Why terrorist everywhere?

India
June 29, 2010 5:21am CST
I was thinking about the terrorists, the so called Maobadi and Naxalites in my city and my country, who kill innocent people, blowout railway tracks. But this morning, I was really shocked to read this in Yahoo news, it says, “Terrorists will set off an atom bomb in the US within the next three years, retired nuclear scientist Robert Beeman has predicted in his just-released novel, ‘No More Time For Sorrow’. Beeman maintains that the sacking of the commander of the US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, will only help the terrorists. "America's enemies in Afghanistan will take renewed encouragement from General McChrystal's firing," the 65-year-old debutant author says. "They will interpret President Barack Obama's action as ideology trumping defence," he adds. Ironically, Beeman spent much of his working life as a scientist at the Three Mile Island civilian nuclear facility, which made international headlines on March 28, 1978, when one of its reactors had a meltdown. It was the most serious accident to have taken place ever in an American nuclear facility. Beeman, who sounds hawkish in the positions he takes on issues, says General McChrystal had been called back to the "woodshed" in Washington because he spoke out against administrative policies. My question is, why we have these terrorists on the globe, what sadistic pleasure they get by keeling people? Share your view on this please. Professor

dear professor, the power to lead. probably the power to spread religion. i am not against religion more so, Islam. but there is no other religious group except Islam that uses it as reason to commit murder. can you see this reason: when a christian or a hindi goes crazy and kills somebody or many, it is not called a christian or hindi crime because it was not done in the name of Christianity or Hinduism compared to the Islamic terrorists. they do it in the name of Islam. also, another reason they attack is because they are protecting themselves against oppression. foreign soldiers go to their land to kill the so called "terrorists" and civilians are caught in between and they hate the foreigners doing it in their own land. Islam allows attack to be categorized as defense as it is convenient. but like every other religion, a muslim who kills innocent people is not a true Muslim. i only wish that people have peace and love in each and every heart and remove the envy and hate in their minds. that is the only way we will find peace. have a nice day. ann

The trend of terrorists is almost everywhere, commit sucide with bomb and killing other innocent people , to them their actions are holy in God's eye. What a foolish thinking is this. God is kindly and lovely so created mankind in this planet, the purpose of God so that man can recognize Him and follow God's will and want. So the purpose of religion is to bring peace and unity, live peacefully under one sun in one earth. Who say you have the right to take away other lives, our lives are on God's hand. Because of the misinterpretion of religion they follow the teaching and become terrorist thinking through this they can bring new world order by eliminating their enemies. Their behaviour has just begin like a burning bush by doing bad things , they will stop when their heart had burnt off like the candle light had finish giving light. The day will come then when mankind is getting out of this terrible shadows. Only loves can fight against man hatred and peace will come when justice is applied.

I dont think this firing should have tok place we are to have freedom of speech and if he dont like the ways Obama does things it his freedom of speech should have worked. Obama is very thin skinned and really had no reason to call him back . Also we have terrorist groups here inthe states and we know where they are and where thier compounds are and I dont understand why we havent gone in al got rid of them. Heck they attacked the poligimst compounds why can they go after the terroists camps that are here?

I found it difficult to get the reason behind all these sick and ill acts from goup of peoples. I read the news of CH Naxal attack and again J & K issue. There are many lifes struggling for survival, our soldiers are away from family to protect us and giving their life. I hate politics, Mr President is very sensitive about a single word said about him, why does not he act on Other terrorist nations instead of just punishing Army general, act on Pakistan instead of providing funds to buy weapons. Our goverment is also not effective in dealing with naxal issue, just blame game all the time, we are loosing soldiers and innocent peoples in all these acts. Hope things will improve.

Hi, Professor. A great topic you brought up. Various terrorism activities increasingly rise up in recent years. Such horrible phenomenon bothered our common life and also hurt innocent people even their lives. Just as you say, I do not understand what sadistic pleasure the terrorists get by killing innocent people. That is definitely extreme behavior. We all need world peace to lead a peaceful life. God bless all! Happy mylotting!

they gain nothing when people lose everything.literally, but i guess they view themself as giving up for god, or allah whatever. But why would "he" want to kill eveyone, maybe to cleanse or purify. Its a pathetic belief that by killing innocent, even guilty people will better the world.I wonder how stupid they feel in hell, wondering how they could have accomplished more in life.

Bad ideas comes from bad conditions.There are many people living in poor conditions.No good education,no resource of power or wealth,they can hardly find their value of life in the society.So they try to find their power of infulence by extreme means. Another reason is religion cultures' confliction. Balance of development around the world and culture exchange is important for us.Good education can change the fate of history.

I think, the terrorist movement rise because there problem about economic envy and jealousy social between poor country and rich country which can't be tackled properly, wisely and sensibly. You can see, in global way, the terrorist movement has almost certainly come from poorer countries

Funny you should bring this up! It's technology's fault. Man has expanded among other things travel and communications. Everyone in the world knows what has happened on the other side of the planet within hours. Cultures clash. We are being told, at least in the US, terrorists think they are fighting a holy war. "Theirs is the best God", is their mentality. If this is true what was once confined to a limited area now covers the entire earth. It is born from poverty and a lack of jobs. As far as McChrystal goes, again we are told in the states there is a reason decisions are made in the military that come from above you that you have no idea as to why. Your superiors have more intelligence, meaning more access to knowledge than you have about the situation. You are trained in the military to follow what your superiors direct, no questions asked. We have movies that reinforce this concept. Right or wrong, I believe without the American People this world world would be a very sad place.

I think that terrorist are the main enemy of human being. They are the wrong creation of God. The main point which make these terrorist powerful is the fear and weakness of normal people. They take the advantage of innocence people's fear and starts there bloody destroying work. I think if we all protest this terrorism then the terrorist may afraid of doing this kind of works. We need to also detect the people who are supplying explosive and arms to these terrorist. Our league of Nation should get strongly united and protect this terrorism. All of the countries in the world are needed to be united strongly and have to protest these terrorist from doing their terrorism. Professor2010 I must thank you for creating such a generous and interesting discussion.
