ISLAMOPHOBIA :THE ORIGIN OF TERRORISM !

At least one gunman killed 49 people and wounded more than 40 during Friday prayers at two New Zealand mosques in the New Zealand 's worst ever mass shooting, which is an act of terrorism but most of the "peace keepers" termed this as an act of violence.
Here come the part where we all are missing out. This act ,where innocent people witnessed the real face of terrorism in the form of close-minded hate, fear and prejudice from Islamophobia and as a consequence of the coward acts by other so called muslims, is shame for those who are chanting slogans for eradication of practising muslims which they call as fundamentalists. They are the real reason why New Zealand mosques were attacked. They hate Muslim if they practice their religion. They show intolerance towards hijabi women. They make young muslims feel that there is something wrong in their belief. All over the world there are people hating on muslims for being muslims. We are not denying the fact that some incidents recorded in history, may be far more worse than this, have been done by some people with muslim faith but how does those justify Killing of innocents who were there to pray. The Islamophobia (which I call the origin of terrorism) : All inhuman acts done by muslims and on muslims are because of it.
With oppression comes hate for those doing it, with that hate comes resistance, with resistance comes protests, with those protests comes more oppression and then the birth of violence occur. That violence called as terrorism brings more aggression among those who want peace. There are young people who have blood filled with honour and dignity and they do not want to be oppressed. But the more hatred forces them to extreme steps which people call as terrorism.
In many parts of the globe muslims suffer from discrimination, stigmatisation and exclusion because of islamophobia in some areas of life such as employment, education, vocational training, services and political participation, but also from racist violence and speech, especially on the internet by such mindsets.
These things are not normal and we must not expect a normal aftermath anyway.
