MEMO FROM NARA

Terror…Terrorism…Terrorists…are the words we come across everyday in all types of media. All over the world people talk about these terrible words that terrorize every individual. No one knows when terrorists strike. These people (male and female) are trained or rather brain washed to kill fellow humans. Is it not an evil activity? Are they taking revenge against someone? Then why they kill innocent people who watch a musical concert or assembled in a café, or working in their office, or studying in a school or attending religious functions or even walking on the road! Looks ridiculous, but such activities are carried out almost every day in one part or other on the Globe. Terrorists are mindless, unkind, unthinking animals whose urge is to kill and kill. We know how many lives – children, men and women – are being cruelly killed and injured!

How to control such horrible activities? Some advice, to find out the root cause for terrorism. Others say to put an end to it by talks and Malala Yousafzai says with guns you can kill terrorists; with education you can kill terrorism. Certain countries help materially and financially these people in order to create chaos in the world. They are the real sadists. They support terrorism. On the other hand almost all nations including the United Nations condemn terrorism. Every time, the world leaders meet one to one or in groups, pledge to condemn and control terrorism. Agreements are being made, information exchanged and nothing more! Still terrorism continues unabatedly all over the world.

Fighting terrorism is not an easy task. No one knows who is a terrorist. Sometimes it is attributed to a particular religion but religion as such is not involved in it. Extremists, fundamentalists, people who are brain-washed, and not bothered about their life are participating in terrorism. Organizations are everywhere to select, train and send such people to kill innocent civilians. The seeds of hatred sown in the young minds sprout into seedlings that trigger the human brain to involve in killing his/her own brothers and sisters. A cowardly act, indeed! Still it is killing. Some of the countries are more vulnerable to such beastly acts than others.

Disturbing peace or disliking the act of others is some of the causes for terrorism. It is not possible to abolish terrorism unless we satisfy the needs of such people who are involved in it. Divisions in human society are unfortunately igniting the element of violence and terrorism. It is a great challenge for every nation to solve the problem of terrorism among human population. United Nations Organizations and many religious and spiritual leaders try their best to solve this up-growing problem. We hope they succeed in their attempt and make the human beings happy in this world of ours.
