Extremes

How extreme can one get?

Is there a line between extremism and moral grounds? And whose right is it to run such a test?

Rarely in our community are asked as to why we need to do something because of a decision making process that commit to, internally. Fact of the matter, no one dares to ask us why we did anything because they know better than to ask of what is not their business.

But in times of peril, or haunting problems that involve nations of other relegions, societies, communities or even countries that are twice the size of ours, where do we draw that line?

9/11 asked itself a question; Why does the world hate the USA? In some nations the answer is obvious, relating to which the violence that is erupted in a day-to-day lifestyle in the Palestinian occupied territories and the so called state of 'Israel'. Others had led the same opinion only to expand further of what the super-power's foriegn policy during the current Bush administration could be called 'a baby's rattle' to be played about as it pleases to it's likes and dislikes.

Then there was 5/11 which included the London area bombings by a group of unknown terrorists. Of which the reason behind that tragedy is still unknown, yet, whatever it could be, is inexcusable in all relegions and ethnic societies, no matter what nation they belonged to.

Extremists live within us in silent cells, working their way as they deviously plan ahead to devour the nation, the population, and most importantly, the innocent of their very day-to-day lives. Putting a more 'strong statement' to world leaders that whatever it is needs to be dealt with right away.

The solution behind such a battered genre of groups is not to go back and trace their footsteps and what they have done but rather take action in the most unkilling way possible that would rid these societies of these 'creatures' before the disaster cultivates itself amongst the nation to become a societal norm.

Wars are not the answer.

Swifter action in a more quite pretence is.

If someone goes crazy and kills all of his classmates with a shot gun then str8 away there are indeph discussions as to why something like that happens in the 1st place and how it can be stoped.

But when someone does terroism people dont care about the cause and why it happens and so the world then never knows why such horrible acts happen.

Heyyyyyy...salam, bro! ;o)

where ya been? long time no diss! :P

And I couldn't agree with you more about why people go frantically after the purpotrates without asking themselves the much needed questions of logic and sensiblity.

Sara:

I think what you mean to say here is that you don't think anyone's born evil nor good and therefore it is their experience, the environment and the people which reflects on their future personalities.

Do I assume this correctly?

WEll yes u are right tht is what i mean.i guess i didnt put it the right way:P.Anywayz no one is born evil.!!Extermist are the way they r cuz of wat thay have gone thru.WEll many ppl call the palestinian as extremist,but in my opinion they are just doing wat they can to get rid of the oppressive rule.And if that means killing then well that is what they are being taught.Cuz their elders only see a way out by doing tht.But i don't reaally agree with violence cuz its nt the way right way.I guess u are getting what i am saying.hopfully!!:)

Sara:

No I do get what you mean... you mean to say that Palestinians could not be tagged as extremists nor terrorist because they are trying to get back what is rightfully theirs...

And I back you up on that 1,000,000%
