Terror is abhorred all over the world while peace is the requirement of every society around the globe. People are forced to face violence on a daily basis. In some parts of the world, people have almost become accustomed to this alien idea. They have accepted the fact that there are people out there who will not let them live in peace. And they have come to terms with this fact.
Terror is something that has engulfed the countries of the Middle East. From Palestine through Iraq to Turkey, there are daily bombings, suicide attacks and gunfights that result in the deaths of innocent people.
In fact, terror plots are being made by these extremist elements who keep in mind that they should inflict maximum damage on the innocents. Though the Middle East is the particular target of daily bombings and terror incidents, the West has not been completely spared the threat.
There have been numerous terror attacks in the capitals of Europe including Copenhagen, Paris, Brussels and even attacks in America. But it is also a fact that in the West these attacks are not as deadly nor as frequent as they are in the Middle East.
We can still remember that the world was not such a horrible place before 2011. In fact, even after the September attacks in New York, the world was still not a target of terrorists.
However, when George Bush declared that a clash of civilizations was in the making, it turned everything upside down. The war on terror unleashed by the American administration unleashed a monster that has almost destroyed the entire world.
One of the reasons for these daily terror attacks is the American invasion of Iraq, an unlawful invasion based on lies. This action unleashed the power of all the extremist elements within the Middle East, who had been kept at bay by Saddam Hussein for years.
Terror in the Middle East is also linked with the Arab Israeli conflict and the daily sufferings of the Palestinians. Muslims all over the world are able to see that Israel is carrying out with impunity a massacre of the Palestinians, and there is no one trying to stop it. This creates a sense of helplessness and the need to do something about the injustice.
