Depoliticising Islam: We have to be bold enough to arrest the potential disaster for our country now, before we turn ourselves into the crisis-laden Arab world including the northern Syrian city of Raqa. — AFP
UNFORTUNATELY, modern international terrorism has evolved in such a way that it is branded as “Islamic terrorism”. This labelling itself does not help to undermine terrorism and hence I would prefer to use the term “Islam-related terrorism” to convey the idea that such terrorism exploits the theology of Islam.
“Islamic terrorism” on the other hand puts the entire Muslim community into a bad light and wrongly equates Islam with violence – and hence, Islamophobia.
