Religious Extremism and Terrorism

$17

The link between religious extremism and terrorism seem obvious. Religious extremists are willing to murder because they believe that sanction violence in the service of God. They have no sympathy for their victims because they saw those victims as animes of their religion and their God. And they are ready every time to sacrifice their own lives because they expect huge and immediate afterlife rewards because this world for them is temporary and God sends them to their worships and spent their lives according to God’s instructions in that they charry pick the God’s instructions and kill the innocents because of afterlife rewards in form of martyrdom.

In Pakistan, many Pakistani extremists misuse the blasphemy law and kill the innocent’s people which do not commit any blasphemy act such as a bank guard killing the manager in Punjab, and a Landlord from jacobabad Sindh killing a young man because a young man didn’t pay one-month rent and landlord shot him and declared as blasphemy act. Many extremists torture and kill the women because of the independence of getting jobs but mostly extremists kill the women for the sake that they are spreading behave.

Because of these religious extremist activities and terrorist acts, the impact on the state hit massively no other country willingly invests anything if the extremists are active in the state because they don’t want any risk in the trade.

Why peace environment of Pakistan is violated?

In my opinion, Pakistan’s peaceful environment is violated because of their bad policies, I have interviewed one senior social worker and he said “ before Pak Afghanistan war or “War on terror” Pakistan’s environment was not as bad as after the Pak fight war the USA after that war many terrorist groups active in Pakistan and start bombing and attacks on Pak army and civilians in that time Pakistan lost 50,000 soldiers and civilians to fight against those terrorist groups and about $35bln cost those proxy wars and Pakistan’s GDP crack from 22.3 to 11.7 that was a massive attack on Pakistani peace environment where they were fighting with USA and USA promise that we will give $1.3bln every year as aid and after few years they stop the aid funding and Pakistan become the nation who was betrayed from USA and Pakistan become the nation of terrorist feeding and in that way Pakistan’s peaceful environment is violated.

Muslims against Muslims:-

Muslims are followers of Islam and Islam teaches them to live in peace and brotherhood but in the last decades, Islamophobia is raising fastly which encounter the Muslim brothers with each other. I have interviewed this topic to religious scholar from our town and he said “ The religion Islam is growing fastly in all over the world he added that I have read an article that about 2050 Islam will be the leading religion and if Islam will become the leading religion, then western countries afraid of Muslims that they will kill the non-muslims as the name of ALLAH. In that contrast, the western countries start propaganda and spread clashes between Muslim communities as “ Firqawariat” such as suni Shia, Wahabi, and he further said that they are unfortunately bit successful from their policies and we fighting Firqawariat war from last decades and every year they sponsor any bomb blast or attack any Firqa and blame on other Firqa so that they will fight with each other. One another person whom I have interviewed said that “ Muslims are not terrorists those who are terrorists they can’t be the Muslims because Muslims is the religion of peace and prosperity but Europe wants to defame Muslims by giving fake allegations of terrorist and violent activities allegations to show the world that Islam and Muslims are not peaceful. He further added that a few years ago a program run by Muslim scholar Dr. Zakir Naik in which he invite the Muslims and as well non-muslims to admire Islam and in that many people from Hinduism and Christianity and other religions they become Muslims the ratio of becoming Muslims was increasing and Europe didn’t easily digest that activity and then their officials met with Dr. Zakir Naik and told him if you want preach the Islam yes you do but don’t air this show on TV and media platforms because in that many other people on TV screens they are influencing and become Muslims so that you have to of this show from the air on TV and media platforms and Dr. Zakir Naik didn’t accept their demands but unfortunately after few time the secret agencies and fake allegations hit Dr. Zakir Naik he became deprived of his own country India to another country. So the actual thing is that European want to clash between Muslims from any perspective either Firqawariat, bomb blasts, social inequality, etc. To defame Muslims in the world.

Why Pakistan is observing or observing religious conflicts in which madrasas and mosques attack?

Religious conflicts start in Pakistan after the incident of 9/11 when Al-Qaida, TTP, and other terrorist groups were active in the incidents. After that incident USA want to vanish the terrorists from the world he attacked Afghanistan a told Pakistan that is you with us are terrorists and Pakistan said I’m with you in this way Pakistan was ready to enter into multiple conflicts such as religious, terrorist, etc. Pakistan is or was facing religious conflicts because the United States believes that madrasas are the root causes of Terrorism. In the early years, the United States spent $Hundreds of dollars to spend on education especially on science subjects so that Pakistanis can take interest in science and leave the Madrasas to study but that plan didn’t work and the USA was worried about Madrasas.

One person whom I have interviewed on this topic said that “ early when terrorist attacks on the United States and USA army came back to Afghanistan and Pakistan to fight with terrorists they saw some madrasas where terrorists teach the children jihad and brainwash their in that perspective they thought that every madrasas and mosque to use for terrorist activities and brainwash the children against other religions that’s why united states had sponsored attacks on mosques and madrasas”.

One local journalist said that “ Mainly religious conflicts start because of to damage other religions in that situation politics play a vital role such as any incident that is against any other religions faiths and that will spread hate and propaganda with each other in that the chances of clashes, war situation in the state, roadblock, traffic block, economy destroy these are the causes and well sponsored and managed by authorities by officials and these situations happened in Pakistan many times.”

Religious conflicts happened because of un-education and that led to intolerance where they can not afford one word against their set beliefs.

Conclusion

With the help of many people whom I have interviewed, I know why this society is disorganized. Religious extremists are blunders for our society they give us the only negative mindset that without violence there are nothing solutions for anything. I admit that every religion has its faith and belief system which can not be denied and because of a few bad people from any religion you can’t make a statement on whole believers and that is the case with Muslims. Many people whom I interviewed said that Muslims are not terrorists if anyone is a terrorist he can’t be a Muslim because Muslims Iman’s faith is the peace brotherhood, not violence.
