WE all know what terrorism is all about. We have seen it on TV. We have read about it. Some of us may even have felt it personally.
Now's the time to actively take part in shutting down the juggernaut called Terrorism.
First, we must know where it has sunk its roots. Second, we must let all the people across all regions where man has made home that there's a better alternative to terror.
We must convince people that NOT supporting terror is not good enough. They must actively participate in bringing down the House of Terror. If a man stands on a soapbox and advocates terror as an answer to some of the ills that exist, then somebody better call the cops.
Terrorists are able to survive for so long because good people continue to keep to themselves. They mind their own business. Minding your own business simply means you are turning your face away in plain sight of a crime being committed in your presence.
What does that tell the criminal? It sends a message to him that he can mug, rob and beat up anybody in the street because he knows nobody has the guts to stop him.
That is basically what is happening around the world. The silent majority is unconsciously aiding the cause of terrorism.
We simply must not remain quiet. Terrorists kill people in large numbers. That is their aim. They want as much chaos as they can muster. They want to eliminate as many innocent people as they can. They want to rob everybody of their peace of mind.
Now, why do the world allow these evil people from acting with impunity? It puzzles me all the time.
If people decide today that they have had enough, no terrorist will find sanctuary anywhere on earth. Simply because there's no place to hide. How do you hide in a neighbourhood of good people.
Good folks know every inch of their own backyard. If a stranger intrudes, even a child knows he's not your usual Joe.
The crime committed by so-called intelligent, hardworking masses is to let the authorities take care of the problem. If we don't actively help the authorities, we are just as guilty as the guilty ones because we refuse to lift a finger to help mankind.
Before the Second World War, the world was in such a stage. People the world over clamour for peace. They march for peace, they cry for peace and they compromise with Hitler. And the price Hitler exacted on these peace-loving people was about 40 million lives. A high price indeed.
Today, at this very hour, if you know you can help to keep terrorism at bay and you do not because you feel it's "not your business", then mankind is in trouble. If the situation is allowed to continue, soon you too will be in trouble.
Terrorism is like a forest fire that threatens all the homes in its path. If you don't help the firemen and your neighbours to put out the fire, soon the flames will spread to your house and engulf it. It is really that simple.
Help yourself, help your neighbour, help your children to see a better tomorrow.
Terrorism finds hope in people who have a habit of "looking the other way". Give these rascals no hope, no shelter, no sanctuary.
Give the rest of the world hope, Instill in them that a peaceful world means food on the tables, safety in cafes, joy in homes, and smiles on human faces.
Why do we allow ourselves to be bullied incessantly and relentlessly by people who harbour suicidal tendencies? Why do we allow our children to be robbed of their future? Why do we allow our parents to grieve unnecessarily for us, should anything happen to us unexpectedly?
Of course, we can do something about it. We should act as one, we should behave as one, and we should tell terrorists and all those who use other people to kill themselves for their own selfish ends to go away and atone for their sins.
If enough people stand up and be counted, the House of Terror will fall tomorrow, and the march of peace will surge to the fore, bringing hope, peace and joy to every home across the globe. This is our right. Let's do it!!
