To start
with, I am not a saint or a leader to lead a change. I am an average 22years
old boy for whom the world is still a small place to live. Through this
article, I don’t intend to make any change in the mindset of some hardcore
religious people. Having wrote this, I strongly believe that we are living in
an ecosystem. This article is a part of my efforts to save this ecosystem.
Through the eyes of a Muslim-
‘Ayeh!
Aatankwadi saale...ja Pakistan ja kutte’, this is how we are honoured in the
public. Some of the very basic stereotypes for my community and religion-
1. Under our
Burqa, we carry AK 47 and explosives for mass killing. Some eyes even convey
that I am a human bomb.
2. We have
zero tolerance for other religions.
3. We don’t
give birth to girl or boy, terrorist come out of our womb.
4. We grow
long beard to scare the shit out of people.
5. Madrassa
is a training camp where we learn every bad thing.
6. We eat
cow, goat and chicken because we are killers.
7. We don’t
belong to the mainstream because we cover our body and don’t wear skinny
clothes.
8. We are
not modern and broad minded because we don’t smoke and drink.
9. We plan
all terrorist activities inside Masjids.
10. We are
the sole creator of violence, all over the world.
11. We are
recognised from the length of beard and skull cap, not education and
achievements.
12. Our
festivals are all about killing animals.
13. We do
friendship with non-Muslims to convert them to Islam.
And
14. Quran
teaches us violence.
I don’t need
to explain what my religion stands for because people don’t deserve to know the
beautiful explanation of what my religion is!
