Terrorism and wars have nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with money and power. Following a religion is about spiritual growth, like any other form of meditation, if hate or intolerance is involved it's a fake one to get your money and your blood.

After a spattering of terrorist attacks in Paris on Nov. 13, French citizens and citizens of the world alike are in a state of disarray and sadness after at least 160 were reported dead as a result of the terrorist attacks. The terrorist acts, which police say are likely linked, include 100 hostages being held in Bataclan concert venue, an open-fire shooting at a Paris restaurants, and what could have been up to five explosions near a football stadium in Paris. While details of the incidents are still emerging, those following the events taking place Friday have taken to twitter to post news updates, share prayers and support, and even offer up their homes as a safe place for those in need of refuge off the possibly dangerous Paris streets.
While "Paris" has been trending on the social media platform since the terrorist attacks were first reported, other hashtags have filtered in and out, such as "#PorteOuverte" — an indicator of a household willing to shelter those who need a safe place, and "Rob Lowe" was also trending for his possibly insensitive tweets regarding the incident.
And now, "Terrorism Has No Religion" is making the rounds, with those who have Paris in their thoughts asking speculators not to blame any religion as a whole for these attacks. Some of the tweets, aimed at promoting cultural understanding and mutual support, read:
TEERORISM HAS NO RACE. TERRORISM HAS NO RELIGION. TERRORISM HAS NO GOD. THE SOONER WE REALIZE THIS THE BETTER

Dear andy,
We wake up this morning to the terrible and heart-breaking news of the horrendous terrorist attacks in Paris. Over 120 people dead and 200 injured. People whose only crime was going out on a Saturday night in one of the world's great cities. Words cannot describe our shock, outrage and disgust at Europe's latest terrorist attack.
As with all terror attacks it had a clear goal, to increase fear, hate and even encourage even more violence. We cannot let those who peddle this vile extremism win. We must stand together.
While more facts about the Paris attacks and the motives of the perpetrators undoubtedly will unfold throughout the day, for now our thoughts are with all those directly affected by these murderous attacks.
We Stand Together
For all of us there is little we can do from afar except show our support and solidarity for the people of Paris. So we have created a simple graphic which we are asking our supporters to share on social media.

Our message is simple: We Stand Together, United in HOPE not hate.
If you agree with this sentiment, then please share it with your family and friends.

The terrorists who carried out these attacks wanted to cause maximum carnage but also create a climate of fear and anger in French, and indeed European, societies. Unfortunately, they will likely be assisted in their efforts by extremists of every persuasion, as there will be many on the far right who will be only too willing to spread the fear and anger themselves.
These are dangerous times but it is at moments like this that ordinary people need to stand up and be counted. We need to stand together against the Islamist extremism that appears to have been behind the attacks in Paris. And we also have to stand together to ensure that there is no right wing backlash that splits communities further and targets ordinary Muslims who had nothing to do with these attacks.
We Stand Together, United in HOPE not hate.
Nick
