Terrorists
Have Deviated Both from the Established Humane Norms of the Social Ethics and
From the Enlightened Righteous Path of Allah
Main
Points:
1. Spiritual
Teaching of the Terrorists for Their Allegiance to the Ethics of Inclusiveness.
2. Terrorists are
nothing but deviated souls.
3. The
enlightened teachings of the Holy Quran and the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad Pbuh
has been thwarted by them.
4. Terrorists
have been guilty of killing innocent people, razing places of worship and
asking people to adhere to all that is not Islamic.
5. Terrorists
have been indoctrinated to act against the spirit of inclusiveness in a
well-planned way by the well-versed influencers.

Indoctrinated
Souls
Terrorists
are nothing but deviated souls. They have deviated both from the established
humane norms of social ethics and from the enlightened righteous path of Allah
and His Messenger Prophet Muhammad Pbuh. The enlightened teachings of the
Muslim's scripture the Holy Quran and Hadith of Prophet Muhammad Pbuh have been
thwarted by them. They have been guilty of all the social ethics established by
Allah Almighty. They have been guilty of killing innocent people, razing places
of worship and asking people to adhere to all that is not Islamic. Such
horrific and brutal ideology cannot be imprinted on minds in a day. They have
been trained in terrorist acts and wrong ideology after years of hard labour.
They have
been indoctrinated to act against the spirit of inclusiveness in a well-planned
way by the well-versed influencers. No one is a terrorist or a criminal by
birth. Dreaded criminals are also trained in a way they do not know when they
drifted away from normal life. Terrorists are the bigger criminals of society.
So, they are trained to divulge in anti-religious activities teaching them in a
way that puts them in a spot where they see and listen only to what is told and
shown to them by their masters. Such people who take to terrorism are
psychologically weak at heart and mind. They are identified and sent to places
where they are brainwashed to submission. Blind faith and submission to an
ideology make a man bereft of logic and reasoning. Such people lose the power
of choice and decision. They are transformed into mechanical dolls from human beings.
They stop seeing reasons and logic. Because when there is no reason or logic,
there is no question in their minds.
A child by
birth is prone to questioning. He learns because he questions. In religious
institutions, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian or any other faith institution,
students are required to listen and remember that what is taught to them. They
are taught to follow the teacher’s diktat without any if and buts. This takes
the beauty of life out of them. They are confined to the four walls of their
respective religious institutions. I have visited some madrasas and met small
kids there. They are transformed into dumb dolls. One will pity seeing them
looking into spaces. Their faces are emotionless in front of their teachers.
With time they get into such a submissive mode that they live like a machine.
(I used to visit madrasas to teach computer and English on behalf of the New
Age Islam Foundation). Children at this age are good at learning. There should
be a mechanism readied by the respective governments to teach them social
ethics that may guide them to being responsible citizens.
Brainwashed
Terrorists
Terrorism
exists and terrorists are brainwashed to kill and be killed is a
well-established fact. Terrorism is making innocent lives pay for their
brutality is also an undeniable fact. The whole of humanity is fighting against
this menace. Innumerable lives and uncountable amounts of money has gone to
dearth but there is no positive result. The world has exhausted all its
possible resources to control terrorism but has, by all means, failed in its
efforts. For the humane society, it is neither advisable to leave terrorism to
die on its course because till then their acts of brutality will get the humane
ethos out of the world order. Therefore, there has to be a method of getting
rid of terrorism. Terrorism is not a
danger to any particular religion or nation but the entire civilized society.
Hence, the entire world has to come forward and reverse the system of their
ideological beliefs in a manner it has been enthused into them. They have been
brainwashed by the wrong ideology so they will have to be taught the right
ideology of their respective religions.
No religion
advocates blind faith. They have been taught to follow the dictates of their masters
blindly. They will have to be taught to use logic and reasoning behind
everything they do, and everything they are taught. When they will learn to
reason they will leave their deviated path and integrate into the milieu of
society. The world has no dearth of spiritual and enlightened teachers who can
help them teach since the beginning of their life. Immature minds have been
used to create terrorists so immature minds will have to be blessed with the
spiritual essence of life from the religious institutions they are taught.
Reasoning
and Religion
The
terrorists of every hue are in the need of religious sympathy because they are
mentally ill and nothing more than living dead. Except a few who are on the hot
seats of life, enjoying the power of kings and ministers all the brainwashed,
roaming like zombies do not know what they are doing. These lowly placed
terrorists should be taught true religion and its divine attributes of
humanity. They should be brought to the divine knowledge of reasoning as all the
major religions of the world teach.
Holy
Quran on the Importance of Reasoning
“Do they
not ponder over the word (of Allah)” (Qurān 23:68)
“Do they
not ponder on The Qur’ān?" (Qur’ān 4:82)
Who hear
advice and follow the best thereof. Such are those whom Allah guideth and such
are men of understanding. (Az-Zumar: 18) — Pickthall
Then do
they not give thought? There is in their companion (Muhammad) no madness. He is
not but a clear warner - (Al A'raf: 184)
“The
parable of those who reject faith is as if one were to shout Like a goat-herd,
to things that listen to nothing but calls and cries: deaf, dumb and blind.
They are void of wisdom.” (Qur’ān 2:171)
“For the
worst of beasts in the sight of Allah, are the deaf and the dumb, those who
understand not.”
(Qur’ān 8:22)
Bible on
Reasoning
But
sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defines to
everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with
gentleness and reverence; 1 Peter 3:15
“Come now,
and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, - Isaiah 1:18
“Put Me in
remembrance, let us argue our case together; State your cause, that you may be
proved right. - Isaiah 43:26
...their
conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else
defending them, - Romans 2:14-15
Hindu
Scriptures on Reasoning
But that
which clings blindly to one idea as if it were all, without logic, truth or
insight, that has its origin in Darkness. — Bhagavad Gita, 18:22
Truth is
One, though the sages know it variously. — Rig Veda, 1.164.46
The
serenity of thought, gentleness, silence, self-control, and purity of
purpose—all these are declared as the austerity of the mind. — Bhagavad Gita,
17.16
Scholars
on Reasoning
“In
questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble
reasoning of a single individual.” ― Galileo Galilei
“Human
reason can excuse any evil.” ― Veronica Roth, Divergent
“As I have
said, you have no reason to trust me, and an excellent reason not to.” ― Robin
McKinley, Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast
“You may be
to call up the entire encyclopaedia, but a brain with no heart and no
reasoning ... well, nothing is more
meaningless.” ― Melissa de la Cruz, Masquerade
The feeling
is the voice of the body; reasoning is the voice of the mind; conscience is the
voice of the spirit. - Kenneth E. Hagin
Reasoning with self is the teaching of Islam
as well as other religions as is clear from the above-mentioned verses. All the
religions call their followers to create a logical mind that could understand
the reasoning of every step they take. This is because religions are a way of
life and a life without reasoning cannot be a life to adore. Religions do not
differ. We the followers of the religions differ when we use no reasoning and
thus do not understand the soul of the religion, we follow. Only logical thinking creates reasoning and
intellect.
If the kids
at religious institutions can be taught in supremacist ideology they can be
taught in inclusive mannerism of society as well.
And
Allah Knows the Best.
