Why do buy into these Western propagation of Muslims as terrorists?
Is terrorism exclusive to Muslims.
I just saw another post of a person in the West damaging a Masjid. They didn’t call him a terrorist. Neither did they call the several attacks against Muslims, using deadly violence as terrorist attacks.
It was only the PM of New Zealand that had the presence of mind, and fairness to own up to the terrorist attack in her country.
The man with the knife could be suffering mental health problems, as a result of the situation among the ummah.
I’d have thought that the way to go was to determine his state of mind first before rushing to judgement and giving the enemies of Islam ammunition for their fight.
