Referring to Mr Jubel’ D’Cruz’s letter dated 24th June 2017 terrorism, such as carnage, converting people into other faiths, grabbing land to rule over etc by groups of assassins, gunmen etc by spreading fewar and making attacks has deep roots in history; and it has become a problem in the age of science and modern technology to control it; and, much more, the laws made are such that power and authority are divested from responsible officials.
A clue to the problem could be found but the terrorists’ demands are notknown generally to the government or the public prior to the carnage and destruction to the properties that disrupt day to day public routine. All the faiths are expected to coexist peacefully. Religious prescriptions are intended to make living on earth like living in heaven. It is incumbent upon leaders of any faith to guide their mindful followers to control their minds and emotions, so that they do not turn into terrorists to put their own and other innocent people’s life at risk.
Lord Jesus’ teaching is certainly against the beheading of any person in any circumstance. But the author’s opinion is vice versa, he believes that other terrorists may learn a lesson from receiving such punishment. Do the readers agree with it?
