The purpose of sharing this article is to emphasize that Muslims are not the terrorists or causing corruption as it is shown in media, instead there are more domestic people causing the corruption which need to be known by common people as well as security authorities.
Washington- In the 14 years since Al Qaida carried out attacks on New York and Pentagon, extremists have regularly executed smaller lethal assaults in United States, explaining their motives in online manifestoes or social media rants.
But the breakdown of extremist ideologies behind those attacks may come as a surprise. Since September, 11, 2001, nearly twice as many people have been killed by white supremacist, anti government fanatics and other non- Muslim extremist than by radical Muslims: 48 have been killed by extremist that are not Muslims, compared with 26 by self proclaimed jihadis, according to a count by New America, a Washington research center.
The slaying of nine African-Americans in a South Carolina church last week, with an avowed white supremacist charged, was only the latest in a string of lethal attacks by people espousing racial hatred or hostility to government. The assaults have taken the lives of police officers, members of racial or religious minorities and random civilians.
Non-Muslim extremist have carried out 19 such attacks since 9/11, according to the latest count, compiled by David Sterman, a New America program associate, and overseen by Peter Bergen, a terrorism expert. By comparison seven lethal attacks by Islamic militants have taken place in the same period.

The Six Pillars Of Islamic Faith
1. Belief in the Oneness of God (Allah): This is the first and the central belief in Islam. There is no god except One God Allah the Almighty. He has no partners and He Has no offspring. Allah Alone is the Lord of the universe. There is nothing equal to Him.
2. Belief In The Angels: Angels in Islam are spiritual creation of Allah that have no free will and worship Allah continuously. The angels have no gender and they have certain tasks appointed to them by Allah for example: angel Gabriel who conveyed the message of Allah to the prophets in the form of the revelations. angel of death who takes the souls of people on the appointed times, angel Micheal is in the charge of bringing the rain and so on. There are angels who write the good and the bad deeds done by humans, there are angels who will come to question after death in the grave. etc. Angels are not normally seen by naked eye but if Allah wills they can take the form of human on certain occasions.
3. Belief In the All The Prophets Of Allah And the Last Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh): A Muslim believes in all the prophets of Allah including the last and the final messenger Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). It is important part of Islamic faith to believe in all the prophets and respect all of them. The exact number of the messengers sent is not known but about 25 are mentioned by name in the Holy Quran which includes prophet Adam, Noah, Salah, Abraham(Ibrahim), Joseph(Yusuf), Moses, Zakariya, Yahya(John), Yunus (Johnah) ,Jesus and so on.... Most of these messengers are also mentioned in the old and the new testaments of Holy Bible.
