Terrorism

All of them. Terror cells operate world-wide.

The main organisation of the terror faction dispatches groups, or cells, in their target countries. One of the main purposes of these cells is to recruit new terrorists and send them to terror training camps, usually hidden away in African or Arabic deserts.

Another purpose of these cells is to plan terror attacks on the target country, using the recruits. Suicide bombers were usually born in the country that they are attacking - not always, but most of the time.

For example, a recent case would be the foiled attempt to bomb the 2012 Olympics in London. British intelligence discovered that terrorists planning to attack the London Olympics were actually British citizens, which were brainwashed and trained by terror cells from abroad.

Therefore you can argue that every country is a "terrorist" country, since for all you know, your own neighbour could be building a bomb.

Then again, the word "terrorism" has no definite definition. There are conflicting definitions depending on who you ask.

Some will say terrorism is the act of mass murder by terrible means (ie bombing, hijacking). Others will say terrorism is the act of inciting mass fear but not necessarily through mass murder (ie propaganda, political assassination).

Both terror factions and western culture engages in acts covered by both definitions. So, whichever definition you choose, factions and countries alike can be labelled "terrorists".

For example, let's look at North Korea. They're a country, not a terror faction, however North Korea is responsible for the Rangoon bombing and the mid-air bombing of Korean Air Flight 858 - both defined as terrorism.

While the main countries known for generating terrorists are:

• Afghanistan
• Iran
• Iraq
• Pakistan
• Syria
• Sudan
• South Yemen
• Somalia

The majority of countries on the globe have engaged in acts that would normally be defined as terrorism.

The leads to the well-known saying "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".

They are misinformed and probably do not personally know any Muslims.

It comes from an unfortunate tendency for human being to generalize from small samples. Thus, the only "Muslims" some people know of are of the 9/11 terrorists. As these are the only Muslims known, people then assume that all Muslims are like that.

This is an example of stereotyping. Stereotyping, in its extreme, can lead to racism, classism, gender bias, and a whole host of other problematic behaviors.

From a anthropological/behavioral science standpoint, stereotyping is an evolutionary survival mechanism; it allows a person to make some base assumptions about how to react to a situation based on prior experience. However, it needs to be countered by willingness to expand experiencial knowledge based on new facts.
Some people are so gullible to believe anything the media says and sometimes the media lies that's why

These are the Causes

All praise and thanks are for Allaah. May prayers and peace be on the Messenger of Allaah, his family, and companions. Some people claim that the incidences of Takfeer1 and bombings that occur from some of the youth result from unemployment and lack of jobs; these issues lead them to commit such acts. But this is a lie as clear as the sun on a spring day. We hear, just as everyone else hears, on news radio that whenever a group of them (terrorists) are arrested, lots of money is often found with them, sometimes reaching a million, sometimes more sometimes less, even though the number of individuals is often few. So, if poverty and unemployment lead to these acts, such amounts of wealth would probably not be found in their possession. And the people who say this know they're lying. Besides, how many nations have unemployment problems yet incidents like these are not common among them? This indicates there's possibly another reason that trains them, a cause that encourages and supports them. Other people say these people got the notion of Takfeer from Sh. Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul-Wahhaab. I say this is also a lie and slander against Sh. Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul-Wahhaab, a false accusation. Sh. Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul-Wahhaab never considered anyone to be a nonbeliever except those whom Allaah consider as such. He used to consider those who worship others besides Allaah, committing major Shirk to be nonbelievers, just as Allaah (?????? ????) says: And whoever calls on another god besides Allaah for which he has no proof, his account is only with his Lord. Surely, the disbelievers will never succeed. [Soorah Al-Muminoon, 23:117] Also, he used not to even declare anyone as a disbeliever until after establishing clear and supporting evidences, and these available books of his testify against those who allege otherwise - those who make this clear, deceptive lie against him. Other people say such people (the terrorists) got the notion of Takfeer from the book "Ad-Durar As-Sinniyyah fee Al-Ajwibah An-Najdiyyah" (a compilation of texts by Saudi scholars) - a lie just like the others. Anyone who claims this book declares someone as a nonbeliever without right, let him point out to us the volume, page, and paragraph this can be found within the book. If he can't do so, then he's a liar, having lost his honesty. However, what is correct beyond any doubt is that these young people, those who declare Muslims as being disbelievers, they've taken this methodology, the methodology of Takfeer, as well as substantiation for their bombings from none other than the methodology of The Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Ikhwaan Al-Muslimeen. They've adopted it as the essence (of their way), their patterns, their training, their cultivation and upbringing, and means of their incitement and motivation. They deceptively incite and claim that committing such crimes (Takfeer & bombings) are forms of "Jihaad" supported and encouraged by the Quraan! And they take that from the books of Sayyid Qutb (d. 1966), the man who made Takfeer of the entire nation of Muhammad (salailahu alaihee WA salaam) as is mentioned in his Quraanic explanation, "Fee Thilaal Al-Quraan" (In the Shade of the Quraan) vol. 4, pg. 2122, when he says, "There is not on the face of the earth today a Muslim country or even a Muslim community with social principles based on Allaah's legislation or on Islaamic understanding." He also said similar things in his explanation of Soorah Yoonus. He even claimed that Muslim mosques are really temples and places of idol worship. He encouraged political revolutions and overthrows in his explanation of Soorah Al-Anfaal, alleging that Islaam allows and commands it. He says in his explanation of Soorah Al-An'aam vol. 2, pg. 1057: "The times have always revolved, since the day this religion came to mankind, around 'There's no god but Allaah.' But humanity has become apostates back to the worship of worshippers (other people) and to the injustice of other religions. They've become renegades, leaving 'There's no god but Allaah' even though a portion of them may still verbally repeat 'There's no god but Allaah' without even realizing its meaning." 2

A group of bombers that appeared on Saudi television even confessed and stated they've taken the idea of Takfeer from Sayyid Qutb's books, specifically from "In the Shade of the Quraan". In this is a refutation against those who say that what leads these people to do their crimes is unemployment or other things. I've read in the book, "Caravan of the Muslim Brotherhood" by 'Abbaas As-Seesee - the first volume - lots of incidents showing that members of the Muslim Brotherhood were raised on a terrorist ideology since their beginning. Read, for example, vol. 1, pg. 258 about how Judge Ahmad Bak Al-Khaazindar was murdered by the Muslim Brotherhood…2 All these things are mentioned at the end of the first volume of "Caravan of the Muslim Brotherhood" by 'Abbaas As-Seesee, one of those who've adopted and profess this methodology. His book is a compilation of such incidents, a confession to them. All these things and more occurred during the life of Hasan Al-Banna (founder of the Muslim Brotherhood) between 1947-1948. Is this not evidence enough that the Muslim Brotherhood is nothing more than a Takfeerist sect, using methods of harshness, violence, and bombings? It's the same terrorism referred to in present times.

I wrote this to clarify that the people who say that Takfeer and bombings are the results of unemployment, or learned from Sh. Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul-Wahhaab, or from the book, "Ad-Durar As-Sinniyyah" - all these allegations are false. Only the biased, sectarian factionalists of this same sect make such claims or those who sympathize with them. Hopefully with this clarification, their lie is made known as is the deception of those responsible for trying to cover up the actual cause leading to that (bombings and destruction). With all lies all success. May peace be on our prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions. - Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa Ibn Muhammad Ibn Shabeer An-Najmee

In the Quran, Holy book of Islam, God has said:

" God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers."(Quran, chapter 60/ verse 8)

Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) used, in any military conflict, to prohibit soldiers from killing women, children, old people, or any civilian. He would advise them: {...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.} And he also said: {Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.}

Also, the Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) has forbidden punishment with fire.

He once listed murder as the second of the major sins (the first major sin is denying the oneness of God), and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, {The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed.}

Muslims are even encouraged to be kind to animals and are forbidden to hurt them. Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) said: {A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth.}

He also said that a man gave a very thirsty dog a drink, so God forgave his sins for this action. The Prophet was asked, "Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?" He said: {There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.}

Additionally, while taking the life of an animal for food, Muslims are commanded to do so in a manner that causes the least amount of fright and suffering possible. The Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) said: {When you slaughter an animal, do so in the best way. One should sharpen his knife to reduce the suffering of the animal.}

In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.

Islam calls for peace love and living in harmony with all people irrelevant to their cultures, faiths, gender, or color.

Islamic terrorism is a new term falsified by media and politicians to go ahead with their plans of getting control of Muslim countries and to limit the growth of number of people converting to Islam.

Terrorism is not related to Islam. Islam is a peaceful religion.

• Your statement that 'Terrorism is not related to Islam. Islam is a peaceful religion' is absolutely true.
• If you check carefully the terrorist records, sure you will find your statement that 'While the majority of Muslims ARE NOT TERRORISTS, the majority of TERRORISTS ARE' MUSLIMS... ' is not absolutely true. Media has played strong role in visualising that most terrorists are Muslims. Example evidences are:
• • When Muslims are resisting occupants of their lands they are called Muslim terrorists. Notice that, currently, all world occupied lands and countries are only belonging to Muslim majorities while non of other religion majorities are currently under occupation.
  • When terrorist act happens by non Muslims (Christians, Jews, or any other religion) they are propagated by their nationality (Irish, Israelis, Serbians, Indians, ...) and not by their religion. However, when a terrorist act happens by Muslims, they are propagated by their religion and not by their nationality. This is to falsify the Muslim view in the eyes of the public and to justify the governments acts against Muslims in many countries.
  • Historically, refer to terrorist acts in Serbia, in Chechen, in China, in Korea, in Japan, in USA and Australia against the original inhabitants, in Spain, during the WW1 and WW2, ... etc to recognize objectively that not the majotity of terrorists are Muslims.
