What do you do when the majority of world abhors you, what do you do when people look at you with a sense of suspicion, what you do when the people of your community are labeled as a bunch of terrorist? Well welcome to the world of prejudice. Through this post with reference to the Muslim community I want to confess a lot many things.I have taken this community as an example for highlighting the disease called prejudice people have for different things and for different people.
More than 90% of terrorist attacks in the recent years have been done by Muslims which is nothing new, we all are aware of that. What baffles me that people have invented a synonym for Muslim i.e. terrorist. It is because of some miscreants the entire community stands to suffer. This has resulted that people of this community are always under suspicion. The actions of these people are making the entire community to suffer and bleed.Some hardcore Islamic fundamentalist believe that Islam is the greatest religion. I loathe them for that because through the medium of religion they are spreading hatredness by condemning other religions and doing a great disservice to their own community. No religion is great or better than the other. Religion according to me is the road map to reach a common destination i.e. God, each having its own rules but to think that 1 religion is better than the other is a very preposterous thought. Goal is one; methods to reach Him are different.
We are living in a secular country where we pride ourselves to be secular aint it? many of us are educated, but in which standard of school or college have we been taught that one has to hate 1 community in totality for wrong doings of others. Not many people abhor this community openly, but trust me there are whispers of hatredness against them at all the time. I have personally known cases where Muslims were not allowed to buy flats in buildings which were Hindu dominated, and I have rarely come across Hindu-Muslim marriages. The suspicion is always hanging there unconsciously which makes it even more difficult to build trust.
God never made a difference when he created mankind. He has given everybody 2 legs, 2 hands, 2 eyes, red blood etc etc. Then when the creator does not make any differences who are we to label someone as good or bad, what right we have to pass judgements about people or their religions, surely the bad will be punished, but what are we doing by being prejudiced.Hatredness only breeds contempt, and world will continue to become much worse place than what it is now. Even animals and birds do not differentiate and we supposedly intellectuals are worst than them inspite of having the God given gift of brains.
Just give a thought to this:u were born in a particular community, your family is extremely religious, everybody in your family has a clean record and someday somebody treats you shabbily or calls you a terrorist for no fault of yours how would you feel? People we are children of 1 God, let us make Him proud of that and not make Him repent for something which is not even His fault. Let there be no prejudiced around. Let us stand united not just superficially but in a real sense of it and Inshallah tomorrow this world will be a better place to live in!!!!
