Who is the terrorist?
Every time an act of terror or shooting occurs, Muslims closely watch the news with extreme trepidation praying that the suspect is not Muslim. This is not because these terrorists are likely to be Muslim but rather because in the instances where they happen to be, we see amplified mass media coverage and extreme unjustified hatred towards Muslims.
As a Muslim, I am tired of condemning terrorist attacks being carried out by inherently violent people who hijack my religion. I am tired of condemning these attacks to people who are calm and apathetic when Muslims are killed by these same radicalized terrorists.
as the conspiring and lies still continue with as much ferocity, if not more, as the Crusades. Seemingly, amongst their aims is to make Islam appear so unsavoury, that no one would dream of becoming a Muslim. Everyday the media portrays some news about Islam in a negative light. The general ethos prevailing at the moment is that Islam is backward, oppressive, knows nothing but terrorism and has never been, and can ever be, of benefit to the world.
I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil.
