Violence Vs. Islam

Tweet

A deadly bomb attack on 2nd of November'2014, at Wagha broder in Pakistan left more than 60 people dead and over 200 enjured. It is sad that certain groups of Muslims are beset by outdated tribal mindset of violence in the name of Islam. No. religion including Islam, advocates terrorism. Islam is a religion of peace. All teachings of Quaran are based on peace. The solution to the problem of violence in the name of Islam, lies in education. A large section of Muslim community is lagging behind the modern education. Further, some thinkers of Muslims world are obsesed with a political ideology of Islam and they are misguiding the poor and deprived young minds to wage war in the name of Islam. However, this problem can not be overcome by "Gun For Gun", policy. The need of the hour is to engage such misguided groups in to peace talk, where a peaceful picture of Islam should be presented before them. No doubt this is a time consuming process. Because of contineous violence by different Muslim groups in different part of world, there is a wide spread notion that Islam promotes violence. But there is difference between Muslim and Islam. All these violent activities are launched by misguided Muslims and Islam can not be blamed for this. Such groups are exploiter and not followers of Islam. It is now collective responsibility of whole Muslim world to join hands and correct this self styled interpretation of Islam. Hopefully then every thing will fall in place
