A German Muslim scholar was asked on a live TV show about terrorism and Islam. He said:
Who started the First World War? Was it Muslims?
Who started the Second World War? Was it Muslims?
Who killed about 20 million Aborigines in Australia? Was it Muslims?
Who sent the nuclear bombs to Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Was it Muslims?
Who killed more than 100 million Indians in North America? Was it Muslims?
Who killed more than 50 million Indians in South America? Was it Muslims?
Who took about 180 million of African people as slaves, of whom 88% died and thrown in the Atlantic? Was it Muslims?
No, they weren’t Muslims! First, you have to define terrorism properly. If a non-Muslim does something bad, it is a crime. But ifa Muslim commits the same act, he is a terrorist.
First remove this double standard,and then come to the point!

He's right on point but has to understand that there's a reason why people call out Muslims. It's not because they're the only ones maiming people. Infact i don't think Muslims commit more crimes than people of other religions. I think it's mainly due to the fact that these terrorist attribute these acts of terrorism to serving Allah. If they can do whatever they do without bringing Islam into it then Muslims will not be stigmatized this much. These terrorists are spoiling the name of Islam and the islamic community has to come out in full force to condemn what they're doing. If the Muslim communities for example go out in their thousands in major cities of the world where the reside and protest against people who use the name of Allah to perpetuate this evil, then the public perception of Muslims will begin to change.
