In case of any conflict in the world, a number of wars occur at economic, religious, moral and informational fronts. The real action that takes place in this regard is through the presentation of biased information about a particular group of people. The same applies for the presentation of misleading information about Islam, which is now at the forefront of being criticized by many parts around the world. What we need to learn here is the fact that the media, the government and all other institutions are using our misinformed minds in order to change our views about Muslims. Recently, the organization of Islamic conference has always been pointing out towards the increasing threats Muslims all over the world face. In response to these threats, a number of Islamic militant organizations are also improvising.
One of the most important things that the west needs to realize is that they face no threat from the majority of Muslims. Moreover, there are only a few among the millions who hold extremist views about the western people. So, it is better here not to stereotype the whole religion as it is going to place more damages than mends. The terrorists, in reality, do not have any belief or faith. The only thing that thrives them is their lust for power and recognition which they haven’t achieved. The Europeans need to acknowledge the fact that a number of Muslim countries like Pakistan, Turkey and Iran have now mobilized in order to turn down the hype the terrorists have created. In other words, the Muslims themselves are now terrorized by the presence of terrorists. On a daily basis, a number of Muslims are giving their lives in order to fight terrorism and the rise of the extremist factors. This is something which the Europeans together and the Americans need to acknowledge about Muslims.
The best way to show our gratitude towards Muslims is by removing the stereotypes that are used to define Islam. If all Muslims were of extremist mindsets, then why they give their lives in fighting the terrorists? War on terror is being fought by Muslims, as well. The terrorists gather their strength from the divide they have created between the west and the rest. It is an integral component of their policies to induce a hatred among Islam and all other religions, which are not so different after all.
Islamophobia and stereotyping are going to do no good for this world than just creating a polarization among the societies. Till now millions have lost their lives in lines to this war and hatred which in reality, is a planned movement initiated by the political elites of the modern societies. They – themselves – are the only ones who are at an advantage from this polarization, and the peaceful citizens of all the nations are the ones who are suffering. We are all the centers of this problem, and one day we will realize the fact that how much our children are going to suffer. The only solution to this rising issue lies in developing respect and love for all others as it is the only through which we can guarantee a safe future for all.
