Is terrorism a part of our life ?

0

Today some situations have forced me to write about the present condition we are going through. Our life has deeply been infested by the present political as well as economic condition. Every country is trying to boost up the world market status. In this bad phase terrorism has found a good chance to show its power and existence. Excelling all the situations terrorism has raised its arrogant head to prove that he is reining. Terrorist should not have its own race and religion. The recent bomb blast in Marriott Hotel has proved this. We are also counting the number of deaths we have discovered yet from this Mumbai attack.
Now the question comes what is Terrorism? I have taken help of many sources to define the term terrorism

As Lenin said, "The purpose of terrorism is to terrorize."To terrorize means to frighten, and usually for some end, not necessarily political. The truly effective terrorist is able to frighten the greatest number of people - and the living who have been terrorized are the true victims of terrorism. This is one of the reasons the terrorist hits at innocent targets - children, tourists, and the elderly. The helpless target is so much more of a victim, and most people can identify with being victimized in the same way. To the public a random bombing of a school bus full of children is far more threatening than the assassination of a ranking officer in the military? The bombing in Oklahoma City was even more terrifying because it destroyed a day care centre.

Terrorists don’t care the race or religion they belong to. They even harm its raring country also. Everyday they are doing their notorious feats and proclaim their responsibility in the blast, attack etc whatever they do. I have collected some information of the larger attacks we have experienced this year. Losing of life of 10 or 20 people a day is so trivial incident that it needs no explanation. I have left them

On this above information we can say that terrorism has become a part of our life. But the question is that "Is it desirable ??"

Do we all really want this situation ???
Should we not stand up against this deadlier custom ?( I should consider this as custom )
Who help and rare the terrorist?? Who sponsor them?? Who help them supplying weapons and secret information?? How they escape from the spot leaving almost no trace and clues?? How they get courage enough to declare that they have done the attack or blast? Which situation compels them to become terrorists rather than a responsible citizen?? Poverty?? Hunger?? Maniac?? or anything else ?? There is lots of question

The sponsored group, party, state or country should realize that terrorism can not be the ultimate solution of any human activity. Supporting terrorism is just inviting destruction.
