ISLAMIC TERRORISM IS AN ABSOLUTE MYTH: EUROPOL REPORT 2010


By: Hamza Sheth


History acts like a mirror for the future of human civilization. From the very beginning, human has been incorporated with history with great care and interest. It is very important for any society or civilization to inspect the history of his past continuously in every aspect of his life to prosper and success. History of human civilization has been filled with many chapters, which have been continuously working as a “mariner’s compass” to lead for their coming generations. But today this mariner’s compass seems to be like as bait or temptation. Some of the people from human civilizations have themselves misshaped this asset of history for coming generations and pulled them in the zigzag of confusions and lie. This has been aroused with a great fear of moral devaluations and social problems for future.


God has created human and put in him some moral virtues. Amongst it the most important one is an ability of “self analysis”. One who can’t develop this ability can’t be success ever. This virtue of self analysis is having the greatest important for the establishment of peaceful and prosperous society. It is quite difficult to balance the social life if one is lacking of this quality.

Today what has made a human most scared is a feeling of “insecurity” - A fear of owns existence. Human has been made very coward and weakened today. Yes, I am aware about what I have told… he has been made, not he made! What has made him so scared and coward is nothing but a jugglery web of media. Media from very beginning is very expert in creating something from nothing. Today everybody knows about such conspiracies of media. Today I would like to open curtain from one such disclosed truth of yellow journalism. The story is about the report of Europol 2010.

Terrorism has been a headache since last many decades. It is not a new problem. But then also, today this issue of terrorism has been so much discussed and debated as it has been never discussed or debated like such before. One thing should be think carefully that this issue of terrorism in media has been bounced with a great pace in all over the world after 9/11 WTC incident and sadly it has been given an identity with a definite tag. Today whenever such issue of terrorism has come to discuss, many of so called intellectuals and wise men of societies are caught to quote one sentence very frequently is, “all the Muslims are not terrorists but all the terrorists are Muslims.” Personally I used to call these all types of so called intellectuals as tamed parrots. They use their peaks in that tone only what their masters wanted them to sing for. You cannot find a quality of “self analysis” in such kind of people ever. One who carries such quality, will never talk baseless and nonsense. He used to analyze things before uttering it. If one cant analyze things deeply and uttering shits what he understand, then he deserves to be called as tamed parrot only – a total mental slave. Main intention of such people behind their stupidity is only to gain chilly from their masters.

Today when people from all around the world used to look at Muslims and Islam with suspicion in the name terrorism, then it pains a lot. Those who mingle this terrorism with Islamic Jihad, they first need to understand the meaning of Jihad. “What actually this Jihad is?” It is very unfortunate that many of Muslims too don’t know the correct concept and meaning of Islamic Jihad and they too do give same explanations and definations of Islamic jihad what other anti-Islamic elements are doing to deteriorate the image of Islam.

ISLAMIC JIHAD:

The word ‘jihad’ comes from the root Arabic word, “ja’ahd” meaning to struggle or to strive. Many times while speaking in Urdu we use a word “jaddo-jahad” meaning self striving. In Islamic perspective the word jihad means to struggle against an evil for the establishment of truth and justice. Anywh

ere in this world for the establishment of peace and prosperity in any society, it is quite necessary to prevail first - truth, justice and honor to human rights. Just look at your history then you will be come to know that whenever in the past if bloody sheds spread or wars been taken place – the one and only reason behind those was “injustice”. Injustice prevails where truth has been rejected… human rights have been crushed and cursed. So, in such kind of situations Islam calls for Jihad. Now who is there in this world who opposes such jihad comes out for the establishment of truth, justice…? If one who does so, then he must not be a human but a devil.


EUROPOL REPORT, 2010:

Most of us may be aware with the name of “Europol- European Police Force”. Europol works for the establishment of peace by tracking and acting against any terrorists activities in the world in collaboration with about more than 100 countries. Its main center is in Hague in Netherland. Europol has just released one report in January, before few months, which is quite important to understand and re-analyze the terrifying situations in the world now a day. As this report has come from an international anti terrorist organization, collaborative with more than 100 countries, so about its authenticity and transparency creates no doubt anymore. In this report, Europol has confirmed and accepted that today behind the terrifying situations of terrorism in all over the world, Muslims have their hands in only 0.04% incidents. This is not me, but Europol is saying so. Europol has reported in its report as headlining with, “All terrorists are Muslims, except the 99.6% which aren’t…” www.loonwatch.com [28th January 2010]


Europol has earlier also undisclosed the fact of hypothetical Islamic terrorism frequently repeated by media. In its report in 2009, Europol has stated on page number-09 as,

“Since today, Islamic terrorism has been sought as a danger for the world, but the reality that comes across is totally different. In the year of 2008 in European Union (EU) only one attack was done by Islamists fanatics in London, UK. Today in the United Kingdom, Christian separatists have been doing the majority of terrorist attacks. In Spain and France, Bask separatists and Corsican separatists are attacking with such terrifying attacks frequently…” (Pg.09, Europol report 2009)

Europol has also declared the report about the total terrorist attacks in between 2006-2008, as shown in graph. It states how many attacks have been led by which groups.

In this report it clearly mentions that, only very negligible percentages of 0.4% Muslim fanatics have been involved in the terrorist attacks, while 99.6% are peace loving.

According to FBI the various terrorist attacks been planned and put in action in between 1980-2005 in America, also showing a total different picture of reality than what has been promoting and propagating by western media against Islam adjoining it with terrorism. According to FBI database the statistics are as follow;

   Name of terrorist group                                  % involvement in terrorist activities

   Latino                                                                                       42 %
   Left wing extremists                                                              24 %
   Jews                                                                                          07 %
   Communists                                                                             05 %
   Islamists                                                                                   06%
   Others                                                                                       16 %

           (Source: FBI database: 1980-2005, 20th January 2010) www.loonwatch.com

You can see the % involvement of Islamic fanatics in terror activities in between 1980-2005 according to FBI, America. But why then only Islam and Muslims are been made scapegoats always and every time in the name of terrorism…? It is why because of western yellow journalism which don’t want to explain the truth to world and full with conspiracies against Islam and Muslims. 


One of the reports from CNN broadcasted on January 06, 2010 stated that the fear of Islamic terrorism due to American Muslims is an absolute myth and lie. (www.edition.cnn.com)

All reports and truths above mentioned are pointing towards us to care ourselves as same as from the media terror as the terrorist attacks from fanatical groups. Every lie and rumors create tension and bitterness amongst the people. Today it is a need of time to open such conspiracies and heinous propagandas to be created to bifurcate people living in societies. Truth should be well explained, well understood and should well accepted. We need to come out from a measured circle of biasness and should accept the broadness of mind, Else our all tries will be in vain while establishing peace and justice in the world.

TERRORISM AND MUSLIMS: UNMATCHED DEFINATION

Here I cant say that 100 % Muslims are true and trustworthy, but in every religion and community there must be some black sheep who don’t care about religious virtues and tenets. But due to such least people we can’t push whole religion or a community in to the bracket. If we do so then it is moronic act. In the whole world, only India is a country where one can find people believing in different religions freely, having different and unique culture and traditions, speaking hundreds of languages and though they are living together with peace and pride, respect each other and honor everybody. But, in this vast majority of good people, there are also certain people we can find who don’t care about our culture and civilization, due to them we can’t proclaim that individual religion or community as wrong or bad. Actually religion is not what people do, but it is what people ought to do. 

Since last many years, Indian government is suffering from insomnia due to ULFA, a radical Hindu terrorist group. In Punjab, KHALSA group is disgraced due to its terrifying terrorists movements, is a shikh fanatic group. List is long. Some of them I am mentioning here are as follow;

SL           STATE           TERRORIST GROUPS           MAJOR RELIGION THEY FOLLOW

01             Assam                             36                                    Hindu
02             Manipur                         39                                    Hindu/Christian
03             Meghalaya                     04                                    Hindu/Buddhist
04             Nagaland                        03                                    Christian/Hindu
05             Punjab                            12                                     Shikh
06             Tripura                           30                                    Hindu/Christian
07             Mizoram                         02                                    Christian/Hindu
08            Arunachal Pradesh        01                                    Hindu
09            Jammu and Kashmir     32                                    Muslim 

                                  (Source: Wikipedia. Terrorist groups in India 2010)

Now from above data one can easily come to conclusion regarding the terrorism activities in India. I haven’t mention here LTTE, another radical Hindu terrorist group, as it is a Sri Lankan terrorist group, but unfortunately it also runs its most of terrorist activities in India also. Recently Sri Lankan government crushed this fanatic group, but then also it is suspected that some of its top officials are still active in designing various terrifying attacks inside and outside the country. 

But the last conclusion I want to make here is that, religion can’t be ever bad or hasty. They are about people who don’t know fundamental of religion and acts against religious tenets, themselves maligning religion. It is a fault of followers rather than a faith. History is full of echo that Hitler and Mussolini, only these two people have slaughtered and lynched millions of innocents mercilessly. But have you ever read or noted that Christianity is bad or hasty or cruel…? Hitler and Mussolini were Christian but history never noted their heinous actions with the tag of their religion. Then why this is done with Islam only…? Why this double standard…? So, the fact is that this dirty game is being played by western media. They enforced common people to think in those directions only what they pointing out. I have a humble request for all of you that we must raise and cultivate our habits to accept anything after deeply analyzing and verifying it. Always be careful while building any of the pre assumptions. God Bless all of us.
