Where would you recommend people give their time?

I THINK PEOPLE SHALL STRIVE IN BRINGING PEACE ACROSS THE GLOBE. WE NEED TO FIGHT TERRORISM HARSHLY INDIVIDUALLY rather depending upon government agencies because they themselves are entwining it with their own political gains I,E Iraq War. THE BIGGEST AND CHALLENGING PROBLEM IN TODAY'S WORLD IS TERRORISM. MANKIND NEEDS TO STAND TOGETHER TO COPE WITH THIS NEW DEADLY PROBLEM.

On the behalf of muslims, I want to say that no muslims wants terrorism even they considered as disgusting, mean and shameless act by a man on the Earth as it has been accepted, acknowledged by mankind over the world.

It is nothing but a political tacts or controversy by few bad elements of society who are greed of moneys, power ( dictatorship ) and to spread the feeling of animosity among jews, christians. SINCE people are very poor just as penurious and illiterate even to their own religion so these bad and maliced people brain-washed them easily by luring lots moneys and falsely guiding them in the name of jehads.

In the glorious Quran, Allah says

" If you kill a person then you have killed whole humanity "
killing even one person is heinous sin in the sight of Allah

In the Hadith of prophet Mohammed ( peace n blessings of allah be upon him ), Allah's messenger quoted when someone shows anger over any one among all created creatures of the world even an ant then he wonot be able to spare himself from the anger of almighty Allah on the DAY OF RESSURECTION or JUDGEMENT DAY.

infact the meaning of ISLAM. islam is derived from an arabic word SALAM which means peace and ee means submitting will to almighty God. therefore Islam means Peace obtained by submitting will to almighty God.

Nowhere in the glorious Quran or in the Hadith of the prophet Mohammed ( peace n blessings be upon him ) is written that jehad is holy war and to kill innocent non-muslims.

infact meaning of jehad in the Hadith has been defined as to struggle with own self.
it has broad meaning implying to sacrifice appetites or kill negative desires. to give Jakat ( charity largely in the way of poors ), to pray immensely, to fast and so. this is what Allah's messenger prophet Mohammed  ( peace, blessings be upon him )
