Muslims are either terrorist or supporter of terrorism. 1. Every Muslim should be a terrorist. A terrorist is a person who causes terror. for the robber. Similarly every Muslim should be a terrorist for the antisocial elements of society, such as thieves, dacoits and rapists. Whenever such an The moment a robber sees a policeman he is terrified. A policeman is a terrorist anti-social element sees a Muslim, he should be terrified. It is true that the word ‘terrorist’ is generally used for a person who causes terror among the common people. But a true Muslim should only be a terrorist to selective people i.e. antisocial elements, and not to the common innocent people. In fact a Muslim should be a source of peace for innocent people. 2. Islam is derived from the word ‘salaam’ which means peace. It is a religion of peace whose fundamentals teach it's followers to maintain and promote peace.throughout the world. 3. Most of the major world religions prohibit killing of innocent people but Islam goes a step further and says "if any one kill a person (whether he/she is a Muslim or a no-muslim) - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief In the land - it would be As if He kill the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be As if He saved the life of the whole people." (Surah Al – Maidha C:5 V:32 , The Holy Quran)" So according to Quran anyone kill a innocent person whether he/she is a Muslim or non-muslim, he killed the whole of human kind. 4. Same person can be given different label for the same activity for example, Before India achieved independence from British rule, some freedom fighters of India who did not subscribe to non-violence were labeled as terrorists by the British government. The same individuals have been lauded by Indians for the same activities and hailed as ‘patriots’. Thus two different labels have been given to the same people for the same set of actions. One is calling him a terrorist while the other is calling him a patriot. Those who believed that Britain had a right to rule over India called these people terrorists, while those who were of the view that Britain had no right to rule India called them patriots and freedom fighters. It is therefore important that before a person is judged, he is given a fair hearing. Both sides of the argument should be heard, the situation should be analyzed, and the reason and the intention of the person should be taken into account, and then the person can be judged accordingly. 5. The term “Muslim terrorist” is used to label Islam as a terrorist religion. However, it is a misnomer. When IRA bombers struck, they were not labeled as “Catholic terrorists” even though the struggle is between Catholic Ireland and Protestant Northern Ireland supported by Protestant England. Likewise, when Timothy McVeigh blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 killing 168 people, he was not labeled as a “Christian terrorist”, though he was Christian and a terrorist. In fact the “Muslim terrorist” label was attached to the activities of the PLO who were a mixture of Muslims, Christians and communists. The PLO is not, nor was it ever, a Muslim organization. It is a nationalist organization working for the establishment of a secular Palestinian state.
