#‎NousSommesUnis‬ ‪#‎WeAreUnited‬

As a general rule of thumb, acts of terrorism (whether executed by persons, armed groups or even governments whether “democratically” elected or no) are solely representing the sick mentality of those specific persons or groups and could not be blamed -through stereotyping and generalizing- on a full race or ideology.  

The international reaction to those acts should be unified in the right directions through clear understanding of the definitions, roots and motives for such acts. Where up till now there is a clear misunderstanding and misleading interpretations for such acts.

The Paris unfortunate attacks represent a new paradigm shift in the technique of such attacks. Unpredictable, hard to control and barbaric techniques.

Violence only triggers more violence, a whole race for an eye not only leaves the whole world blind ,but soaked in a bloodbath in a self-destructive mood as well.

The only way humanity could survive that ,is “International Social Justice” ,fair distribution of wealth & resources in addition to human intellectual development internationally.
Our diversity should be acknowledged and celebrated instead of abused and manipulated.
If extremists from the U.S. ,Europe and Right-wing followers continue to call for “a whole race for an eye” war calls without acknowledging their human duty in supporting intellectually and economically other parts of the world like Africa, parts of the Middle & Far East ,the process of stimulating further terrorism with even developed techniques will go on in an endless, unpredictable manner.

The same way those extremists think of other ideologies is mirrored in the way extremists from the Middle East and other parts see them through stereotyping and generalizing as well. As tens of victims fall annually due to acts of terrorism in Europe & The U.S. ,Tens of thousands of innocent Muslim victims fall annually in the occupied land of Palestine due to the Israeli occupation, in some parts of Asia & Africa as well, without getting the same international attention.
It is critical that we understand that we need to resist extremists from both sides ,and educate them as much as we can. Terrorism stimulated by warlords ,money and ignorance could not be faced by more violence and terrorism.

A call for an “International Conference against terrorism” is a must in order to develop a common accurate understanding of the roots and motives and a united action plan based on that.
