Response to Nathan Tieu's Revenge Attacks

 "I find that these ‘revenge attacks’ horrendous because this is more of a reason for more violence." 


This quote is from Nathan's recently posted blog. In his blog post, he explains how he feels that the "revenge attacks" are pointless and only brings forth more violence. I have to say that I completely agree with his opinion in this matter. To be honest, only uneducated idiots would think about getting revenge on innocent people. First and foremost, the man that was murdered was NOT Muslim. Secondly, the man was Indian, not even of middle-eastern decent. It amazes me that the murderer would actually shoot an innocent human being just because he was wearing a turban.... seriously? Did he think that killing another human being would justify anything? 




Another thing that pisses me off is the fact that the media always links "muslims" and "terrorists" together. Over the summer, I got a sort of enlightenment from one of my muslim friends who actually practices the religion regularly.
He explained to me that in the muslim religion, whoever defies the creed after knowing it, will go to hell. Having stated this, does it make sense that terrorists are labeled to be "muslims" when people of the Islamic religion are actually a peaceful people? In fact, the words "terrorist" and "muslims" actually contradict one another. Some terrorists do label themselves as muslims, which means they KNOW the creed, have taken lives, and will ultimately end up in hell.


Because of this, we decreed for the Children of Israel that anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. And anyone who spares a life, it shall be as if he spared the lives of all the people. Our messengers went to them with clear proofs and revelations, but most of them, after all this, are still transgressing. - Quran Sura 5:32


This Quran verse clearly states, "We decreed for the children of Israel that anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people." So again, murder is definitely NOT a positive thing in Islam. Why does the media label terrorists as muslims, without having any knowledge of the religion. You would think they would do more research on the second biggest religion in the world   before disgracing the name of the Muslim people. Hopefully one day people will forget about the stereotypes and be more accepting torwards Islam. To all my Muslim people out there, I FEEL FOR YOU!
