Is terrorism a muslim monopoly??? by Dr Zakir Naik(Hafizulla)
Took place in Mumbai in front of a jam packed crowd, at the Shanmukhananda auditorium on 11th Sept 2006. He also gave a similar lecture at Jeddah in the last week of September, 2006.
Dr. Zakir Naik said that historic records proved that a large number of terrorist acts in the 20th and 21st century were committed by non-Muslims. The so-called global phenomenon of “Islamic terrorism/militant Islam” was a creation of the western governments and their media outlets, he said.
“Politics lies at the heart of labeling Muslims across the globe as perpetrators of terror acts, ” he added.
Dr. Zakir, who is one of the Muslim world’s leading and most prolific speakers, quoted from the scriptures of other religions and proved that associating killing with Islam is incorrect.
“It says in the Book of Numbers that whoever worships other than God should be killed, ” he said, referring to the Bible, yet such militant verses were conveniently ignored by the Western media.
“In every religion there are black sheep and the media keep putting these people forward. This is a media conspiracy and a way of pushing people away from Islam.” he added.
Dr. Zakir Naik said, “No religion encourages terrorist acts or violence. The word ‘Islam’ itself means ‘Peace, obtained by submitting yourself to the Almighty’. Anyone, be it Muslim or non-Muslim, who kills an innocent Muslim or a non-Muslim, kills the entire humanity. However, Islam goes a step further to say that if one saves innocent lives, the whole of humanity is saved. Injustice is the root cause of terrorism…”
He continued, “Palestinians are called terrorists just because they are fighting to get their land back.” By citing examples of LTTE (in Sri Lanka), IRA (in UK), Lord’s Salvation Army, which trains the young children to conduct terrorist attacks, and many other non-Muslim terrorist outfits he further said that, the lives claimed by these outfits are more than the ones by the Muslim terrorists.
Dr. Zakir said Naxalites/Maoists across India and the LTTE in Sri Lanka were non- Muslim terror organisations, which had had developed pan regional bases beyond national boundaries. Other such non-Muslim terror outfits included the United Liberation Front of Asom, National Democratic Front of Bodoland and All Tripura Tiger Force in the Northeast, Naik noted.
Drawing on international examples, Dr. Zakir said that the Japanese Red Army, Lord’s Salvation Army and the ETA in Spain were also non-Islamic in character and composition.
“So nothing is more removed from truth as to suggest that Muslims have monopolized terrorism, ” said Dr. Naik. He said the Irish Republican Army, which was considered to be terrorist group, has a history of 100 years of violence against the British, but the British government doesn’t seem to be scared about them as they are about radical Islamic groups.
Besides, he also mentioned, “Even a single killing by a Muslim is condemned by Islam, whatsoever the reasons.”
On the Media, Judiciary and Politicians
Dr. Zakir appreciated the Indian media for being unbiased and upright while reporting the communal riots. He further expressed that it is the plot of the Western media to destroy Muslims.
He also said that the media controlled by the political authorities is biased and does not portray the truth or reality. He stated, “Islam does not justify using wrong means to reach the right goals. People should not take the law in their hands.”
“India has seen maximum number of communal riots in recent years. Politicians have been using the ‘Divide and Rule Policy’ to secure their vote banks. However, the masses should not get instigated by them. Terrorism is a monopoly of politicians. People, regardless of their religion, wish to live harmonious lives, but politicians feed the feeling of hatred amongst them, ” he opined while speaking about the role of politicians in the society today.
We should learn how to turn the tables and convey the real meaning, ” said Dr. Zakir, while calling on Muslims to dispel the media’s vilifying of Muslims and the importance of having Muslim television channels and newspapers.

What exactly is the patriot act, and is it government terrorism?
From what I’ve heard it’s like governemnt terrorism completely violating rights….
Im more unedcuated on the patriot act than I am educated. Thanks for the help if you choose to help.
99% of what you have heard about the Patriot Act comes form people who have never read it for themselves.
For example – most of the issues with the Act that people claim are unconstitutiona and ‘taking away our freedoms’ were nothing more than the application of law enforcement techniques used to fight organized crime being applied to terrorism.
And it also removes the distinction between supporting domestic and international terrorism. Now – any act where you are knowingly assisting, providing financial assistance, false documents, or any kind of material resource to anybody planning to commit a terrorist act is illegal – no matter whether or not the act occurs in the US or not.
Below is a link to the text of the Act. You should be able to scroll down and find the links to any topic that concerns you and read for yourself what the Act says (then compare this with what the people who are relying on rumor as a basis for their opinions say).
It should be fairly easy for you to discover that most of the people criticizing the act have no clue as to what they are talking about.
Inside Story – Homegrown vs foreign terrorism
Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American who has lived in the US for over 10 years, was the mastermind behind the failed car-bomb attack in New York on Saturday. Shahzad is expected to be charged with terrorism acts including to use a weapon of mass destruction, as the debate goes on about al-Qaeda or Taliban involvement. But Shahzad is a US citizen, so how much of a concern is the homegrown terror threat for the US? And what does it take to wipe out this threat, almost a decade after the 9/11 attacks?

What are some examples of war where terrorism was succesfully used as means to achieve goals?
Can anyone think of some conflicts where one side used terrorism, perhaps even justifiably to win a war?
The IRA in the 20’s. Up until that time the Irish would revolt against the British using conventional military tactics every generation or so.
They were often sold out to the British by spies within the ranks and unable to deal with the better trained British forces.
The IRA began targeting Irish that were working with the British for termination as a warning to others. It helped them eventually bring the British to the bargaining table
Obama talks to Russian TV on WW2, terrorism and US adoption ban
In the 1940s, deeply-held ideologies had to be put to one side – for the sole aim of saving the world from the horrors of Nazism. Although decades of Cold War division were to follow, U.S. President Barack Obama told Russian political commentator Sergey Brilev, that the Soviet role should not be under-estimated.
