When a Muslim commits a crime, the entire community is held accountable. “All Muslims are not terrorists, however all of the terrorists are Muslims,” is an acquainted refrain, even amongst those who are not self-proclaimed anti-Muslims. According to widespread Islamic opinion, even the violent beheadings of prisoners by ISIS terrorists like Jihadi John are blamed on their Muslim status rather than the individuals’ perversity
.
Let’s talk about the special privilege with an example. The white Christian extremist who flew to New York City to murder black men because "he was enraged by black men associating with white women" and hoped that murder would dissuade white women from dating black men,[1] the white Christian from Kansas who confused two Indian men for Middle Easterners and shot them after exclaiming, "Get out of my land!" The act of violence committed by an individual of other religion except Islam is not attributable to their religious faith. But why is Adrian Ajao's first conviction, for criminal damage, in 1983, when he was 18 years old, attributable to his Islamic faith? Was it the Prophet Muhammad who told him to start dealing narcotics when he was a teenager? Was it the Quran that inspired an intoxicated Ajao in 2000 to cut a man across the face, requiring more than 20 stitches? Was Ajao practicing jihad when he slashed a man in the nose in 2003, necessitating cosmetic surgery? Islam didn’t make him an evil person. He was already a vile piece of garbage.[2] The catastrophic growth in global animosity toward Islamic faith and Muslims is mostly represented in a wide range of negative tales about Islam in mainstream media, literature, and public debates.
The indiscriminate use of terms like ‘Islamic terrorism’, has left a huge number of people with the notion that the terrorists who happen to be Muslim exist because Islam, in some ways, approving of terrorism, leads them inexorably towards it. It is a dangerous fallacy that terrorism exists because of Islam- a cruel lie founded on ignorance as well as bigotry. There is no evidence of support for the present phenomena of terrorism in the Quran or the Hadis, which are records of the prophet’s words, actions, and silent acceptance.
Who do you picture when you hear the word ‘Terrorist’? There is more chance that it is not someone who is white or who belongs to another religion except Islam. The two coexisting narratives about terrorism in the world are “All the terrorists are Muslim,” and “All Muslims are terrorists.” Words are powerful and therefore how the words being used matters greatly. The media continues to play an important role in opinion formations as well as to set an agenda on how important certain topics are. Mistakes can mislead public opinions and the media have a great responsibility to make sure that religions and communities are depicted fairly and accurately. The portrayal of Muslims and Islam in all mediums of media has contributed to Islamophobia around the world.
It is very important to know that Terrorism is a political phenomenon not an Islamic issue.
