The Peak of Cowardice

A combined total of nearly 22 low-intensity explosions within 48 hours, disrupting normal life in two important and highly vulnerable urban centres of the country : Bangalore, the IT Hub of the nation, and highly influential to its economic progress, and Ahmedabad, tortured by a history of communal violence! India is fast becoming a soft target for the world's scum!

The blasts are undoubtedly aimed at spreading terror and panic among the multi-cultural Indian society. Rather than attack the giant, blossoming tree that is this nation head on, they choose to attack its very roots.....the ideals of democracy and secularism. Though such incidents of violence seem to have become the norm in a world where vice comes with attractive labels ranging from "service to the community", "service to the nation".....or even more sickening, "service to God". I simply fail to understand how some people have the AUDACITY to declare themselves to be comparable to the right hand of God....ordained the power to judge other mortals and servants of God! With their narrow-minded, hateful vision of the world, they declare war on "blasphemers" and "disbelievers", all the time serving their prejudices, rather than any God! These are not men of religion, but dogs....vile,cruel,rabid dogs whose bloodlust defies logic. Their actions glorify no God, and serve no constructive purpose.

At times, I feel rendered near-passive by the frequency of such attacks. But this attack has driven away all such thought. For the first time in living memory, terrorists have targeted hospitals! HOSPITALS.......Of all the depths to which this human race has dropped in front of my very eyes, this is arguably the WORST. We are often confounded by documents highlighting the kingdoms of the past, where violence was far too common, dictatorship the law of the land, and peasant rights a distant dream. We wonder how people saw sense in trusting their land in the hands of a single family, how they accepted war as a means to glory, how they remained loyal to the very hand that crushed their dreams.........................But now, FAR more disturbing than any of these ridiculous concepts, is the "glory" and "honour" which these filthy, shameless cowards seek by attacking the very sanctum to which the sick, the wounded and the weary turn to for help! What "honour" do you find in causing burns to a cripple, gashes to the arm of a HIV+ child, and scars to the temple of a leper???....What "glory" do you find in destroying the lives of the diseased, who remain helpless to fight for them? The blood charting its course through my veins boils with rage at the thought of such vile, despicable creatures......if ever the rapture does occur, with every fibre in my being, I would pray that these sons of the devil be burnt in the fires of hell for eternity! The right hand of the Lord shall smite those who inflict pain upon his creations in his name and dare to pass judgement when HE alone, is entitled to!
