Individual/ Media Responsibility In The Fight Against Terrorism!

Monday, June 19, 2017 early hours terrorist attack on Seven Sisters Road, Finsbury Park, near North London Mosque, left one person dead and about ten others injured. 

Reports said: a van rammed into Muslim worshippers, near the Mosque, as they attended the Ramadan night prayers at about 12:30am. 

According to London Police authorities, a 48-year-old man was arrested and the case is being treated as  "terrorist attack". 

The attacker was reported to have screamed "I am going to kill all Muslims", while others reported him to have said "at least I did my bit". 

The Muslim community in London believes the attack is "Islamophobic"  targeted at the weak and vulnerable in the community. 

Terrorism is a plague that is daily eating deed into the fabrics that binds the Human Race. It is heinous crime against Humanity, and a causeless fight, hence is condemn-able. Terrorism is an act that knows no Religion, Ethnicity and Race. It's single goal is "Havoc" and it single enemy is the Human Race. 

Terrorism comes in different forms and strategies. Aside senseless attacks on the feeble and unguarded, there is also what can be termed subtle ethnic, religious and racial attacks. These attacks are often in forms of "hate comments" by individuals, some of whom occupy significant positions in our societies, at gatherings and on Social Media platforms. 

Government, the Main-stream and Social media (bloggers), and individuals owe it as a responsibility to come together in the fight against terrorism. 

Through unbiased coverage and reportage of incidents, discouraging perceived "hate-comments" against any ethnic group(s), religion, race, on individual platforms, and encouraging Oneness, are some of the ways we can counter terrorism.



What binds us together is greater that what is tearing us apart.
