Not all Muslims are terrorists, but almost all terrorists are Muslims (Part-2)

So here I am back with the second part of the topic.Those who are new to my blog I suggest to go through the first part of the topic and then read this post.

I ended the last post on the note that the non-Muslims are being poisoned and misinterpretation of Quran is being done. Now the question arises that who is responsible for these misinterpretations.The obvious answer is the Non-Muslims themselves.But we need to realise that we the muslims are also responsible to an extent.The Non-Muslims are reading Quran and misinterpreting it but I don`t see enough Muslims reading the Quran and countering the arguments these Non-Muslims are putting up.Here by Non-Muslims I don`t mean the whole non-Islamic world but a selected few individuals and organisations.Are there not enough Muslims on WWW to make a proper Islamic site to be the number one search result on google when fed queries like the one I entered.It is shameful.Isn`t it?


Now lets talk about the misiterpretation of Quran by the Muslims themselves.Enough has been said and written about it(SRK even said that there is a Islam from Allah and then there is a Islam from Mullah) and we are seeing the results of this misinterpretation.Here I`d like to quote what the character of Leonardo Decaprio said in the Movie Body of Lies to some Islamist-terrorist “You misinterpret the one book you believe in!”.

"NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORIST , BUT ALMOST ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS"

From what all I`ve said it seems that I agree with the quote above as I`ve been talking about misinterpretation of Quran and its consequence being the Islamic terrorism.Let us take a tour around the world through the major terrorist countries of the world and then we`ll realise that not all the terrorists are Muslims and that the source of all the terrorism is not misinterpretation of Quran.

Lets talk about the country with the most terrorists:Iraq.A country with 28,221,181 terrorists.Its the population of Iraq(source:Wikipedia).You must be thinking that I`ve gone insane.But I`ve not.Lets analyse this.There was a country called Iraq being ruled by a dictator (just like any other country in the region) called Saddam Hussain.He may have been a tyrant,an opressor but whatever he might have been he was the president of the country. The country was attacked by the US because our Bush junior wanted to fulfill his daddy`s desire.If we keep aside the jokes and talk only serious stuff the country was attacked because it possessed the so called WMD-weapons of mass destruction which were never found.The country was attacked and estimated 654,965 excess deaths related to the war have taken place (source : The Lancet, one of the oldest scientific medical journals in the world).What was the fault of these 654,965 people?Not only the deaths, the whole country has been carpet bombed.The homes,the universities,the historical monuments and everything else has been reduced to ashes.In India, look at the rage and anger in people when around 200 people have died in the 11/26 whereas in Iraq some 654,965 people have died.The woman of Iraq have taken refuge in neighbouring countries and they have to resort to prostitution to feed their children.Its unfortunate really unfortunate but more unfortunate is the fact that all those who have been fighting against the agressors, against the attackers of their land have been termed as the terrorists even though they should have been called the freedom fighters (one of my favourite freedom fighters in the initial phase of this freedom struggle was the shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr). Yeah you may argue that they are violent in their approach but did they have any other option?Even in our freedom struggle we had some nationalists who believed in violent approach to the freedom struggle and today we glorify them and make movies on them.I am not comparing our freedom fighters with these so called terrorists of Iraq but still............................
