Turning the Tables Over

It is common nowadays that the media call Muslims with labels such as fundamentalists, extremists and terrorists and many Muslims start apologising. Well, actually a different approach is needed.

The meaning of fundamentalist is "someone who follows the basics of something". Therefore, to be a good English speaker you need to follow the fundamentals (basics) of the English language and someone who follows that is a fundamentalist. Similarly, being an Islamic fundamentalist means that you are following the basics of Islam and there's no harm in doing that so no need to apologise for being a fundamentalist.

As for extremists, every Muslim should be an extremist. Islam teaches peace and love so a Muslim should be extremely kind, extremely merciful and so on. Furthermore, no one should stop you from being such an extremist.

A terrorist is someone for who terrorizes someone. For example, when a robber sees a policeman, he is terrorized and therefore, the policeman is a terrorist for the robber. Similarly, a Muslim should also be a terrorist for anyone who does something bad such as stealing.

And if every Muslim is a fundamentalist, extremist and a terrorist, the whole world will become peaceful and very few crimes would be taking place and that is exactly what we want.

Please keep in mind that making a drawing or any photograph etc. of Allah and the Prophet (S) is strictly forbidden in Islam.

This was utter garbage. Trying to find technicalities in all these words. You know how the words are used don't just try to find the exact meaning of definitions. Though the fundamentalist one made sense, the extremist one and, especially, the terrorist one, was utterly and simply garbage.
This is nitpicking, trying to find a loophole.
And also, in that last sentence, you admitted that most Muslim are the terrorists (and I am not using your definition, I mean the one that the rest of the sane world uses).
