The approaching Christmas of 25th December seemed to spread its aura of happiness, peace, joy, harmony, the spirit of giving, love and sharing. Over the years, partly due to its commercialisation. Christmas is also being celebrated by Non-Christians and in countries with lesser number of Christians as percentage of population.
Things looked good, but then something dastardly occurred.
The first news was the killing of the Russian envoy to Turkey Andrey G. Karlov. He was killed when he was in an art gallery by an ex- anti-riot policeman of Turkey, who somehow managed to get a pass to enter the gallery. He was later perhaps killed by the security forces.
Yet this news makes one feel that if such high ups are not safe, what about common people?
In a second very tragic incident, a truck rammed into a Christmas Market in Berlin killing 12 and injuring many more.
While no doubt these cases represent Lone persons committing the crime, often the ideology of hate and glorification of crime and criminal means, killing, maiming people using guns and blasts is often the results of years of efforts in the negative direction by the Terror operatives.
In many countries, such terror outfits do get support from countries in a secret way. They get arsm and finance, often with a nexus of drugs, arms and Finance.
What happens is that often gullible or frustrated people join Organizations which preach violence as a way to attain salvation. Some Organizations act as religious sects to provide people with avenues to increase their faith and come closer to the God.
Yet, God does not as people to kill off each other, or subjugate others. Yet, the minds of these frustrated and gullible people is so much manipulated that they end up killing people, often many in numbers. Some are now so hardened and so trained that they even fight armies with superior weapons and tanks etc.
One wonders why cannot such people be bought back into the mainstream. Well the answers are complex and could fill the volumes of many books. Yet I believe that if all of us sit together and start reading and discussing our religious books (of whatever religion we belong to) then we will not kill and fight, but just discuss, agree or disagree.
Also, perhaps moral teachings need to take emphasis with renewed vigour at both schools and at homes, so that we better appreciate the importance of peace and harmony, and not take lives of others.

Bringing them back into mainstream is not impossible, though highly improbable because what usually happens is that in the process of trying to capture the perpetrators, they get killed! Quite often these people have already made up their minds to die!
I agree that it is only with the bilateral discussion a solution to the menace of Terrorism can be found. But, who should invite whom and the discussion should be made with whom are the main aspects which one should look into. Should U.S and Russia be invited for bilateral discussion? It will be quite ridiculous when they are asked to do so as it is nothing but holding them responsible for the growing international terrorism. Should ISIS be invited for bilateral discussion? But with whom? Should they discussion with Russia or the US? A similar problem as above will arise
Why should we time and again show Pakistan as the haven for international terrorism? Are there no terrorist activities in Pakistan? Have not they suffered from the terrorist activities The Karachi School Bomb blasts has taken the lives of 150 small kids and Children. Nobody, including the Government, evinced any interest in arresting the culprits on war footing basis. The investigation is still continuing and some arrests and punishments holding some people as responsible have been ordered which is nothing but only an eye-wash to pacify the public. Further, no country has made any protest against this ghastly incident and condemned it in the strictest terms.
Similarly, some acts of terrorism are taking place with an act of revenge in other countries taking the issue of Syria. The whole world is quite aware of the forces who are supporting the Government and who are fighting against the military forces of the Government
Why has Russia developed a grudge against Turkey? Is it just because the Turkey has grounded the passenger plane of Russia?
Why has Germany opened its borders to the Syrian Refugees and allowed millions into its country? And why has the U.S Government did not allow any Syrian Refugees into their country dodging the finalization of the guidelines relating their entry?
What interest has China got in the Projects of Afghanistan and why Afghanistan is more interested in maintaining harmonious relations with China? Why has China denied entry to India as an NSG member?
A critical evaluation finally leads to the conclusion that the whole global terrorism is carried out by the countries to achieve their supremacy globally by terrorizing the neighboring countries.
Strictly speaking, there is no such activity which can be defined and termed as Terrorism but every act we are so naming them is an indirect war among different nations the final outcome of which will be fatal and this may erupt at any time openly leading to 3rd W.W.
There are following factors for continuous terrorism activities and unless we get a solution for it I doubt we will be eradicate it completely.
1. The ideology of religious supremacy fueled by politics.
2. Complete ban of arms and ammunition to common man, even though we achieve it, the "lone wolf" event which has happened in the past shows that you dont need arms/ammunition to kill people. Question is how you identify such "lone wolf" & "sleeping cells" incidences and stop it.
3. The countries who instigate such activities or pseudo wars will eventually be engulfed in it sooner or later, still it will continue to happen just goes to prove that people try to dominate and prove they are better than others.
Terrorism is is nothing but personal enmity between the two persons for personal interests not for country interest. Christmas is coming approaching fast and 25 Dec, 2017, but I think it will sprinkle hipness among the broken heart and poor peoples of the whole world. There are such persons who spread terrorism on earth withe help of political leaders and I am sure they are political leaders who support the terrorists all over the world.
Terrorists have no religion but their religion becomes money or illiteracy on earth. They follow Satan's commandments in practical life forgetting the teachings of prophets completely,
Think for a while who are terrorists nothing but our neighbors and friends live in our surroundings but they have full support of the political leaders just to prolong their reign and to frighten the people.
The main case of terrorism is injustice on earth and its responsible are political leaders and the Chief Justice of any country and the Chief of Army Staff. If two persons are honest in any country the crime s of all types uproot within days but they get heavy bribery at their houses.
Think a awhile from where Chief of Army Staff and Chief Justice get money for their heavy expenditures no one knows but their of getting money is bribery and nothing else. They sell justice in the courts and people resist their justice and make terrorism on earth.
We must resist corrupt politicians in all countries to uproot terrorism from the whole universe. Think who supply them weapons deadly weapons no one but the politicians. It is the main cause of terrorism on earth and we blame terrorist not the politicians i Think we are wrong not the terrorists on earth.
So sad, for there are individual difference.We also differ in customs, beliefs, cultures and traditions.Though there is only one remedy to stop terrorism, and that is what you have said, to believe God, repent, pray and have God as the only Savior.There will be no war on earth for God does not create humans to fight each other, but because we are gifted with brilliant minds, that is why we cannot blame those who like to go astray.
We cannot stop terrorism unless the entire world cooperates.It will be better to send acid rain there in Syria for example and have all those terrorists melted. They are hard to eliminate in the world. They are real devils roaming around the world. they may be near us.Let us always be watchful. I wonder why can't they be eliminated when US forces are so numerous and equipped with deadly armaments. They are actually doing their best, but still they kill. Just recently they killed a diplomat, so sad the person the terrorist killed is so important in the world and the killer is a useless garbage in the entire society.
But all is written in the Bible, so all we have to do is pray and repent.
@gautamdotcom @cmoneyspinner thanks for responding and sharing your thoughts
@shivamani quite thoughtful, and governments and countries are heavily responsible for terror outfits getting latest weapons, barring nuclear and chemical and who knows, one day they might even get them.
Yes @lovern we need to be careful, but hate ideologies makes it difficult for even heavily numbered armies- be it China, US, India or even Russia to tackle terrorism fully.
Insightful indeed @jhsayyar
