Dilemma of Mobile Human Bombs

The spate of suicide bombings is perpetually worsening already volatile law and order situation in certain regions of the world. Blowing one up is an extreme form of terrorism because the brainwashed mobile human bombs not only kill other people but are bound to destroy themselves for complete accomplishment of their terrible missions. The dying to destroy operations are the worst forms of violence because the attackers blow to pieces to cause maximum damage to their targets, more easily attack their adversaries as compare to planted bombs and leave little traces for investigation because of the assaulters’ self-destruction.

Therefore, to bulwark suicide bombing is a hard nut to crack. Extremism and terrorism neither breed in a day nor can they be stamped out overnight. Exposure of immature minds to torrents of bigoted ideas during their formative phase of life is the major cause of fanaticism. Due to perpetual exposure to fierce speeches and violence generating print and electronic media the exposed individuals develop hardheaded outlook. After incorporation of fanatic ideas they do not change them throughout their lives. These live balls of fire can be misused by nefarious elements for materialization of their personal agendas. Extremism and exorbitant kind of terrorism can be rooted out through rejuvenation of vibrant social institutions because their full-fledged and active participation to socialize human beings is mandatory to groom them on moderate and modern lines to make them viable members of society.

Unprecedented extremism and outrageous terrorist activities in the contemporary world are direct or indirect repercussions of degradation of consanguine families to nuclear families. This individualism in the society provides fertile breeding ground for torrent of immoderate emotions to mushroom. The presence of a cracked education system has augmented menaces of belligerence and brutality manifolds because it teaches means of churning out money without providing guidance for character building or indoctrination of tolerance, ethical values and moral principles. The existence of a capitalist economic system that is based on exploitation has developed sense of deprivation in the people scrapping the bottom of the barrel. They resort to violent means to settle their scores with the loaded on-velvet class whom they consider responsible for their dismal state of affairs.

Deliberate distortion of religious instructions by the vested interests to inculcate extremism instead of instilling grains of forbearance and fraternity through actual religious teachings has resulted in several incidents of bloodshed. Corollary of delivering fierce speeches that instill violence and propaganda of wheeler-dealer and paranoid mass media to spread such loath-laden print and telecast materials adds fuel to the fire. Unbridled freedom of expression that ignites and insult sentiments of others incites people to fiercely retaliate in the name of protecting their faiths and ideologies. In the contemporary world man has made progress in the scientific arena with gigantic strides. But, sarcastically, with each passing day he is becoming more indifferent and brutal because of unchecked burgeoning and misuse of scientific technology that have thrown gleams of anticipation to found global harmony and peaceful co-existence to the back burner. He has prepared deadly weapons of mass destruction that can steamroll the whole human race in case of eruption of a global warfare. Therefore, all his progress in this context is counterproductive.
