If anyone was a terrorist then their status of shaheed is in the Hands of the Lord If anyone was called a terrorist then their status of shaheed is in the Hands of the Lord.
Though we cannot be certain that anyone was or was not a terrorist or a freedom fighter or a person with a good intention who adopted desperate ways or person who was in league with evil itself we don't know. But anyone who claims to be Muslim and dies defending Islam, then for me I have trust (not certainty) but trust that they are shaheed and May Allah (SWT) give them that title also.
I do not call anyone an apostate by the way, but I don't swallow media spiel either!
Ask yourself a simple question
Are Islam and the Quran so utterly devoid of inherent merit and attractiveness? If Islam and the Quran cannot attract people today by their intrinsic beauty, what evidence have we for the truth of Islam? Human speech can change hearts. Can the speech of God change no hearts? Can it bring about no change in the world except with the help of the sword?
