ITS a burning issue and a matter so much being discussed and talked about in last few years. I said "burning issue" because religion always meant forgiveness, love, pity, humanity and so many golden qualities of quality living. I myself got my education with so many Muslim friends for years and in my hostel life I never felt what I started feeling in last many years after 9/11 attack on America's World Trade Center.
I made effort on researching Islam and its deep impact on Muslims in Muslim world mainly about Pakistan and Afghanistan and analyzed as how 90% of Muslims actually don't follow Islam in its real glory and light. I remember when I had chats with few people in Pakistan's chat room then most of them started as friend but later started sending me site links of Islam and its teachings and almost tried to convert me. It was like every Muslim out there is on a mission of converting and inside their hearts other religions were just as evil as Satan. They presented themselves as strict followers and saviours of Islam but when I asked them if they can really stop watching TV and movies or so many modern day activities that Islam prohibits then they said if they follow all in Islam then life will be so miserable, that very moment I felt that Muslim world talks Islamic on surface but deep beneath its just handful of people who are truly Islamic. Its same with what we call "jihad" which again was and is wrongly interpreted and its effect can be seen in a very big way in the form of "Islamic terrorism" which is engulfing world cities everyday.
Recent developments in Pakistan as home to terrorists and Taliban's and Afghanistan's Taliban are the words enough to shiver any strong heart as Pakistan's nuclear weapons are almost in the hands of terrorists and its impact on the world can be easily imagined even by a fool.
So many of them and all are presenting themselves as saviour of Islam and Islamic people and its no surprise when we see people like Kasab of Mumbai - Taj terror attack or people who die of hunger and poverty falling for few penny and falsely glorified sacrifice by being human bombs which in turn will take them closer to Allah. Under deep pressure of illiteracy, poverty and deeply embedded Islamic faith lead them to killings of thousands of innocent people which includes their own people.
Muslims all over the world are facing severe crisis about their identity , dress code and styling. A best example that flashed on news was that how a Muslim family not allowed to board a flight in US due to security reasons and suspicion of their being Muslim at first place. Even in India leaders and people of this community had to come out to clarify their stand and views on religious harmony. Their effort of trying to show themselves as victim of Islamic terrorism meant that people of other religions should not label an ordinary, innocent Muslim as terrorist. In their hearts religion must have been so heavy to carry because instead of bringing peace and love it brought them hatred, suspicion and piercing eyes of other communities.
Muslims when attack mosques in a Muslim country and kill their own kind then why don't people in Muslim world realise that whom they follow in the name of Islam is actually killing Muslims too. Pakistan almost under fire of terror groups with already burning SWAT and Peshawar is every day's "BREAKING NEWS" in International media. I must say when u breed fire dragons then be ready for the day when they fire back on you.
A blind person on listening all this can understand but its tragic when people with eyes who see all this but don't try to understand that Terrorism will not affect only to their neighbours but in real burn their own houses and kill their own children in their own misinterpreted Islamic world .
Islam was founded to spread love and mercy and teach a way of life where humanity means everything. Muslim world and especially educated Muslims please try to bring change in your own ways because fire of terrorism will spread in your houses too and few flames you can already see rising.
I wrote this sensitive matter without being biased because I am at first place a human being and religion of humanity stands first.. remember that religions were never bad ...they just got infected by few bad people... even Hinduism or Christianity suffers such problems but on local levels or within a country...but for now the whole world is concerned about terrorism and its links in Pakistan and its impact on world. Every religion is equal for me because they have human beings in it.
