Terrorism: A Dangerous Game
(School work)
Have you experienced being a sandwich between the militants and soldiers? If you’re hiding from all the fighting outside, the bullets from the terrorists won’t kill you, but fear will. Terrorism has been an issue recently especially from the rise of the ISIS terror organization and the tension between the government’s military forces and the terrorists. Terrorism is like a dangerous real-life strategy game where forces had to come up with tactics and strategies in order to defeat the opposing side but what will be the cost of lives between the firefight? We shouldn’t tolerate terrorism because it brings nothing but chaos.
Terrorism continues to grow and grow whatever happens. One of the reasons is that there’s someone supplying the terrorists with weapons, vehicles, and equipment. The supplier cannot be from the black market but someone from the government with access to military-grade weapons. The terrorists once used an anti-tank missile, which is a military-grade weapon, so there has to be someone supplying the terrorists with weapons that keep providing them enough fire power to counter the military. Terrorism cannot be stopped if both forces have an equal amount of firepower. Though, we can find out whom the supplier is if we tell the government officials that one of them is a supplier of weapons to terrorists.
Another thing about terrorism is that most infamous terrorist groups have connections to the religion of Islam. The connection caused people to avoid Muslims because of fear. The discrimination should stop because that is one of the issues we are currently facing. We should treat those innocent Muslims as friends, instead of a terrorist.
The phrase “allahu ackhbar” is commonly heard from the terrorists. It means “God is great” but Islam doesn’t mean terrorism. From the perspective of the terrorists, their idea of terrorism is about “cleansing” the world in the name of God. Even with religion involved, I don’t agree to this. Terrorism is a false religion. We can educate people to tell the difference between Islam and terrorism, and the latter has no connection to Islam.
I came up with such title because I’m putting the idea of terrorism to first-person shooter games. In these games, if you die, your character respawns. Respawning basically means that your character gets back to life. I thought that if you die in the game, you don’t actually respawn as the same character but your perspective changes to another different character. A lot of people die fighting terrorism so that’s where I got the connection. In conclusion, we should fiat all costs. Not by joining the army, of course. We could start by defending the rights of Muslims, and by finding out that one supplier of weapons inside the government and convince the other government officials to arrest that person.. If there’s no supplier, terrorists have no weapons to begin with, and no terrorism will happen. It doesn’t bring anything good. If you know someone who’s trying to become a terrorist, what are you going to do?
