As salamu'alaikum,

According to dictionary.com, the word terrorism means:

1.	the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.

2.	the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.

3.	a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.

It's been popular to attribute this terrorism-terrorist thingy to the Muslims thanks to Mr. Bush after 9/11 and Afghanistan and whatnot. It's like, the first thing that comes across your mind when you hear this word terrorist is a bearded guy who blows himself up in the name of jihad. What's funny (at least to me) is the first thing that came across your mind when you heard the word terrorist back in the 90s (Cold War era) was Russians, and then Arabs in particular, and then Asians specifically the Vietkongs after USA's embarassingly great loss there.

And I totally agree with you, the word terrorism is being abused, brutally.

well the terrorists invent by the one who hates islam and the truth so those poeple who invent separation between the muslim poeple they know better thats its create fitnah between the ummah so those  poeple happy when they see devation in islam and made when they see islam united but muslim poeple should no better its impossble in islam to be more than one beze since two it will be a fitnah and the poeple who say that word they have knowlege about it , the mulim should have knowlege about theire islam and come united in there relegion

the real terrorists were the ones who attack palestine,kosovo, lebanon,iraq, bosnia n many moreeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!

Human rights  = Islam   Because ALLAH know what ist the best for the Human. He is the creator of us. So he give us the Islam as the way.

KARACHI: Time running out for Israel, says scholar

KARACHI, June 29: The Urdu translation of a book, Jerusalem in the
Qur'an, authored by Islamic scholar Imran Nazar Hosein, was formally
launched at the Karachi Press Club on Friday.

The book, titled Al-Quds aur Ikhtitam-i-Waqt (Jerusalem and the End of
Time) in Urdu, has been translated by Mohammad Jawed Iqbal, while Mr
Hosein has come from the Caribbean island country of Trinidad and
Tobago to speak on the occasion.

The author said the basic purpose of the book was to explain that
Islam had a different view of the historical process as it pertained
to the Holy Land (Jerusalem).

"It is one in which time is fast running out for Israel. The Sea of
Galilee will soon run dry! Jesus will return! And his return will
witness the destruction of the state of Israel," said the author, a
pupil of Karachi's Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies who also
studied at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva,
Switzerland.

Translator Jawed Iqbal said he was hugely inspired by the scholarly
approach and eloquence of Mr Hosein, which persuaded him to translate
the book into Urdu. He said the book has already been translated into
many European and Asian languages and stirred huge debates in the US,
Europe and elsewhere in the world.

According to the organisers, Mr Hosein has written more than a dozen
books on Islam, of which Jerusalem in the Qur'an has become a
bestseller.

Mr Hosein said Jerusalem and the Holy Land should be dearest to all
hearts - as dear as Makkah and Madina - and the struggle to liberate
the Holy Land from the control of Israel should be the dearest of all
struggles (of liberation) for the Muslims.
