Terrorism comes in many forms

I posted a video on my “Ariel View” Facebook page & asked what people thought; I was pleasantly overwhelmed with the diverse response that I received.

The clip was about how terrorism comes in all forms. When Americans think of terrorism, we think of the Taliban & other extremists that have harmed our nation.

What we don’t tend to think about is how people perceive America. Our nation’s military has destroyed nations & killed thousands of innocent people. Are Americans the definition of “terrorists” too? Yes, Americans fight for our nation's people while the Taliban terrorizes its people, but Americans are still killing innocent people in other countries; there has to be a better way to resolves conflicts other than blowing people's heads off.

Not only that, but the CIA has funded extremist groups by supplying them with weapons like supplying the matches for the fire.

In the Facebook comments, it was also mentioned how this is staged propaganda. This clip is from a movie that disputes the normal belief that people in Afghanistan are bad, evil, & corrupt. In almost every nation, there is some level of these negative traits. We can’t assume that all people in the nation are bad people & we can’t fully believe that our nation is so fantastic when we are also killing innocent people.

There is no excuse for killing innocent children in these countries overseas. Killing 1000 to catch the very few that are guilty is not worth it to me. I think the first step to rid of these murders is to stop supplying weapons to these countries.

It’s becoming more of a trend to put money before human lives & greed should not be a trend. 

Check out the clip from Kurbaan & let me know what you think

Until next time... ciao 💗
