Another terrorist act happened on September 8th at Jakarta, Indonesia. The attack injured more than 180 and killing at least nine. The latest attack by al quaeda was just a touch on what this horrific group can do.

This group has been mentioned several times over the past few years and has gained more attention since claiming the 9/11 attacks. This group has a large program within Southeast Asia as well as in the Middle East. Since this is the case, Muslims around the world have been put into a small basket and considered as terrorists.

Terrorists have been around since the beginning of time, but now are put into the spotlight. The fanatic groups are not limited to just one race or religion, so why then is there such a need to call one group Muslim Terrorists and yet the other terrorist groups are not identified by a religion?

Mohammad wouldn't approve of such horrific acts, especially against the brothers of Islam (Christianity and Judaism). These groups made up of mostly Muslims should not be generalized by the American or foreign media. Calling the fanatic group Muslim Terrorists is like calling ...
... all Muslims terrorists.

The ones who call for the Jihad are in no way in charge of other Muslims. These so called Leaders of Islam is just a myth. Islam has no clear leader. The leader of Islam is just the same as another member of Islam. One who prays to Allah is as holy as the so called Clerics. Islam is not like Catholicism where the Pope is the holiest of them all and has a clear leader. So why then are people making such a fuss about the clerics calling for Jihad? A true Muslim knows not to listen to such idiocy.

The past week has been full of troubling acts by terrorists, from the school takeover to the situation in Jakarta. Our lives are becoming more and more valuable by the moment. Not because of a certain race or religion, but because of a few who go to the extreme.
