By definition , Terrorism is about ideology. It’s pretty clear what ISIS wants. Same as the gunman in NZ. Why they exist is a more complicated question. I mean this will not become a big headline, but US army has killed more civilians than taliban in Afghanistan, as per latest NYtimes report. Western foreign policy has created a monster and this vicious cycle of violence that never ends.
Attack is nothing but religious people following the hard-line Islam(Wahabbism) which calls upon killing of Non believers.
Yes lets blame ourselves for the plague as well - get a grip
Religion is a tool that will be used by extremists to further hate n there is no stopping some ideas
Regarding SL - this is a classic soft target that highlights how the issue has become global and boundaryless - I do feel n fear about the future
I fail to understand how SL should be connected to the NZ shootings
M1, that’s daft. Taliban was a direct result of US arming Afghanistan against the Russians. Jihad was actually considered a good word, US helping to stop the spread of communism. They didn’t realize what will happen with the armed militia after the Russians leave. ISIS was direct result of the Iraq war and the unplanned interference in geo political dynamics in the region. US drones kill children and civilians , guess what that inspires? What happens after US leaves Syria and Turkey launches full time assault on Kurds , the supposed allies of the US against ISIS.
So yea, a deep introspection of screwed up policies is required . Otherwise Indonesia should be the epicenter of all terrorism if we keep blaming religion. People should educate themselves and stop oversimplification of this issue.
M2, both are terrorist incidents inspired by an ideology. On connection, google yourself. They represents the new face of terror.
See EY1 there you go, there’s always a “justification” for why terrorism occurs. It’s always someone else’s fault.
What the excuse for Sri Lanka? And as D1 said, Indonesia has suffered quite a few terrorist attacks.
There’s no “geopolitical” effect here it’s just mindless religious fanaticism.
And there’s a common thread across all these attacks.
