Peace and religion.

"Isn't your religion based on peace?", said Sabs with an expression similar to the D:> emoticon.

Every religion is based on peace. Well not every. I don't really know about every single religion in the world. But the major ones: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Hindu, Jewish, etc.

are all based on peace right?

Explain to me then what's up with the KKK. I'm sure back then people were also saying "Isn't your religion based on peace?". It's not based on religion but still, they killed Jewish people. So it's kinda based on religion + white supremacy.

Anyway, you have to understand a few things. Our brain and body has been specifically designed to stay away from things that hurt us. To have a defense system, fight what is not good for us. Our immune system fights away viruses. It's all natural.

So when there are people barging into your homes during dinner (or whatever it is that you can call dinner, since you are not allowed to leave your house due to house arrest), killing your brother, arresting your father and some bastards even dare to rape your sisters when they are to same so-called soldiers who were sent there to help you gain peace...

wouldn't you feel something? Would you feel anger? Injustice, pain, frustration?

What would you do then. Sit silently? No. You decide to do something for revenge.

Our emotions take over. Our mind is no longer functioning properly. Sure, your religion tells you no, don't resort to violence, try and make some kind of deal or something.

Lol deal. Sure sure. Your whole family is dead, you have nothing to live for and no future to look forward to. Make a deal.

There are times when logic is not present. Emotion takes over. There are things that we don't know about that happens over there. Something personal. Nothing can be explained.

What about those people that say they're doing it for Islam? What about them? JIHAD JIHAD and all that.

First of all, there are many forms of jihad. By even wearing a hijab when you are not allowed to, it is considered jihad. It's not all suicide bombing.

Secondly, refer to above. Emotion takes over. Some overly-religious-till they're-not-actually-religious-anymore egoistic people could've convinced that guy to wear a bomb.

I'm tired of people asking me 'Isn't Islam based on peace?'. All I can say is yes. Yes it is. But not all people practice Islam correctly.
