peep he's a non-muslim American writer
he's an American
researcher and he went through the
phenomena
of suicide bombing trying to explore it
and to reveal its secrets and in this
book he proved that Islam doesn't
motivate people to do suicide bombings
because actually
uh he went recording and researching the
uh uh all the suicide bombings that
happened within the lapse of 20 years
and he found that the Tamil Tigers of
Sri Lanka who are Hindus and uh some of
them are
atheists did a number of suicide bombing
operations equal to the number of the
operations that were done by Hamas Al
Jad is Lami andah all together so it's
not Islam that is motivating
this
also he discovered that the first people
to do that were not the Muslims of alqa
or of Hamas or of Al Jad islami or of
hisbah but rather the Japanese in World
War II the kamik kazis that was a type
of suicide
bombing uh so the most people who were
who who who are practicing this are
Hindus and the first people to do that
are Japanese probably
Buddhists not
Muslims number two he found
that if there
are foreign troops on the land of a
country the probability of having a
suicide bomber increases 11 times in
this
country which means that one out of
every 3 million people there can be a
suicide bomber in a country that has
foreign troops on its stand while one
out of every 34 million people there can
be a suicide bomber that's a chance of
having a suicide bomber in a free
country that doesn't have foreign troops
on its
land so talking about suicide bombing
bottom line it is refused it is rejected
it cannot be justified Muslims hate it
and actually it's a very terrible
phenomena that has to stop and we need
to stop it but we can't stop it
alone Muslims and non-muslims should
cooperate together and stop it and this
man has the solution in his
book just remove the occupation and
there will be no more suicide bombings
I'm not trying to justify it I said I
hate it I think it's unjustifiable it's
a terrible phenomena Islam doesn't
motivate suicide bombings but to stop it
we need to deal with the root cause of
it the other issue is saying that Jihad
equals holy war and we spoke about Jihad
before but I just want to comment on the
word holy war in Islam war is not
holy actually the word the term holy war
was introduced to humanity in the
literature of the Crusades but in Islam
war is not holy God Almighty even said
in the Quran
that war has been prescribed upon you
even though you hate
it but sometimes you hate things that
are good for you and sometimes you love
things that are bad for you Allah knows
and you know not so here the Quran is a
acknowledging that Muslims hate war god
almighty told us in the Quran a good
news and his pair it's that says and
Allah spared the Believers the fighting
which means that the good news is
fighting didn't take place so there is
so many verses in the Quran that deal
with this issue saying that Muslims
should not Resort number one to war but
rather to the PE peaceful uh means of
regaining back their rights but if they
couldn't regain back their rights
through peaceful means Unfortunately
they will go to war and the verse that
we mentioned before is crystal clear
that says so if they withdraw from you
and fight not against you and offer you
peace then Allah has opened no way for
you against them so Islam is a religion
of Justice in order to establish peace
the justice should Prevail first you
can't establish peace if there is no
justice and to establish justice you
should resort to Peaceful means first
but if you can't establish justice
through peaceful means unfortunately you
have to go to
war like that I concluded actually what
I think is that calling this film
obsession is is is very good because
it's the it's really the best name for
this film Obsession because I believe
all the speakers and the characters that
appeared in this film were really
obsessed with one thing the hate of
Islam
islamophobia that's what I believe and I
believe that people if people want to
build Bridges with each other they
shouldn't be doing that to each other
like that Muslims can also do a lot of
production about Christianity and
Judaism and other religions trying also
to demonize some terms here or there
like trying to demonize the term Jihad
and this really hurts people so much and
this is not the way to construct Bridges
between people and bridge the gap that
is really growing the people the
peacemakers should stand forth now and
join hands together in order to
establish peace on Earth there should be
Justice thank you very
muchay that was father Bridges
