A few weeks back, 21 youths from our god’s own country left
their family and jobs to join the terrorist organization that has now turned
into a global phenomenon. What made
these highly educated professionals to have ideals more primitive than the illiterate
Afghan terrorists? How did the ideas like hell, heaven and salvation influence
them deep enough to become terrorists?
The parents now proclaim that they are no longer our
children. They cannot get away from the responsibility that easily. They are
the ones who sent their innocent little children to the intoxication
nicknamed religious studies. There is solid evidence that a lot of terrorist
ideas are spread through these places. The naive little minds are seeded with
emotional pressure points in their early childhood. After this, all further
education is rendered worthless. They can be influenced into terrorism
exploiting these pressure points. They are taught that a mob may be nothing to
a king, but a king is nothing to god. Such thoughts are what make them forget
laws when it comes to religion. Well, a god is nothing to non believer.
Religion is not necessary to spread the love and harmony. I do not intend to
preach atheism but we have to think before we make religion the pillars of our
children’s worlds. We have to destroy this evil from its roots. The world
nations must unite in the battle against this danger that has grasped the
global society. Anything less than a strong combined fight would be like trying
a band aid for a deadly malignant tumor.
