ISLAM & TERORISM

Oktober 08, 2017

Grand Theft Auto (GTA) first released in October 1997 by David Jones and Mike Dailly is the most popular game in the world until it’s latest released in 17^thof September 2013. This game is describe American’s life like the statement from two American’s gamers, Rus Mclaughlin & Lucas M. Thomas they said, “It's all about the American Dream. You start at the bottom, put in effort and time, and you make it to the top...no matter who you have to kill. Any stone player can get known and get paid if they take what they want, and survive the day. And see the next guy lining up to take what's yours and make it his. That's what makes this country great”. From this statement we can imagine how the game become great effect in youth-mentality & environment, doing crime action in America granted usual things.

“Murder is America's oxygen” said Andrew Mitrovica, award-winning investigative reporter and journalism instructor. Some time ago, the world uproared by a sensational news. This news being a headline news during this week on some newspaper. The largest mass killing in modern US history, 59 people had been assassinated, with at least another 520 wounded. Stephen paddock is responsible to this happened, he shoots more than 20.000 people when they watching out a concert music. This mass murder defeated the previous high record when Omar maten bombared about 320 visitors in night club on gay’s community Orlando. 50 people was die and another 53 wounded.

Regarding two incidents above, there was a relation between this two happening. The count of victims almostly same, the murder has a complete automaticly weapon, and both of them has a criminality background. Paddock has been prisoned causes bank robbery, and Omar Maten comes from Afghanistan which live in a war environment.

Although both of them has many resemble, in some social media there many difference in a perspective. In Paddock’s incident, no one talks about “what is his religion ?”. His action doesn’t related to his religion. The mostly talked is about his family, his hobby in gambling and his broken mental.

In other side, when Omar Maten doing the same thing, same psychology backgrounnd, same broken mental, these all reason doesn’t enough to declare him as a prisoner. Why ? Because he is a muslim, so his criminality reputed has a relation with his religion.

This same incident also happened in 2007 when a collegian shoots collegian of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia caused 32 people die and 17 wounded. And also, media never talks about his religion.

These all facts shows us that the discrimination especially in religion still being. Islamophobia which reached on the top percentage in 11^thof September 2001 existed until now. Like people said that Islam on media is like a flavor in a food, if we are not flavoring salt in a food exactly the taste of the food doesn’t feel delicious. Media has same system, if the media doesn’t implant hatred statement about Islam, media will being unmarketable.

Washington post said there are at least 134 doers of mass murder caused the die of more than 984 people in America. If we observed every doer, we realized that the majority of them is not muslim. So, why the label of Muslim is teroris implanted ? Exactly, when the doer is muslim his action is always related to Islam. And the other problem is every murder has more weapon for every his action, it’s proved that weapon’s selling is over-free. The high sources of American foreign exchange is also comes from the selling of weapon. We can conclude from these all that Muslim is being a real victim, so the question is, who is the real terorism ?
