The Truth about Muslims
How would you like it if someone came up to you and called you a terrorist? It would not make you feel very good would it? Well, this happens a lot with the people of my religion. Just because the people who caused the devastation of 9/11 happened to be Muslim, does not mean that we are all terrorists. The religion of Islam is one of the most peaceful religions in the world. We as Muslims do not tolerate violence at all. Those people that attacked America on 9/11 were extremists, they may have called themselves Muslims, but they were not. What irritates me is that most people don’t understand that.
A lot of people believe that since the attackers were Muslims that all Muslims must be terrorists as well. A quote from the Quran says that “if you kill an innocent person it is like killing the entire humanity.” This quote is one of the principles that Muslims follow which makes us very peaceful people. Also, that means we would be going against all that we know. This quote also proves that the terrorists of 9/11 were not really Muslims because they killed so many innocent people. Many people think that Islam is a religion, but it is not. Instead, it is a way of life. The Quran says that everyone is born a Muslim. But this does not mean you are actually Muslim. It means that you know right from wrong.
