Ask a child to sketch a terrorist, and the resultant image speaks of what Islam has been reduced to: a stern face, with most ruthless contours envisaging the black game of hit and kill, an overflowing beard, seamlessly fitting in with lethal arms, tucked distastefully above the shoulders. Ask a stranger to draw the sketch of a Muslim (not a terrorist), and you find an uncanny sameness. As a Muslim, I take it as an affront to be compared with a bunch of hooligans, perpetrating most blatant crimes against humanity in the name of Islam. Imagine how religion becomes a sanction to justify any misdeed carried out on a whim. This is not Islam, and not the one which was the result of the painstaking endeavours of the Holy Prophet Salallah o Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam to humanize society.
