First, let us define terrorism. It is "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons."
That is the broad idea of terrorism. Therefore, we cannot just say that terrorism is limited to Islam. What Israel is doing against Palestinian civilians, what the US is doing against Iraqi civilians, what the Indian security forces are doing in Kashmir against Muslims etc., all amount to terrorism. When Hindus attack Muslims in riots, when the police sides with them in their brutality, does it not amount to terrorism? When a suicide bomber kills a few people in Palestine, it is terrorism, but when Israeli forces carry out all sorts of unspeakable atrocities against Palestinian civilians, what would you call it then?
Terrorism exists everywhere, but it's never highlighted. It's only when Muslims carry out an attack, is it called "Islamic terrorism." What about Christian, Jewish, and Hindu terrorism?
I believe all sorts of violence should be condemned, whether by Muslim, Hindu, Christian, or whatever.
