BIRTH OF A NEW RELIGION - GLOBAL TERRORISM !!!!!!!!!!!!
The last three days were a nightmare,not only for Mumbai or India but for every peace loving human on this earth.
The ordeal is over and even as life at Mumbai is returning to normalcy,the aftermath of the incident is being felt gradually and the impact is sinking in now - a constant sense of scare and insecurity in the minds of every man.There has been a great loss of a large number of lives,innumerable people injured and unimaginable loss or property ,but the biggest success of the attack,has been the successful declaration of the birth of a new religion-Global terrorism, which has created a perpetual dread .The blasts are over but the louder sound of fear being echoed from all directions is that terrorism is here to stay!
The attacks were in India,but had an international impact,as they were aimed against the complete world and the entire humanity.Most ,or rather all of the attackers and the attackers of other terrorist attacks may be from a particular religion,but this is neither Hindu-Muslim,nor India-Pak and not even concerning the Kashmir issue.These terrorists have no religion and belong to no country.Terrorists were earlier recognized as uneducated,familyless,poor homeless people dressed in a camouflage daangree,but the present set,has broken all socio-religious,and geopolitical boundaries and stretches through all economic and educational strata.It is neither a group,nor an organization,but a community of fanatics that runs probably in crores in numbers,includes technical professionals and is composed of psychopaths armed with the unbeatable weapon of suicidal determination.
The Mumbai crisis ,which was one of the worst terrorist attack on the country ever,was commendably overcome by the NSG,Mumbai Police and the Armed Forces along with the unclenching support of the staff of Oberoi and Taj hotels,local agencies and the energetic Mumbaites.What was conspicuous was the lack of any pre rehearsed plan to combat such terrorist attacks,and the luke warm reaction and almost impotent role of the politicians,government and the so called guardians of the country and specially Mumbai! The operations are over,but the trouble is not.It can recur,anywhere and even in a worse and bigger magnitude and each one of us has to be prepared to face and fight it. But a bigger issue is to end this global terrorism.
The Jihadi mind set,meticulous planning,intensive training,perfect execution ,unlimited armentaterium along with the ever increasing strength in numbers,and the unimaginable pace of growth of this global terrorism is an international matter of great concern.Driven by the in human fanatism and blindfolded by the religious motivation,the terrorists are acting like puppets,on the directions of few,to unknown destinations and towards undefined goals.I,with my small brains,fail to understand the motive behind it.Is it the revenge of the past,struggle of today,or insecurity for the future?
After every such attack,the first thing that we do,is talk of lax security,and as a knee jerk action,increase it,for the next few days.
But this is far from adequate.The in depth information available with them and the comprehensive scheming can break any security circle.What is required today is to reach the cause of the terrorism and its motive,and a very effective fool-proof system to counteract such an attack with minimal damage.
Security has to be enhanced but above all ,Anti Terrorism should become an International affair.It needs to be handled either by a special newly created branch in the UNO or a separate International Anti terrorist Agency to fight this lethal demon.Besides combining intelligence and improvising security measures,the agency should derive and create prompt and effective anti terrorism plans and simultaneously try to reach at the cause of it,and attempt to solve it with international intervening and dialogue. At national level anti-terrorism should become a major issue for all governments,with minimum a ministry status,with adequate funds and resources.
And above all,every individual besides being vigilant,should stay away from such fanatism,motivate people against it,avoid any instigation ,and above all be a responsible citizen of humanity to fight terrorism.

There is an alarming change in the attitude of the modern terrorist. The earlier brand was concerned about the image they portrayed, would often let women and children off the hook and were open to negotiation. The current recruit is frighteningly amoral. He gets pleasure out of killing. Blood shed is not a path to a greater plan, but the aim.
The way we deal with these terrorists has to be radically different. Earlier, you could cover your head and take shelter under a table. These animals however found it easier to slaughter the cringing and the helpless.
Today, if a terrorist whisks out a kalashnikov in your vicinity or hijacks a plane you are on, you are dead meat. Before he can gloat, the nearest men should charge him or smash his face with a rock. A kalashnikov is not the best weapon for close quarter battle. Our citizenry believe that it is someone elses battle. We believe that we pay taxes and are entitled to state protection. While this is true, ther is no substitute for a populace that brooks no nonsense if we are to win this battle.

PS this is just a thought. I will probably cringe the most in such a situation.

Couldnt agree with you more khalil!
They are psychopaths
and if the figure of 10 terrorists is true,then it is a shame,that 10 guys could cause such a havoc
they need to be killed at the first oppertunity
and we have to be vigilantm,careful and self protective,before its too late,for the organized help to arrive

I wholeheartedly agree with you.
We all seem too ready to wait for someone else to step in and take charge and protect us. Civil society exists only if we feel a collective responsibility for our well being. We have abdicated our responsibility for our own safety to the official law enforcement establishment and seem paralysed when we don't have directions given to us by the authorities.
Why amongst all those hundreds of people, did no one try to tackle or stop any one of the ten people said to be responsible for the killings? Were they all waiting for someone else to rescue them even as they were being slaughtered?
While I am not advocating a wild west mentality where we all shoot first and ask questions later, should we fear imminent death in any situation that is even slightly similar and act as if we are fighting our last fight? Should we use any object we have at hand and fight back regardless of consequence?
I too would probably cower in terror in any such attack be unable to act but perhaps we have to actively think about what to do so we can do it should the situation arise.
