Delusional characters!

 
What is with these guys? They blow themselves to effect mayhem and panic among population. The latest bombing in London and then at Sharm al-Sheikh in Egypt are carried out with no clear objectives identified. These bombers are brainwashed to some foreign illusory cause.
 
The bombings are done stealthily. What cowards!
 
Are these bombers deprived? Depraved? Defeated? De-cultured?  In my opinion, no! They are delusional characters. They do not come from poor families. They are educated and have either grown in the western societies or most of these are educated in western countries. They are aware of freedom and do use all the available facilities to further their delusional cause.
 
They are delusional for the perceived grandeur of the past. They are demented with teachings they get from so-called madarassas and, it seems, tacit or direct support from some states.
 
The glory of killing “kafirs” (non-believers) which will lead to heaven seems to be the doctrine sold, with cunning, to these poor young individuals.

 
London is a world city and everyone in the world has a stake in its growth and survival. The disturbance in London affects the world economically as well as culturally. London is a symbol of freedom and openness. A good mix of world populations live cheek-by-jowl in London and all of them get along fine and generate wealth & good life. London has become an example of equality and opportunities to anyone with good grace and hard work.

 
Our prayers should be with the families of those who lost life and limb from such coward bombings by delusional people. Terrorism is a curse and shall be fought relentlessly by all wherever it occurs.
