At present, terrorism has turned into a global issue –every ethnic and religious group renders prey to terrorists’ attacks. Multilaterally, it seems as if the war waged against terrorist by international community is sparking terrorism instead diminishing. We are facing war like situation against the terrorists –who preys to terrorists acts, is uncertain and capricious. Terrorist acts like suicide bombings have become a norm of the day. On account of these attacks Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria and Nigeria are suffering from ineffaceable loss ranging from civilian to economic. People have become numerical figures, blown up in numbers every now and then. Terrorists have not spared any place. Bazaars, mosques, educational institutes, offices, hotels, roadside no place are safe anymore. It is witnessed the terrorist even manage to reach unimaginable sites –is alarming for world community.

The terrorist group of international fame Islamic State has surpassed Al-Qaida executing mass massacres and ruthless butcheries of people around the world. In addition it has also succeeded drawing great number of adherents from across the world –western countries in particular. The former US’s State Department report is a self evident account to escalating terrorist attacks and resulting casualties. The report unearths detrimental statistics of terrorist attacks in the former year and the relative growth in these attacks in most of terrorist prone countries.  The report counts 13,463 attacks in 95 countries in 2014 —up by a third from the year before — with Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan bearing the brunt of extremist violence. In total 32,727 people were killed compared to 17,800 in 2013, according to the figures prepared by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism. A further 34,700 people were injured. This report is an eye opener for policy makers, turning the world into a more insecure place to live than it was a decade earlier. 

Formerly, a Shiite mosque in the Kuwaiti capital was targeted that led to 25 people dead and 202 people wounded, according to the interior ministry. Kuwaiti Shiites make up around one-third of the country’s native population of 1.3 million people. Following the brutal attack on Kuwait’s Shiit mosque another attack took place in a Tunisian seaside resort that killed nearly 40 people, most of them British tourists, the worst attack in the country’s recent history. Dozens more were wounded due to gunfire from inside a beach umbrella on crowds of tourists at the five-star Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel in the popular Mediterranean resort of Port el Kantaoui. The shooting was the worst in modern-day Tunisia and followed a March attack claimed by IS on Tunis’s Bardo National Museum that killed 21 foreign tourists and a policeman. The previous brutal but shameful incident reflects the wave of sectarian hatred flowing down the vein of Muslim unity. It certainly is a deliberate move to deepen the sectarian differences across the Muslim world.

Tunisia, birthplace of the Arab Spring, has seen a surge in radical Islam since veteran president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was ousted in the 2011 revolution. Dozens of members of the security forces have been killed in jihadist attacks since then. In October 2013, a suicide bomber blew himself up in a botched attack on a Sousse beach while security forces foiled another planned attack nearby. Among Tunisia’s tourist attractions are its cosmopolitan capital city of Tunis. According to The New York Times, Tunisia is “known for its golden beaches, sunny weather and affordable luxuries.” Tourism accounts for seven percent of Tunisia’s GDP and almost 400,000 direct and indirect jobs. The attack on tourists is certainly an attack on thriving tourism industry of Tunis that brings financial losses to its people.

One group except Daesh would claim the responsibility for the twin attacks in Kuwait and Tunisia, it proudly did it. The attacks came at the start of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan that marks the first anniversary of the group declaring its territory in Iraq and Syria a “caliphate”. Previously, the Ameerul Momineen Abubakar Al-Baghdadi, a self proclaimed caliph publicly pronounced the establishment of independent Islamic State (caliphate) in the land it controls, in an audiotape message, urging all Muslims to migrate to the aforesaid state and pledge allegiance to him. He made a special appeal to those with practical skills, scholars, judges, doctors, engineers and people with military and administrative expertise, to come to the ascribed land. The self claimed caliph was also shown asking the jihadist to escalate fighting in the holy month of Ramadan, which happened to be the noblest deed. Doing so, help them earn the favor of the merciful Allah, is a betrayal. This of course is, a forged interpretation of Jihad sought to further their malicious designs of such splintered group. It is a deliberate “Fassad”. Al-Qaida and ISIS fallaciously deem to be the guardian of Islamic jurisdiction and sanctity are misled.

If someone claims to strive for the wellbeing of a cognizable group, it should do away with raison-d’être widening the minute disparity existing between sub factions. Muslims, divided into over seventy three sects, with every sect not only claims to be superior to others but also spare not a minute issuing the jurisprudence of infidelity of other. Factually speaking the Muslims world suffers the height of intolerance and extremism. Apart from bad governance, there are multiple factors behind the escalating extremism yet it is malicious for being solely responsible for the widened unrest, plaguing the world over. It should be learned that states can be built by a disgruntled group, relying on granted warheads and weapons, but can’t be run without clearly laid principles, universally accepted system of governance a profound self-reliance and harmonious coexistence. It should be cultured that terrorism could only be eradicated, provided the interests of governed are kept in prime consideration, politics exercised, upholding human rights and welfare of masses irrespective, cast, creed, ethnicity kept in deliberation.

World leaders and Afghanistan elders should believe that global fairness, peace and human dignity is in the best interest of the global community and terrorism is the greatest menace to human race, thus must be curbed iron handed. The world must do more to restrain extremism and terrorism to alter the very environment from which these terrorist movements emerge. It is the time the world to ponder on transitory policies constituted, that furnishes the breeding ground of terrorism with terrorists, than curtailing, must be revised.
