2. Not all 'fundamentalists' are the same

One cannot paint all fundamentalists with the same brush. One
cannot categorize all fundamentalists as either good or bad.
Such a categorization of any fundamentalist will depend upon the field
or activity in which he is a fundamentalist. A fundamentalist robber or
thief causes harm to society and is therefore undesirable. A
fundamentalist doctor, on the other hand, benefits society and earns
much respect.

3. I am proud to be a Muslim fundamentalist

I am a fundamentalist Muslim who, by the grace of Allah,
knows, follows and strives to practise the fundamentals of
Islam. A true Muslim does not shy away from being a
fundamentalist. I am proud to be a fundamentalist Muslim
because, I know that the fundamentals of Islam are beneficial
to humanity and the whole world. There is not a single
fundamental of Islam that causes harm or is against the interests of
the human race as a whole. Many people harbour misconceptions
about Islam and consider several teachings of Islam to be unfair or
improper. This is due to insufficient and incorrect knowledge of Islam.
If one critically analyzes the teachings of Islam with an open mind,
one cannot escape the fact that Islam is full of benefits both at the
individual and collective levels.

According to Webster's dictionary 'fundamentalism' was a
movement in American Protestanism that arose in the earlier
part of the 20th century. It was a reaction to modernism, and
stressed the infallibility of the Bible, not only in matters of faith and
morals but also as a literal historical record. It stressed on belief in the
Bible as the literal word of God. Thus fundamentalism was a word
initially used for a group of Christians who believed that the Bible was
the verbatim word of God without any errors and mistakes.
According to the Oxford dictionary 'fundamentalism' means
'strict maintenance of ancient or fundamental doctrines of any
religion, especially Islam'. Today the moment a person uses the
word fundamentalist he thinks of a Muslim who is a terrorist.
5. Every Muslim should be a terrorist
Every Muslim should be a terrorist. A terrorist is a person who
causes terror. The moment a robber sees a policeman he is
terrified. A policeman is a terrorist 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 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. anti-
social elements, and not to the common innocent people. In
fact a Muslim should be

6. Different labels given to the same individual for the same
action, i.e. 'terrorist' and 'patriot'
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.

contiiii WAS ISLAM SPREAD BY THE SWORD?
Question:
How can Islam be called the religion of peace when it was
spread by the sword?

Answer:
It is a common complaint among some non-Muslims that Islam
would not have millions of adherents all over the world, if it
had not been spread by the use of force. The following points
will make it clear, that far from being spread by the sword, it
was the inherent force of truth, reason and logic that was
responsible for the rapid spread of Islam.

7. Islam means peace

Islam is derived from the word 'salaam' which means peace. It
is a religion of peace whose fundamentals teach its followers to
maintain and promote peace throughout the world. Thus every
Muslim should be a fundamentalist i.e. he should follow the
fundamentals of the Religion of Peace: Islam. He should be a terrorist
only towards the antisocial elements in order to promote peace and
justice in the society.

8. East Coast of Africa .
Similarly, Islam has spread rapidly on the East Coast of Africa .
One may again ask, if Islam was spread by the sword, 'Which
Muslim army went to the East Coast of Africa ?'
9. Thomas Carlyle.
The famous historian, Thomas Carlyle, in his book 'Heroes and Hero
worship', refers to this misconception about the spread of Islam: 'The
sword indeed, but where will you get your sword? Every new
opinion, at its starting is precisely in a minority of one. In one
man's head alone. There it dwells as yet. One man alone of the
whole world believes it, there is one man against all men. That he takes a sword and try to propagate with that, will do little
for him. You must get your sword! On the whole, a thing will
propagate itself as it can.'

contiii 1. Islam means peace.
Islam comes from the root word 'salaam', which means peace.
It also means submitting one's will to Allah (swt) . Thus Islam is
a religion of peace, which is acquired by submitting one's will to the
will of the Supreme Creator, Allah (swt).
2. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace.

Each and every human being in this world is not in favour of
maintaining peace and harmony. There are many, who would
disrupt it for their own vested interests. Sometimes force has
to be used to maintain peace. It is precisely for this reason that we
have the police who use force against criminals and anti-social
elements to maintain peace in the country. Islam promotes peace. At
the same time, Islam exhorts it followers to fight where there is
oppression. The fight against oppression may, at times, require the
use of force. In Islam force can only be used to promote peace and
justice.

3. Opinion of historian De Lacy O'Leary.

The best reply to the misconception that Islam was spread by the
sword is given by the noted historian De Lacy O'Leary in the book
'Islam at the cross road' (Page 8):

'History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical
Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the
point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most
fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated.'

6. More than 80% non-Muslims in India .
The Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years. If they
wanted, they had the power of converting each and every non-
Muslim of India to Islam. Today more than 80% of the
population of India are non-Muslims. All these non-Muslim
Indians are bearing witness today that Islam was not spread
by the sword.
7. Indonesia and Malaysia .
Indonesia is a country that has the maximum number of
Muslims in the world. The majority of people in Malaysia are
Muslims. May one ask, 'Which Muslim army went to Indonesia
and Malaysia ?'

10. No compulsion in religion.
With which sword was Islam spread? Even if Muslims had it they could
not use it to spread Islam because the Qur'an says in the following
verse:
'Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear
from error' [Al-Qur'an 2:256]
11. Sword of the Intellect.
It is the sword of intellect. The sword that conquers the hearts and
minds of people. The Qur'an says in Surah Nahl, chapter 16 verse 125:
'Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful
preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most
gracious.' [Al-Qur'an 16:125]

4. Muslims ruled Spain for 800 years.
Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. The Muslims in Spain
never used the sword to force the people to convert. Later the
Christian Crusaders came to Spain and wiped out the Muslims.
There was not a single Muslim in Spain who could openly give
the adhan, that is the call for prayers.
5. 14 million Arabs are Coptic Christians.

Muslims were the lords of Arabia for 1400 years. For a few
years the British ruled, and for a few years the French ruled.
Overall, the Muslims ruled Arabia for 1400 years. Yet today,
there are 14 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians i.e.
Christians since generations. If the Muslims had used the
sword there would not have been a single Arab who would
have remained a Christian.
