There was world-wide joy yesterday as the belly of intended terrorist bombing campaign over 10 transatlantic flights to the U.S. were ripped opened by British and Pakistani counter-terrorism detectives.
This event once again confirms that terrorism is not just an impulsive and angry response by an insane group bent on destroying western democracies. This aborted plot showed traces of a long-term, meticulous and clandestine group who PATIENTLY planned, calculated and waited for the hour to strike.
We have inadvertently permitted terrorism to flourish because we failed to address and deal with the THREE deep roots of terrorism. Let me first identify these three "fertilizers" of terrorism before proffering solutions of dealing with them. They are:
1. A COWARDLY, SELF-PRESERVING and OPPORTUNIST LEADERSHIP CORE
2. A Triangular PHILOSOPHY of POPULISM, MARTYRDOM and FEAR
3. An HATE ARMY of YOUNG FOOT-SOLDIERS as HEROIC GUINEA PIGS
The real leaders and inspiration behind terrorism, are a very rational and intelligent (albeit negatively) being. The moment we begin to see them as so, the better we would be equipped to deal with this scourge. In their cowardly bid for self-preservation, they refuse to "lead by example" of the 'martyrdom' which they preached to their innocently gullible followers, and for the cause which they professed, they treacherously deceive and mislead innocent young lads with the promise of Al'janah "heaven" so as to commit suicide and mass murder in the name of God.
These innocent and exuberant young lads were recruited on the basis of false, illusory and hate philosophy, trained and used as cannon fodder- the "heroic" Guinea pigs of terror, the dispensable pawns on the chess board of world terrorism, currently being master-minded by Al-Queada's Osama Bn Laden. These are the foot soldiers hate activism, let loose in the barbaric warfare against civilization and development.
Another important structure in the arsenal of terror is what I call The Triangular Philosophy. This is taught in terror classes and training camps to indoctrinate the gullible youth victims. Terrorism, realising its weakness and utterly abominable acts by the larger society, sought refuge in these 3-pronged philosophy of Martyrdom, Populism and Fear.
Martyrdom became a distorted theory in the hands of terror, to inspire its captive students of the 'glorious' place heroes occupy in the heart of every society, long after they are dead. They inspire the captives unto suicide and mass murder so they would become world "heroes" of Islam and Allah.
Populism is one great refuge desperately sought by an isolated, enstranged and ostracised terror gang in desperate need of acceptance by the larger society. An undemocratic terror sect seeks popularity among the moslem world desiring to lean on religious demagoguery, masquerading as the avenger and champions of 'persecuted' Islam.
Fear is the last instrument in the hands of a failed murderous group. They seek to instil fear by violent means in the mind of a public that has refused to accept the cold-blooded insanity of terrorism. Having failed to win the battle of reason and logic, they seek to opportunistically exploit public desire for peace and development, by using violent means to scare the people into pressurising Western Governments to "leave Islam alone" and withdraw their forces from Iraq, Afghanistan, and withdrawal of Israel from Palestine and Southern Lebanon. To drive popular mood and indignation, by placing the blame for their murderous acts at the doorstep Western Governments.
The method of exposure and arrest of these terror plotters, for the first time shows we are no longer dealing with them as a maddening crowd that must be tackled with an array of emergency and panic measures. Tracking a terror plot for 13 months and allowing it germinate, multiply and breed more terror cells under the watchful eyes of the state over a controlled period of time, before swooping on them is a coordinated and matured tool in the arsenal of counter-terrorism.
It is time to take the battle against terror to its recruiting ground. Superior philosophy to terrorist escape valley must be channelled to neutralise the fertilizer of terrorism in the Moslem communities where the recruits of terror are enlisted.
The self-preservative opportunism of the leadership must be exposed and the captive philosophy of submission to be used as cannon fodders or guinea pigs for terrorism must also be unmasked and dismantled among the Moslem youth. These are some of the measures to counter the psychology of terror which many a disillusioned Moslem youth feed on and thereby making terrorism to flourish.
