Congratulations to sane Muslim brethren and non-Muslims for surviving death and destruction on holy month of Ramadan at the hands of lunatics.Terrorism is evil and those who fail to speak up are cowards.The indifference of silent majority only emboldens these Islamic lunatics .From Turkey to Bangladesh unending massacre of civilians and security personal in the month of Ramadan is continuing unabated . With ambition of uniting the whole Muslim world under one caliphate and then subjugating the world to convert or perish is the ulterior motive of bigots. The brutal murders of atheists bloggers or Hindu priests in Bangladesh or Coptic Christians in Egypt and Libya testifies the ugly truth. Ironically largest victims of Islamic terror violence are coreligionists who don't believe in their ideology.
Spike in terror unleashed by terror mongers during Muslim month is harrowing. It seems Ramadan has almost become an excuse for perpetuating violence often with tacit understanding of religious leaders who choose to remain ignorant. Ramadan death toll till now stands at an eye popping 8307 till now. Ghastly tales of abduction , rapes ,conversion, beheadings are pouring in from Nigeria to Afghanistan with no end in sight. Destructive and polluted ideology is the breeding ground for terrorists and root causes of disharmony.
Year Death Count Relative to Previous Year 2015 6437 23.8% (D)
2014 8450 27.5% (U)
2013 6625 94.7% (U)
2012 3402 66.6% (U)
2011 2042 52.5% (U)
A counterrevolution should be initiated to challenge the menace of terrorism head-on. The ostrich kind approach isn't working and has caused more harm. The piling of corpses has only increased and terror reached newer territories. Terrorist ideology shouldn't be tolerated and fiercely condemned politically, militarily and ideologically . So far war on terror has yielded limited success as the governments have shied away from addressing the root cause of terror i.e the twisted ideology of Islam propagated and funded by few states. Intolerance towards other religions is growing alarmingly among Muslim communities Its about time that the "politically correct" lies propagated by politicians and individuals is abandoned.
The lurking danger to life and property gets enhanced due to opportunist politicians and armchair liberals who try to defend the ignominious acts of Islamic terror, bruised aside as simple law and order problem. Lone voices opposing to terrorists is silenced and is branded Islamophobic. There had been instances where these groups have combined their strength to hogwash serious ideological debates and tried to portray terrorists as victims often illiterates and thus gullible. Apart from terrorists this motley group of self righteous individuals lead to irreparable damage by blunting the fight against terror.
While social media has given extremists a global megaphone to spread their message, its over exploitation on holy Muslim months is startling. Terror clerics have openly asked followers of Islam to " embark and hasten toward jihad thus make Ramadan a month of disasters for the infidels." Violence and venomous speeches will continue as long as government world over doesn't understand the gravity of situation and concerted efforts aren't taken to end the ugly monster of Islamic terror. Muslim societies must ponder the increasing tendencies of their youngsters toward violence in a multicultural world. Introspection by Muslim societies alone has the wherewithal to wean away youngsters from falling prey to bigots. The venomous ideology of hate has to be openly confronted and the shriller voices should come from within Muslim community.
