the first thing that you have to remember is that not all non-muslims think that we are terrorists; there are only a few people who think this, and most of the time they dont think that we are a threat, but generally this small, ignorant group associate terrorism that they see in the media with Islam, and kiddies like us become scapegoats.[/quote]

Masha'Allah, very good point dude. But the thing is, the group of people that dont think we're terrorists doesnt seem so small anymore. my best friend and i are both, Alhamdulillah, hijaabis and we went to the cinema recently to chill out and watch The Chronicles of Narnia - the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (amazing movie with a lot of hidden messages XD) and, while we were getting popcorn, two 10 year olds came up to us and yelled "OH NO!! TERRORISTS! RUN OR THEY'LL SHOOT YOU!!" and then they ran away laughing. that hurt so much. to see ignorance in the eyes of 10 year old children... but the thing is, wasnt even their fault. they are completely uneducated because their main sources of info (corrupt media, corrupted parents, racially prejudiced schools consisting of ill mannered children who are also uneducated due to the same sources) are total shams. and that is OUR fault, us MUSLIMS that hide behind closed doors and refuse to tell others that BY THE WAY we arent what you think we are. okay, Numra and a handful of others stick up for themselves in RE lessons where the teacher is, unknowingly, telling everyone a media-ised point of view about Islam, but who else does??? when theres a show on tv called Gay British Muslims (yes, it was on channel 4 last night) and we all get the opportunity to call in and give our point of view, do we??? do we say 'excuse me?? kaom e lut!!' and correct them and, in the process, make the sources that those 10 year old children were basing their opinions on a little less corrupt??? none of us do!! and Numra is a very smart girl indeed for asking how exactly do we spread Islam and its beauty?

oh,wait a minute. i just realised something [B)]

why is the question: 'why are MUSLIMS blowing themselves up??' i stress on the words 'WHY ARE [i]MUSLIMS[/i] blowing themselves up'. THESE MUSLIMS ARE HUMANS, PEOPLE!!

does no one see the bigger picture?? HUMANS, people just like you and me, are going out on the streets and KILLING themselves in a disgusting, brutal and (self)destructive way. and people are asking why MUSLIMS are blowing themselves up??

pretend there arent any Muslims in the world and yet these suicidal bombings are still happening. theres got to be a reason behind it- and now, no one can say 'its because they're Muslims'.

why on earth would a 16 year old boy strap dynamite around his own waist at 6am one bright and cheerful morning, and then kill himself and a great deal of others at 1 o clock in the happy dappy afternoon???
 oh i dont know, maybe its because there are soldiers pouring into his country, raping his mother, sister, aunties, killing his father, brother, uncles, and then threatening to do the same to him. maybe its because he sees blood shed, murder, torture every day. maybe its because he hears bombs raining down on his own people, hears women screaming, the din of guns and rifles and the unmistakable sound of yet another corpse hitting the floor. maybe its because he hasnt had anything to eat in only Allah knows how many days, hasnt drank clean water since a week ago.
wait a minute. no no that CANT be the reason. it CANT be because he hasnt got anything to stop the green tanks rolling over little children playing with stones in the street. it CANT be because killing himself and a few soldiers around him with a bit of amunition that hes found is his only way out of this hell-on-earth.

its got to be because he's a MUSLIM.

do you see where im going with this? the point im trying to make is that ive had too many cookies.

no im kidding

the point that im trying to make is that a Muslim can go and die and the only thing people ask is: whyd he blow himself up, but if a youth of any other racial/religious/ethnic background does the same thing, chances are (and, yes, i might be wrong and please dont take offence by what im going to type) that people will suddenly get scared out of their socks and start sending their 16 year olds to psychiatrists at the slightest hint of a suicidal thought.

i have gone COMPLETELY off topic.

Wassalam .xXx.
