 It is the ploy of the Western media which is
controlled by politicians.

 And when we analyze we can surely say

without any doubt that terrorism is not a
Muslim monopoly.
 Not only is Terrorism not a Muslim
monopoly, it is not even a specialty of the
Muslims.

 It is not even encouraged in Islam.

 It is prohibited!
 “…if any one slew a person - unless it be for
murder or for spreading mischief in the land
- it would be as if he slew the whole people:
and if any one saved a life, it would be as if
he saved the life of the whole people.”
- The Quran, Surah Al Ma’idah Ch. 5 V. 32
 Islam is derived from the Arabic word
Salaam, which means peace.

 It comes from the Arabic word Silm, which

means to submit your will to Almighty God.

 Islam in short means, peace acquired by

submitting your will to Almighty God.
 Islam condemns all forms of Terrorism.

 All forms of acts which kill innocent human

beings, whether it is 9/11, 7/7/93 (Bombay
serial blast), 11/7/03 or any other.

 It is prohibited, you cannot justify killing of

any innocent human being.
 We also have to condemn 1000’s of
Afghani’s that are being killed in
Afghanistan.

 1000’s of innocent people that have been

killed in Iraq.

 1000’s of people that have been killed in

Gujarat.

 1000’s of people that have been killed in

Palestine.
 1000’s of people killed in Lebanon.

 All sorts of terrorism in which innocent

human being are killed are to be condemn.

 Whether done by Muslims or Non Muslims.

 We know that most of the religions they
don’t preach that you should kill innocent
human beings.

 But when we analyze, we have terrorist that

clam to profess certain religions and when
we analyze they are from all types of
religion.
 We have Christian terrorists
 We have Catholic terrorist
 We have Jewish terrorists
 We have Hindu terrorists
 We have Muslim terrorist
 We have Buddhist terrorists
 We have Sikh terrorists
 Terrorists professing various different faiths
 And when we do a survey, (though we know
that religions don’t encourage killing
innocent human beings) and try and find
out that the people who have killed the
maximum human beings which religion do
they profess…

 The number 1 who killed the maximum

number of human beings is…
 Hitler.

 He had incinerated 6 million Jews

 And indirectly if you count all the people

killed in World War II, 60 million people.

 Was he a Muslim!? He was a Christian.

 Joseph Stalin (Uncle Joe)

 Killed 20 million human beings

 Including 14.5 million were starved to

death.
 Mao Tse Tsung of China

 Killed 14 to 20 million human beings.

Revolution starved and tortured to death
200,000 people and executed 40,000
people.

 Ashoka in one battle of Kalinga alone killed

more than 100,000 people. He was a Hindu.
 Saddam Hussain killed a few 100,000
people.

 In Indonesia Mohamed Suharto killed

500,000 people.

 But these are nothing compared to Hitler,

Uncle Joe, Mao Tse Tsung.
 Here we are not trying to say that the
followers of these religions were practicing
the religion.

 They were not, otherwise they wouldn’t

have killed a single innocent human being.

 But yet we find in the International media

that Muslims are being targeted.
Why?
Terrorism is not a monopoly
of Muslims.

It is not even a monopoly of

any religion, it is not!
