Terror Attack in Paris --- What Scares Me?
The terror attack on November 13, 2015 in Paris is most disturbing. If anything, it strengthens my long-held stand on religion. We can argue all we want that the central characteristic of every faith is spiritual and therefore directed towards peace. But the difference between a Good Muslim(穆斯林) and ISIS(伊斯兰国), is not the difference of religion, but the difference in the way they look at, understand and interpret their faith. Let me make it absolutely clear, religion is full of such ideas as are likely to be used by a dishonest man to commit all kinds of injustice. The only true body of ideas that I can ever claim complete loyalty to is human rights and human rights only. But the question more importantly I suppose is what has religion turned us into? Even as we are debating the best way to fight terrorism, protests are breaking out in Germany seeking a stricter check against immigration. But the ones fleeing their home countries to seek protection in Europe are not always terrorists, are they? Many a time, they are concerned fathers, scared for the safety of his 16-year-old daughter, who may well be married to an ISIS fighter to bear 10 children in 10 years. As fathers, uncles, grandfathers to children ourselves, does our conscience really permit us to refuse any protection to that father? Terrorists don’t scare me---because a bunch of madmen using religion to get personal gain while hurting innocent people is nothing new. But what scares me is that when our character is tested by the attack of such poisonous ideas, we will fail. I am terrified that in our moment of feeling emotionally weak and scared, we will abandon our humanity for a false sense of security, only for our children to pay the price for what we do. Now more than ever, we must remain true to our values of compassion, love and kindness. Because if anything can save the soul of the poor man from falling into the evil designs of extremism, it is society’s helping hand and the feeling of belonging that only we can inspire. To the rich man who funds terror and even volunteers for it, all I can say is that you will pay for your crimes one way or another.
