The problem is when some nutcase shoots up a school in america he says he does it because he didnt like the "jocks" on the football team or because he was picked on. When some nut case blows up a girls school in Kabul he says its because the Quran forbids the education of girls.
Yes you are right to some extent, but then again we are missing a link here. What you have said though is true but then the same thing can be said in case of a Christians, Americans, indians, Buddhists whatever. No terrorist act is without a motive and reason! And we all know that, no one just gets up and blow himself just because he was feeling itchy this morning. So when we agree that every terrorist and his act has a reason AS Muslims (as they claim and i dont consider them as Muslims) mostly has a "Islamic" reason for their acts, but then we see that ONLY this side of the motive, reason and driving force have been standardized by the media and others. We dont find that the media labeling the culprits of Oklahoma City bombing who were motivated by Waco Siege and/or the Ruby Ridge incident with the Waco tag saying "Ruby Terrorist or Waco Terrorist blew up at Oklahoma today" etc etc. Neither we find Hindu terrorist organizations who killed 1000s in Gujrat being labeled with the Hindu Tag. So just by saying an Arabic word while you blew yourself wouldn't qualify you to be labeled as a Muslim.
Moreover, most importantly though we know that Muslims are behind some terror attacks but then they are not exactly motivated by their religion (though we do find it as a factor), as most of these terrorist organizations claim that they are 'seeking revenge' against invaders and occupiers as in the case of Iraq and Afghanistan. Even the purpose of 9/11 attacks as admitted by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed says that it were to
"wake the American people up." Sheikh Mohammed said that if the target would have been strictly military or government, the American people would not focus on the atrocities that America is committing by supporting Israel against the Palestinian people and America's self-serving foreign policy that corrupts Arab governments and leads to further exploitation of the Arab/Muslim peoples. So we dont find exactly and Islamic/Muslim motivation behind them but yet they were perpetrated as attacks by MUSLIMS!!
On a second point, though the term terrorist is mainly linked in the media to muslims other equally derogatory phrases are used for others, Hindu extremists, christian fanatics.
But sir we dont find these
terms in the main stream media?! Yes we do find them on blogs, and forums like this one but they are not
officially/formally being used by most if us!
How many times are Christian crusaders mentioned or acts of a mentaly unbalanced person from Israel labeled as jewish terrorisim.
i dont see any, the slide show was one of the proofs.
If one person fires a gun into a crowd shouting you bst###ds killed my dog and one does the same shouting Allah Akbar and only one is called a muslim terrorist are you supprised.
No you are wrong!
Not all attacks had been carried out like this.
LTTE also shouted slogans and others also did the same but then we dont see them being labeled with the religion tag. Kashmiris are motivated to attack indian military as they have occupied it NOT because they are Muslims, a man killed his wife because she committed adultery and NOt because he was a Muslim, people have commit incesty but then (Muslim) couples did not do this because of their religion then why they have been labeled with the Muslim brand??
The key reasons are the terrorist themselves, when they carry any such act they claims they have done it because Islam say's it. Then they follow by a video or audio stating Jihad is mandatory etc. Now anyone publishing that cannot have a different headlines. LTTE was a big terrorist organization, all were Hindus but not even once anyone mentioned it is Hindu terrorist, why? This was because they never claimed Hinduism was their basis of act. The same thing applies to other acts, all the others never claim they are doing it because of religion. So it is wrong to say others are blaming Muslims wrongly. Look at what Muslims are doing, for every single thing they do they add religion to it.
Not necessarily.
Not every attack comes with a tape.
Not all (muslim) terrorist organizations are linking Islam to it. Kashmir is a very near example for you.So if you and the media can de-link LTTE with its religion as they were fighting for
freedom, why cant that be said for afghan talibans who claim now that they fight for their freedom and against the foreign occupation?!
More then 90% listed above are never being declared terrorist organization by anyone including UN.
You are quick to bring in the UN when it suites you. Why dont you believe the UN when it comes to Kashmir? And BTW if you dont consider them terrorist orgnization, what do you, an indian himself call these organizations-The Liberators or may be freedom fighters? If that be the case why dont you give them what they want?
Adding to it, whatever they have done combined is less then what is done by one faction of Taliban in 1 year.
So that ligetmize the use of the word Muslims, right?
Adding to it the LTTE was the pioneer in suicide attacks but we dont see the world labeling suicide attacks as LTTE Attacks or Tamil Attacks aka Suicide Attacks?
I am not blaming Muslims for terrorism, but dude if your fellow friend shouts at top of voice and say I am a Muslim and I am killing people because Islam tells me, then I think some introspection should be done on your side to.
Well you still think that the Muslim world espacially Pakistan is still not doing
some introspection then i feel sorry for you.
Even in this forum it's Muslims who comment based on religion.
The same can be said for my indian friends.
How many times instead of using word India you guys use word Hindus.
Aa aan!! Not me, 'those guys', take it up with 'those guys'.
But on the contrary the whole world uses the word Muslim instead of Pakistani (though i would not like neither this word to be used instead) and when we object you try to soothe us down? You cant even bear
a few idiots on this forum when they use Hindu instead of indian but then you try to take us for a walk?
When we talk we say Pakistan not Muslims even though Pakistan is 98% Muslim and we are 75% Hindus.
Tankyou, i am grateful. But what about those who dont?
