RE:Lving on the edge
by mohammed yunus on Jul 03, 2007 02:59 PM

Mr. Prashant and Mr. Ketan,, I would like to highlight three broad reasons why terrorism has come into existence. Number 1 %u2013 Poverty, Number 2 %u2013 Western super power%u2019s foreign policies towards certain parts of the developing countries, especially in the middle eastern countries and Number 3 %u2013 the quest for political power

How many of us here know the real reasons why the LTTE is fighting in Sri Lanka; the real reasons why the IRA in Northern Ireland and the Maoists in Nepal were fighting for; or for that matter why the Naxalites in India are fighting for?

If you take any terrorist act or terrorist group, you would find that they would fit in any of the above 3 classification. For instance, LTTE, they fight for a piece of land in Sri Lanka (which falls under the category for political gains); the United States biased foreign policies in middle east resulting in aggression on the Arab lands in Palestine, Iraq has caused Al Qaeda to surge up and the list goes on.

Your statistics that 98% terrorists are just baseless; do ur home work properly
