Most, if not all are being brain washed in the name of religion and Jihad. Minority may be victims of terrorist attacks who lost their family.

I will not say most, only fraction of people are part of this activity called terrorism but enough to be in lime light of media and create havoc.

When poeple get the wisdom no one can change their action. The main objective should to to be wise.

Maya, I think it can be any one who become victim to their attack. Even people of same religion are found to have become the victims.

The WHY? of Terrorism in Islam
I am an American living in Asia. I am not Moslem, but I am a writer and historian. I would like to share some information with you: information concerning Moslem terrorism, and why the United States, its military allies in Europe and Asia, and their intelligence services must continue to be vigilant, and when appropriate, respond to Islamic terrorism with relentless, overwhelming, and deadly force.
This information may help you understand what is going on not only in India, Pakistan, and China, as well as other parts of Asia, but also the Middle East, as well as Africa, Europe, and even the United States. In the not too distant future, Moslem extremists intend to involve you and your loved ones, as well as a vast number of other innocent victims in a man-made catastrophe: an organized and violent calamity of biblical proportions that is based on teachings taken from the Koran.
Disregarding the social, economic, and political factors that serve as underpinnings for Islamic terrorism, I will address the more fundamental issue: the religious teachings that sanction violence against non-Moslems and against women. Here are seven verses from the Koran. These scriptures have been translated into modern English.
…murder, crucify, or cut off the hands and feet of non-Moslems…Chapter 5 Verse 33 - The Koran
…create terror in the hearts of non-Moslems …cut off their heads…Chapter 8 Verse 12 - The Koran
…and fight non-Moslems until Allah’s religion is the only one…Chapter 8 Verse 39 - The Koran
…of all the loot you plunder from non-Moslems, 20% belongs to Allah and to Mohammed. Chapter 8 Verse 41- The Koran (Author’s note: Loot included kidnapped female sex-slaves.)
…Take as many as four wives from the women you are sexually attracted to … Chapter 4 Verse 3 - The Koran
…God has made men superior to women… Virtuous women are obedient. If a woman becomes disobedient, beat her. Chapter 4 Verse 34 - The Koran
…When it comes to marriage, Allah makes it legal for you to take as wives, women whom your right hand possesses. Chapter 33 Verse 50 - The Koran (Author’s note: This verse talks about the “loot” non-Moslems call… kidnapped female sex-slaves.)
Most people in the western world have never heard of these astonishing scriptures, but they are in the Koran … along with a relatively short list of others, just like them. This is important because not all Moslems are the same; there are two very different types. Militant Moslems view these verses as commandments from their god – a violent, primitive god. They think these teachings apply to life in the Twenty-first Century and they try to use them, regardless of the suffering and mayhem they create, whereas moderate Moslems ignore such verses because they were uttered a long time ago: when the Arabian peninsula, from whence Islam came, was a wild and savage place.
Historians tell us these terrorist teachings are part of a cluster of ferocious beliefs that were deliberately added to one specific part of the formerly peaceful and tolerant Koran. These changes were made decades after the faith was first organized.
In fact, historians also tell us Islam didn’t simply fall from the sky as a full-blown religion, but rather evolved from a persecuted sect of Jewish-Christians. The first Moslems were actually part of a larger group of Jesus’ followers called the Ebionites.
Ebionites were peace-loving disciples of Christ, who shared their wealth with fellow believers, and taught that a man should marry only one wife. In fact, women were much more independent in the Ebionite Jewish-Christian days of Islam. They were more influential too. I say this because my research has determined that the first prophet of Islam may have been someone other than Mohammed: I believe the first prophet was a very special Arabian princess named Khadija the Pure. Khadija was Mohammed’s first and only wife for twenty-four years. Khadija was fifteen years older than Mohammed. She was considered to be fabulously wealthy, and she was Mohammed’s employer.
Mohammed on the other hand, before he became Khadija’s employee, was an impoverished youth who had been raised as an orphan. Ultimately Mohammed worked his way up to a position as Khadija’s business manager. With time, Khadija grew fond of Mohammed. Khadija asked Mohammed to marry her! Even though Khadija had already converted to Christianity, throughout her lifetime Mohammed’s first and only wife for twenty-four years remained an influential Arabian princess in the ruling family that controlled worship in the Kabba Temple, with it’s pantheon of more than three hundred pagan gods and goddesses. Clearly, Khadija was a person of great influence in Arabian society. www.TheMoslemInstitute.com
After Khadija’s death, Islam was hijacked by a cartel of corrupt men, headed by Mohammed himself. New beliefs were added to the Koran, old beliefs were deleted or relegated to unimportance, and the religion was changed beyond recognition. In the end, Islam abandoned many of its Ebionite Jewish-Christian teachings and turned cruel and predatory; women suffered the most: they became the focus of repression, scorn, and violence.
Today, although moderate Moslems are loath to admit these ideas, and many of them are terrified to voice criticism of their militant Islamic brothers, because of fear that violence will come to them and their families, the fact remains that these added teachings are not the original beliefs of Islam; they are amendments: They are the terrorist teachings of Islam.
In the near future, militant Moslems hope to unleash a Jihad: a Moslem holy war upon the non-Moslem world: not only the United States and Western Europe, but also in non-Moslem parts of Asia, such as India, China, and Japan. Because the terrorist teachings of Islam sanction deception, treaty breaking, and war, as well as looting, murder, kidnapping, terrorism, and human slavery (including sexual slavery), so long as these crimes are directed against non-Moslems, there is no limit to the things these fanatics can do. But the scariest part: Militant Moslems will do everything… in the name of god. During this violent holy war, these fanatics believe Allah will grant them harems of kidnapped sex slaves taken from destroyed cities and nations, as well as enormous fortunes of loot plundered from the non-Moslem world. The Koran says, ransoms paid to Moslem terrorists, to redeem stolen property, and kidnapped men, women, and children, are part of the Islamic loot these vicious criminals are entitled to receive.
Islamic Law given in the Koran even allows Moslem men to force their kidnapped female sex slaves to marry them in Moslem wedding ceremonies, and bear children for them: whether the women want to or not. The only requirement Moslem teachings mandate is, that the women must come from Christian, or Jewish backgrounds.
If the Moslem fanatics die while committing these crimes against humanity, they believe Allah will admit them to paradise and bless them luxurious palaces filled with seventy-two virgin brides, as an eternal reward for their cruel deeds.
With that said, it is important to remember that the majority of Moslems are moderate, decent people, who recognize such teachings as obsolete and out of place in the Twenty-first Century. In spite of enormous cultural and ideological differences that exist between the Judeo-Christian world and the Islamic world, in the author’s opinion, it is with this moderate Moslem majority that any long-term resolution to the Islamic terrorism issue will ultimately be negotiated.
However, given the massive population increases taking place in the Moslem world, at a time when poverty, chaos, criminality, and religious fanaticism are burgeoning, the numbers of Moslems worldwide who declare themselves militant is increasing; the influence their growing networks of terrorist cells exert on Islamic governments throughout the world has reached crisis levels. A great deal of violence and death looms ahead of the non-Moslem world; the attacks on Mumbai, India, the World Trade Center in New York, and the subway bombings in Spain and England are simply previews of things to come. In this ferocious Jihad, nuclear and biological weapons could ultimately come into play. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, the road before us will be long and dangerous; the United States and Europe and Asia must be resolute… and take courage. The survival of our civilization depends on it.

Thanks for setting the records straight.Let’s hope these pearls of wisdom become part and parcel of misguided Muslim youths!!
@Dr.Ratan Saini
Terrorists are like villains in movies-the by-product of flawed perceptions.They also crave for attention like hero but via the wrong means.
When these blockheads get trained by people who believe that ”Allah is the only God ” then be sure of the emergence of another terrorist.

Hey Sir, I opened the Quran a minute ago after reading the verses you were nice enough to put up here, and it’s either you don’t really read Arabic well or you just happen to have read a really badly translated version of Quran...
I really wish that people don’t post when they’re not so sure about what they’re posting... you’re a writer, you should have certain standards for posting...
Thx :)

It is very bad to know that religion is luring the people in the name of women.

It is really bad to have such a motivation which goes against any kind of universal humanism.

Vishal,
I am surprised that living with more Muslims then we have in Pakistan you can fall for this typical christian propoganda.
For a start the Quran never uses such crude language as virgin etc.It uses more chaste language such as pure,chaste or unblemished.secondly if you know anything of Islam or indeed about the concept of the hereafter in most of the modern religions ..it is a spiritual world where the issue of virginity or otherwise-or even of other physical acts like sex can only enter twisted minds only of religions which lay too much emphasis on sex.

Looking at the various reasons and motives and situations it is very difficult to curb the act of terrorism.
The only possible solution is to provide full attention to education and security aspects at all levels.

(Local Perspectives)
Yes, we must work to educate our selves and others for the cause of the country.
(Global Perspectives)
Our government must be serious all the time to tackle such situation by having a policy of terrorist attack management system in place. So that there is no delay in case of any attack. Like we have training of first aid or fire fighting etc.
(Local Perspectives)
The strict aim to get the attackes minimised can save life of many.
(Global Perspectives)
Yes, education is most important aspect for peace and harmony.
(Local Perspectives)
But what I am unable to understand is that how can a human being be taught so much of cruelty in the name of giving them the joy of 72 virgin brides! After all, some compassion must be there in the heart of these terroists?? how can they kill innocent humans, kids?? doesn’t their conscience trouble them in sleep??? HOW Can someone kill??? Humanity does not teach this?? nor does any religion?? then why???
(Local Perspectives)
It is just leadership of the group of people being involved in teaching inhuman concepts.
(Local Perspectives)
It is very poor perception of faith for the evil acts.
(Global Perspectives)
People get blind when they are shown the dreams coning true.
(Local Perspectives)
What is desired ?
Like when fire catches at a point the fire fighting must be efficient to minimize the loss.
Similarly the anti terrorist preparations should be so efficient that minimize loss of life.

But don’t these so-called terrorists have any mind of their own?? I was surprised when the pics of a young looking boy (who must be a few years older than my brother) was shown on the television sets, carrying arms, and intentions of killing strangers!
Can any kind of teaching divert the innocent minds to such an extent??? Can these young bys taught cruelty so easily??

It is money which makes every one blind and freeze the intelligence.

phew!!! truly said!!! hunger can drive humans to do anything atrocious! Be it killing also! Then I suppose that the best way of curbing terrorism is to finish the so-called leaders who day and night fill these innocent minds with hatred against humanity!
The strange part is that these terrorist don’t feel any kind of remorse on doing such kind of acts!

I believe no one can stop the action. Only we can do that if we have control over our desires.

No thoughts of humanity can come when the mind ifilled with the desires to be fulfilled.
(Global Perspectives)
To control our desires we must know the right and wrong.
(Local Perspectives)
yes, the most important decision is possible only when we know that.
(Local Perspectives)
Desires can be controlled when we know what we are going to get if we do so.
(Global Perspectives)
You and I can control our desires! But what about these people?? How can we tell them or teach them to control their desires??
(Local Perspectives)
That is the biggest problem we are facing. I can send some one to the school for education but what is in his mind and how he acts on his desires no one can control.
(Local Perspectives)
To control our desires one has to sacrifice and must be guided by some one whom he respect. The problem here is today the guidance of the people is making them terrorist in some cases.
(Local Perspectives)
True. We must have a true teacher who help us live this life to make it worth the objective we are here for.
(Local Perspectives)
One must have to find a guide who can helphim live honestly.
(Global Perspectives)
That is the point! We can teach each other to control our desires, because maybe we are in the right frame of mind to understand this! But these youngs guys are not in the right frame of mind to do so!
What to do now?

(Local Perspectives)
You and I can only spread the message of morale and ethics and motivate people to work on the basis of that. No one can force anybody to behave in a manner stipulated by him.
(Local Perspectives)
There should be a social network which manages such people who are liable to these bad acts.
(Local Perspectives)
A demonstration of good decision making and a tension free life style can motivate others to follow.
(Global Perspectives)
To stop, terrorist being produced, there is a need of strict action to educate the morale values and ethics in society.
(Local Perspectives)
Yes, that is the most important asset which is missing in people especially who are i top positions of governance.
(Global Perspectives)
this is what I think...
SOCIETY
For any society to be truly successful, it requires the society to be knowledgeable, healthy and peaceful;
Knowledge is infinite (In my opinion, I might we wrong)
Being healthy is a direct by-product of being knowledgeable and is also dependent on resources provided by mother earth which is finite.
Ideally both these should result in being peaceful.
However, unfortunately or fortunately, human society requires a fourth measure and that is being ”wealthy”. This tricky factor of being wealthy spoils otherwise a perfectly balanced equation.
So let’s do this again:
For any society to be successful, it requires the society to be knowledgeable, healthy, wealthy and peaceful; and the success of the society is the collective success of the people who constitute the society.
PEOPLE OF THE SOCIETY
I have used the terms White and Black, but since we humans are so obsessed in taking things out of context and proportion I want to clarify this up front. These have got nothing to with the color of your skin, the country that you live in, and the religion that you preach.
The WHITE Beings
There are few humans who can detach themselves from all materialistic needs and attain a higher level of knowledge, consciousness and peace, but I assume it will be safe to say that neither you nor I are one of them and the number of such people would NOT even be a minutest fraction of the world’s population.
The SHADES OF GREY Beings
Human beings require materialistic pleasures in order to believe that they are happy. These ” tangible needs” vary from person to person and can be anything from having a two course meal to owning a private jet.
Ironically materialistic wealth has become the single most important unit that defines success in the world today.
When people don’t get this wealth, for whatever reason - they tend to act in reactive ways which can be considered unethical, unwise, illogical and often illegal.
The BLACK Beings
BUT, when a normal human does not get his/her basic needs - food, shelter and security of continued existence ; when s/he feels that their own or their loved one’s life is in danger, they tend to act in ways which are defined to be more animal like and close to being barbaric. Like a man eating tiger, once they tend to be barbaric, it become near impossible for them to turn back even after they get their stomach full.
Of course there are some people who are born with mental disorders (like Ted Bundy) who are in BLACK category without any logical reasons, these people are ill and require medical assistance. And it is not part of this discussion.
SOCIETY and PEOPLE INTERACTIONS
To generate wealth - as in materialistic wealth that we all know off, requires resources.
However, mother earth provides us with limited resources, ideally the math should work simple – take total available resource and divide it by number of people and you get your share, to keep the sanity off this discussion and from all practical reasoning, the resource cannot be divided equally among every living being.
As the population of the society increases it affects everyone’s share of these finite resources, indirectly their capability and capacity to generate wealth, creating a misbalance.
More and more people each year move closer towards the darker side of grey.
Each time the stock market goes up and you think you have made more money, it came at the cost of someone else loosing and being pushed down further. But since this is how god created this world, the more knowledgeable people of the society gave birth to the concept of ”giving” - when the “haves” donate time, money and/or hope to the “have not’s”- they are unintentionally trying to help maintain this balance.
— Top 3 richest people in the world have enough money (~180 billion USD) that can feed the entire population of the world (~7 billion) for one month (@40 INR a day), let me know if this math was confusing, I can provide some more bases to the numbers and calculations. —
However the rate of population increase is not proportional to what people of the society are “giving back”. We need more “givers” and less “takers” to balance our current world scenario.
For example, if you give 1 hour a day of your precious time to teach a poor kid and at the rate poor kids are born, you will be soon run out of your “give” hours OR if you give INR 20 a day to a hungry, you will not be able to afford your own meals, at the rate the world’s population is exploding.
If EACH person, who can afford more than 3 meals a day for his/her family, can contribute in making sure at least one additional person on this earth does not sleep hungry. This world will be a less dark place. If EACH of you, who can read and write, can teach one person a year to do the same, this world will be a better place.
Let me clarify for all those who are reading this and jumping to negate my statement above.
Yes, there will still be barbarians who will continue to harm the society but each day you succeed in helping one person stand on his feet and have his/her stomach full, YOU WILL reduce the darker side - the folks who are young, prefect recruits for the barbarians.
Your Question might be - ”Well the terrorist are not poor they are well educated in some of the best colleges in the world, how can you say helping a poor will solve this problem?”
My answer is – The well educated barbarians are driven by blind faith –imparted by sadistic leaders, who are there because they preach wrong to the illiterate and the needy. If there is a terrorist camp, its lowest level recruit is a needy, is poor and is concerned about his/her family’s safety.
Each day that YOU will make a person feel secure and hopeful - YOU WILL make EARTH a more peaceful place.
Each day that YOU will forgive a man for his sins and give him the guidance for betterment - YOU will make our society healthier.
AND YES, it will come at a price, and the price will be you being less materialistically satisfied.
This world is a very big place; we cannot expect one person or a group of people to fix the world’s problems. Even if magically all the politicians (that you speak off) disappear - there will be a new set of such people that will continue doing the ills left behind.
It starts with YOU and nowhere else.
Your Question might be - ”If I do this – “give” thing that you speak off, what’s the guarantee that everyone else will do it?”
My answer is - You must believe, you must have –hope- that there are many good people on this planet.
To answer your next question - ”When will the world be a better place, if we start doing this TODAY and CONTINUE doing it?”
My answer is - Not in your life time, but our kids and their kids will see the difference, they will write in their history books - about us, the society that BELIEVED and brought the change. It has taken us years to ruin the system - It will take us years to FIX it too.
It is your choice to pour a bottle of Milk and make the difference or choose to POUR water instead and think – “well what difference will it make if I alone don’t do it.
We come up with a list things that some ELSE should do, we come with ideas that someone ELSE should implement. And we expect the world to change in a blink of an eye.
We try to find the root cause to problems - ”Terrorist attacked us - how can we prepare ourselves for the future?”
”Only if we fund more and equip our soldiers with better killing equipments, we can protect ourselves”
”Only if politicians were not corrupt and use this money to buy good killing equipment, we can buy more guns”
”Only if the terrorist training camps in XYZ art of the world can be cleaned”
”Only if we .... The list goes on”
If I can feed a poor kid and impart basic education, If I can make him/her understand that picking up a gun is not the answer, if I can get one less trigger happy terrorist, If I can get 1000 less bullets flying in air, If I can reduce your chances of getting shot by one of these bullets by a 1000th time – I believe that I can help my society.
A great change requires a greater sacrifice - Are you willing to sacrifice?
Are you willing to sacrifice your hunger to buy an HD 50 inch plasma television to fill a plate of rice and a bowl of soup for the needy?
I’m willing to do it and I’m already doing it and I do BELIEVE (the same way I believe in GOD), that if you ask your heart, you are willing to do this as well and you will do it.
It is just that YOU do not BELIEVE in it just yet.
SOCIETY
For any society to be truly successful, it requires the society to be knowledgeable, healthy and peaceful;
Knowledge is infinite (In my opinion, I might we wrong)
Being healthy is a direct by-product of being knowledgeable and is also dependent on resources provided by mother earth which is finite.
Ideally both these should result in being peaceful.
However, unfortunately or fortunately, human society requires a fourth measure and that is being ”wealthy”. This tricky factor of being wealthy spoils otherwise a perfectly balanced equation.
So let’s do this again:
For any society to be successful, it requires the society to be knowledgeable, healthy, wealthy and peaceful; and the success of the society is the collective success of the people who constitute the society.
PEOPLE OF THE SOCIETY
I have used the terms White and Black, but since we humans are so obsessed in taking things out of context and proportion I want to clarify this up front. These have got nothing to with the color of your skin, the country that you live in, and the religion that you preach.
The WHITE Beings
There are few humans who can detach themselves from all materialistic needs and attain a higher level of knowledge, consciousness and peace, but I assume it will be safe to say that neither you nor I are one of them and the number of such people would NOT even be a minutest fraction of the world’s population.
The SHADES OF GREY Beings
Human beings require materialistic pleasures in order to believe that they are happy. These ” tangible needs” vary from person to person and can be anything from having a two course meal to owning a private jet.
Ironically materialistic wealth has become the single most important unit that defines success in the world today.
When people don’t get this wealth, for whatever reason - they tend to act in reactive ways which can be considered unethical, unwise, illogical and often illegal.
The BLACK Beings
BUT, when a normal human does not get his/her basic needs - food, shelter and security of continued existence ; when s/he feels that their own or their loved one’s life is in danger, they tend to act in ways which are defined to be more animal like and close to being barbaric. Like a man eating tiger, once they tend to be barbaric, it become near impossible for them to turn back even after they get their stomach full.
Of course there are some people who are born with mental disorders (like Ted Bundy) who are in BLACK category without any logical reasons, these people are ill and require medical assistance. And it is not part of this discussion.
SOCIETY and PEOPLE INTERACTIONS
To generate wealth - as in materialistic wealth that we all know off, requires resources.
However, mother earth provides us with limited resources, ideally the math should work simple – take total available resource and divide it by number of people and you get your share, to keep the sanity off this discussion and from all practical reasoning, the resource cannot be divided equally among every living being.
As the population of the society increases it affects everyone’s share of these finite resources, indirectly their capability and capacity to generate wealth, creating a misbalance.
More and more people each year move closer towards the darker side of grey.
Each time the stock market goes up and you think you have made more money, it came at the cost of someone else loosing and being pushed down further. But since this is how god created this world, the more knowledgeable people of the society gave birth to the concept of ”giving” - when the “haves” donate time, money and/or hope to the “have not’s”- they are unintentionally trying to help maintain this balance.
— Top 3 richest people in the world have enough money (~180 billion USD) that can feed the entire population of the world (~7 billion) for one month (@40 INR a day), let me know if this math was confusing, I can provide some more bases to the numbers and calculations. —
However the rate of population increase is not proportional to what people of the society are “giving back”. We need more “givers” and less “takers” to balance our current world scenario.
For example, if you give 1 hour a day of your precious time to teach a poor kid and at the rate poor kids are born, you will be soon run out of your “give” hours OR if you give INR 20 a day to a hungry, you will not be able to afford your own meals, at the rate the world’s population is exploding.
If EACH person, who can afford more than 3 meals a day for his/her family, can contribute in making sure at least one additional person on this earth does not sleep hungry. This world will be a less dark place. If EACH of you, who can read and write, can teach one person a year to do the same, this world will be a better place.
Let me clarify for all those who are reading this and jumping to negate my statement above.
Yes, there will still be barbarians who will continue to harm the society but each day you succeed in helping one person stand on his feet and have his/her stomach full, YOU WILL reduce the darker side - the folks who are young, prefect recruits for the barbarians.
Your Question might be - ”Well the terrorist are not poor they are well educated in some of the best colleges in the world, how can you say helping a poor will solve this problem?”
My answer is – The well educated barbarians are driven by blind faith –imparted by sadistic leaders, who are there because they preach wrong to the illiterate and the needy. If there is a terrorist camp, its lowest level recruit is a needy, is poor and is concerned about his/her family’s safety.
Each day that YOU will make a person feel secure and hopeful - YOU WILL make EARTH a more peaceful place.
Each day that YOU will forgive a man for his sins and give him the guidance for betterment - YOU will make our society healthier.
AND YES, it will come at a price, and the price will be you being less materialistically satisfied.
This world is a very big place; we cannot expect one person or a group of people to fix the world’s problems. Even if magically all the politicians (that you speak off) disappear - there will be a new set of such people that will continue doing the ills left behind.
It starts with YOU and nowhere else.
Your Question might be - ”If I do this – “give” thing that you speak off, what’s the guarantee that everyone else will do it?”
My answer is - You must believe, you must have –hope- that there are many good people on this planet.
To answer your next question - ”When will the world be a better place, if we start doing this TODAY and CONTINUE doing it?”
My answer is - Not in your life time, but our kids and their kids will see the difference, they will write in their history books - about us, the society that BELIEVED and brought the change. It has taken us years to ruin the system - It will take us years to FIX it too.
It is your choice to pour a bottle of Milk and make the difference or choose to POUR water instead and think – “well what difference will it make if I alone don’t do it.

”Are you willing to sacrifice?” is the real question to solve the issue. Now let the human decide, where they want to enter in future.
(Local Perspectives)
WE the people are selfish by heart and do not want to sacrifice anything rather want just some pleasure at the cost of others.
A wisdom society can only deliver the desired environment where every one is able to achieve the objective of life.

Will Vishal do it? I believe he will.
Will Raghubir do it? Yes I believe
Will Dr. Ratan do it? You bet he will.
And thats it, if you guys today promise to do this and actually do this and show it to the world that you are doing this....nothing can stop us. Its a revolution and it starts here, right now.
If i can get you three believe in this, and in turn you do the same...I do not need to say further...
In my next blog i will give details how I have pledged to take care of two young poor boys in India

I have promised myself to give them the education they need and the food they need to stand on their own and someday do they same to next generation.
(Global Perspectives)
Yes, education is most important for any society to move in the right direction.

I believe that people learn from their own mistakes. As an example now we find the government of India is serious to take some action.

There is need of a wisdom revolution which will transform our society into wisdom society by educating and imparting knowledge to develop wise citizens.
This is possible when we have desire to improve and reach our goal of life.

”Motivation to do something in the name of religion to get to Heaven (Jannat).”...is just an excuse doctor! They don’t love God at all. How can they when they have the hearts to take the lives of innocent people? They don’t love God and they don’t love religion...even they know that. Religion is a garb they are using to make their cause appear noble.
(Local Perspectives)
They are just defaming the true path of religion.
(Local Perspectives)
Any one can understand the motives behind such actions. It is only the administartion of the country which should take appropriate action.
(Global Perspectives)
The name of religion is defamed by these acts of few people and the whole lot of society moves away from the religion.

No Religion teaches terrorism, it is our undrsatnding and guidance of so called leaders which interpert it like that.
(Global Perspectives)
Sometimes terrorists are really freedom fighters. It depends on who the big super powers support

Terrorist is the name given through out history to people who take up arms against because of some perceived injustice.In modern history both Nelson Mendella and Dr. King were termed as terrorists before they became heroes.
Any society which breeds injustice give rise to what governments call terrorists.

What I tried to point out in my comment is that history always shows up the truth as the winner.I have no doubt it will be the same in the case of the ’war against terrorism’.
One fact how ever cannot be denied. ’Terrorism’ world wide has increased -and not decreased - inspite of the all out war of the last seven years.
So obviously some thing very wrong with the approach of the mighty warriors.
I will continue to predict as I have done in the past;the way things have been handled -and continue to be handled- it will continue to get worse;specially in our region.
