The Muslim countries of the Middle East are the worst victims of so-called Muslim terrorists. Keep aside the 9/11 attacks, according to a FBI report only a small percentage of terrorist attacks carried out on US soil between 1980 and 2005 were perpetrated by Muslims, compared to the percentages of terror attacks carried by Latino and extreme left wing groups. It’s a mere 6% and even this is debatable.
According to this data, there were more Jewish acts of terrorism within the United States – 7%. Reportedly, the extremist Jews who committed acts of terrorism based on their religious fanaticism in the likes of al-Qaeda.
A marked observation in this regard is: In the name of fighting terrorism the new leadership in America is becoming increasingly tyrannical. By repeatedly questioning and challenging the legality of his highly objectionable executive orders the US judicial system coupled with the people is now seeing a new dictator in the making. President Trump’s all too open policy of reconciliation with Russia is too dangerous for the free world.
Having followed the START Global Terrorism Database which has recorded all terror strikes within America spanning from 1970 through 2012 – it was learnt that only a mere 60 out of a colossal 2400 terror attacks were carried out by Muslims. Yet, the Muslims as a whole have been branded terrorists and number one threat to US security.
For the United States terrorism in the Middle East cannot be such big a security priority that all Muslims should be stigmatised, forgetting that Muslim countries are also fighting ISIS terrorism side by side with America.
Great hope lies in the fact that the American people and the judiciary refused to accept the ban on Muslim entering America. The American people are welcoming the Muslims at the airports. Mr Trump’s vicious propaganda against the Muslims has created the opposite and sensible reaction.
The brave role played by the American people and its judiciary will be helpful for the Muslims to fight ISIS terrorism against the West more solidly. ISIS will not have much to show the West’s discrimination against the Muslims for targeting them as terrorists. But as terrorists they are not Muslims and not working for the good of Muslims.
But Mr Trump remains a threat to America’s greatness. His problem is he himself and it is unbelievable to make him worthy leader of the great American country. ‘America first’ policy cannot make him the leader of the free world. America for Americans is no greatness.
