Terrorism

The meaning of terrorism keeps changing depending upon the geographical location and
historical fact. According to Oxford Dictionary terrorism means “the use of violent action in
order to achieve political aims or to force a government to act”. To understand easily we can
say that ‘A Terrorist is a person who creates fear or terror in other’s heart’. So, basically all
the terrorists are not the same. Such as a policeman creates fear in thief’s or robber’s heart,
so he is good for the society. But when people hear the word “Terrorist” he generally thinks
about them who spread terror in society.

“All the Muslims are not terrorist, but all terrorists are Muslim” is this true? Let’s see.

Historical Records
♦ In 19th century we can hardly find any Terrorist Attack done by Muslims.
♦ The word terrorism first coined in 1790s during French Revolution. In 1790s the
statesman Edmund Burke used this word to describe The Jacobin’s ruled French
regime. And the years 1793 & 1794 were called the Reign of Terror. At that time
Maximilien Robespierre, head of that government, guillotined thousands of
innocent peoples. Also, he arrested more than 500 thousand human beings, out of
which 40,000 he executed. Moreover, 200 thousand were deported and more than
200 thousand were starved and torture to death in prison. This is how terrorism
initially was coined to describe the people during the French Revolution.
♦ In 1881 Tsar Alexander II was assassinated in a bomb blast. Also 21 innocent bike
standers were killed immediately. He wasn’t killed by a Muslim. He was killed by a

♦ 19th April 1995 Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City that killed 166 innocent
people and injured hundreds of people was done by two rightwing activist named
Timothy and Terry. Though they kept saying it was a Middle East conspiracy for days.
♦ From 1941 to 1948 after WWII 259 terrorist attacks were conducted by the Jewish
Terrorists. By many terrorist organizations like Stern Gang, Haganah, Irgun etc.
♦ 22nd July 1946 bombing of King David Hotel by Irgun, under the leadership of
Menachem Begin, killed 91 innocent people. Amongst them 28 were British, 41 Arab

♦ In U.K. IRA also known as The Irish Republican Army is conducting terrorist attacks
for more than 100 years. They are Catholic. But they are not being called as Catholic
terrorist. They are called the IRA. In 1972 the IRA conducted 3 bomb blasts taking 7
people's lives. In 1974 the IRA conducted 2 bomb blast killing 5 innocent people. Also
44 people were injured. In the same year IRA bombed Birmingham Pub that killed

people were injured. In the same year 15th August in Omagh bomb blast IRA planted
500-pound car bomb that killed 29 innocent people and injured 330 people. 4th March
2001 BBC was bombed by IRA.
All this information is from non-Muslim sources. Anyone can go to BBC or CNN to do
cross check.

IRA is Catholic terrorist group. But these people are not being called by Catholic terrorist.
Today U.K. government is more afraid of Muslim terrorist than others. But there are hardly
any example of Muslim terrorist doing bomb blast in UK from British records. Even in the
London bombing of 7th July there are no confirmed reports that Muslims were responsible.
They were suspected to be Muslim not confirmed. Though it's not confirmed but even if we
agree for the sake of argument that Muslims did the 7 th July bomb blast, they are not even
close to IRA. IRA has killed thousands of people in the past 100 years. Kei Starmer is more
afraid of “Muslim Terrorists” rather than the IRA that is conducting terrorist attacks for more
than a hundred years killing thousands of people.

♦ In Spain and Franch ETA has conducted more than 36 terrorist attacks.
♦ In Africa the list of terrorist organization is huge. One the most notorious is the Lord’s
Salvation Army a Christian terrorist organization in Uganda. They train young
children to commit terrorist attacks.
♦ In Sri Lanka LTTE is one of the most notorious terrorist organizations. It's the most
violent, dangerous and deadly terrorist organization of the world. They train even
childrens to take part in suicide bombing. They are the deadliest suicide bomber.
Who are they? Hindus. But no news channel says “Hindu Terrorist”, they say LTTE.
♦ In Indian media “Kashmiri Militant” is the most used name. Though in India there
are terrorist organizations belonging to almost all different religion. There is Sikh
terrorist organization named “Bhindranwale” in Punjab that took over the golden
temple killing 100 people. 31st October 1984 Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was
assassinated by her Sikh security guard.
♦ In Tripura, a north-east state of India, there are several Christian terrorist
organizations. Like ATTF (All Tripura Tiger Force), NLFT (National Liberation Front of
Tripura). This Christian terrorist organization killed 44 Hindus on 22nd October in
2004.
♦ In Assam, a north-east state of India, ULFA in 16 years in a span of 1990-2006 has
made 749 successful terrorist attacks. Though ULFA has made 749 confirmed
successful terrorist attacks media have to put Kashmiri Militant to the shame.
ULFA, Hindu terrorist organization, is trained only to target the Muslims.
♦ The Maoists, communist terrorist organization, has done most of the terrorist
attacks in India. In Nepal they have conducted more than 99 terrorist attacks.
According to the Indian Government Site on Terrorism tells that they are present in
more than 150 districts in India out of 600 districts and they have made terrorist
attacks in almost 1/3rd part of India.
In “South Asian Terrorism Portal”, run by non-Muslims and the largest website on terrorism
in South Asia, Muslims are minority there. But It’s never been highlighted in the media. So
according to this data Kashmiri Militant are no way comparable to the other terrorist
organization. Yet the media always talks about them. They are more afraid of Muslims than
them. Why? Because of America.

♦ On 9th September 2006, 875 Rockets and Launchers of Maoists was confiscated by
police. Yet they are more afraid of people who have beards, wearing a cap and
trousers above the ankle.

It's clear that they are particularly targeting Muslims.

It’s neither a Muslim monopoly nor Islam permits this.

‘Whoever takes a life — unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land — it will
be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of
humanity.’

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surah Ma’idah 5:32

Islam condemns every innocent people who get killed unjustly whether they are Muslims or
non-Muslims. People died in Twin Tower Tragedy is to be condemned, people died in London
bomb blast is to be condemned but don’t put a “full stop” because people died in
Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine is to be condemned as well. Every life matters.
