Is Islam Terrorism?

Islam is indeed a religion of peace. Islam doesn't allow or permit killing of innocents. Allah says "if you save someone, it's like you have saved the whole of humanity and if you have killed someone, it's like you have killed the whole of humanity". So, in the above statement, it's not just referred to save Muslims, someone means any human being.
The terrorists who kill the innocents do not belong to Islam. Terrorists have no religion. They are misguided and terrorism is a religion by itself.There are terrorists who belong to Christian and Hindu community as well. But as it's said, terrorists have no religion and terrorism is religion by itself.

Our society must stop humiliating other religions and respect all the religions equally. After all, that's what Islam teaches. We must not have double standards.We must follow the religion of Humanity and spread love and peace. Humanity is the best religion.
There is no verse in Quran which supports blowing up of innocents. Prophet Muhammed says "Whoever hurts a non - Muslim will not smell a whiff of paradise." Islam is against terrorism.

Islam is against terrorism!

What would I do without you?

When I was hungry, you were the one who fed me
When I fell down, you were the one who held me.

When I was upset with my failure, you were the one who made me realise my potential.
When I was victorious, you were the one who celebrated my credentials.

When I hurt you unintentionally, you bore the pain without any complaint.
When I troubled you for something, you did not let me feel the same.

When things were messed up and you were torn apart, you did not let us know what is pain.
You behaved like everything was normal, Though your heart cried over and over again.

It is said that mother is a girl's best friend, you're the best one, that's true.
A minute without you is unimaginable mom, I wonder what would I do without You?

    Unexpected Goodbye!

    I still don't understand what went wrong,It was really good but now it's all gone.
    There was a time, when we fought, played and laughed, That was the time I felt you were my other half.
    You had always told "I'll never leave you, no matter what "I trusted your words so much and never gave it a second thought.
    Well, it was something less than love but more than friendship, We realised it too late, I still long for that deep kinship.
    You left me, when I was in a bad state without giving an explanation, I have now accepted it and respect your decision.
    Our friendship will last forever, though we ain't in touch.It's really difficult to forget you, I miss you so much!

        Colorbar cosmetics

        Colorbar is a rising cosmetic brand in India. It is best for working ladies because Colorbar products are long lasting. It is a little costly when compared to other brands like Lakme, Maybelline etc. But the money spent is worth it. Lipsticks are long lasting. Mascara and Eyeliner is waterproof and makes your eyes look much prettier. ColorBar Primer must be applied soon after washing your face and before applying foundation cream, it feels very soft and fresh and helps your make up to last longer. I have purchased all the cosmetics from Colorbar and very happy with them.

        A Daughter in law

        Just because I'm a girl, You can't mould me the way you want,

        For I'm not born, just to hear to your taunt.

        Treat me like your own daughter, for that's something I wish.

        For I'm not unto you a servant, That cleans the floor and dish.

        I'm a human, a normal girl, who wants to lead a normal life.

        I want to sing and dance like a normal girl and not just be your son's wife.

        I shall take care of your house like my own, I shall take up the responsibility.

        I expect you to be impartial and forgo your insecurity.

        Just because I'm a girl, You can't mould me the way you want,

        For I'm not born, just to hear to your taunt.

        I'm stylish and kiddish in my own way,
        I really don't bother what my enemies say.
        I'm independent and do not need anybody's help,
        When alone, I shall adore and embrace myself.

        An Accident

        I was riding safe with a helmet and slow, I had offered prayer on time with my mood a little low.
        I had to reach home to see my wife, I had to reach home to see my children and my grand children who are my life.
        I experienced pleasantness while I was on my way, It made me feel so happy and gay.
        All I could see is a bus with high beam light, After which all I could see is white and white.
        Then all I remember is being under a giant bus, I could hear people all around creating a great fuss.
        I tried to get up but couldn't due to great pain, And then I noticed my own blood pouring out like rain.
        Now I could see all my precious memories in a flashback, Those lovely sweet memories that nobody can ever hack.
        I wanted to say, is a short and sweet goodbye to all, Because this was something that I hadn't expected at all.
        The time had now come to enter the world which is immortal, I closed my eyes and remembered the almighty with a chortle.
        Nothing is now left with me to carry forward,Except for my good name and good deeds for which I would get a reward...
