So the news today said that they have got some Muslims in Birmingham who were planning to do worse than the 7th July bombing in London.
Whether these guys are really guilty of the accusation or not is another matter but this reminded me of a feeling I have whenever I hear there are Muslims who try to kill innocent people in the name of Islam. I always feel that people like me are three times victim of these acts of terrorism:
A. As a member of the public I too am in risk of being blown up. Even if those who may blow me up think that they are helping me going to heaven I certainly have not asked their help for this and would like to live my life in full before departing this world.
B. I am sure that many of those guys who who kill innocent people look quite similar to me! I have beard and I am not originally from Europe. I believe people need to be open minded and do not discriminate, however I cannot help but feel that sometimes
people might look at me not in a very nice way.
C. The people who do these horrible crimes are doing it in the name of the religion that I adhere to and I love. So they are actually giving bad names to my belief.
Conclusion:
I am more keen than many others to either correct these misguided people or to stop them before they make people like me their three times victims.
