- It is widely discussed at different platforms that the basic reason and cause for Terrorism is Poverty and illiteracy. And the argument given for this is that, because the poor people don’t find food to eat, and because of being uneducated they don’t know the modern way of life so they are easy to convince.
- Terrorists contact them, do brain wash, offer good amount of money for their family and tell them about paradise …………….and finally they become ready to go any extent.
- But if we put a bird eye view on the history of recent so called Terrorism we see that more then 80% people involved or accused for terrorism are well educated, belonging to very rich families. Starting for 9/11 attacks till today, all those whose names came in media or in any other sources of investigation are well off people.
- It denotes that poverty and illiteracy is not the cause for terrorism. The injustice, violation of freedom and abuse of basic rights are the major causes of terrorism. And until and unless we removed them the dream of peace will not come true.
This is what I think …….. What do you think??
?
As far the root causes are concerned, I agree with you that poverty and illiteracy is not a reason for terrorism. because it was already there but there was no terrorism. the injustice, violation and illegal invasion are the basic causes which we have been ignoring through out this war against terrorism.
