On Branding Muslims as Anti-Socials..............

The above response is a perfect example of how the media perpetuates these same stereotypes. If we are constantly seeing reports of Muslim terrorists the picture gets imprinted in our minds that Islam is synonymous with terrorism. When in fact these acts that are being reported on are being committed in several nations on a day to day basis by NON Muslim groups. I am not saying there isn't an existence of terrorists who use Islam as their basis, but this same idea existed when Jim Jones used Christianity to his benefit, and led thousands to their deaths. An act of terrorism, is it not? It would seem our modern media (government controlled media) is attempting to defame Islam in general and delude the masses into believing that anything associated with Islam is also associated with terrorist groups. When the fact is that Islam has existed for thousands of years, even before these "terrorists" came into play. With this in mind it is easy to see how any religion could be used as a scapegoat if used in the right context. We could say Buddhists are terrorists because they refuse to slaughter cattle. Show constant reports of Buddhist practitioners not eating hamburgers and somehow label them as evil. I mean, as ridiculous as it sounds, if fed to the public constantly, we might actually start to believe it. This practice was employed in another great time of our history, if you can recall. During the time of Hitler's rise to power, it was commissioned that propaganda be spread on a constant basis, claiming the Jewish people were evil. We all know were that led... The same indoctrination is being practiced today with Islam in the media!!!

You're right, this is really unfair. Of course, there are Muslim terrorists, but that does not make Muslims anti-social. The vast majority of Muslims all over the world are good, normal, law abiding people just like anyone else. Terrorism is a global problem, not confined to Muslims alone. Putting a religious tag on a global problem is a big mistake.

The militants and terrorists are gleaning their inspiration from the sequestered pool of obsolete literature at some places in Koran. One of these is the writings on Jihad, "the holy struggle or striving by a Muslim for a moral or spiritual or political goal". Jihad is a Koranic evil in the true sense. The custodians of the religion must take steps to remove such inflammatory text from the Holy books. They must brand and condemn those who profess themselves Muslims as terrorists.

well its tue no body is born terroist,and no one can brand anyone!like this!its the company when you go astray!and become like this!

Dear friend, this is a very complicated topic and a very sensitive one. Here i will share my personal opinion about what i think about this topic. Please make it a not that, am not going to point at any religion. am just trying to explain my thoughts. We must first ask a question to ourself, why are muslims in general being branded as Anti-socials?? The answer to the question is right in front of you. Evereday we come across news of terrorist attacks all around the world. If we all have noticed, almost 99% of those attacks are carried out by muslim people. Doesn't that give an answer to your question?? That doesn't mean all muslims are terrorists. And the fact is, there are so many muslims in this world who can overshadow their fellow community members by their good work for the society. But the general perception of people goes with majority. If we see that majority of the people of a certain religion are making news everyday by killing other innocent people, its them who are to be blamed for spoiling the name of their religion and not those who brand that particular religion as anti-socials. Why are people branded as anti-socials, that is because, they or majority of them have been involved in anti social activities??
