terror were carried out in 1960s and 1970s by Soviet-backed communist
organizations. As the impact of the communist ideology faded, some of
the social structures which gave birth to communist organizations
claimed to have appeared in the name of Islam, at least in their own
eyes. This "brutality presented under the guise of religion", which is for-
mulated by the incorporation of some Islamic concepts and symbols
into the former communist literature is entirely against the moral val-
ues which constitute the essence of Islam.
A last remark about this issue is that Islam is not peculiar to a par-
ticular nation or geographical region. Contrary to the dominant
Western perception, Islam is not an "eastern culture". Islam is the last
religion revealed to mankind as a guide to the true path that recom-
mends itself to all humanity. Muslims are responsible for communicat-
ing the true religion they believe in to all people of all nations and
cultures and making them feel closer to Islam.
Consequently, there is a unique solution for people and groups
who, in the name of Islam, resort to terror, form oppressive regimes and
turn this world into a dreadful place instead of beautifying it: revealing
the Islamic morality and communicating it so that the masses can un-
derstand and live by it.
