How does a human become a C4 EXPLOSIVE?

Back in the 1990’s, when Pakistan was somewhat a stable state, there aired the first media coverage of an Egyptian driving an explosive-laden car into the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, 1995. The second suicide attack was carried by a local who attacked the French engineers outside of Karachi’s Hotel Sheraton, 2002.

Initiating the chain of terror, these attacks became more frequent as the years passed by. The number of suicide attacks in 2007 rose to the highest level. A total of 47 suicide attacks have been occurred killing 538 people including several known personalities.

However, nowadays, whenever a suicide attack red strip runs on the TV, all we do is “Oh! Too bad” and that’s it. We change the channel or sometimes we don’t even give a damn about that. That is because we are totally used to all this.

Let me put forward a hypothetical question. If you agree on all of the above, that we are very much used to watch suicide attacks, watching dead people on the TV and do nothing about it, what if one of your own blood, your father, brother, sister, mother, or your infant child loses their life in a suicide attack.

Well if it was me to answer, I would certainly cry my soul out, however, at the end, I would accept that as the will of Allah. However, what if you are a young kid in your teen age, when a person finds him/herself the most energetic, one day you are playing in a rocky mountain in front of your house made of sand and your hear an explosion. A bomb drops on your home, killing your parents, your 4-year-old sister, a six month old baby and all your are left with little arms lying around in a pool of blood.

Would that rock your senses? Would that hold you back and do nothing, when you are left with nothing? And if it was to me, I would certainly feel of a body with nothing but hatred. I would want to kill myself, or the ones who made me pick up little fingers torn apart from a no more than a 15 pound infant.

Since the time Americans have started bombing out our tribal areas, they have wasted uncountable innocent lives. People, who lived a calm life once, are now thought of as terrorists. How can we say that? When they are snatched off of their heart and soul, when their most precious thing lies in front of them showered in their own blood, how can one not want to kill the killers or blow up the whole world, when their point of living is no more?

Most of the suicide attackers who have been caught lately have the same story. However, our leaders sit relentless of what is happening, until and unless one of them picks up someone of their own without arms and legs.
