What is the biggest headache that the world is facing today?
Certainly the most spoken is terrorism! Of course we have several other issues
like education, poverty, environmental changes and many more. However the focus
today has been terrorism. Terrorism has grown to an extent that it has superseded
all other issues.
We have ‘act of terror’ being discussed almost every day in
media & social media. Except few rich countries of Middle East like Dubai,
Abu Dhabi probably there is no country in this world which is not affected by
terrorism.
There is no more clarification or confirmation required to
the fact that Pakistan & Afghanistan are the places where terrorism is
grown! It is also an established fact today that the funding that Pakistan
& Afghanistan received from US was utilized to grow terrorism. There is no
doubt that the ISIS is Syria, Iraq & in the neighbouring countries is the
biggest terrorist group today. Also no more evidence is required to the fact
that all the acts of terror today are executed by radical Islamist groups.
Well, now we know where it originated, where it has the
strong base, who funded, what is the motive etc. It should be easy to destroy
them right? Well known Canadian writer, publisher Mr. Tarek Fatah says ‘destroy
Pakistan; that is THE solution to put an end to terrorism’. I tend to disagree
with him! Radicalisation by Islamic terrorists has reached to an extent that,
today it is really difficult to identify who is radicalised & who is not.
Let us take the recent case of shooting in California. The family of Syed Rizwan
Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik say that they are in shock; they had no clue
that Syed & Tashfeen could do this.
I also have many Muslim friends. All my neighbours in my
hometown are Muslims. We are so friendly, cooperative and share so many things
and I dont find a trace of radicalisation in them. I am sure that this is the
experience with rest of non-Muslims. It is only when one such person of our acquaintance
is being taken in custody for terror links we get to know that he/she had such
a link! The radicalization is going on via all kind of medium that is possible.
We are unable to trace all of them in spite of having all modern technology! And
every time it is an act by Radical Islamic group!
How do we identify every person who is being radicalised,
how do we identify that person who could be a threat to our society? How do we
identify those rotten apples from the basket in which every apple looks perfect
from outside?
