We are called terrorists, why is it Islam???
or is it us creating this name for the one and only truth path which should have been leading the world, or is it only our enemies creating this major dilema for us???
If you want to know why, I would recommend reading Ibn Warriq’s book “Why I am not a Muslim”. Though Warriq’s scholarship may not be truly astounding (it’s not bad though), a good reading will show you why non-Muslims deign to stereotype all Muslims as terrorists. Warriq, an apostate, makes the statement that not only is Islam dangerous to non-Muslims, it is even more dangerous to Muslims themselves. Quite an interesting book, especially if you completely disagree with him. You can read what many people have to say about the book (almost 100 comments) at the Amazon website at

Now, from what I gather, you will probably think that Warriq is blasphemous - an enemy of Islam, out to make Islam look bad - and that is true. But, if you are not aware at the criticisms laid against you, then you can never be sure why people think what they think about Islam.
You know, I'm quite used to hearing Muslims referred to as terrorists by the western media and being a proud Muslim myself, I have to admit it's extremely frustrating and hurtful.
People like Usama-bin-Ladin hardly represent the entire Muslim community. His followers and others like them are obviously frustrated people driven by emotions and hatred. I don't actually think they're fighting for Islam's cause.
I know needless violence is not the answer but sadly, many Muslims seem not to understand that.
And ofcourse, the western media loves it...how many times have we heard the phrase "Islamic militants" "extremists" "fundamentalists" on tv?
But I think all Muslims need to realize that these people DO NOT represent Islam.
WE CAN'T JUDGE A FAITH BY THOSE WHO PRACTICE IT!!!
Its so frustrating but I think we need to remind ourselves, that in the end, it does not matter what Americans or other non-muslims think (since they're determined to believe the worst of us anyway) , we just need to believe in the peaceful message of Islam and have faith.
thanx astrofans ji
The site is really intersting, I guess it is what is mentioned in the profecy "The whole world would turn against ISLAM" an this is whats happening at the moment especially the doings of our worsest enemies "JEWS" who controls the western media.
The Kafir's are terrified of the fastest growing religion in the world.
Of course they are going to call the muslims terrorists.. they need to instill fear against the muslims so that the muslims may not acheive their goal.
A little while back, there was a documentary on BBC television with regards to the Afghan-Russian War.
CIA offials were quoted as saying:
**"The biggest mistake we made after the war ended - was leaving these 100,000+ (American) trained Mujahideen to the hands of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.... These Mujahideen are now seen in Bosnia, Chechnya - They are spread all over the world..."
"...How do you fight a people who are ready to give up their own life for their religion?..."**
If this can be shown on television by CIA personnel.. imagine how scared the West really is?
