The True Jihad
Non-Violence and Islam

MUSLIMS DISPLACED
It is an incontrovertible fact that Muslims have not
been able to join the mainstream in modern times.
At all places and in every department they are
leading their lives as if driven into a corner. This is
undoubtedly an extremely critical problem, for it
has relegated Muslims to second-class positions all
over the world.
To me, the greatest reason for this is the violent
attitude of the Muslims. Today’s Muslims are easily
provoked and become violent at
anything which is against their
way of thinking. Not all
Muslims become involved in
acts of violence. Yet all might be
held culpable. This is because
that section of Muslims—in fact,
the majority—who are not
personally involved, neither
disown those members of their
community who are engaged in
violence, nor even condemn
them. In such a case, according
If you behave
properly with
those holding
divergent views
from you, then
you deserve to be
credited with
having an
excellent
character.
