The problem is that most of the people sitting outside the Muslims world do not have access to the real information about Muslims countries either in the Middle East or outside it. They do not have access to marginalised or some times almost non-existent media outlets of the Muslim world. They, for instance, do not understand the language at Al-Jazeera and they cannot have access to Pakistani or Saudi newspapers. As a result, they know only what they are told by CNN, BBC or the Washington Post and the New York Times.
People living in western countries form their opinion based on biased news reports and analysis of the so-called mainstream media. Few have access to people who tells the fact, such as Noam Chomsky. Following are a few articles which may give us a glimpse of what a common man in the streets of a Muslim world goes through on daily basis and what he feels and thinks of what is happening around him. This may also give us an idea if the so-called war on terrorism is actually targeting the terrorist or reducing violence or the objective goes beyond the stated objectives.
Muslims who are not terrorists or extremists or even sympathies or empathize with such ilk's should ask themselves if they are correct in their postures to remain silence and disengaged from the knowledge that these extremists and subversives are bent on murderous objectives whilst living among them and passing off as Muslims of the brotherhood?
Muslim leaders of the faith for peace and non-violence must rise and face their own Jihad to speak out and condemn such extremists.
