Terrorism is one of the biggest challenges for India. Many part of India including, Jammu and Kashmir, Central India (Naxalism) and North-eastern States are affected with this problem. Terrorism in India has often been alleged to be sponsored by its neighbor Pakistan. However, Pakistan always claim that most of the acts of terrorism in its land are sponsored by India’s RAW intelligence service. India says that Inter-Services Intelligence of Pakistan is responsible for terrorism in India whereas Pakistan says India’ RAW intelligence service is doing all sort of terrorist activities in Pakistan. Most of the terrorists in India are from Islamic background especially in Jammu and Kashmir. This is basically due to unemployment and poverty in Islamic nations like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh etc.

In my opinion Islam is against Terrorism. a true Muslim cannot hurt any body forget about innocent children, men and women. A true Muslim should always follow the rule of forgiveness taught by the Quran and Holy Prophet. No one has a right to kill in the name of ALLAH and defame the religion of Peace. If any one found guilty of terrorism whether he is a muslim or non muslim he is liable to get death punishment as per Islam. All those who have killed our innocent non muslim brothers ( in any state of India) in the name of Islam are not Muslims, since their neighbors(whether a person or a house or a state or a Country) are not safe from them.

Let’s see what Quran and Prophet Muhammad says about Terrorism:

* Any one who kills any innocent human being is as if he has killed the whole of Humanity and anyone who has save a human being irrespective of caste, culture, religion or race, it is as if he has save the whole of Humanity. Al Quraan
* All muslims are brothers in Faith and all Human beings (Whether they belong to any religion or race, black or white) are brothers in Humanity. Al Quraan
* A person is not a Muslim if his neighbors( whether of any race or religion) are not safe from his deeds. Prophet Muhammed
* A True Muslim should respect the religions of his other non muslim brothers and sisters. Prophet Muhammed
* A True Muslim is a guardian and protector of his neighbors property, family, esteem (IZZAT), etc whether they belong to any religion or race, black or white). Prophet Muhammed
