.....................It took YEARS to rid myself of that belief and it pisses me off to no end to hear idiots make excuses for this religion. No I'm sorry, Christianity is not just as bad, yeah it's dumber than Islam but it's not as bloody, at least not nowadays.

Nothing Islamic about Daesh by NILOFAR SUHRAWARDY Published — Sunday 5 July 2015
I protest as a Muslim, as a human being and as a journalist. I protest strongly against the way the label “Islamic State” is linked with terrorist activities taking place in any part of the world. The so-called Islamic State or Daesh militants perpetrating brutalities on innocent people in the name of religion and unleashing a reign of terror cannot in any way be associated with Islam. They are terrorists and only terrorists. Period.
Groups like Daesh, Boko Haram and Taliban known for their evil activities are abhorred and disowned by the majority of Muslims and the world is aware of it.
Nevertheless, linking any terror act with Muslims is not justified. Islam stands for peace. In no way can this religion be linked with terrorism raising its ugly head, off and on, in various parts of the world. Considering that so far there has been no international consensus on the definition of “terrorism,” the ease with which it has been linked with Islam is a cause of worry and concern for Muslims.
The logic behind linking Muslims with terrorism could have been understood had the followers of this faith been confined to a few countries where incidents of terrorism are rampant. But, this is not the case.
India has the second largest population of Muslims in the world and Indonesia, the largest. India has been hit now and then by terrorist incidents of various kinds and the trend here is to link these incidents with terrorist groups known to be active in areas where the incidents took place. For instance, among the terror groups known to be active in Jammu and Kashmir are Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hizbul Mujahideen, Jaishe-e-Mohammad etc.In northeast India, at least 34 terror groups are active in Manipur, 11 in Assam, four in Meghalaya, four in Nagaland and two in Tripura. These include two factions of National Socialist Council of Nagaland, National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Assam) and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). Terror groups active in Manipur are People’s Liberation Army of Manipur, United National Liberation Front, People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak, Kuki Revolutionary Army and United National Liberation Front, among several others. These names have been specifically mentioned here to highlight the point that numerous terror groups are fairly infamous in India for their indulgence in violence. Most of these have not been linked with any religious group.
When a terror group is labeled as “religious” and is accorded a “religious” identity, this indirectly smears the religion it is allegedly linked with and leads people to believe that the terror group is in some way inspired by that particular religion. People believe so because they are not aware of the actual designs and agenda of the terror group.
Unfortunately, calling the terror group Daesh “Islamic State” gives a very wrong impression about the outfit that has surpassed all other such groups in brutality.
It does not have any remote connection with Islam. The misconception has attracted many young Muslims toward this outfit. Those who join Daesh think they are doing a virtuous deed and in some way serving Islam. The fact is that Daesh and other similar groups are the ones harming Islam in the worst possible way. Daesh has used the name of Islam to mislead people and attract gullible youngsters to its fold.
Islam is a religion followed by over 1.5 billion Muslims across the world. Majority of Muslims are pained and offended when any group associating itself with Islam kills innocent people on beaches, mosques and elsewhere.
The fact is that more than 99 percent of Muslims, including the majority in India and elsewhere, abhor terrorism.Even if a handful of Muslims are involved in terror acts, why should their religion be associated with the brutal acts? The moment they kill people or unleash acts of terror; they cease to remain Muslims because their religion does not sanction acts that harm others. Islam even forbids killing women, the old and children even during war. How can it sanction killing innocent people?
It is high time Muslims disowned such terror groups and Muslim countries took concerted measures to destroy such groups that are killing people in the name of Islam.
