Victim of terrorism

Orientalists who studied Islamic sciences and writing works of Western scholars study 'So somewhere they

appear to suffer from discrimination . Indeed they claim neutrality , but in the case of Islam or Muslims must never kill poles are .

However, after reading Karen Armstrong 's books usually pleasant feel . He denied the charges in his books on Islam put the Orientalists and their writings are actually quite neutral look . Perhaps this is the reason that almost all belong to the Orientalists imperialist countries . The Karen are mainly Irish . British Irish for centuries been the victim of persecution and gained independence mynanhyn twentieth century .

Karen Armstrong on November 14 , 1944 uayldmur born in a British town . Move to Birmingham mynply . In 1962 , a group of nuns in the center of the Holy Child was associated with jyuz . Karen , however, Nintendo will find the train had to undergo physical and psychological abuse . Organization in which he abandoned in 1969 .

In 1970 Karen graduated in English from Oxford University . D. Phil wanted to hear the poet tinea but the university rejected his subject . Karen was so indignant that he left education and began making documentaries for television .

In 1984, a landmark for British TV Channel Four documentary Create reached the temple . Religious texts so impressed him that he was fascinated by the comparative religions . Karen hundreds of books and study this sector's three major monotheistic religions , Judaism , Christianity and learned about Islam Shafi coffee .

Karen then began to create books on comparative religions . He has clear parallels with his own three religions . His first book '' God '' date that appeared in 1993 . And has written two books on the Prophet's Sira . Wrote a book on the history of Islam . His 23 books have been published so far .

In November 2009 , Karen Armstrong gmgsary '' Manifesto '' (Charter of Compassion) is presented . It was hidden behind the notion that people of all religions want to live in peace and love one another must be sympathetic grief or magazines . The tidal prism Grief many cities of the world governments and eminent personalities have been accepted .

In 2011, Karen Pakistanis Pakistan is a special magazine '' Letters '' (A Letter to Pakistan) wrote . He gave a message to the Pakistanis that if they do not own and foreign religious and cultural conflict so they should accept tidal grief . Karen highlight the Koran in his arguments well supported and quoted scriptures are scattered .

Today, comparative religions Karen Armstrong has the distinction of being the most famous researcher . Their creations are famous in the entire world . He has already interviewed many western magazines . In these meetings, the choice of those questions chosen from Karen vows readers . Answer these questions in mind and inherits open several windows open .

Q: What is your contribution from all religions brotherhood between men and women is established . But the problem is that every religion and its followers ' chosen ' favorite ' God ' is declared . So you create ' tidal prism ' Follow grief how is that possible?

Karen Armstrong : Yes ! This is a big problem in the world of religion . But in the past the problem was exempt from Islam . Koran is a pluralistic (Pluralistic) document . Enter the path to the drive every religion came from God . And that there is no coercion in religion of any kind . It also noted that Mohammad (PBUH) , Jesus , Moses did not come to abolish the teachings of Islam .

But ( I think ) today, Jews and Christians , Muslims and followers of other religions have been caught in the trap of such bias . They are the elect and God 's favorite . Anna is just pure ego .

Q: It is automatically assumed they Muslims or their religion, it does not exist ?

Karen Armstrong : Yes ! It emphasizes that the Quran Muslims Muslim (perfect) become . So today's Muslims are turning away from the teachings . The Qur'an al- Mohammad (pbuh) addressed the says: 'If we want to shield the entire humanity in a religious society . But we do not want. It is not our intention , therefore , O Mohammad (PBUH) to leave his own way . ' West does not pay attention to this verse . This is the noise that the Qur'an commands Muslims to impose their religious views on others two . The Qur'an mentions non -Muslims have their own religion , their religious traditions and lifestyle .

Please read up on Islamic history . Muslims after the Prophet's death, the next hundred years the castle was steep . But then also forced a caliph or Muslim or non- Muslim, not by coercion . Bhkm God because it is Jewish , Christian , Zoroastrian , etc. had their religion . Muslims had a duty to respect them .

Question: But here comes a tough spot . That almost every religious book on his followers to wage war in the name of God is content oriented .

Karen Armstrong : You are right . Content that is most religious books . The Qur'an than in the Old Testament and modern , is more than two .

In its condolence tidal prism from all faiths invited religious scholars and intellectuals is that they point a finger at others before your religious books in content review, see under what circumstances they came , posted it on the process and that is why the followers of this material may be applied to this situation ?

Q: You say the impact of tidal prism grief ?

Karen Armstrong : Yes ! I went to Pakistan in 2011 . Are there people liked this manifesto . The victim of terrorism and violence Pakistanis who need such charter grant them peace and love . Jordan I applaud him . U.S. company Google for my manifesto inspired by the principle that our employees to be treated with compassion and sorrow magazines . Thus they have better business results .

Q: There is a view that the international community at the same time sympathetic and tidal grief will take birth from the authority society societies Sorry to those who have wronged in the past . Is that right?

Karen Armstrong : Yes ! If an apology is needed to expose the cruelty of the crime are realized . The fact is that terrorism was born to poor nations persecuted by the Western imperialist powers . Even today, people in Kashmir and Palestine are victims of baladstun . So sorry I certainly would reduce the hatred . Sufferings of the victims at the same time is possible when concrete measures in their favor .

Especially after the Nine Eleven world's religious environment has deteriorated considerably . For example, in the U.S. Islamophobia ( fear of Islam ) is growing day by day . Stories clock against Islam and Muslims are evil . This trend is more dangerous for the benefit of both sides, extremists . And tolerance to stress the background go .

Q: globalization ( globalization ) swiftly took control of humanity . What would you say about it ?

Karen Armstrong : In the past one hundred years, human beings have endured great suffering ... two great wars , the atomic bomb , the mass migration of people ... it was a terrible century . Things that were invented in the twentieth century , such as social media to get closer to the people through opportunity . People around the world do not come so close before . Through social media , I 'm making the popular tidal prism grief .

Q: What kind of God in Western culture today understand ?

Karen Armstrong : God in the West has become a reality today . Scores of people understand the Creator . If the movement was born in Europe, Renaissance Hadeeth eminent scientists and philosophers such as Isaac Newton and Descartes resin think that it is possible to scientifically prove the existence of God . He said that science is the best way to reach the truth . Other ways spirituality and religious practices such as left behind . God's truth , pure and simple has become .

Q: What is the Christian God ?

Karen Armstrong : When there is a conflict between Catholic and Protestant communities, both as a response to their theories hard , non- flexible razor has static . I do them also became quite challenging . The advantage of this is when their religious ideas to be implemented .

The process is recognized and the same religion . As a person learns to swim or dance the swimming and dancing . Swimming or dance and dancing to learn to swim by reading a book is almost impossible . Man jumped into the pool , hands and feet thumb is to eat out , then he learned to swim . The dancers will practice day and night , John planted only in the beauty and attraction of this dance will take years to be born this property .

Religion, Man disciplined and teaches how to live . But the spirit of the religion , religious practices and is familiar with and knows what she wants after all ? Muslims pray five times daily, then in such humility and compassion for others arises . Have the opportunity to get rid of your ego . Muslims turn to Mecca , leaving all his work will 'then reminded myself that this is the most important in the life of God .

Suddenly Christian monks in ancient religious views were not introduced . The years took their act on a monk . The religious person asks the hard work . Above all , they want sympathy and condolence following the tidal power . Every major world religion has urged the followers of all religious ideologies emphasize the implementation .

Q: Catholicism is declining in the West . Pope Benedict steps to prevent it doing?

Answer: The Pope , the world's last great king . They not only religious and spiritual , but the Church 's political , social and economic issues controls . Since Catholics believe that he is God's representative , so the truth of the matter that is considered synonymous . Pop in today's democratic world, it is strange .

I think Pope Benedict efficiency is low . Catholics throughout Europe can nhynbna even if they want . Moreover, they behave well with other religions . I advised them that the scholars and thinkers into dialogue with other religions and be prepared for change . Dialogue on thinking that they do not know anything , then it is possible to recognize and know the Absolute . Actually, no it can not claim that he is God knows . Also a person can learn a lot from the experiences of others .

Q: what experiences you get from different religions to exercise their essence is?

Karen Armstrong : The study religions most importantly I realized that all religions teach love and compassion to others . I was an international conference with the Dalai Lama . A woman asked from where he left Christianity, Buddhism option is a waste of time . This is because all religions teach compassion and love . My religion teaches compassion and the higher stages of spirituality is concerned , they do not need to . ''

Examine the major and minor religions, I also concluded that the basic teachings are the same . Although everyone individual characteristics , temperament , taste and quality of the shortcomings keeps .

Question: But the Pakistanis kill , throat cutting and suicide attacks are also Muslims . Did you hear anything about them ?

Karen Armstrong : Obviously Pakistan is breathtaking . The attackers are Muslim extremists . She adhere to Islamic views and those who do not understand the pale of Islam . They found that even permissible to kill cnan . In my view Radical political activist theologian . They want to impose their views on others .

Question: What radical manifesto to end tidal grief is that possible?

Karen Armstrong : Yes ! Actually , God sent the prophet and the prophet so that he could teach mankind tidal sympathy and sorrow . Humans are hardly helps , especially strangers . I have to give it to her education and information .

Masytyun luys famous French orientalist (d. 1962 ), Sign- a term (Scientia) was devised . In Latin the meaning of the term ' information or knowledge from human sympathy and condolence and tidal . '' Ie information to be able to put themselves second . This term applies to himself , such as masytyun wrote: '' It is the duty of the historian that he himself recalling a historical book did not lead to high . ''

I understand that a high- creation ( book) came into being at the same time when the author wrote it down . Be completely absorbed in the atmosphere of the book . For example, I wrote a biography of turab Mohammad (PBUH) , so I ended up in seventh century Arabia . He also admitted his belief that God's Messenger (pbuh) .

If I do not do a biography of Mohammad (PBUH) did not exist . He impressed everyone . Oxford University educated and intelligent I apparently had to take Karen back on the Arabs in the seventh century population would have become stale . The fact that putting yourself and come back soon as we reach the true God .

Q: Which of the principles is important in international affairs ?

Karen Armstrong : That you should not behave like a nation or a people who do not like themselves .

Question: But if you attack another country then?

Karen Armstrong : The attack reasons to see . Be seen that the war is offensive or defensive ! Religions, such as Islam does allow defensive battle . While Muslims can fight in self-defense . Go pick up date , the last two or three hundred years of Islam in Western countries abuse measures . U.S. still produced , the UK , France , Italy , Spain , the Netherlands and Portugal are exploiting Muslims . So , as Nine Eleven incident , however, was expected to rise .

Q: In a situation like this is related to :

'' Chickens coming home to roost''

( Identical to the same filling) Well , 9 /11 the Americans invaded the country to attack the U.S., and was not a mistake . But if the U.S. attacked the Japanese and the Germans .

Karen Armstrong : Yes ! The defensive war fought by Americans . But the biggest problem with the fight is that he keeps his negative dimensions . Ultimately though cnan Americans began to act like bullies and he has transgressed all moral values ​​and principles . Such as the British in World War II Dresden ( Germany ) bombed civilians . Then the Americans dropped atomic bombs on Japanese cities .

Q: They are at war with both sides committing atrocities .

Karen Armstrong : Yes ! War is a very destructive thing . The Qur'an commands Muslims so that they keep up the fight and make peace with the enemy , immediately stop the fight . That modern Muslims believe that they ( the West ) have continued to attack .

Q: Tell me this , why is hatred of the West in the Islamic world ?

Karen Armstrong : Actually I wanted to spread secularism in the Islamic Maghreb , the conflict has begun . In the West, secularism flourished for three hundred years . Meanwhile, up and down all the ideas in all social classes were rich enough . Opposed to what was in the beginning , they gradually lost . But in Islamic countries were trying to spread secularism or modernity sudden . The process sowed the collision .

Ataturk in Turkey , for example, the power and the schools closed . On Sufis and scholars create oppression . Removed the veil and forced men and women to wear Western attire . The kings of Iran ordered the troops in the way the market operates and to remove the veil for women to pieces . In 1935, a peaceful demonstration against the myriad Iranians western dress ' shots from the Shah of Iran to drive them to the soldiers . Several Iranians were killed that day .

Libya and Tunisia to Indonesia since the government tried to forcibly impose secularism on people . The natural situation modernity and secularism hated Muslims , however , who took the class above . Muslims their religion , culture and tradition. Investment attack .

However, this gave rise to extremist violence . It began in Egypt . President Nasser hundreds from the conservative Muslim Brotherhood in prisons were crowded . His enormous tyranny and violence . The reaction then became the leader of a radical . Such as Ayman al-Zawahiri and others who founded the militant organizations .

There's a point . During a survey in Islamic countries long ago people were asked what qualities they prefer the West ? The best feature called 'neutral' and said they want freedom in their countries too .

The biggest problem of Muslims in the West is that there is much criticism on Islam and their prophet . This criticism is a gift to extremists . They claim that because the new crusade against Islam in the West continues .

Question: But all the blame can be laid there on the west .

Karen Armstrong : But we must recognize our mistakes and wheat crust . Above 35 countries in the survey were asked whether they attacked the Muslims hate the truth do ? '' 7 percent '' was her true calling and political reasons ... such as Palestine and Kashmir occupied Encroachment , sanctions on Iraq , the U.S. occupation etc..

But 93 percent believed the attack was not true , of course , was the most anti- Western policies . But the virtue of their religious principles forbid the attack . In the Qur'an and Sunni killing innocents is forbidden . Similar hadith that killing a human being is like killing the whole humanity .

Therefore, Westerners should closely review the situation and remove the complaint . Otherwise they will continue to clash between.
