An ideology cannot be countered through legal action or by mere condemnation. We have to develop a counter-ideology to overcome it. only through education and positive training, which naturally includes a counter-ideology to violence. Once this is done, the ultimate peaceful result will be achieved through the combined efforts of both governments and reformers. The common man in every community has a major role in this process. First is not to believe in rumors. One should not believe anything however genuine it sounds, until thoroughly enquired. This will remove misunderstandings prevalent on both sides. Historically, it is misunderstandings that have always led to violence and war. In Conclusion The ideology of peace in Islam banishes the notion that there can be anything acceptable about terrorism. Islam is a religion unequivocally committed to peace and the Islamic method is equally so. By following the ideology of peace, each individual’s mind can be re-engineered, away from the culture of violence and closer to the culture of peace. o No Complaints Complaining about things is a fruitless exercise. One is sure to find plenty to complain about in life. Wisdom lies in forgetting the unpleasant things which are an inevitable part of life, bury grudges, and carry on seeking to fulfill one’s true purpose in life.
