Terrorism[Final]

TERRORISM
“Great power comes with great responsibility” (Peter Parker, Spiderman). Terrorism is a crime that most people feared of because terrorists want POWER over the world. Terrorism includes only those acts which are intended to create fear or terror; we can also state that it is an unlawful use of violence to frighten people.

The main problem now is that many countries are having war as the solution for terrorism; the war between the different countries around us affects us. Of course we are affected because many people / places are being destroyed and maybe the terrorist are also planning to sabotage our country. Terrorism in the Philippines is being conducted by militant Islamic groups; they are killing people for them to fight for their religious beliefs. Based on the writings of their bible “The Quran” “it says there that Muslims should Strive hard against the unbelievers, and be firm against them.”(http://www.religioustolerance.org/) or terrorists just want to scare people out.

Suicide bombing is very common for terrorists and because of that, the military or the police investigators can‘t find an evidence whose group did that bombing .Hostage taking or kidnapping is also a common crime that the terrorist usually does because it really give terror to his/ her relatives or even in the people who is attached to the victim. Suicide bombing is the most sinful crime because they are not only killing themselves but everyone around them.

Many people today are suffering and dying because of those terrorists. They are so good; they plan all their tactics very well. Our government is being occupied with debates on how to stop terrorism, but still they can’t find the answer; even they found a solution still it doesn’t work well. In our economic world, businesses avoid places being targeted by terrorists so that they know that their business is safe.

In other countries, people have been finding some ways to solve terrorism. In United States they say that we have gadgets, we have technology, why don’t we use them, so that’s why anti-terrorist means eliminating all terrorists/ or fighting them because it’s the only way we could do. To fight them! The Department of Defense also suggests that we should eliminate collective social stress. No collective stress means no tension between the United States and other countries in terms of religious groups, and others. United states also recognize the most dangerous terrorists and they planned not to motivate them to find war as their only chance to spread their religion.

I believe that we can’t do anything to stop war, in and out of our country. The only way that I thought about how to stop terrorism is that there should be only one religion that we should believe in, because I thought that everybody can now understand everybody’s situation. But before we can have that one religion, there will be a great fight and those that are left behind will be the ones spreading that their religion will be the religion of all the people in this Earth. I know this is impossible, but it can be possible someday and it will be bloody (This solution is just playing on my mind; I’m not really proposing this solution). Our government should do something to prevent terrorism, I know they are doing their best, but their best wasn’t good enough. One of the solutions I thought about in bombing is that we need a scanner in all malls just like the ones we see in airports. It can detect guns, bombs and any gadget that can kill because inspection of bag is very disturbing and not 100% sure that a person has a gun or a bomb. What if that person hid his gun/bomb in the secret pocket of his bag and the security did not notice it. Many people will suffer and die. Hostage taking is very common nowadays so we need more protection. Even inside our house is not safe anymore. I got news from a friend that there is this family that is murdered inside their house. I blame the guard of their subdivision because he is not doing his responsibility. I suggest we need more trained security guards in every subdivision there is or for more protection. We need seminars for parents who are letting their children play outside their house because it’s not safe. Sometimes terror is also important to us because it serves us a wake up call and without it, how would we know if we need to act or do something to protect our family.
