Thread: Why Terrorism Exists

Lol there is no way terrorism will be solved with blowing up terrorists and Bin Laden and making martyrs out of them. Killing others just breeds more hatred and more terrorism, like it or not. Lets get realistic about this!

If we killed half of Bin Laden's network it would just make him and his followers more determined to persue their agenda to avenge the loss of their friends.

Everyone deep down has love at their core and is looking for peace. I imagine bin laden is too looking for peace in his own convoluted way, even though he does have a deeply troubled mind.

Careful not to get indoctrinated by our governments into thinking that murdering and killing people is the way forward. The more terrorists we kill the more we ourselves become just like the terrorists! Dialogue and compromise and working together will be the only way forward.

Check out the example of northern ireland Universal Look whats been accomplished with talks and dialogue and some compromise on both sides even when the hatred amongst the sides was deeply ingrained. Ian Paisley talking and laughing with Gerry Adams and Martin Mcguiness was unthinkable a few years ago but they put their grievances aside for the best for all even though people like Paisley was in great pain from the loss of family members killed by the other side. I now admire him for being the bigger person as he must have forgiven them now at least to a degree.

Understand that everyone is a person who is worthwhile and worthy of love even though they may have a different point of view. Is Bush or Blair any more sane than Osama, are they any less Killers, they certainly have ordered the deaths of a hell of a lot more people than Osama ever has managed!

I doubt I would persuade you on my point of view but with a lot more love, understanding and forgiveness in the world there would be a lot more progress towards peace

I doubt a real substainable argument could be put together to suggest that Bush and Blair were any more moral than Bin Laden. How many people did Bush order to the electric chair in his time as governer of Texas and how many people have died in Iraq including solidiers (note: they are people too with loved ones as well) its an obscene and disgusting number of deaths attributed to the orders of insanely powerful leaders. Bush and Blair are disgusting examples of humankind.

Is it any more moral to kill for oil and money than for an extremist religious view?
