Reality of stereotypes against muslims

on Wednesday, March 13, 2013

As the whole world knows, not all Muslims should be considered terrorists. Why is then, that people get suspicious about Muslims whenever a bombing takes place in any area of the world. I think that the world has forgotten the terrorist attacks that were made in times of the WWI and WWII. Not even a single Muslim was involved in those attacks, so why are they being tagged in the present times. Even in India, which tries to present itself as being a secular state, the terrorist attacks are linked to the Muslims and not to the anti-nationalist powers which are rising there. Moreover, in most of the Indian movies every drug dealer and extremist is shown to be a Muslim. The world might not change its views towards Muslims, but what it needs to do is at least lower down its hatred towards them.

There are a number of arguments which are presented to give an account of reality about the Muslims, but not all rational people prefer to believe those arguments. Islam is a religion that teaches it’s followers to respect every other religion. The use of force is only allowed at times when an external power threatens your existence. In such times, even the Non-Muslim countries prefer to take action. The only difference that lies in the fact that Muslims name their struggle as Jihad and the Non-Muslims name it “Liberation and Freedom”. Another factor which the world needs to consider is that even a number of Muslim sects are being killed on a daily basis. Why would the Muslims prefer to bomb their own brothers? This is a clear cut indication that there is some other factor or power that is trying to create chaos in the Islamic world. It is indeed a planned movement that is being carried out against Islam and the Rise of Islam.

The hatred for Muslims lies in the principles of purity and moderation which Islam teaches the world. But the first world countries, which are now marked for their chaotic societies and immoral principles, are now feeling threatened due to the increase in the number of Muslims. Tagging Muslims as terrorists and extremist, is only to offer a justification for the wars that have been forced onto Iraq and Afghanistan, which in reality were nothing more than just parlor tricks and unjustified rationalizations for getting control of the mineral and petroleum rich regions of Iraq and Afghanistan. In short, it was all a game of resources. Oil, Oil, Oil, that is the reason for which the War had been initiated. The only ones to be tagged as terrorists and extremists are the militant groups. What’s more funny here is that these militant groups are also a production of the foreign forces who created them for bringing down the Soviet Union in times of the Cold War. In lines to all these facts, it is evident that Muslims should be treated firstly as human beings and then as someone else. We should all treat each other equally, all because of the one thing which we have in common i.e. humanity and the strife for living a peaceful life.
