Sorry brother Ahmed but this issue is really important.
I am sure u r aware for example that the situation in Egypt has a very special local dimensions to it. I mean just one example, the masacre that was committed against a group of Japanese tourists in Dair Bahari was in retaliation against the police authorities who killed 7 young medical and engineering students who were all know of excellent manner.
No dont take this as an approval from me. But I just would like to highlight the fact that oppression is worse than murder.
It is a vicious circle brother. And that was just one example. Im sure u r aware of that.
Well at the end I will just quote again Zaghloul Annajar when he was interviewed after the London bombings. The anchor asked him how can Muslim countries fight this, he first told her there are no Muslim countries, then said, if they really want to. Let them teach Islam, spread correct knowledge, allow the youth access to proper Islam knowledge.
Brother we can differ in opinion but we will remain brothers and sisters.

I agree sister, it is very important, in fact as far as I believe those people took Allah attension big times, He mention them in His book almost in the first page, while Allah took 4 verses to describe the believers(2:2-5), 2 verses to describe tthe unbelievers (2:6-7) and He described the Terrorists in a massive 13 verses with 2 parables to decribe them in these verses (2:8-20), how important that is for us then?, very important sister
it is affecting everything in the world and does no good to Islam, in fact Islam is the first victim, because we know anyone who does wrong they always try to justify their actions, even if it was a clear cut wrong, I may do that to, it is a human nature I reckon, so those people use the religion to justify their actions and by showing a very strong and misleading example of sacrifying the self, this sacrify will make it look to the non muslims as so genuine act in Islam, what a big lie sister, we muslims, our children, our grand children, will pay dearly for it if muslims do not take a stand and clear this issue to the world
however i agree sister that oppersion will make people go astray and think of revenge, but for me I see it as both parties has fell into satan trap, nothing more,
I will give you an example, we know in the Quran that anyone who was raised non muslim by his/her parents can not use this excuse with Allah, i.e. they can not say sorry we were just following our parents
the excuse sound very genuine to me, however, why Allah will not accept that excuse?, because simply He has given them brains and they were given a freewill to do what they want, they chose to ignore His warnings and follow their parnets "whom the Quran is very high on respecting and admiring them",
so I can not use the excuse that I was oppressed to go astray and kill a few inncoent people as well kill myself
but I can use the oppression excuse if I took my revenge from the perpetrators who oppressed me, not the innocent women and children
Take care sister
