a permanent enemy of Islam. What is
the main cause of this? It’s very clear. The politicians had the authority to prevent the riot.
They could have prevented the riot very easily. They had supreme court verdict, they had the
police, they had the military. Yet they did nothing because they would lose votes. The second
reason is the innocent people who are instigated by the politicians.
Who’s to blame? The politicians to be blamed. The number of people died in the Gujrat
massacre is far more than the 9/11. Yet according to Geroge Bush the people who did
Gujrat Massacre were not terrorists. Only if you harm the American or non-Muslim there is
problem.

first few categories surely, we will not get any type of terrorist attacks.
