The Mumbai attack is the main reason I wanted to start blogging again. Everyone should raise their voice against terrorism. So at least this time terrorism is taken seriously and the government does something about it. I know we have no political power but being a democratic country we could always try to voice our thoughts to make a difference.
Terrorism is no longer targeted at a particular person, city or nation, now anyone and everyone has become a target. Whoever stands in the way or against what they believe; what they call “jehad”. The word Jehad means holy war, but what i fail to understand is fight for what? or fight who? Luckily we all live in a free country, no longer are we held captive or ruled by any foreign nation so what are we fighting for?
Shouldn’t we be happy that we get to choose our leaders, exercise our rights and voice our opinions, then why greed to take over other countries which rightfully does not belong to us. Why don’t people realize, gone are the days when men fought for land to expand their horizon and bring more countries under their control. But sadly being in the 21st century we still do the same in the name of religion.
No religion preach terrorism or encourage its people to kill in the name of religion. When there are people who fight for the lives of animals and cruelty against them, there are people who have no regard for human life. When the law and the religion gives us no right to take our own life then what right does anyone have over the life of another human. And killing people with no remorse and ready to sacrifice their life in the process, for what? A cause which they don’t even know is for the good of their people. Just because few people want to prove their point and threaten humanity, they prey on young minds to do their dirty job.
I know 9/11 was a huge thing and thousands of people lost their life and family. The terrorists brought down a monumental building like the world trade center to ground zero. But I don’t know if USA was right to wage war against Iraq. Iraq could have or probably were the master mind behind the 9/11 attack but was it right to go on a war against them. What good did it do? so many civilians and soldiers lost their lives and its still going on…
Terrorist’s attack still happen on various parts of the world, anyday we could either get shot or blasted. But there are ways to bring down terriorism. Use the FBI, anti-terriorist forces and other intelligence, war is not a solution to anything. It will only motivate them to get back at us. Eye for an eye is not the right strategy.
Lets join forces and raise our voice to fight against terriorism. We might not be in power to make decisions for the nation, but we can still make a difference in our own way.
Peace!!!
