Opinion: Peace is the way

Peace is the way: "For some of these terrorist groups who are Muslims, a major reason why they resort to terrorism is prolonged anger and frustration at the continued suffering of the Palestinians (who are mostly Muslims), who are being persecuted and besieged by the Israelis, with the support of the US (and the “West”).

And since the plight of the Palestinians has not changed in the last 10 years (in fact it is worse now since they are under economic blockade as well, living in squalid conditions in the largest open prison in the world), we can expect these terrorist acts to continue.

While the world looks to negotiations and diplomacy to solve these problems and work for peace, there will always be those who are impatient and resort to terrorism to express their point of view; if only they realise that terrorism never brings peace.

The only way to achieve peace is to think peace, love peace, and work for peace. That is why all our religions preach peace. Our religious greetings invoke peace. The meaning of Islam is the “religion of peace”."
