A handful of extremists are destroying world peace and degrading an entire race, under the pretext of religion. So many of them must have sung ‘vande mataram’ happily and proudly when they were young. But when innocence turned to adolescence, they were brain washed that minorities will disappear in a whirlwind if they do not fight for their existence. Then books were replaced by guns in hand and jihad was supposed to be the only career.
Instead if they would’ve opened up the regional translation of the holy Koran they could have known the fact. The fact which reveals the true hallmarks of Islam. No religion teaches to kill others. No religion demands blood and war. And a religion as pious as Islam has its roots far deeper than the superfluous extremism. Jihad means fight against evil. So who decides what is evil. The extremists with boiling blood and ruthless hearts. Or the critics of Islam who despise and are skeptical about every man whose name starts with Mohammed or ends with Khan, or has a beard and wears a cap! Or just a plain common man who’s much more worried about his monthly budget rather than fretting about what’s happening in Kashmir (until his family is safe). Everyone had conveniently made up their own definitions. For the so called jihadis ‘evil’ is the unbeliever. And they equated jihad to fight against all unbelievers. Determined to slay all unbelievers in the world, the organizations like LeT and JeM came into being. All having the same motto. Covering their insanity and jingoism under the name of love towards religion, these young minds are taught to be bold and to believe in what they are doing. The doors of their mind are shut tight and no preaching about its ill effects will melt their cold hearts.
What the world frantically needs today is fraternity, between countries, amongst regions, amongst religions. We’ve witnessed the hazards of this bigotry back in the 2nd world war. Don’t we all agree today that Hitler was a ruthless dictator? But way back in 1944 this was simply called Anti Semitism. We have the lessons and examples of our forefathers and it’s the responsibility of the young budding generation to prevent the occurrence of such catastrophes. If we all take time to ponder over this for a few minutes, it may be possible for us to bring about a positive change, a revolution that may save our world in the nick of time.

Well try! I think our youth should come forward & speak now... but second thing they should know also "Rang mancha magache jug"
i dint really get that
It means..the fun behind the curtains of the Drama. A literal meaning.
Well said shadma....stil i'm not agree with certain points... Does 'Jihad' mean to kill the people in the name of religon? The answer is absolutely 'No'... The concept of jihad is much wider than what normal man thinks of...it means to fight with the bad or as u said evil...and evil doesn't necessarily mean unbeliever...jihad teaches to fight with the evil...then it may be my inner thoughts which are bad or my habits which are not good...it means to fight for justice or what we call it as 'haque' or 'sahi'... walking on the path of righteousness is jihad...it doesnt mean the terrorism we see...it is the misconception from the media that the jihad necessarily mean a terrorist activity...when we talk that people are getting killed in such activities why dont we ignore when many of the muslims are getting killed in palestine by jews or in iraq or afgan by american army...why dont we raise voices against this activities...if we talk abt humanity it should be from the global perspective n not limited to the region we live...ultimately Islam teaches us that every human being on the earth is ur brother or sister...it teaches us universal brotherhood n that too in real not theoretically... So pls have clear idea of Jihad and its meaning... If am wrong anywher kindly let me knw...
a good trial but not perfect..
