No extremists and no terrorists as such.
No extremism and no terrorism as such.
It is certain ideology and faith that is extreme and terroristic
And it is such ideology or the notion
That make any one to be extremists and terrorists.
That make any one to be extremists and terrorists.
We simply forget this aspect
And wrongly focus on the external physical element
Named terrorists and extremists.
And wrongly focus on the external physical element
Named terrorists and extremists.
So, we sooth and encourage the poisonous ideologies and notions
That lie and live behind the screen
And tend to hate the poor innocent terrorists and extremists
Misled and misguided by the same soothed poisonous ideologies and notions.
So is the problem continuing
Untreated and unresolved..
Untreated and unresolved..
We don't cut the root of poisonous faith, notion and ideology
Of exclusivity and finality.
Of exclusivity and finality.
We tend to cut it from the branches,
We tend to cut the terrorists and extremists.
We tend to cut the terrorists and extremists.
We go only by cutting the throats of terrorists and extremists.
****************
A bottle is simply and only a bottle.
If the bottle is filled with poison,
It becomes the bottle of poison.
Very dangerous.
Problems is with the poison,
Not with the bottle.
Bottle is so innocent, so empty
Until and unless filled with any.
The bottle can be filled with honey too.
We need to address and destroy the poison
Than only the bottle.
Bottle can be used for good as well,
In the same manner it is used for bad.
We need not to hate the bottle,
The terrorists and extremists,
But the notion and ideology filled in them.
***************
Islam, originally, by its all available source books,
Is very dangerous and poisonous an ideology
Advocating only extremism, intolerance and terrorism
Just by claiming finality and exclusivity for it.
It excludes all other beliefs and systems
From being, and from the chance of being, right and true.
It declares and confirms, giving no chance for doubt,
Other beliefs and systems not to be followed at all
As it will lead only to the hell.
As it will lead only to the hell.
It has its own theory and claim that
It is the only path that can be right
Leading to God, truth and hence to paradise.
And it has also the claim that
It is the last and final path
It is the last and final path
From and to God.
It strongly claims Mohammed as the last prophet
And Quran as the last and final book from God
The humans can have and humans should follow.
No other book and person, as per Islam,
Can come after Mohammed and Quran
As true leading to truth and God,
To talk and seek truth and God,
To follow in life, as system of life,
Or with a better or different
System or understanding of life.
How more intolerant, extreme and poisonous
A religion and its faith can be than the way how Islam is?
What more is required to make one say
Islam is really intolerant, extreme and poisonous?
How can this kind of a religion
Teach its followers and believers
To be suiting to the pluralistic society,
To be able to cohabit and coexist
Accommodating and tolerating others
As equally true and good?
****************
This is why and how
Anyone who innocently and truly profess the faith of Islam,
By mistake or mostly by birth,
Thereafter by trying to interpret it
To escape from the duty of further seeking,
Automatically and naturally turns to be
Extremist and intolerant.
They simply tend and go for saving God and Prophet.
For sure, prophet and God cannot come to save them
From being extremists and intolerant
And from being unsuitable to cohabit and co-exist
With others in a pluralistic society.
