The wrong impression
Again , these are trying times for Muslims again. Another movie called 'Fitna' has tainted another different picture of Muslims. Any Tom, Dick & Harry can take sentences from a religious book and interpret it the wrong way. I am sad that my fellow non-Muslim friends are only given a very false treatment of Islam through the media. Media is a VERY powerful tool to change one's perception. Like how whitening ads are subliminally suggesting that being fairer gets you jobs , recognition and attention . What is happening right now is that the media is trying to subliminally tell the world that Muslims are bunch of AK-47 wielding , trigger happy bastards killing people off in the name of God.
Thanks to a certain Bin Laden fella , the whole world is led to believe nowadays that every Muslim you meet is strapped with a dynamite on his chest / having suicidal tendencies to bomb things up. Pictures of Arabs with AK-47s and then the screen cuts to Sept 11 were played on air strategically throughout the day to feed our brains that Islam is a religion for terrorists.
You cannot fault those who think so , because they are fed by the media to think like so. In my opinion , the person responsible for 9/11 just so happens to be a Muslim. But does his opinion about the world represents the other Muslims in this planet ? who number in Millions ?
I detest over what has happened to the innocent lives that perished during 9/11 . However, instead of launching a hate campaign on an individual , a terrorist .. the media attacked his religion . Not over what a psycho that guy is , but over his faith.
I fear this. I fear that one day you are prosecuted not because of what you have done , but more on what religion you practice. I wish they can see the light , see the truth . A typical non-Muslim would think "oh Muslim , kalau curi potong tangan , baling batu , bom , dynamite , Ak-47 , janggut , serban .... aaahhhh!" . Things you always see on TV.
I'm a firm believer in having balance and moderation . Those bearded dudes you see on TV with their AK-47s are too obsessed , misled and extreme . They took the teachings a bit way towards the extreme . God does not encourage violence . Maybe they think the more extreme they are , the more Muslim they can be. Now that's not right. Carrying rifles when you don't even respect the basic teachings and values of Islam will not make you better Muslim. Come on.
Peace be upon you.
