know there's this idea in the minds of
people sometimes they articulate it
sometimes they don't is that you know
what they say okay okay all Muslims are
not terrorists 1.6 billion people in the
world are Muslim they can't all be
terrorists okay I'm accepting that I
understand you guys are not all bad but
all terrorists are Muslim that's
something that many people are thinking
in their mind they think that you know
what terrorism somehow is been mon ized
by Muslims is that the only terrorist
that exists in the world happens to be
Muslims there's something going on with
the religion you know something's not
right there aren't Christian terrorists
and atheist terrorists and Buddhist
terrorists and the problem with people's
beliefs is they're only getting their
information they have this in their mind
but it's not a reality they're getting
their information from what they see on
TV what they see on the news quote
unquote what this propaganda that's
being spewed about Islam usually has a
political objective it's usually tied to
some either money invasion of a country
some type of oil that you know we need
to go and take over from such and such
country and it's not the reality you
find terrorism is something which is
historical it's been practiced by people
of all religions and people who practice
no religion whatsoever and if you go and
you just analyze every single terrorist
incident that has ever taken place in
the last 100 years in the last 50 years
you find that it's not dominated just by
Muslims there are Buddhist terrorists
who are terrorizing Muslims in formerly
known as Burma in Myanmar right now the
rohinga Muslims are being terrorized by
them there was a Time magazine article
with a Buddhist monk on the cover saying
is this the new face of terrorism that
doesn't mean that all Buddhists are
terrorists but it means that there are
Buddhist terrorists out there are there
Christian terrorists absolutely you go
and check the FBI database and you find
how many terrorist groups exist check
out the army of God for example their
website is fully functional Army of
god.com you can check out what incidents
they've done Centennial Olympic Olympic
Park bombing several other bombings and
things like that there's a lot of
terrorism going on people don't know
about this I worked in a mosque where in
2002 the king fad mosque in color City l
Angeles was about to be bombed by the
Jewish Defense League the Jewish defense
league is a known terrorist organization
in the United States of America
according to the FBI now they caught
them before they blew up the mosque we
thank God that that happened but people
don't generally associate Jews with
terrorism they don't associate Buddhists
with terrorism they don't associate
Christians with terrorism because the
primary news source that people have is
usually something that's very very
biased and it's usually just seeing
these flashing pictures of this Muslim
guy angry guy with the beard and all of
a sudden there's no facts but you
conclude in your mind through these
pictures that you know what it looks
like all terrorists that I've ever seen
happen to be Muslim that's because the
only terrorist you've ever seen or known
about is coming from Fox News or CNN or
whatever other you know station that you
happen to be watching for your quote
unquote information about terrorism go
read a book about the history of
terrorism go and check and see how many
different terrorist incidents have
happened just in the United States of
America the capital building has been
bombed the uh the Pentagon has been
bombed the LA Times newspaper building
has been bombed who are doing all these
bombings for the last 100 years these
are not Muslims these are Americans some
of them Christians some of them atheists
some of them socialists some of them
Communists some of them people of
different religions it's very important
for us to zoom out and look at
statistics and make make us understand
how little we really know about
terrorism today and the history of
terrorism and the motives behind
terrorism so we can get this idea out of
our mind that whatever we see on TV that
just happens to be the reality of what
exists in this world so free your mind
from that
