Fanaticism and religion

(Arbia yasmeen, Mianwali)

A fanatic is one who stubbornly stick on his/her opinion wether it is wrong or right. Having no flexbility in his/her behaviour,considers himself a right one in the whole world.And he wants to oppose his opinion upon others forcefuly.Mostly this term is used for religion as"Religious Fanaticism"That a person having one belief,considers that only his belief is true one and other's are fake.Now a days fanaticism is labelled on muslims.Although this is intrigues of international media resulted of Islamis phobia but we also have committed blunders.I wrote this article for muslims to realize their present position in the world and avoid fanaticism if they fall in it.To raise sologan of humanity that is chief objective of Islam.It is revealed even from it's title "Islam" mean"peace" (peace,not specified for muslims but for all)

whenever in life , we come back to religion from life full of evil or dalliance we adopt radicalism.That I am only God fearer and torch bearer.If i am praying in mosque than other must be follow my life style too.If you are elder brother in home and suddenly under the influence of companions,viewing religiously documentries,or going through few religious book you adopt religious turn in life.You choose cynica attitude with your younger brothers and sisters. Then you turn off t.v,throw dvd in dustbin and mp3 to stop them from entertainment with this moto that it is prohibited in religion.You feel a sense of pride of being right and think that they are junior so can't understand their right and wrong,but you are torch bearer for them. This is not so influential and source of bringing deep rooted change.Because extremism and force regardig belief even is not allowed in islam.This is at smallest leve,when this raises at higher level it comes out in the shape of "Taliban" or"Islamic terrorist ".

Of course,it is a reality that many anti islamic intrigues play pivotal role in defaming islam and its followers.But if we ponder upon ourselves that are we true muslim??,to some exent have we presented ourselves a true muslim before others??.We before changing our attitudes go out to reform other.And give chance other to raise fingers upon us.

We want perfection that is impossible because "To err is human" .Man is not an angel free of all possibilities of doing any evil.So it is exigent to set an example by conducting islamic idealogy in first your own behaviour. Become an epitome of islam. Become an image of IQBAL' momin.Then you will see people will attract by you.

Now a days,muslim's position in the has become very sensitive.When any henious activity occurs presumbly is labelled on muslims. This creates inevitability of cold war between muslims and non muslims.We are more in numbers but deprived from advanced miltary,economical, politicle and technological progress.That'why we need to show flexbility.Our countries are running on IMF's debts.Our institutes are running on their interests.We are compelled to conduct their policies.Our rulers are marinottes in their hands. That is imperialism,about which is said that there is no post imperialism.

It does not mean that we make completely silence on their brutal and imprudent acts.But raise your voice by pen adopting rampart position.This is demand of time. Wait till time may change.That is a universal fact,those are present at zenith will fall in nadir.As JAWAHAR LAL NEHRU said, " The wheel of change moves on and those who were down go up and those who were up go down".
