Unconventional approaches in dealing with terrorism
Earlier it was New York. Subsequently it was in Madrid. Then it was the turn of London. Now it is Mumbai. Who next?
Well. We cannot live in fear for ever. We cannot also allow the massacre of innocent civilians in the name of Jihad by the terrorists. Jihadi for whom? The unfortunate civilian victims or for the terrorists?
We cannot think of the consequences of such proxy war indulged in by a miniscule uncivilized section of the society to hold a larger section to ransom. Many times in the past, we came out with more rules and regulations. The perpetrators of the crime found new ways to overcome. We put in place the best security system. Our criminals find out new method to break these systems. In fact it has become more of an intelligence war.
The only way to overcome this is to go in for unconventional approaches including psychological warfare in dealing with terrorism.
We should promote and propagate that any one who indulges in such war or attack against the society would be caught and his close relatives ostracized from the society. Those who aid the terrorists by way of logistics should also be forced to pay for the sins of the terrorists, like attachment of their properties, etc.
Most of the times, the terrorists are killed by the law enforcement agencies and their bodies handed over to the concerned religious authorities for a religious burial. Since the terrorists have no such affiliations they need not be provided with a religious burial after their death. They also do not deserve one. The terrorists who get caught should be hanged in public.
One may view this suggestion as very radical or even considered to be an outburst in anger or in provocation from another terrorist-like. I don’t mind getting branded as a terrorist if I am going to be of some use to end this massacre.
This may also provoke sharp criticisms from every one across the society - when we plan to wipe out capital punishments from the society for other crimes, how we can agree to such a barbarous and uncivilized proposition? Well. At times to get over such psycho terrorist, we should also go in for equally psychological punishments. Do we not have cobra poison for some typical illness? Probably this new law, this proposed punishment will deter the entire present and future terrorist from even thinking about any such uncivilized attacks leave alone indulging in them.
With regard to more unconventional approaches to dealing with terrorism and terrorists, we should consider using bio or chemical warfare to capture these terrorists alive when they strike. During the recent terrorist attack in Mumbai which was shown live, the security agencies could have considered using N2O or Red Chili powder to make them momentarily incapable before capturing them. Some times, we have to use tactics and use automatic nets to create barriers to immobilize the terrorists. Well. This may sound childish or even foolish. But the purpose is to sell the idea to immobilize the terrorists to capture them alive.
I am posting this blog through this enlightened forum as I consider it is my duty to be in the forefront in dealing with a deep commitment to wipe out any form of terrorism from our civilized society. I sincerely hope this blog will generate discussions so that the concerned authorities could catch up with adequate responses.
