Is Beard a sign of Terrorism??
by Ashraf on Aug 24, 2006 10:54 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

At present, when a person is seen with a beard he is suspected to be a terrorist, that to when the person's name is muslim by any chance he gets into the cross roads. Moving around the world is made quite discomfortable for a muslim. His passport invites a special invitation and scrutinization, Blindly a muslim is branded as a terrorist without any cross checks, We can have so many real time examples, one such example is amsterdam detainment. A person can be called as a terrorist not only because of the external credentials he owes such as a beard. A lot had been spoken and written about this subject, but it is embarrasing that many countries don't accept this fact. The world has to change its view on Islam and Muslims. This is My Humble Request.

Beard is not a signof Terrorism, but the whole communty has come under scanner. Few people spread terroism but they get the support from whole community otherwise the other people of the community must have exposed those who provide supports to these terrorist otherwise without local support they could not have succeeded Mumbai blast.

Absolutely not, but discipline the unruly people, otherwise it would be dangerous, do not be fundamentlists, try to understand the feelings because of few people of the community i.e. innocent killing of people, nobody tolerates it. If you have personal enmity with anyone retaliate it but do not attack to those who are nothing to do.

Dear Ashraf, this is not the case i.e. beard or non-beard. You have to understand the true fact that becuase of few people of the community, supported by most of the people of the community, not exposing by the rest of the people of community, the whole community has come under scanner. Now the terrorism became the synonymn with the community. It is now the responsibility of the good people of the community to expose the people whos supports terrorism, provide sheltor / logistics etc. and spread fundamentalism. Otherwise the community would be marginlised. You may be aware in many musilms people are not with beard, like Libya, Lebanan etc. Even as an Indian I could not understand why few people wants to seperate them from the cosmo society and exihibit fundamendalisms. Please teach your people before it become too late.

Start acting like good human beings.Wearing just the beard is not about being Muslim.Islam is not the religion of barbarians.It is the religion of Rabbul Alameen- the God of the entire universe ,Kareem-the god who gives, Raheem-the God who forgives.It's time for us to introspect and reflect and not react.This is just the beginning...think of what our children will go thru...THINK!
