Three Decrees of Islam R Brahmachari

After the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Centre and the sequence of events that followed like war in Afghanistan, terrorist attacks on the Parliament complex in Delhi and on the American Centre in Kolkata and burning about 60 people alive at Godhra, emergence of ISIS in various parts of the world, people of India, especially the Hindus, have become a bit curious about the religion of Islam. They are trying to know more about the faith. But one is irked to observe that a group of motivated people, mostly the so called secular intellectuals, have come forward to exploit the opportunity by presenting a distorted picture of Islam, with the sinister design to confuse the entire community of non-Muslims including the Hindus. They say that the true meaning of Islam is 'peace' and it is an extremely tolerant and peace-loving religion which has nothing to do with terrorism. They also say that no religion teaches killing innocent people and the terrorists are killing people by transgressing the teachings of Islam, or the terrorists have no religion and so on and so forth. Above all, they are telling lies and say that the Koran does not preach bloodshed or violence. It is therefore necessary to highlight the fundamental aspects of Islam to enlighten the World Community of non-Muslims about the aims and objectives of the faith that originated in Arabia.
