Why are Muslims synonym to terrorism?

[Douglasyukanov]

Terrorism should not have been generalized with the faith of a person.
Yet, muslims or the follower of Islam are looked as a terrorist around the world. (we might not but the majority of world does.)
What could be the reason for such stereotype?

I think the reason is the wrong news and tend to cornering the religion of Islam, many news media that disclose hoax news and news about terrorists are always linked to the religion of Islam, if there is news about terrorism that happens always in targeting the religion of Islam, even though many terrorism that happened not because of the religion of Islam or any other religion.

You need to know more about ISLAM, what does it look like. Is there any history says ISLAM brutally kills someone else. Even in the battle, The Prophet Muhammad SAW told to not kill any women or children and the most unreasonable mindset of human, don't step on the plants, this small things is forbidden. The enemies of Prophet Muhammad SAW has already recognize the religion itself, they are admitted it. Islam is the peaceful religion, and it is in the straight way. Why those who killing regardless whether women and children don't say as a terrorist.

If there any muslim that does something wrong maybe you can ask our ulama. People are wrong because of their unknowledge.

Is there any belief that just ignore the slaughter?

There are some resons why these stereotypes exist.

To see these examples, do a search for “Skeptics Annotated Quran” and when you get to that page click on the “Intolerance” link on the right.

Like any other religion it has also good teachings. but put everything in balance and see how that goes.

Even though terrorist is a new word these problems exist since long ago.

This would summarise the quran for you. If you don't believe the source, please verify yourself. A lot of quran available online.

OK. Agreed. But could you please give me the names of a few Jewish terrorists? Or for that matter, could you please give me a few names of non-Muslim terrorists, who justified their atrocities based on their religious book? I am sure that you won't be able to name anyone. And that is exactly the difference between Islam and the other religions.

I think because in there Quran they teach that they should kill christians(i dont know for other religion)because they can get a reward for pleasure in heaven. If you commit suicide bombing and a lot of people killed then your reward will be great. You can have celestial drink or virgin females in heaven. So they killed people because of the Gods Word and also for themselves when they die.

[Samboo]

The teaching affects a lot.
Today the world has left behind the religious teaching and are taught about science and technology.
But still in the closed society of Islam, teachings like Jihad are being taught. They are brainwashed and can't think out of the box.
They do need modern form of education, that will widen their scope of thinking.

Most of the terrorist groups terrorist are Muslims. But we can't say that all Muslims are terrorist. Because of this terrorist groups other innocent ones are also blame. Every religion give message of peace. The young ones are misguided to attach for their peace . This is the reason why Muslims synonym to terrorism.

[astrid.uchiha24]

you can say isis which are islam became the famous terrorist group because of media, it is sad to hear guys like you are pertaining muslim as terrorist, there are a lot of terrorist group out there associated with other religion so i am not convince that being a muslim makes you a terrorist, in some ways you can blame media since most of the groups they are reporting on national news are mostly muslims but dont you know that isis itself does not all of its members are muslim? they are recruiting all over the world.

[frmracc]

because most of that suicide bomb are from muslim people.

Maybe because most of the terror attacks in history involved Muslims. But we cannot actually say that Muslim is synonymous to terrorism because not all attacks were made by Muslims. I do not and will never share the same faith as them, but this stereotyping is a bit unfair for them. So let’s not generalize and just be objective..

Stereotypes get form based on available information in the brain to help us make quicker decisions. It's a brain defense mechanism and it's there to help and the use of stereotypes it's a good thing, can't really enumerate all the times a stereotype thinking saved me from danger or doing stupid things.

Fear mongering. Every instance of Muslim violence is sensationalized. It sucks because I'm friends with a few Muslims, and they hate these terrorists as much as we do, if not more.

Do they share their feelings on social networks or just with you, privately?

I think it has become a stereotype because the media portrays it and we have been led to belioeve that all terrorists are islamic in nature when in reality islam condones this act and that terrorism knows no religion and respects no stereotype. Terrorism aims that people be divided and fear the islamic people so that they can be targeted and spread lies and dissent that when they strike we are a world divided. That is why it is very important that we know the difference of the two.

saw a live on facebook on Al Jazeera news profile or channel, whatever about the some london attack. there we're some emoticons with sad faces or anger but mostly likes. waves of likes flowing on the screen. just way to many likes even if every terrorist was online and clicking like.

[nwahshearthiad]

I think it is because of the news, some of the members of certain terrorist groups are muslims, and people mistook it thinking that muslims atw terrorist but not all terrorist are muslims.

[EUROPEANTURK]

Muslim mean is who choose believe to islam and muslim mean is not terrorism for me . I thing who kill someone for some reason they are terorist for me and its no relation to any religion .
