The Human Drama Called Terrorism
Let us begin by asking this question: One billion people in the world suffer from malnutrition. 24,000 people die from hunger and hunger-related causes PER DAY. Three-fourths of these deaths are of children below the age of five. Has any brave television or newspaper reporter ever captured the picture of a five-year old child who died of hunger?
Do you have an idea how it feels to die of hunger? Where is your hue and cry, and your calls to the conscience of a nation when these poor children are dying everyday?
The simple answer is, poverty-related death is not a problem of the rich. If you are reading this over a computer, there is little chance of your dying of hunger someday.
But terrorism, like obesity, is a problem of the rich. The trouble is that the terrorist's bullet does not discriminate between rich and poor. Rather, it prefers the rich. If it did not, terrorism would be as useless and boring an issue as hunger.
Being a problem of the rich, the amount of attention that terrorism attracts is far too disproportionate in its favor. In George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”, the pigs proclaim: “All animals are equal.” But as soon as they seize power, they revise the principle: “But some animals are more equal than others.”
Your calls to eliminate terrorism are as cheap and hollow as the calls to eliminate violence in the last five thousand years. Violence is a dysfunctional element of an unfair society where some men are more equal than others.
The lesser equal men need the same power, fame and attention as you. And for them, terrorism is an excellent available route to achieve their nirvana.
The more you publicize these attention-starved men, the more fuel you add to their fire. Publicity and attention is their lifeline on which they thrive and multiply. In its absence, they die a starvation death.
And you, the rich, hypocritical scoundrels of the human society, provide them with precisely what they need.
Since barking dogs seldom bite, so a polite suggestion for you would be that you better stop barking about terrorism. You know you are not even capable of paying your taxes willingly. You will cheat if no one is watching. So stop your pseudo-nationalist hyperbole and look at yourself in the mirror. You are barking just like a politician -- who does not come from Mars, but from among you only. What is there to blame a politician? Are you any different from him in hollowness of character?
Imagine if terrorism becomes as boring an issue as hunger. Imagine if there is no empty gossip about terrorism. If you stop being terrorised, it would reduce terrorism to the point of irrelevance. It would take the wind out of the terrorist's sails. It would make him a nobody. And that, and that alone, is certain death for him. That is the ONLY way to kill him, without making him a martyr in his own eyes.
So now sit up, you mass emotional fools full of illogical hatred and anger, and understand this logical fact once and for all: Terrorists are not after religion. Osama Bin Laden is not interested in Islam. The one, and only one fundamental need of every human being is: Fame and Attention. Our entire life is centered around fulfilling this singular need.
In the final analysis, ironically, you and the terrorist are no different. Both are human beings of poor logic, ridiculous emotion, and shallow character. Both are starved for fame. Though you are slightly worse than him because you are also a hypocrite.
it is the very good lesson for all of us which we learns from 26th Dec in Mumbai Attack by terrorist. No body that what is the
relation between terrorist and young people who have gave their hands to terrorism. That young people are susceptible to
developing a fascination for violence, is something we need to really grapple with.How does this international network appeal to
educated muslims to on role as suicide bombers and member of terror squads.Some time' s money do all this but it is quite
craps methods
impossible for young educated muslims that they are ready to take anybody' s life.
