The world has experienced a surge of terrorism since the 1900’s and has lost thousands of innocent civilians to the jaws of unfair and unpredictable death. The rate at which the intensity of such attacks are increasing is nothing but a hard answer to all the stereotypes and unmotivated people out there. Terrorist organisations like Daesh have become a global threat to innocent civilians.
These terrorists recruit intelligent engineers, doctors and other professionally impeccable individuals of high calibre to carry out their master plans of genocide. Many of us would consider this to be an irony because we feel that people educate themselves to become a citizen of high intellect, serving his or her community and country. Now, seeing the darker side of humanity, we only regret to realise the fact that the countless speeches given by world leaders all indicate that the world is united and stands up against all evil.
In the midst of all of this, the mind of the common individual becomes delusional and contemplates itself to rely on statistics. The statistics, apart from stating a wide range of facts related to a particular terrorist attack, also occasionally point out to a particular religion. This is absolutely pointless. It is a universal fact that no religion propagates that violence is the answer to any of our questions.
Apart from this, world leaders have repeatedly stated that the fight against terrorism is not a fight against a particular religion or a community, rather a mass movement against all those who destroy the values of a good society.
It is not only the duty of the world’s largest economies to save the world from the clutches of terrorism, but the duty of every citizen to start believing in their roles about a safer tomorrow. Let us all stand together and raise our voices against innumerable acts of terrorism, against the senseless slaughter of our fellow citizens and also against the false beliefs and associations of terrorism with a particular religion. Let us stop these atrocities and make the world a happy and a safe place to live in.
