Abstract:
There are negative perceptions and all sorts of ills on Madrasah education as a breeding ground for terrorism especially during and after the 9/11 bombing in the United States that led to the drastic spread of news all over the world regarding the connections of Madrasah education to terrorism, thus, this paper is conceptualized to debunk the fake information and to provide factual evidences using different literature reviews from online journals and other secondary sources supporting the claim that Madrasah education’s curriculum and pedagogies from past to present, including the roles of teachers and students in the educative process, and the values that Muslim beliefs have, do not support terrorism activities or terrorism ideologies. Selected Muslim countries’ educational curricula that were revisited for the sole purpose of removing the stigma on Madrasah revealed that despite the world’s perspectives of Muslim’s association with the organized terrorist groups and the association of Madrasah education to the emergence of terrorist groups, as dens of terror and hatcheries for suicide bombers, are fake and unacceptable based on the information retrieved from secondary sources relative to Islamic or Madrasah education and based on the literature support from other sources.
