9/11 - War on Terror

The ghastly 9/11 is a dark day in history that witnessed the most inhuman attacks on the humanity at large that led to the destruction of the American Twin-Towers.

The worst attack on humanity after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki changed the global picture outright as it killed thousands of innocent civilians, and it also shattered the myth of American invincibility. However, it was unfortunate that the bunch of terrorists, being misguided, caused such monumental destruction in the name of Islam. Islam, on the other hand, is a religion of peace, tolerance and harmonious co-existence. Since 9/11, however, the world has completely changed as George W. Bush launched a Global War on terror. And his invasion of Iraq paved the way for a genocide. Moreover, that war on terror extended to Afghanistan. Pakistan, being the most trustworthy ally of the US, let the Americans to enter its territory and bomb suspected areas and kill innocent civilians. This has raised questions regarding America's intent. The whole world, since 9/11, has witnessed a kind of Muslim-hatred infused in the war on terror enterprise. Intricate issues between Palestine and Israel are still lying uncared for, unresolved; rather, as it is found, Israel is playing a role of American interest holder in the Middle East from its illegal outpost.

Today, after many years of intimidation of several kinds against the Muslims, discerning people with an unbiased wisdom tend to believe that the whole war on terror scenario has finally and brazenly turned out to be a war on the Muslims in general. Now it has become imperative that the war on terror be redefined so that we all can reach a peaceful state of living.At this point, however, it is to be made clear that we Muslims do not support any kind of terrorism on earth.

Thus no Muslim can afford to do harm to others, let alone human slaughtering; those few gone awry or misguided are enemies of Islam and the Muslims in all respects this is where lies the importance of the redefinition of the War on Terror.
