On 22nd March 2017, there was a terrorist attack on Westminster
Bridge & parliament building in London. 5 people have died and 50 persons
have been injured. This was the biggest terrorist attack after 7/11 bombings in
London. UK police has categorized this attack as terrorist attack and ISIS have
taken responsibility of the attack. But there have been a few question raised
about categorizing this attack as terrorist incident. Al Jazeera published an article
with headline “When does a crime become an act of 'terrorism'?”Is world safe from terrorism or still it is the biggest
problem of today’s world?
World opinion on terrorism changed dramatically after 9/11 and it was reinforced after 7/11 London blasts. Western Governments suddenly woke up against terrorists which they themselves had nurtured with allies over the years. Now the situation is similar. Western powers along with their middle-eastern allies have messed up Syrian crisis and now ISIS is more determined to attack in Western Europe despite severe setbacks in Iraq & Syria. We read the news of terrorist attacks in Western Europe very frequently in last 2-3 years. I can safely say that Indian cities are safer than German or French cities today with respect to terrorist attacks. No one knows how many ISIS sleeper cells or sympathizers have entered Europe as refugees. With millions of middle-eastern refugees in Europe, ISIS is finding an easy recruiting ground. Sometimes, I think Donand Trump or right wing European parties may be right on ban on refugee. Europe should look to its own problems first and then help refuges.
World leaders must solve the root cause of recent attacks – ISIS. Iraqi & Syrian Government forces have gained good ground against ISIS in their respective countries. But there is no common agenda for fighting ISIS. Turkey has its own agenda in Syria, Russia & Iran supports Syrian regime, West wants to see Assad deposed and Saudis along with its allies want Sunni domination and end of Assad. ISIS may not be destroyed completely if all stakeholders don’t fight it together. Now we have witnessed ISIS attacks in South Asian counties like Pakistan & India. We were very proud that there were hardly an Indian in Al Qaeda but we read many reports of Indians joining ISIS in Syria. Yesterday France & Germany was attacked, today London is being attack and tomorrow a US city may be attacked. America should not wait till another terrorist attack on its soil. It should make an agreement with Russia on fighting ISIS in Syria. Assad may be deposed some other day but ISIS & Al Nusra like organizations must be wiped off from Syria. Even Putin should understand the gravity of situation & ty to mediate a united front against terrorist (with or without Assad) in Syria. ISIS have not spared Russians either and now they have attacked in Britain also.We must remember that there are no good or bad terrorists. All terrorists are bad and must be eliminated at all costs.
Big powers must take Arabs into confidence also in fight against terrorist and Arab world should not question the authenticity of terrorist attacks. IF ISIS wins significant victories in Syria & Iraq, there next target may be Sunni Arab counties or Iran. They may attack other countries once or twice via a few terrorists but they will fight open pitch battles with another Arabs. India should prepare a strategy for ISIS. It is not only a problem of middle-east but it may soon become big problem for India. India shul also participate in talks against ISIS and should work with all stake holders to finish ISIS. ISIS is the most dangerous terrorist organization ever and it is many times more deadly that Al Qaeda. ISIS must be eliminated soon otherwise the world may never be same again.
