November 2017

The 2016 US presidential election is till debated and the heat is still high. Those who are against the legitimacy of this election, are of the view that due to numerous reports and ‘revelations’, it has now become obvious and overt that the election was compromised, it was influenced by enemies of US and there was foul play, the abuse of law and abuse of legislation that some laws were enforced which were wrong in their legislation itself.

Several discrepancies are also pointed out like voter-ID and vote-tallies vs Exit Polls contradiction. Shortly after the election, Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman reported: “In 24 of 28 states, unadjusted exit polls also showed Clinton with vote counts significantly higher than the final official outcome. The likelihood of this happening in an election that is not rigged are in the realm of virtual statistical impossibility.”

Where is America after electing Mr. Trump as POTUS?

The stock-market and GDP seem to have improved, and numbers show that the unemployment is 17-year low, but at the same time we see that the job gains are far lesser than the Obama’s average.
In other words, the numbers do not agree with the reality.

Election is still on his mind

While on his visit to China, while there are so many things to discuss he is still reminding the nation that something resembling election happened in US.
Instead of representing the whole of the country, he is representing the people who voted for him which is very unethical, immature and nonpresidential.

He made United States second country after India to base elections on Muslim Hate

During his election campaign, he was a fire spitting dragon against the Muslims, he promised the nation that he will make America great again by Banning the Muslims, which is general trait in India.
The current Prime Minister of India, Modi, in each of his speech used the same language.
From Mr. Trump’s speeches, it seemed that the Muslims in America are the biggest problem for United States, the second biggest threat to American economy, infrastructure and freedom is from Mexicans.
So pushing forward America in the backward direction, Mr. Trump decided to play inside the walls and to not let anybody else in.

There has been monstrous increase in Racism

Meanwhile Mr. Trump was vocal about his racist ideas, America, which was already on racist fault line, shivered in horror of racism. The result of his speeches came out in the form of hate. We saw America being divided on many basis, White vs Black to be most important.

Attacks on Institution of Press

Soon after his first day in office, the institution of Press has been under sever attacks, there is almost zero Media access to the State Department.

Is this the same ‘Great America’ which Americans dream for?

Racist, threatening, keen for nukes, twitter-blasts, calling names like third class street punks and get called like that afterwards, living deep under the line of humanity, under employment and under threats from inside, this is what Trump is making America.
I think dear Americans must have confirmed their view of ‘Great America’ with Mr. Trump’s ‘Great America’.

Shooting Attacks or Terrorist Attacks?
They say, “with power comes responsibility”, in the context of authoritative power. But originally it was in the context of one’s ability which others did not have for its entirety or timely.
If you have a gun, you have power, to terrify and hence there is responsibility on you to know what it means to own a gun, because, as a Chinese saying goes, ‘you don’t own the sword, the sword owns you’.

Effective September 1st, a new law has been approved in Texas which allows reduction of free for handgun license from $140 to $40 only.
Moreover, there are campus carry laws which allow students to carry concealed weapons. There is open carry law which allows people to publically carry the guns.
These laws have enabled US to top the list of deadliest shooting harbors. The life in US seems to be very uncertain, one moment you go to bar, the moment you appear in news headline.
You think you’re going to house-of-God, to pray for next job, to thank Him, to ask forgiveness or to seek guidance, turns out you are dispatched directly to heavens.

In 2017 alone there have been more than 14 mass shooting terrorist attacks.
“Wait… what? Terrorist attacks? Isn’t a terrorist attack when it is done by a terrorist right?” A friend of mine said.
“And what exactly is a terrorist?” I asked with a nod.
“Well when there is a Muslim involved in it. It is a terrorist attack when a person shouts Allah u Akbar and blasts himself.” I expounded what seemed like is in mind but out of courtesy isn’t saying.
I received only surprised look, like something had hit in his mind, like a revelation.

“Perched in his suite at a high-rise hotel overlooking the Vegas Strip, a 64-year-old retiree with no real criminal history and no known affiliations with terror groups rained bullets down into a crowd at a country music festival Sunday, killing at least 59 people and injuring hundreds more in the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.”
—Washington Post
We can see even the top news-writers have this stereotypical behavior.
What exactly is a terrorist attack?
Why does this happen?
A terrorist attack is the one in which someone, out of his rage over anything personal or impersonal, religious, political or psychological reasons behind, attacks other living beings.
In Texas, November 5, 2017 more than 26 people lost their lives in such terror attack.
The Las-Vegas Strip terrorist swallowed more than 50 people, and still it is a shooting incident.
The terrorist is David Patrick Kelley (Associated Press). But the media used the term ‘shooter’ instead of ‘terrorist’ because he wasn’t Muslim or from Middle east!

About two continents far from US soils, I can feel the pain of the families who lost their loved ones. Because I have seen such miserable conditions in my homeland as well. But we don’t filter attacks on basis of religion, we classify them as Murders or as Terrorist Attacks.
A murder is when one relative, friend or sibling kills another after property, opposite sex or money and when the killer’s instinct is not to terrify others or kill as many as possible, rather, just to take revenge, or to gain one of the above.
A terrorist attack is when someone kills another one on basis of a theory, no matter the killer is from which community, a killer is a terrorist.
This is exactly what United States needs to do. A killer is either a Murderer on basis of definition or a terrorist.

Terrorism needs to be dealt with, and there is no other option. There is no other way.
If we’ll continue classifying terrorism on basis of region (the terrorist is from Middle East e.g.) or on basis of religion (Terrorist is a Muslim though so-called) then we’ll have to bear such attacks even further in future.
A terrorist is a terrorist, no matter what the skin color, what the place of birth and what the religion is associated with him.
