TERRORISM

This piece of news rather an emergency broke out and caught my attention not just because of its nature but most importantly the type of people involved. Recently an IT professional Yahya Iyash kammakutty was arrested being suspected of having links with a terror outfit. Now this news involves a malayalee which is one of the reason for my response. The most amazing part of this is that the boy involved is a highly educated and employed person. Having passed out of REC Calicut(now NIT C) means that he is definitely a guy of substance and forms the creme dela creme of the state. This further raises the issue that how highly educated and employed youths (including medical professionals, as was the case of the australian indian doctor) fall prey to such anti-social elements. I firmly believe that the education system must supplement itself to not just raise the technical skills of the person involved but to raise the moral conduct, behaviour and responsibility to the society in general. Saying so i dont wish to add disrepute to my Muslim brothers (because terrorists definitely dont have any religion and they emphasise on hatred and terror which is totally in opposition with the ethics of ALL RELIGIONS). This sort of fundamentalist fellings can arise in all religions and many such terror groups are entertained by a number of such anti-social elements in all religions and sects. Saying so it is my humble request to all people who read this that ALL religions were made so as to promote love, harmony and peace among people. let us all promote these fellings and not be made a puppet in the hands of these people.
As amma teaches us
"LOKAH SAMASTHA SUKINO BHAVANTU"(let peace prevail everywhere).

Very interesting post. I especially picked up the phrase "raise the moral conduct, behaviour and responsibility ". Surely we must have a framework from which we raise the moral conduct. You are right that the current education system that gives you technical skills and not the moral aspect of it. Where do we draw such morality? It surely is not inbred in people. It is somewhere out there...
