Terrorism is the reaction of those who have been deprived of voice.
Terrorism is the cry of the voiceless.
Terrorism does not develop if democracy thrives
because it ensures that your voice is heard and dissent is taken into account.
Although it is clear worldwide that the issue of terrorism
is the problem of lack of opportunity to influence our own destiny,
terrorism was not perceived in the mainstream media as
the anger of the dispossessed but as the people who have a genetic flaw.
Nobody is born a terrorist, but becomes a terrorist.
The fact that terrorism is growing
should compel us to analyze what creates the conditions for growth.
The breeding ground is the corporate greed
who want to control every drop of water, every drop of oil, every inch of land,
every germ on the planet.
Such exclusions produces enormous greed.
These exclusions will generate violent responses
if not restored quickly peaceful democracy.
Most people are not aware that India
already controlled large parts
by those who adhere to ideologies based on exclusion
and they resort to violent methods.
is an inevitable phenomenon in the dispossession and excludes millions of people
its authentic livelihood and freedom.
