Dear readers if we have to eradicate the menace of terrorism from the world. We have to follow a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism. It is a thing which cannot be justified giving any reason be it religion, race, nativity, color, creed, due to different sub sects in religions etc.The worst sufferers of terrorism are the family members that is the children, women, aged parents and other family members of those innocents who are killed.

These terrorists anyway like to die and find heaven in death that is their philosophy.If they want to die they are welcome to do so and it can be done peacefully, they can go and jump into a well, lake, pond, sea, ocean, railway track find some better ways  or the final option to jump from a mountain to get a one way visa to the heaven they choose to join. But will it solve their problem? No.

But they wish to reach their goal by  killing others, getting a bad name for their family members. society  or religion, country and region which they belong to and having fanciful visions of bravado or machoism which is nothing but misguided agenda endorsed by their leaders who anyway will not go and die but will make others scapegoats by exhorting them and they cause untold hardships on their family members who suffer.

Remember terrorism has no good or bad terrorist there are only terrorists. You have no right to kill others because you feel wronged. There are many other ways by which you can express what you genuinely feel about and if you want to achieve, it can be done no doubt it may take time. Communication solves many issues.

The philosophy should be talk, talk and talk till a solution is found amicably rather than doing strikes, damaging property, indulging in arson, using places of worship for wrong purposes, throwing stones, burning and breaking vehicles, looting money, threatening people with violence etc. Violence unfortunately begets violence and it goes in vicious cycles which turn out to be unending cause bitterness, leaving all parties sad, and loss of revenue and economic opportunities  for all.

History has lots of instances how difficult nettlesome problems have been solved through discussions peacefully. Where there is a will there is a way. This is not just a quotation but a fact which has been proved again and again in history repeatedly. There is no solution but to talk and there should be some give and take. If this middle path is not observed then unfortunately all of those people who indulge in these acts and their supporters whichever country it may be. Will have to be unfortunately wiped out with an iron hand of the law of respective countries where these problems occur.

Those countries who harbor them must not be spared either as they are the ones who fund and give them oxygen and run the industry. What do you feel, does our country or the world need to take harsher measures to deal with this issue than rather than serving them Chicken and mutton Biryani and a safe custody and free accommodation in jail like in the case of  Kasab (Mumbai Terror Attack Terrorist) at the cost of tax payer money.

Everyone has to decide on this issue,  most importantly the law of the land and the government, the two houses of parliament, law enforcement and the courts have to work in tandem. There should not be any politics or two opinions about it. The companies whose arms like grenades, rocket launchers, AK47’s, Ak’s56, Rocket Propelled grenades, hand grenades, pistols and other weaponary are used in the attacks by these terrorists must be blacklisted.

There should be a blanket ban on their trade if their weapons are found to be used by terrorists involved in the killings. The governments supporting them must also not be spared.  These companies should be banned for life from trading. Do you not agree on this issue which is  long overdue? Think about it.

I agree with you that it is only with dialogues and discussion a solution to the problem of Terrorism can be found. But, the question is who should take the lead? First;

1. who should take the lead?

2 Who should be invited?

3. what should be the Agenda for discussion?

The whole world knows pretty well the powers behind the ISIS terrorism are only two super powers who want to establish their say globally.  

In the International politics mean procedures and methods should be dispensed with. One should not take the wrong step for the fulfillment of their goals. If one power takes a wrong path then the other will make it double and it goes on like a chain reaction and reaches a point of no-return. 

It all started with the quarrel between the Iran and Iran. The USSR entered at the request of Iraq and forced the U.S to take another side. I do not want to go into the details but giving a simple understanding of the issue. Now, the entire issue has spread internationally like wildfire. Bombing, Arson, Loot, molestation, rapes, murders etc.  have become the regular incidents in many countries. The ISIS proudly declares that it is they who are responsible for the acts. 

If we want to put an end to the menace of Terrorism we should no doubt invite the parties for a discussion. Who should invite who is the question?. 

Should U.N take up the responsibility? Should it invite Russia and U.S for a mutual understanding without the presence of ISIS? 

Should the U.N conduct separate talks of ISIS with U.S and the Russia and finally invite the both Russia and U.S for accepting the deliberations? Will they be accepted?. The recent effort of Mr. Ban ki-moon proved a  big failure in this direction. He could not find any amicable solution though except condemning the activities of ISIS. In the meanwhile the U.S elections made the U.S evade the discussions and nothing concrete could be achieved in this direction.

True, thank you  for adding valuable inputs to the complex problem. Discussion is good and it will lead to solutions. I think one simple thing which all nations can agree upon is if person or organization  or others who indulging in killing or use violence to establish religious supremacy over other citizens  of the world and tries to use violence to sort out any issue should be dealt with severely such nations also should not be spared. Instead of wars on the ground it can be an economic embargo if things do not work out with discussion or it can be a combination of both. But dialogue is required to be continued to arrive at final solution for the issues to be sorted out.

I think the first thing that we need to find out is, what is the cause of all this terrorism menace, why are people fighging one another, why are people exploding each others homes, wotk places, worship places and so on and so forth. Whats the cause of all this?
Once we get to the real or actual cause, then and only then will terrorism be curbed. This is the time people will come together and start the talks and negotiations if any. Then will terrorism be stopped. It has been a big issue for most countries when they try to find ways to stop terrorism, its a pain for many. The bad thong is that when these people are confronted they find more reason to fight back. I have often asked myself, most of the time muslims ar3 the ones who are pointed at, and from th3 knowledge that i have for this people is that they ar3 veru prayerul and they take their relugion very seriously so when they are accused i always wonder. I mean why would someone bomb down a fellow human being all for what? The one thing i know is that some of them do it for the money part of it and i find that quite alarming. How do you sacrifice your life to loose other lives, there’s something obviously not right somewhere.
Another thjng is that i hear there are tycoons who usually fund this groups to do all this bad things, in fact they are the main culprits and should be brought to book. Because there ar3 many innocent lives yhat are lost because of them.

Agree that discussion is the way forward. But if you observe one thing if you try discussing you views are thrown into a dustbin and their views are shoved down ones throat. There is a concept of fundamentalist tendency existing which says every other thing except mine is bad according to me and hence has no right to exist. We are told you are either with us or are against us hence are infidels fit to be killed or burnt alive. That is what our religion justifies and they go on to quote some chapter and verse where it is told killing others is a way which leads to  heaven. There are many who find bravado in doing this and also are happy doing this as they get money which is a bonus for their deeds and a passport to heaven. The population also does not reduce as they are taught to have as many children as they want as goods are produced in a factory which is a sad fact.

They do not think the kind of life given to their children and despise people who have less children and are happy and contented.  This is the paradoxical situation in which we have to have a dialogue and try to solve difficulties and issues and some groups and countries breed this tendency and work as a cottage industry for terrorism. Technology and cyber space have been misused and the service providers and the governments are also responsible for this so are the corporates who want to make money but do not want to take any social and ethical responsibility to stop misuse of their sites and channels of communications. This is going to be a long drawn out process. But it has to be carried through.

I am adding new information in this post about the terrorist encounter in a house in Uttar Pradesh, India where ISIS militants wanted to kill lot of people and create panic as it is election time and results are awaited. There are many sleeper cells of terrorists in India which want to kill people and continue with their philosophy of killing in the name of religion and they also feel if they die for the cause the gates of heaven will open for them for they have done Gods bidding by killing people who do not believe in their religion or ideology.

It has nowadays become a fashion to kill people in this way by wielding AK 47’s, grenades, bombs, Ied’s  and other such weaponry. These boys who were neutralized are neither having the finances or such resources and wherewithal to carry out such attacks. It is there in the news papers that one of the boys neutralized was into bad ways and left the house after quarreling with the parents. Later he called his father and told he is going to Afghanistan. The father did not want to take the body of his son who got neutralized and told I have nothing to do with him. But being a parent it is his responsibility to have informed the police authorities if he came he has  or is going to Afghanistan as he will not go to that place for touristic purposes. It also shows there are many forces hell bent on weakening the India and its democratic institutions.

The government of India has to launch massive crackdowns on different pockets where such deviant and wayward characters are residing or roaming around freely. It is lucky that they got information this time. But it will not be the same at all times. It is better to take action than be sorry after mass killings by these people take place.

Remember there is no good or bad terrorist. And these people are a curse on the society. If one goes by their logic then there will be no peace as the other also will take up arms and hunt and kill them. Government has to act more sternly as there are many people with such leanings and bent of mind in many of the states. India has already had a lot of blood of innocent civilians who were unarmed shed by these terrorists. This should not be repeated.
