The cruel Terror Attack in Paris

Paris saw one of the worst terrorist attacks in its history on 13-11-2015. People were crying, people were dying, and they were shouting for help, people were lying on the ground with their head covered by their own hands. The burst of fires were coming from all directions. The terrorists shot several rounds of fire at people around. Each fire hit someone somewhere and every fire damaged what came in its way. Terrorists were firing without any fear but they acted as trained soldiers fighting in a battle ground killing the enemy. They fired for 10 to15 minutes in all but that will change the mindset of every right thinking person from now on.

The terrorists even reloaded their guns when the ammunition in the guns was finished. Everything went like trained army platoon carrying a military operation. They reloaded their guns several times. There was no panic among the terrorists, they did not utter a single word during the entire operation but carried out the whole operation like a well oiled machine. They were well trained and this makes me think – is it the beginning of World War-3?  

9/11 or Charlie Hebdo 

I want to ask, do you find anything similar in jihadist attack which happened on 13/11 in Paris was it more similar to 9/11 than the Charlie Hebdo shooting. I feel France and other countries which carried out attacks on ISIS need to increase their surveillance powers after this dreaded attack. In fact the entire Europe needs. People might say and denounce it by saying the attack was shocking and it should offend the conscience of every single person whatever his beliefs or their religious identity.

As far I am concerned being an Indian I can only say and wish to make it clear that we are with French people with my complete solidarity and unwavering support for the people of France in their moment of plight and I am sure France will come out of the shock and fight with the enemy and will make them more determined to combat the terror.  No, I say it again that it was certainly not Charlie Hebdo type attack but it was more like twin tower attack in America the infamous 9/11. It is no lesser than a full fledged war but the question remains, is it the beginning of World War-3?

The reminder

The incident reminds us of Mumbai on 26/11/2008 when terrorist killed 165 people in almost similar pattern. But most countries did not notice with the same intensity as the incidents in New York or Paris and this is not the first incident in Paris but the terrorists have hit France thrice in last 10 months or so starting with the Charlie Hebdo shooting, then the Jewish departmental store which saw 17 people killed and now these attacks. 

The message is loud and clear the terrorists do not want France especially Paris the fashion capital of the world to be champion of secularism, a true secular and not the one like we have in our country where secularism means taking sides of any particular religion. Maybe the terrorists retaliated against French government’s decision of attacking IS camps in Syria since the incident took the next day the English terrorist John was killed. If you have forgotten about Jihadi John, it’s the same person who has been involved in many murders of reporters and citizens of European countries and has been shown on television with a knife in his one hand and his future victim in his other hand. Jihadi John has been involved with many murders by cutting their necks, crushing innocent people under the vehicles or throwing them down from top of the buildings. 

What purpose will it serve?

No one knows the motto of all such cruel acts but it’s nothing new and brings my question back in front of you once again- is it beginning of the World War-3 because when Hitler killed innocent Jews in his Nazi concentration camps even he had no motto. There was no obvious reason whatsoever but the cruelty he wanted to show to the world about his supremacy. I don’t think there is a need to say that murders of innocents has always been the tool of politicians be it the government sponsored killings or political groups against the elected governments. But the ultimate result is always the same the suffering families and the orphan children. But the story goes on or should I say the history keeps repeating itself. But will there be an end to it or is it the beginning of the World War-3?   

Let’s go into the past

The western countries were unaware about such acts until 9/11 happened as they thought that this was limited to certain illiterate Asian and African countries which do it as a pastime. The Westerners also thought that all these people/countries facing terrorist acts deserve the acts as they are not worth sitting with advanced countries who can handle all such problems easily and while thinking so they were in fact the suppliers of arms and other destructive ideas to those countries including sales of drugs. In fact, they did not know they were pushing the world towards hell and they were not aware that they were part of the game, not until 9/11. But they were still not fully aware of the hard realities. 

The western world woke up and saw the reality after 9/11 but they still thought they will be able to handle the situation, at least in their part of the world so they started to take precautionary measures but in their own way. For them the terror still had two faces the good terrorism and the bad terrorism, the Bad Taliban and the Good Taliban but what they did not know that terrorism is terrorism and you cannot name them or divide them in groups. The result is for everyone to see.  For instance, our neighboring country Pakistan who is responsible for terrorism in Kashmir and Punjab faces lot more deaths in Pakistan by the act of terrorism in Pakistan compared to India but they are happy that they have become the tool of spreading disturbance in India and they find the solace in this laughable fact. 

Who is behind the scenes?

Actually India is a country with mixed population having different religions and cultures so it’s but natural that we shall see clashes of the thoughts which sometimes turn into real clashes but the situation worsens when the benefit of such clashes goes to politicians who ignite these clashes intentionally. The politicians know it very well that all such activities help the terrorist groups who take the advantage of the situation by creating ‘sleeper cells’ out of the unsatisfied groups/persons. The example is for everyone to see because what happened in Paris has been carried out by such groups only.  Not only the terrorist act that happened on 11/13, but all three attacks in Paris so far have been carried out by sleeper cells. The people who live in our neighborhood as normal people suddenly come out with guns in hands and start killing innocent citizens. And the worst part of their action is that they know almost nothing about the happenings since all the decisions are taken by the people sitting in distant places. These people in sleeper cells do nothing unless they are told to do something and once told to carry out the operation they do not think about the result or their own life. The groups are supported by all kind of think tank in the terrorist groups which do everything to wash their brains where the difference between death and life is not important.

Terrorism with Indian point of view 

Indians, despite being a very tolerant in such matters is currently going through a tough phase or to be on specific point of reality are involved with a useless discussion on tolerance at this particular point, curtsy the politicians. And the debate has reached to such a point where we see no exit gate. People should understand the only beneficiary from all this senseless debate is the terror groups sitting somewhere else. The need of the hour is that we must stay away from all such useless debates not for the time being but once for always. We are Indians and we should show this by our actions, thoughts and talks. It’s time to sing the national anthem together like the French did at the time of terror attack while moving towards exit of the stadium.

The Indians have no choice but to speak what suits Indian interests best otherwise the day is not far off when we shall be facing more terror attacks or worse. The consequences can be seen clearly if we do not stop the war of tolerance or should I say the intolerance the innocent people will suffer paying through their lives. The line is drawn, on one side of the line are the radical war groups and on the other side are the people who do not know anything about the evil designs of dirty politics which is playing the major role of increasing the intolerance among different religious groups and the media also has to play its role with utmost caution too. We must not act in anyway which will help the enemies of humanity. 

Back to original question

The last century saw the madness of two so-called powerful nations, first The Great Britain who with her policy of ‘stay away from the war’ until WW-1 and then the USA who took the back seat unless there was no choice. Only if these two so-called superpowers had played their rolls positively the outcome of the war could have been all together different. Now, the world is standing on the war path and the worst part of this war is that it’s hard to distinguish in between the friends and the foes. But one thing is very much clear that everyone against the destruction will have to come forward and join the forces of peace keeping. The time is running out since the number of Hitler(s) is increasing by the days.  The present scenario shows that the attack on Paris is beginning of WW-3 and if the world does not rise to the occasion the results will be more destructive than our imagination can reach.
