To inject the illiterate minds with prejudices is the main feature of terrorism. But the life blood of terrorism has always been money. With money, terrorism can hire anyone as its CEO. As long as poverty and avarice are in the world, money plays a key role. So the subject of terrorism should not get any lame excuses under the pretext of poverty. This is not the universal problem of the rich and the poor.

To lure them with mod cons and better life is another one. To fetch them with 72 Houris in the Heaven is believed to be one more. If some modern messengers of God are bestowed on illiterate minds, it is the result. It was reported that Ajmal was given lavish treats soon after his return to home after completion of training to kill Indians. It was a shining proof a tribe still living in the medieval age with blood thirst of innocent and defenseless people. This is sheer exploitation. And the remote controllers get the life blood – MONEY – from the vested interest for that.

The world lacks principled politics. Power mongers design some monsters at times and pass on to the vested interests. The other so-called decent democracies will keep a criminal silence or render indirect support or show their weaknesses or servitude towards it. Such monsters will later grow up and will eat peace of mind from one side to other. The peace favourite common people from all countries well understand this.

Most of the leaders in Pakistan have always been nurturing a hate India policy to stay in power since partition. That is why Pak government cannot allocate much time for its internal affairs. As long as Indo-Pak relations should not be kept out of religious spectrum, Pakistan will suffer a lot and is not able to reach any solutions for the burning issues like terrorism. Also, Pakistan more often misses the chances to mend the fences with its neighbors so that India can stop the cross border terrorism. Since religion is misused by vested interest in Pakistan, the government cannot get out of the tentacles immediately. All peace loving people unequivocally urge terrorism is the greatest menace of our time. And the brains and hands that work behind terror attacks belong to those who have no claim to call themselves human beings. Those who bring death to innocent people could not have had human emotions.

However, it is wrong to argue that there is good terrorism and bad terrorism and that it is OK for one party to indulge in it while it is immoral for another. The previous US govt. had committed the worst crimes of terrorism under the pretext of war on terrorism. As we can see, those actions have not defeated terrorism. Instead, they have bred and encouraged more terrorism.

Equally responsible for the growth of terrorism has been the silence of many of our Muslim scholars and institutions. There should be no lukewarm attitude toward such crimes. They must condemn in no uncertain terms the heinous crimes that holders of Muslim names commit in the name of Islam. Evil will not go away by itself, it has to be driven away by iron fist.
The misguided souls who fell sympathy for the terrorists because they claim to champion causes dear to Muslims must learn from the experience of these past years that terrorists will never achieve any goal. History is witness that they suffer humiliating setbacks. That was inevitable because what they set out to do is create fear. That rouses public anger, which no force on earth can defeat. It is high time for both the governments and the opposition to wake up to make a united strategy to eradicate this menace.
