Insanity has taken over the world. Prejudices and dogmas have got bitter for some people with times. The ones who face the discrimination know at times what it feels to be so. People simply hate based on one’s language, ethnicity, religion, color, country of origin. They do not give a slightest thought that there are black sheep in every society.

As prejudices come up, we should also not lose out rationality and think why do people hate. As tot his, why do people hate Muslims? They aren’t mad to avoid or stay beware of them. If you look at the past, history of Muslims has made people beware. And where are they wrong if you put feet in their shoe?

Muslims have been known for atrocities against non - Muslims for a long period of time, especially in the medieval period. Muslims have a history of imperialism and not a single textbook dares to teach the facts of Islamic imperialism and Arab imperialism.

It is easy to criticize West and hurl abuses towards Britishers for their colonization. But, they at least accept criticism and let us teach in textbooks the truth. Muslim countries don’t. Crusaders, Iraq, Afghanistan wouldn’t have took place ever if atrocities against Westerners wouldn’t have happened.

At times, even the Ex - Muslims, who, may in the West keep Muslim names feel the tinge of discrimination at times. In Indian sub - continent, forget Pakistan and Bangladesh, but in India, good educated people also find it a risk to stay in company with a typical Muslim. The Indians, who have been one of the most tolerant in history have such notions too. and where are they wrong considering the history of India and the creation of 2 countries from it?

A child born in India, France or Burkina Faso (I would be glad if you know this country!), Gabon or USA is the same. The inherent emotions and basic needs of humans are the same. What shapes them is their ideologies. What does it take a 21 - year old who has a complete life in front of him, go and blow himself up in a bus full of travelers? An ideology. Youths are brainwashed in many a Muslim countries for that.

The promise for a reward of virgins in heaven is what it makes the FATA - youth blow themselves up. It is funny to see that those who encourage them to blow for the sake of dancing with virgins in heaven are the same people who vehemently oppose dancing with virgins in discos! Why not create a heaven here? Wouldn’t God like that? Humans are sacred, beliefs are not.

We must ensure that we do not harm or hurt humans, but constructively criticize all those ideologies that make sane humans lose insanity. India houses the highest number of poor and uneducated people (approx. 35 crore illiterate and all of them living below $1 a day), but have you ever found a civil war there? Have you ever found violent communal or caste clashes there that went on for years? the difference is in ideology. When education gains importance, a society becomes progressive.

Muslims should also look for an introspection. What kept them so backwards? They should allow criticism of their beliefs, the same way as others do and rationally analyze things rather than being dogmatic. They should allow criticism on Islam and also stop their barbarity.

Speak against hatred, violence and intolerance! Do not follow anything blindly. Stop the use of all oxymorons.
