America Vs Terrorists

[Shahjehansoomro]

The terrorists are mostly known to be the extremists like Taliban, ISIS, and Al Qaida etc. whereas America is known to be a superpower country of the world.

If we take a history of terrorists, they are mainly either Arabs or Afghans. The head of Al Qaida like Usama bin Laden who was killed by US forces during operation near Afghanistan, was supposed to be from Saudi Arabia. Likewise most of the Taliban, ISIS, and Al Qaida are from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Afghanistan etc.

They got implicated in many terrorist activities like attacking the World Trade Center at New York, Pentagon Headquarter and other parts of the America. Moreover they got involved in suicide attacks and reckless firing on innocent people at restaurants, hotels, embassies etc thro’ out the world.

Having said that the terrorists were used to be the friends of America long time ago. Even they visited White House during one of US presidents’ regime.

America got solid help from them to end the superpower of the Russia during the Soviet-Afghan War over nine years making it Cold War or proxy war from 1979 to 1989 in Afghanistan.

The terrorists who are known to be the extremists for years were backed by America to defeat Russia in Afghanistan. Eventually US succeeded in defeating Russia through these terrorists ending superpower of Russia.

After having succeeded, America had differences and confrontations with the terrorists owning to something thus they became the enemies of each other. Since then the terrorists pretended to be on “Jihad” against Western world and especially against America. Moreover they got involved in the terrorist activities throughout the world jeopardizing and defaming the Muslim religion.

Apparently they have been having wrong concept of “Jihad”. The “Jihad” actually means to fight in the name of Allah and struggle or fight against enemies of Islam. The religion Islam doesn’t ask Muslims to force non-Muslims to accept Islam religion. We Muslims are supposed to place facts like right and wrong things before non-Muslims then it’s up to non-Muslims whether he/she accepts Islam religion or not.

Precisely when the word “Jihad” was first introduced to the Muslims in very early ages of the world, we Muslims used to have battles and wars in that era, but the situation is different now.

There are different countries with their sovereignties in the world now, they have forces to fight or defend and secure the country. They have rules & regulations, law & order situations so the terrorists having Jihad against any country is absolutely wrong.

America fought wars against these terrorists invading Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Syria and Yemen got also affected following the war against terror. The question is how long will America stay in Iraq and Afghanistan? Or how long will they be having differences with these terrorists? American troops should go back to their homeland.

The best way is to have dialogues with the terrorists now, bring them on table. Clear their concept of “Jihad” what they have is different according to the Muslims and end the differences and confrontations with them. Take confirmation from them not to involve themselves in the terrorist activities either against US or rest of Western world again.
