What is worse than Terrorism?

It is not Basic Human Beings!

It's the Systems that Help Terrorism GROW!!

It is better to examine the following statements and see ifthey make sense, and then :Find Solutions

Systems that are tested and Perfect-but applied only atTimes? Eg Human rights violationsSystems that are interpreted differently at different times,

and circumstances! Veto at UNPolitical irony for selfish reasons, or arrogance of those inPowerReligious Arrogance-one being better than the other etc

Bias Reporting, resulting in monopolies incommunication, without referring to the ROOTCAUSES!Using Legal Systems to prevent Justice with Wisdom

Freedom of Expression

01


4/26

In today's World of Secularism, it is imperative to seeksolutions to problems through the same rational wayof Modern Governments and Society and where

required look into the Religious Scriptures of thevarious Faiths.Terrorism, Unrest, Mistrust all arise mainly because wetake little action to prevent Mischief, and Rumours from

spreading. Peace and Progress can only envelope theWorld if each Individual, Society, Faith, Culture,Government take responsibility to Prevent Mischief inEvery Form.

Why Muslims get agitated so much?As a true Muslim we need to love the Prophet(saw)

more than anyone. Thus we can understand the feelingof these People.(we don't tolerate if someone denouncesone's Mother. Imagine the feeling, and anger of over 1.5billion! Specially if it is LIES!!!, and the rest of the

world does nothing to prevent such publicity, citing it asmodern times?)

02


5/26

Further it must be understood that Muslims are the onlypeople as a whole who follow their Scriptures in a closemanner.

Christians don't seem to mind, when something is saidabout Jesus(pbuh)?

03

Certainly Not!

Muslim , Christian or for that matter any devotee ofany Religion will find it very offensive if something issaid bad about their Faith. Unfortunately in Today'sWorld, Belief is shaky, Practice- just to participate.

This may be true in the majority of the cases-perhapsdue to confusion, distortion and secularism.Therefore it becomes a necessity to understand thecomplex world we live in where in one hand

Blasphemy Laws are in disuse or overwritten by theFreedom of Expression(without adequate safeguard forthe oppression of others' sentiment or their basic rights ). Iquote below President Obama and a few passages of the

Bible and Quran, and hope this will help us to understandthe situation better.


6/26

'Like me, the majority of Americans are Christian, andyet we do not ban blasphemy against our most sacredbeliefs. Moreover, as President of our country, and

Commander-in-Chief of our military, I accept thatpeople are going to call me awful things every day, andI will always defend their right to do so.'..Today, we must declare that this violence and

intolerance has no place among our United Nations.'

04


7/26

Governments must do something when someoneCreates Mischief, that affects their Country/World.Mischief must be understood as something that willembarrass the Nation, make it Vulnerable (to enemies,competitors) etc.In short we are speaking of Treason, or CommercialEspionage. Universally punishment is the most severe.

Bible: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven untomen; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not beforgiven (Matthew 12:31). Within this context the Lordindicated that those who spoke against him could findpardon, but those who spoke against the Spirit could not (v.32).

Quran6:70Leave alone those who taketheir religion to be mere play andamusement, and are deceived by the life ofthis world-

05


8/26

Humiliating People on a Global Scale-yet no tangibleaction taken to prevent reoccurrence!Ignoring the time tested cultures, and imposing

New Cultures, without understanding and respectingBehavioral pattern of Society ;clearly showing contemptof certain Cultures and Religions although a few decadesago the same behavioral pattern was upheld and wanted to

be emulated, because it was tested for centuries andfound to work!(If presently badly implemented for one'sown gain is no fault of the Culture)

How do you find Solutions?

We need to be GENUINE, Try to understand theSuffering, Turmoil and the Wants, Needs and Aspirations

of the WEAK and OPPRESSED.Identify the Mischief Makers, the Ignorant, the Arrogant.Use Home, Office, Society, Country to gather PublicOpinion with Internet

The Powerful will slowly change their Attitudes and BringDignity to the Poor and Oppressed

06


9/26

Can we apply this punishment where there isDisrespect to Religion?Consider the safety of fellow citizens?(Multi Faith

Society)Consider, the basic rights of being able to live withHonour and Dignity.Can we have Freedom of Expression at the expense

Peace through understanding and Tolerance.

Cause and Effect.We know the cause(in this case a film etc)

Effect- we call it Terrorism, murder, and manyotherwe forget that people were peacefully respectingeach other before the appearance of the film.The Party responsible for the film, and opportunists,

make use of innocent and the ignorant majority to meettheir end.Is humiliating, and playing on the feeling of over billionpeople .. come to stay as some kind of Freedom,

democracy, modern civilization!

Can you have Freedom that nullifies the GreaterGood of Mankind!Can we allow our Citizens to get away by Laws that we

created(that constantly change) and Create in CivilSociety unrest at a a Global Scale!Should we not have Strict Laws that deals with MischiefMakers, who arouse the Flame of Hatred?Cause Bodily

Harm to Innocent Human Beings All over the World?If we are believers in some Faith should we not look intoit if we Truly Believe? If we are Modern Thinkers,should we not Rationalise, and come up with a strict

code of Ethics when it comes to Mischief Makers whobring about Destruction, by Humiliation, and Hate!

We are Duty bound to express our concerns to those

who can do something, and get Busy to Preventinnocent People from getting Hurt, and arousing

Hatred.

CHRISTIANITY

CHRISTIANITY

The Bible itself banishes the illegitimate child and offspring forgenerations from the Church! Deuteronomy 23:2How much more should the Mischief Maker be punished whenh e c r e a t e s u n r e s t i n t h e Wo r l d !Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issueoppressive decrees Isaiah 10:1

The following also helps in our understanding.

Jeremiah 8:8 .. the pen of the scribes is in vain In contrast the

Quran states, .. verily I will preserve it Quran 15:9, ..there is no crookedness Quran 18:1

BUDDHISMThe spokes of the wheel are the rules of pure conduct: justice is

the uniformity of their length; wisdom is the tire; modesty andthoughtfulness are the hub in which the immovable axle of truthis fixed. Thus Wisdom is required to administer Justice toprevent mischief makers from taking advantage of the

judgement.

We give below, what prominent NON MUSLIM Personalitiesrecognized internationally have got to say about Islam and ProphetMuhamad(saw) to put to rest any inner doubts one might have. It isalways recommended to read the Quran and the biography to get

Lamartine - Histoire de la Turquie, Paris1854, Vol II, pp. 276-77:"If greatness ofpurpose, smallness of means, and

astounding results are the three criteria of human genius,who could dare to compare any great man in modernhistory with Muhammad?....... He preached a dogmawhich was twofold, the unit of God and the immaterialityof God; the former telling what God is, the latter tellingwhat God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with thesword, the other starting an idea with words.

Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior,conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cultwithout images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empiresand of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards

all standards by which human greatness may be measured,we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?"

Rev. Bosworth Smith, Mohammed andMohammadanism, London 1874, p. 92: "Hewas Caesar and

Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope'spretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar: withouta standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace,without a fixed revenue; if ever any man had the right to say

that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammed, for hehad all the power without its instruments and without itssupports."

Montgomery Watt, Mohammad at Mecca,Oxford 1953, p. 52: "His readiness toundergo persecutions for his beliefs, the

high moral character of the men who believed in him andlooked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his ultimateachievement all argue his fundamental integrity. Tosuppose Muhammad an impostor raises more problemsthan it solves.

Michael H. Hart, The 100: A Ranking of theMost Influential Persons in History, NewYork: Hart Publishing Company, Inc. 1978,

p. 33: My choice of Muhammad to lead thelist of the

world's most influential persons may surprise some readersand may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in

history who was supremely successful on both the secularand religious level. ...It is probable that the relativeinfluence of Muhammad on Islam has been larger than thecombined influence of Jesus Christ and St. Paul on

Christianity. ...It is this unparalleled combination of secularand religious influence which I feel entitles Muhammad tobe considered the most influential single figure in humanhistory.

Stanley Lane-Poole Table Talk of theProphet He was the most faithful protectorof those he protected, the sweetest and most

agreeable in conversation.Those who saw him were suddenly filled with reverence;those who came near him loved him; they who describedhim would say, "I have never seen his like either before or

after." He was of great taciturnity, but when he spoke it waswith emphasis and deliberation, and no one could forgetwhat he said...

George Bernard Shaw - The Genuine Islam


18/26

George Bernard Shaw The Genuine IslamVol.No.8, 1936.I believe if a man like himwere to assume the dictatorship

of the modern world he would succeed insolving its problems in a way that would bring muchneeded peace and happiness. I have studied him - the manand in my opinion is far from being an antiChrist. He must

be called the Savior of Humanity. I have prophesied aboutthe faith of Mohammad that it would be acceptable theEurope of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable tothe Europe of today.

In the words of Professor Hurgronje: "Theleague of nations founded by the prophet ofIslam put the principle of international

unity and human brotherhood on such universalfoundations as to show candle to other nations." Hecontinues, "the fact is that no nation of the world can show aparallel to what Islam has done towards the realization ofthe idea of the League of Nations."

K. S. Ramakrishna Rao, an Indian (Hindu)


19/26

, ( )professor of Philosophy, in his booklet"Muhammad the Prophet of Islam" calls him

the "perfect model for human life." ProfessorRamakrishna Rao explains his point bysaying:

The personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult toget into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I cancatch. What a dramatic succession of picturesquescenes. There is Muhammad the Prophet. There is

Muhammad the Warrior; Muhammad theBusinessman; Muhammad the Statesman;Muhammad the Orator; Muhammad the Reformer;Muhammad the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad the

Protector of Slaves; Muhammad the Emancipator ofWomen; Muhammad the Judge; Muhammad theSaint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all thesedepartments of human activities, he is alike a hero."

Quoted by Arnold in The Preaching of Islam pp. 71-72.

17

But Islam has a still further service to render to the cause of


20/26

humanity. It stands after all nearer to the real East thanEurope does, and it possesses a magnificent tradition of

inter-racial understanding and cooperation. No othersociety has such a record of success in uniting in anequality of status, of opportunity, and of endeavors somany and so various races of mankind... Islam has still the

power to reconcile apparently irreconcilable elements ofrace and tradition. If ever the opposition of the greatsocieties of East and West is to be replaced by cooperation,the mediation of Islam is an indispensable condition. In its

hands lies very largely the solution of the problem withwhich Europe is faced in its relation with the East. If theyunite, the hope of a peaceful issue is immeasurablyenhanced. But if Europe, by rejecting the cooperation of

Islam, throws it into the arms of its rivals, the issue canonly be disastrous for both

La Propagande Chretienne et sesAdversaries Musulmans," Paris 1890.Quoted by T.W. Arnold in The Preaching of

Islam London, 1913, pp. 413-414.

In the quotations below, Western writers have used the wordMuhammadanism for Islam. The word Muhammadanism

connotes worship of Muhammad, an absolutely unworthystatement for any learned man to use. Prophet Muhammad'smission was to propagate the worship of the One and OnlyGod (in Arabic Allah), the Creator and Sustainer of the

Universe. His mission was essentially the same as that ofearlier Prophets of God. In the historical context, many suchterminologies about Muhammad, Islam, and Muslims wereborrowed from earlier European writings of the Eleventh to

the Nineteenth century, a time when ignorance andprejudice prevailed.

19

Lawrence E. Browne in 'The Prospects of


22/26

Islam,' 1944 Incidentally these well-established facts dispose of the

idea so widely fostered in Christian writings that theMuslims, wherever they went, forced people to accept Islamat the point of the sword.

James A. Michener, 'Islam: TheMisunderstood Religion' in Reader's Digest(American Edition), May 1955, pp. 68-70:

Muhammad, the inspired man who founded Islam, was bornabout A.D. 570 into an Arabian tribe that worshipped idols.Orphaned at birth, he was always particularly solicitous of thepoor and needy, the widow and the orphan, the slave and thedowntrodden. At twenty he was already a successfulbusinessman, and soon became director of camel caravans fora wealthy widow. When he reached twenty-five, hisemployer, recognizing his merit, proposed marriage. Eventhough she was fifteen years older, he married her, and as longas she lived, remained a devoted husband.

"Like almost every major prophet before him, Muhammad


23/26

Like almost every major prophet before him, Muhammadfought shy of serving as the transmitter of God's word,sensing his own inadequacy. But the angel commanded

'Read'. So far as we know, Muhammad was unable to reador write, but he began to dictate those inspired words whichwould soon revolutionize a large segment of the earth:"There is one God."

"In all things Muhammad was profoundly practical. Whenhis beloved son Ibrahim died, an eclipse occurred, andrumors of God's personal condolence quickly arose.Whereupon Muhammad is said to have announced, 'Aneclipse is a phenomenon of nature. It is foolish toattribute such things to the death or birth of a human-being.'

"At Muhammad's own death an attempt was made to deifyhim, but the man who was to become his administrativesuccessor killed the hysteria with one of the noblestspeeches in religious history: 'If there are any among you

who worshipped Muhammad, he is dead. But if it is Godyou worshipped, He lives forever.'"
