Terrorism
When someone dreams of instilling terror into the human heart, it is time to uproot the source of such dreams.
We have almost become immune to the word, ‘terrorism.’ Let’s become sensitive once again: picture a human being with the sole objective to terrorize, hurt, destroy, decimate, and slaughter human life. This is terrorism, a euphemism for evil. We understand that people would rather find light in all the dark places, but sometimes a dark place has to be uprooted at its core and replaced with candles and other such light fixtures. They are called suicide bombers because they would choose to kill themselves so that they may kill others. Humanity is obligated to destroy such inhumanity.
