Islam and Humanity

I've just finished watch videos from Youtube about some people who trust Islam as their only religion but at the same time never stop bombing others people, killing thousands of innocent citizens and shooting other human beings. Some Islam's leader said that it was a retaliation act as previous murder attempts by others people from different religion to some people in Palestine, Afghanistan and many others countries around the globe.I said STOP DOING SH*T THINGS like that! The war will never stop until somebody start to stop it!

I remember my lecturer once said in the classroom while he was teaching us. He told us a story about Nelson Mandela. I bet all of you have known already about Mandela. He was sent to jail as a punishment of his anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. When he was in jail, he got himself tortured by the guard or jail's officers. One of the guards gave his pee on Mandela's face, that was such an disgusting and human-rights-violation action. Later on, Mandela was released from the prison after 30 years if i'm not mistaken. And what Mandela did after he got himself free and gain an enormous power as a Souh Africa's leader? He forgave the guard whom he got his pee on his face, instead of kill him or at least punished him for what he did. Such a dignity of a leader.

Of course I realize that not everybody has a such dignity and courage like Mandela, not everybody has such a glorious reserve of forgiveness as Mandela has, and some people got himself in a much worse condition that Mandela's [Mandela got a pee on his face, moslems got a bullet running through their throats], but unless they stop doing retaliation actions in many forms, this chain of evil would never ever been broken.

For addition, this slaughtering actions taking place nowadays is not only religion's issue anymore. I totally agree with friend of mine who said that this is an issue of humanity, not anymore of an issue of religions.
