Terrorists have no religion
by Vikas D on Oct 13, 2007 09:06 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

These guys kill in the name of religion but they really have no religion. They worship only their cause. No God is above that cause for them. They just equate the name of "Allah" with their cause to justify it.

It would be really foolish of Indian muslims if they fall for this propaganda. Many of them are actually falling for it. This is bad. Many Indian muslims actually believe that all kinds of Jihad are justified. No they are not. Violence is justified only when you are defending something - offensive violence can never be justified.

My suggestion to all muslims in the world is, don't get religious. Think rationally. Forget Meccan verses and read Medinan verses only from the holy book.

brother vikas try to properly undestand the meaning of holy book Quran. every suicidal act is not jihad, every bling bombing is not jihad. Jihad is struggle, it need not be distruction.

Well, i often hear that from most of the liberal muslims after any terrorist incidents.
But surprises me is that instead of condemning it and boycotting such people, they try to justify these acts citing american policy, kashmir etc.

brother every American policy is not to be supported (such as atomic peace treaty on one hand and selling fighters to India and Pakistan. Sending arms to Israel during recent Lebanon war and supporting middle east cause. Why America is not interested in Africa as much as it is interesed in Asia and pacific(do not convince me Africa has more energy resources). Either what ever may be the vocabulary either liberal or fundamentalist let us not be too diplomatic for the cause of humankind.

That is correct Attractivist. Liberal muslims should shed this false skin and come out into the open. They should take a stand or else the education imparted on them will be waste and there would be no difference between those suicidal terrorists and well educated high society muslims.

Hi all

Some good comments going back and forth here, just had to chip in with one of my

own. I personally think that all the 'terrorism' hype is way overdone and is

unfortunately used by some people as just a way to excuse growing racism and

religious intollerance.

The acts of terrorism that have happened over the past few years are terrible and I

agree that it must be stopped. But in taking steps to stop it, we must be careful

to make the world a better place, and not a police state full of paranoid people.

There are good people in all cultures and of all beliefs. Just as there are insane

people in all cultures and religions - I'm sure that for each crazy Muslim there is

a crazy Hindu or Christian fundamentalist. We need to protect our homes, our

families from the crazies, but we should be very careful about putting a label on

anyone because of their race or religion. It makes me a little sad to see the world

become more paranoid - and some of the basic freedoms that we all grew up with

slowly disappearing to 'help with the war on terror'.

Basically, crazies of all colours and religions should be stopped - and let's just

call them what they are, criminals. We should never allow ourselves to say that all

Muslims are evil, or all Christians are bad (or all Jews, or all whites, blacks,

etc...)

Terror is wrong, it should be stopped. But, the only real way to stop it, at least

at a wide level, is to

First condmn islamic terrorism and then preach others. Indian Muslims are more concerned about muslims in Iraq and Palestine and not bothered about their own Indian Hindu brothers from Kashmir who have become refuges in their own land. Islamic terrorism needs to be condemned first by Muslims but that does not happen. They think muslims all over the world are their brothers and not Indian Hindus. Shoab Malik's statement shows typical muslim psyche all over the world.

Brother sampath preaching coupled with practice only creates great impact on any race. Yes injustice should not be done to Hindu brothers not only in Kashmir but whole of the world. Do not hype shoaib malik's comments. Again sports and games have no religion. Thanks for your understanding.

During my recent Fulbright visit to US for 6 months I studied at a renowned university and incidentally my colleague was a veiled female from middle east ( a chaste muslim, according to her). Such a dumb girl, always talking about her religion and her religious book. And I ask her about islamic terrorism she blames the whole world.....except her terror manual....until I thought to myself this is too much and said to her point balnk whether people in Islamic nation do not have common sense that they have tp refer to a manual which has produced gaZILLion TERRORISTS.....and that was the last time I would see her...and she could get my cooperation.....

But she was smart like any other Muslim or Christian in INDIA...their parents/place of worship teach them how to hate Hindu's and their Gods....

I have read the Quran. It is a very good book. And I can also see why it is misinterpreted in so many places. It was right in its place 1500 years ago. If not for Quran, Arabia would have been in chaos and never be united. But do you think the military tactics followed by Prophet Mohammed 15 centuries ago are justified in today's world?

No, brother Quran is the last and final revelation to mankind which will cater to the needs of whole humanity till end of this world. Let us accept that we too used to practice and practicing the period of nomadic arab (for example killing of female infants either in womb or after birth which still we are shamelessly following, adultery, fornication etc.)

no Khaleel Miyan, I am not saying that every suicidal act is jihad. I am saying that most of what these Islamic terrorist groups are doing... they are doing it in the name of Allah. Do you think that is right?

Hello VIkas,
TO your question does Khalil or any Muslim think that Such attacksr right..Just think why will any muslim ask any bomber Just BCoz that bomber is Muslim to come to there city or Masjid and Blast his City for Islam..It could happen that his own family/friend could get killed...So i think no Muslim or matter of Fact No Human Being will allow it...Now coming to Suicide Bomber attacking...Is this right...Its Absolutely Wrong from Islamic Pointof VIew Also..Suicide is Haraam and killing any innocent is Haraam(Prohibited) in Islam. Also these bombers r not following Meccan verses of Quran as u said..If you read all the So called jihadi verses in Quran Properly in Context..U'll see that whenever itsmentioned in Quran to fight its also mentioned that Peace is better than Fighting..@ some instance u have to fight to get PEace..Like in GITA when Arjun says I cant kill my Uncles/Cousins SHRI KRISHNA says how can u even think like that u r Kshatriya and u have to Fight..Fight here is not to Kill some1..Krishna is saying to fight against Injustice..So similarly Quran also says to Fight against Injustice..n same verses r follwed by saying if Opposite Person wants peace give him Peace as Allah loves Peace...So brother NO MUSLIM will support such Acts..Few ppl r there in every community who r black sheeps...Just lookin @ them u cant blame whole Community...And I request all Borthers to make it clear...MUSLIMS DOESNT BELIEVE IN TERRORISM.. QURAN PROHIBITS IT...These days terro

brother do not spread hatred for one misunderstanding do not put the blame on full humanity. Iam proud to be a muslim from India. this what we have to understand we should have interfaith dialogue to avoid misconceptions among ourselves and try to understand the real perspective of worship to the GodAlmighty.
