Terrorism is the use of violence or threats to convince an individual or group to do something. 

This is a huge issue in the world. Some people are too judgmental about certain terrorism acts that they are accusing all the other innocent people. For example, in 9/11, the act was executed due to a religious reason, and now some Americans are thinking that Muslims are “bad” people. To their surprise, only 4% of Muslims are terrorists. We should not, in any way, think that all Muslims are terrorists, or that all terrorists are Muslims.

Some Americans are also thinking that Islam is an idea of violence, or war. It is not. Islam is the complete opposite; it’s meant to be peace. In addition, the term Jihad, which people think nowadays is a holy war for Islam, it is also wrong, Jihad is the struggle on Earth for the sake of good.

I think the real problem is about the violence. We cannot stop violence using violence, only peace can. Using violence and try to “make things right” or “prevent further acts of terrorisms” is non-ideal. Violence will only bring more hatred and from that bring more violence.

I have this quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I want to share with you

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it… Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate…. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; Only love can do that.”— Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The post after this will be a music video, in the music video, the rapper (Lupe Fiasco)'s second verse, contain very interesting lines that I think, in my opinion, is really true. 

Now you can say it ain't our fault if we never heard it

But if we know better than we probably deserve it 

Jihad is not a holy war, wheres that in the worship? 

Murdering is not Islam! And you are not observant 

And you are not a muslim 

Israel don’t take my side cause look how far you’ve pushed them 

Walk with me into the ghetto, this where all the Kush went
