In response to pic (left) bearing msg " science flies you to the moon, religion into skyscrapers" which I found on internet and I believe related to Islam and the 911 tragedy.
It is very unfortunate that Islam, the religion of peace, hope, harmony, goodwill and brotherhood had been badly tarnished by the perpetrators of various terrorists acts and barbarism as seen on Sept 11, 2001.
There are good people as well and bad people in any religion and Islam is not an exception to that.
In any religion there are cults and extremists who has deviationist ideology trying to kidnap the religion as well as its followers. The word Jihad has been widely misinterpreted.
Through the actions of some elements, the western world visualizes a wrong concept of Jihad (Holy War). The word Jihad conjures up the vision of a marching band of religious fanatics with savage beards and fiery eyes, brandishing swords and attacking the infidels.
Jihad in Islamic terminology means to make an effort, to endeavour and to strive in a noble way. Over the centuries this meaning of Jihad has been obliterated or at least diluted. The critical juncture in the Islamic world requires reviving and recapturing the true and pristine meaning of Jihad.
