Essay:
All the religions and laws give the message of peace. It is man who distorts their
true sense. This does not make these religions and laws evil.
People of different religions have committed terrorism. History shows that
Christians and Jews had committed it in past and are still committing it. Islam is basically
miss-interpreted by those who do not comprehend it or distort it for their own interests.
Actually, it is conspiracy which is hatched by Western media.
Like all other religions Islam promotes peace, love and harmony among people.
Actually the word Islam is derived from the Arabic word Slam which means peace. The
Muslims greet each other by saying Slam (peace be upon you). Islam advocates peace
and rejects aggression. The relation of Muslims depends on peace, mutual respect and
trust. The theme of Quran is peace.
Islam forbids killing of innocent people. Islam condemns killing of people merely
because they belong to different religion. The Quran gives absolute freedom of religion in
a society. It does not allow Muslims to fight except for self defense or to enforce peace.
Regrettably, many terrorist groups are using the name of Islam for their own
benefits. This gives non-Muslims a chance to declare Islam and Muslims terrorists. On
the other hand, other Christians and Jewish terrorists are deliberately ignored. Attacks on
the civilians are condemned by all the religions, including Islam. Some of the terrorist
groups which kill innocent people consider themselves martyrs. But they should think
twice. Their acts are strongly condemned by God in the verses of Quran. The Quran is
very clear that the believers must defend themselves but never to aggress.
To conclude, it can be said that our creator is one and same. The God of Muslims
is the same as that of Jews and Christians. God does not permit one group to kill innocent
people of other group. Islam should not be confused with what these so called Muslims
have done. They actually, by the definition of Quran are not Muslims. In short, Islam is a
religion of peace and condemns terrorism in form and manifestation.
