Terrorism from an Anti-terrorist Standpoint
For those who might have questions as to what "Jihad" actually means, this article may clarify a few things. I have to question a government that forces a wrong belief on an unsuspecting public in order to persecute one group of people, which, by the way, doesn't mean simply "Arabs", but all Muslims in general. In fact, I had read an article about a week ago that young American and British women converts are supposedly the most dangerous of Muslims because we are more zealous than others. Guffaw. I wouldn't know anything about making a bomb. I can't even make a loaf of bread without issues. I'm scared to death of guns and refuse even to touch one. Neither Karim nor myself want one in our home.
According to statistics, 30% of the Muslim population in America are converts. If you figure that half of them are women, that would make 15% of America's Muslims. If there are, as a 2004 poll shows, 7 million Muslims in America, that would mean that there are 1,050,000 dangerous women in the US that could potentially blow up important buildings and kill themselves in crowded places. Right.
I hate the fact that the media plays on our uneducated. Most Americans refuse to do any form of research, and will blindly follow the media like kharouf (sheep), allowing them to breed fear and dissension. Because we allow media lies to continue without reproach, covered women are attacked in the streets and Muslim places of worship are bombed.
If you were to ask me who I think might be a terrorist, I would tell you this: Terrorism is, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary (online), "the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion." Terror, according to the same source is "1 : a state of intense fear. 2 a : one that inspires fear. b : a frightening aspectc : a cause of anxiety (worry) d : an appalling person or thing; especially : BRAT 3 : REIGN OF TERROR 4 : violence (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands ."
Take a look at numbers 1,2a, and 2c. When put in this perspective, as one who inspires or causes fear or worry, then anyone who might create unjustified fear in a group of people by creating blatant lies which cause the public to come against them is a terrorist. Therefore, my answer to the question of who I think might be a terrorist is...President Bush and the American Media are terrorists.
For those who wish to slap me in the face with number 4 from our definition above, you will note that it does not specify any group in particular. This might be because Most of the violent actions used to coerce a group of people have not necessarily been done by Muslims (or Arabs) throughout the course of History. Hitler wasn't a Muslim, Mussolini wasn't a Muslim, Timothy McVeigh wasn't a Muslim, and the person or group responsible for the Ohio Mosque bombing a couple weeks ago wasn't a Muslim, either. However, US troops are currently coercing a Muslim country to bits because of one man's need to conquer. Who do you think is the terrorist?
