I can no longer remain silent on this issue. I have to speak up because the hypocrisy and double standards in the way we discuss terrorism, religion, and global conflicts are becoming too obvious to ignore.
1. Terrorism should not be used as a label for Islam or Muslims.
Terrorism is an act of violence, not a religion. If a Muslim commits a terrorist act, hold that individual and any organisation involved accountable. Do not use the actions of a few people to condemn an entire religious population of nearly two billion people. The same standard should apply to Christians, Jews, and people of every other faith.
We must distinguish between the teachings of a religion, the actions of individuals, and the political interests that sometimes exploit religious identity.
2. We must investigate who finances, arms, and benefits from terrorist organisations.
When discussing Boko Haram and other armed groups, we should ask serious questions about their funding, sources of weapons, recruitment networks, and the people who benefit from the insecurity they create.
There have been allegations of foreign involvement, political manipulation, and the exploitation of insecurity for strategic interests. However, allegations that Western governments created or sponsored Boko Haram must be supported by credible evidence. We cannot fight misinformation with unverified claims. We must demand transparency and hold every proven sponsor accountable, whether local or foreign.
Terrorism does not thrive on ideology alone; it can also be sustained by money, weapons, criminal networks, and political interests.
3. Now, let us talk about Palestine and Iran. What exactly are we calling terrorism, and who gets to define it?
When Palestinians are killed, displaced, and deprived of basic necessities, why do some people discuss their suffering as though it is less important than the suffering of others?
When Iran is involved in a military confrontation, why do some people immediately frame the situation through the language of terrorism while giving less attention to the wider political and military context?
Let me be clear: attacks deliberately targeting civilians are wrong, regardless of who carries them out. Hamas does not represent every Palestinian, just as the actions of the Iranian government do not represent every Iranian. Equally, the actions of Western governments or the Israeli government should be judged by the same moral and legal standards applied to everyone else.
4. Human life should not have different values depending on nationality, religion, or political power.
If killing innocent civilians is wrong, it is wrong whether the victims are Muslims in Palestine, Christians in Nigeria, Jews in Israel, or people of any other background.
If attacks on civilians deserve condemnation, then we must condemn them consistently. We cannot call for justice when our allies are victims and remain silent when our allies are responsible for the suffering of others.
International law should not be applied selectively. Powerful countries should not enjoy immunity from accountability simply because they have stronger militaries, greater economic influence, or more control over international narratives.
5. My position is simple: condemn terrorism, expose propaganda, and demand accountability from everyone.
Do not tell me that questioning Western foreign policy means supporting terrorism. Do not tell me that defending Palestinian civilians means supporting Hamas. Do not tell me that criticising the Iranian government requires me to support every action taken against Iran.
These are false choices.
We can condemn Boko Haram, reject the killing of innocent Nigerians, criticise Hamas for attacks on civilians, challenge the Iranian government's actions where necessary, and still demand accountability for violations committed by Israel, the United States, or any other powerful state.
@funkeadewuyi_ When women were not allowed to drive, they should have obeyed the laws of their countries or left.
You're too dumb to understand the distinction between fighting for your fundamental rights in your land vs when you're a visitor. Even an ordinary bigot won't make this mistake
@Akin_Oladipo001@Peace_Makarr@Ifys_World Lmao you replied against my counter on "as far as they are Muslim". And I'm saying it's not about Religion.
And who says they deserve what they are going through? Comprehension issues? Some are more popular than others. That's the bitter truth, but one by one they will be free.
@SR4RM30@AtamalridaW@mariaa_awd@Aazadi_e_Afkaar Lmao, and a more indepth search would tell you that even if they are shia, theologically they are closer to sunnis that twelvers. You're not talking to a novice lol
@Chrisblin The delusion, thinking Isreal controls the US.
It's basically an American outpost, America finds the estate literally. Those "innovations" you attribute to them isn't of their own doing lol, those hqs can be in the US if they wanted them to, but that defeats the purpose
@Akin_Oladipo001@Peace_Makarr@Ifys_World Popularity. It's as simple as that. Whether you like it or not, some sufferings are more popular than others. That's the unfortunate place we find ourselves today. By the way all these places you've mentioned are Muslim majority so your religion agenda doesn't hold
@MasterMaliq That transmission is literally the chain of hadiths.
Please and please, find another thing to do and leave Islam alone. Drop your mask, we know what you are.
@StealthArabia@Ifys_World Lol, only Zionists and their dogs say Hamas started it.
Because they didn't act in a vacuum. Before October 7th, Palestinians were being killed on a daily. Isreal does not have a monopoly of violence, so do Saudi Arabia.
@Peace_Makarr@Ifys_World So he should praise the death of innocent people?
Two things can be true at once. Saudi is the oppressor here. The kingdom ans Saudi are different entities. How old are they again?
