Muslims
are terrorists This is by far the biggest misconception of Islam, given
unfairly by stereotyping and the public image that the media gives. Has anyone
else noticed how when a specific group of people attack another group of people
it is labeled as a ‘hate crime’, but when a Muslim opens fire on anybody it is
quickly regarded as ‘terrorism’. Many political dictators and officials or
extremist groups use the name of Islam as a
strategy to garner followers and attention when many of their practices go against
the true basis of Islam. The media has also portrayed Islam as a cult or a club
where if you join you become a terrorist and that is now part of your agenda.
However all over the world people practice Islam in the true form and use it as
a way of life. There are many verses in the Quran that go against the idea of
terrorism. Some of these verses include “fight in the way of Allah those that
fight you but do not transgress limits for god does not love transgressors.”
This basically means do not fight except in self defense and even in doing so
do not go beyond defense. Another verse states “if they seek peace, then you
seek peace,” which means do not attack people for no reason or kill innocent
people. There is nowhere in Islam, whether it be in the Quran or the teachings
of Muhammad, that promotes the killing of innocent peopleMuslims
