An alarming statistic from the United Nations.

from Stripes:

The number of fighters leaving home to join al-Qaida and the Islamic State group in Iraq, Syria and other countries has spiked to more than 25,000 from over 100 nations, according to a new U.N. report. The panel of experts monitoring U.N. sanctions against al-Qaida said in the report obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press that its analysis indicates the number of foreign terrorist fighters worldwide increased by 71 percent between mid-2014 and March 2015. It said the scale of the problem has increased over the past three years and the flow of foreign fighters “is higher than it has ever been historically.” The overall number of foreign terrorist fighters has “risen sharply from a few thousand … a decade ago to more than 25,000 today,” the panel said in the report to the U.N. Security Council. The report said just two countries have accounted for over 20,000 foreign fighters: Syria and Iraq. They went to fight primarily for the Islamic State group but also the Al-Nusra Front. Looking ahead, the panel said the thousands of foreign fighters who traveled to Syria and Iraq are living and working in “a veritable ‘international finishing school’ for extremists,” as was the case in Afghanistan in the 1990s.

I am a Pakistani Muslim.

One of the many things that angers me on this site is how terrorists are referred to as ‘Muslims’.

They DO NOT follow the Holy Qur’an.
They DO NOT believe in equality for human beings 
They DO NOT believe in peace (obviously)
They pay no heed to the Prophet (PBUH)’s ‘hadith’ and,
They make up LESS THAN TWO PERCENT of Muslims.

The first four points i have mentioned are part of the fundamental belief in islam. A person is not a muslim if they do not hold these beliefs. Islam is a peaceful religion, and many people confuse terrorism with jihad.

What happened to the school kids in peshawar was terrorism.
The bombing of the twin towers was terrorism.
The plane crash into the World Trade Centre was terrorism. 
Suicide bombings are terrorism. (Suicide is forbidden in islam. A person is sent straight to hell if he/she does this) 
Killing innocent people because of their country or religion in terrorism.

Jihad literally means ‘struggle’. The only time war is allowed in Islam is when Muslims are being oppressed.
The arabic word for war is ‘al-harb’, not jihad. The Prophet (PBUH) said: ‘The greatest jihad is speaking the truth in front of a tyrant’. 
Even in instances of military jihad, women, the elderly, and children are instructed to be kept safe. What those bastard terrorists did in the Peshawar school attack, and many others clearly defies this. JIHAD IS NOT A DECLARE OF WAR ON OTHER RELIGIONS.

I have tried to keep this as short as possible, but to conclude;

The population of Muslims in this world is 1.6 billion. If every muslim was a terrorist, most non-Muslims would be dead.

Terrorists not only kill non muslims, but also muslims.
