FIGHTING BACK IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS TERRORISM

Non-muslims start to fight with muslims. We, muslims, fight back so as to protect our mosque and our muslim people. This kind of fighting is not to be considered as terrorism since we fight so as to protect ourselves and our religion.

Terrorism is different from us since they start to fight even at the time when non-muslims do not start fighting with them.

Terrorism stirs up problem and trouble in the society. However, moderate muslims do not fight when non-muslims do not start fighting with us. You could see the discrepancy between us.

Terrorism does not want people to repent to become muslims and they only encourage muslims to kill and kill and they are happy when they see non-muslims lying around dead. However, moderate muslims want to preach to non-muslims so that more and more will become muslims. We do not kill non-muslims and we want to wait for their repentance. We want to show good conducts to them that they would return to Allah.
