Passion for Peace II

Hello fellows,

Sub.: The real conversion

We are back to work again. Why not? That’s life. Life prepares us for everything. Therefore, we are prepared for our next condolences, manifestations, mass mourning, and protests alongside our merry makings, Christmases, other festivals, and of course our respective businesses and work. But we are not prepared to talk openly about terrorism that’s the recent man-made force majeure! Yes we are afraid of jihad, aren’t we? If I say Islam and Salim are anagrams, I might have a jihad against me; if it’s not reason enough, I can say Mails and Islam and Salim are anagrams; well take it like this...if mails come from Salim, it means warnings have come from Islam, and the world would have reasons to worry! Then the Jihad is surely in the offing! Well jokes part, I think until the time the 'when next, where next and how next' becomes a reality, we’d be normal and happy-go-lucky again! Our leaders will come from the greenrooms with a concerned makeup on their faces. Listen I am not blaming anyone because leaders are also normal human beings, like us, with ordinary passions and goals, not as extra-ordinary as the school of terrorism! I congratulate them because they were able to convert people from the land of Voltaire into shooting a group of free-thinkers; a land which had gifted democracy to the world, imagine this extra-ordinary achievement!! Kudos to the school of terrorism!

Every night I have a dream, a crazy dream... that we are able to convert those students we call terrorists into accepting differences, some of them had even turned into liberals and now protecting the world instead of their earlier pursuits. But that’s just a dream... I know it will never come true... our Intelligence has not given us any signs so far to show that yes it can convert a group of terrorists into non-terrorists! But what if it used its remote-sensing to keep track of every single weapon that’s being produced on earth along with their movements? What if it could track the virtual and physical classes where training on the conviction for killing in the name of religion go on? Who takes them, how do they happen, and when do they happen and o yes WHY do they happen! But no, our Intelligence needs to penalise smokers smoking in the non-smoking zones.

Ever since these two incidents have happened in Pakistan and France, I am thinking on the physical and virtual dependencies that the school of terrorism had to factor!! Can you imagine how those people were trained, given weapons of conviction to go out in the open and kill? The students whom we call terrorists had to be mobilised and empowered right in Medias Res to do what they did...and what was our remote sensing doing?! I guess it was engaged in creating a fire alarm? Or some rocket sciences!  

So fellows, we have an engaging, a fascinating, a passionate work in front of us to ensure a cure for this migraine, don't we? Sometimes I wonder if we lack the conviction...do we need some students from the same school?! Can't we buy some of them? Well the school is buying some of us all the time! We need to see a drama of the highest form on stage please. The whole world has to unite and put its Intelligence at stake to deliver. Ensure that not a drop of gun, money, and training is mobilised towards the school of terrorism. From thinking that the school is working under the instruction of Allah to kill unarmed people unaware towards thinking that it is working against Allah is not a small task, but this is what needs to be done, I think.

O I didn't tell you this... I also had this dream that all of us, I mean literally all of us, were able to locate the physical presence of the school of terrorism and... we were marching towards that land to crush the school down once and for all with our sheer strength of population! But when  we were crushing it under our countless feet, I also saw us doing it with love and power. That’s how the school of terrorism disappeared from the face of the earth and those students whom we once called terrorists got lost in the sea of crowd. And thus the mails that came from Salim got converted from warning to message on peace and acceptance from Islam!


Yours, Supratik
