Atrocities in Europe

Donald Trump, the American Presidential hopeful, says that it is not safe for Americans to come to Europe and the UK. How right is he?

After the bombing atrocities in Paris and in Brussels, one would feel unsafe to come to any European country.

Tuesday, 22 March, was indeed a black day for Brussels when bomb blasts, one at the airport and the other at a metro station, killed 31 and wounded 300 innocent people. This was in the wake of similar atrocities in Paris.

These terror attacks would corroborate what Trump says. Are we safe walking in the streets of London?

There must be a way of stopping such killings from happening again. How can we make the world a safer place for us, our children and the posterity to live in? Inequality causes hatred and jealously.

The inequality between the haves and have-nots must be the culprit and needs to be tackled in order that people the world over who are oppressed and hungry can feel satisfied and content with their lot.

Religion must also be playing a part because, as history would indicate, many killings in the past and present have taken place in the name of religion.
