"Psychic capitulations is the ability of a leader to motivate a human to willingly make the supreme sacrifice of his life for a cause is the strength of religious terrorism or a states patriotism"
As I have stressed in my previous article that various facets of OEM theory and Oil Command Diplomacy (OCD) is going to be the true and ultimate cause of unrest in the most of the MEN, ASEAN, European and African countries in 21st/22nd centuries, the psychic with which future terrorists are going to be born needs special attention of all. It would not only affect the affected nations such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq; but also would severely cripple the economies of USA, Europe and African countries by the middle of 22nd Century. As I have predicted that over 22% to 35% of world population would be extinct due to natural calamities, increasing population pressure on earth and rapidly sinking natural resource, the ultimate wars like Mahabharata the Great would be once again fought in between 2075 AD to 2090 AD and 2125 AD to 2150 AD. The spiritual instinct indicates the Great War of Extinction (GWE) will be fought by the end of 22nd century. Who would survive, God knows; but the era of Adam and Eve would be reinvented due to high demand of natural resources and totally corrupt and mislead material world.
If our future generations have to fight the terrible War of Survival, then there is a need to analyze and identify as to who all would be the soldiers of the terrorism and the areas where all, the world as a whole has to unite and fight. There is also a need to study the psychology of future fighters. I would also like to debate as to how a terrorist would be viewed by different people at different time and areas. The menace of terrorism has nearly touched each and every country of the world. The Fire of Terrorism and Insurgency (FOTI) which was ravaging amongst Third World Countries (TWC) has now engulfed the developing and developed countries as well. The gas attack in train in Japan, Air Kanishka terror campaigns in Canada and Bali Bombing in Indonesia have times and again proved that no geographical boundaries can restrict terrorists' movement and mission. I would like to debate as to what types of Soldier of Terrorism (SOT), are going to be braved by our future Terrorism Counteraction Think Tanks (TCTT).
Before, I debate further on the traits and characteristics of SOT; I would like to draw my esteem readers' attention as to what could be the focal causes for continuance of terrorism in future. Though, large numbers of volumes have been written by USA, UK, and many other European writers but I am still to find anyone really touching the basic issues of terrorism. In my view the main causes could be that:
· One; Natural Resources Equilibrium (NRE). In my view the management of natural resource and their equal distribution would be the prime cause of either full fledged Local Area Conflict (LAC) or continuous simmering discontent against a powerful oppressor. The Dynamic Propellant Energy (DPE) requirement of a nation would be the prime cause of instability in the Oil Rich Geographical Areas (ORGA). The rate at which Western countries, USA; and Developing and Under Developed Countries (DUDC) are consuming and exhausting natural oil resources, it is going to create an extreme pressure of demand on the countries of ORGA. As it is most of the world countries believe that USA and her allies invasion of Iraq has nothing to do with WMD, but it was a tacit move to gain the control of oil prosperous reserves of Middle East Nation (MEN), therefore, the prediction of USA withdrawing from Iraq in near future is debatable. I therefore believe that the people of ORGA are going to take up arms as and when they feel the hardship of live
· Two; Hysterical Population Procreation Growth (HPPG). The second most reason to ensure that terrorism continues would be the uncontrolled procreation of population. As some of the communities, in the name of religion, are forbidding their followers not to adopt birth controlled measure, these people would swarm the earth with human beings. Though the USA, Europe, India, China and some other nations have been able to bring check on population growth but all the countries of ORGA, MEN, SEAN, Africa and South African Region, are unable to educate masses to respect the resources of mother earth. Infact, most of the Islamic bigots are overtly advocating to increase their children growth rate to get the future Soldiers of Jihad and Islam (SJI). These Islamic scholars believe that population control measures are against their spiritual belief and faith. Such imbalance population growth would widen the gap between Haves (HV) and Have Not (HVN). Thus always leaving a window open to be exploited to take up arms against apparent rich and prosperous peoples. The uncontrolled population growth will not only generate additional pressure on natural resources but also indiscriminately criminalize the future society. It will further result in:
o 1), Large Muslim inhabited areas of MEN, SEAN, and Arabian Desert would continue to remain poverty ridden due to large families and over population growth, thus, always having a fertile area to recruit SOTI and SOT.
o 2), continuous widening of gaps between HV and HVN;
o 3), Poor countries national would always moving towards prosperous states thus creating instability amongst rich, developed and developing countries. It is well evident even today, that India, USA, UK and European Nations are already facing the problem of large scale migration of mostly Muslim Asians population.
o 4), ever increasing population in African countries would create pressure on local natural resource, thus, destabilizing local areas and seeking UNO intervention as can been seen in Darfur, Sudan and Ethiopia.
o 5), an ever increasing demand of over populated nation's people for health, educations, infrastructure and other amenities like Bangladesh, and other nations would continue to absorb maximum UNO aid resources and causing unrest amongst developing nation's home population.
o 6), most important effect would be of heavy criminalization of the society. The HVN would always envy HV lifestyle. They would never rationalize their own family strength, resources, and other earning factors but always debate a small family with large resources, thus, revolting against them. The present family example can be equated with a nation as in case of USA. The prosperity of USA is not digested by most of the Muslim Nations whose population is ten times more than the USA. Small is Beautiful and large is Manageable is a true proverb.
· Three; Prosperity-Poverty Prejudice Disorder (PPPD). Another important cause which I feel is widening gap between nations PPPD factor. The people who control largest natural resources are the poorest and utilize minimum resource and on contrary the developed countries are not only prosperous but also maximum utilize of all the natural resource. The rising discontent amongst third world countries is visible in Middle East and Asia. The continuous opposition of people about western nation's prosperity would be an important factor of sustaining terrorism.
· Four; Cultural Identity Crisis (CIC). I also believe that the CIC would also be a cause of sustaining terrorism. As it is most of the people in Islamic nations including India perceive a direct threat to their own cultural identity due to electronic media invasion in most of the people's bedroom. They feel that western open culture is more akin to animal way of life where relationships are mere tool to fulfill lust. The bikini culture and lewd disco dances are already shaking the youths all over the world. I thus feel that Islamic, Hindus and various other religious pundits feel that the increasing influence of western culture needs to be checked. If peaceful means fail, then the terrorism is the only mean to force the ban.
· Five; Religious Identity Crisis Conflict (RICC). As I have discussed about the RICC in my previous article but I still strongly feel the RICC of two religious communities in the world that is Islam and Judaism supported by Christianity would be the main cause of continuance of terrorism in future. As it is most of the Islamic Nations already perceive that USA and her allies invasion is an expansionist policy of Western nations. The Islamic nations fear that;
o a; USA and her allies invasion is an expansion of my OEM theory;
o b; Islamic nations feel continuous presence of USA would influence their people mind and threaten basic fabrics of Islamic religious identity;
o c; Most countries believe that western nations wants to gain the control of rich ORGA;
o d; Large number of people believe that natives would become subservient and western people the rulers as past;
o e; a continuous threat to Islamic highest temporal seat of religion;
o f; disrespect and dishonor to their women folks under foreign rule;
o g; the most important is the fear of expansion of Israel and USA to gain control over Middle East Nations.
· Six: Strong verses Weak Nations. As most of the over populated nations would not be able to defend and launch prolonged wars, they would resort to terrorist and insurgent movements to continuously resist their opposition, thus, always victimizing ruling/pro-ruling innocent civilians. It would be a daily routine to hear massive bombing explosion at every nook and corner of their sway as it is, the Jihadi resistance in Iraq is the beginning of SOT Movements in future. How many Iraqis die daily through bombing does not matters to western nations but the day such bombing takes place in their nations, the nature of war would be different. I believe every SOT movement would end with a devastating effects and heavy loss of human lives and properties of weaker nations.
I am sure that the readers would be able to analyze the true shape of future
Problems to deal with in general but my anxiety to debate as to what would be the Organizations, characteristics of future Recruits and Soldiers of Terrorism (RASOT)? What I believe:
· First; they would be organized on the principle of Small, Swift and Effective (SSE) units equipped with advance means of communications and mobility, and armed with highly sophisticated, lethal and precision guided munitions, explosives and weapons with the capabilities to rapidly assemble and disperse with in a given time frame at selected target areas. As most of the targets would be innocent civilians and soft installations, there would no problems for RASOT units to strike and escape with ease?
· Second; as I perceive a direct threat to various religious community would be looming large by the middle of 20th century, the most of the recruits would be graduating from fanatic religious schools controlled and run by religious bigots and revolutionary leaders. I therefore, feel that the recruits of RASOT would be having staunch religious bent of mind and fanatic approach towards life. Until unless future commanders do not find such religious oriented recruits, it would be difficult to sustain terrorism in the comfortable life style of future world. Once again, a separate entity would be required to identify, select and enroll such recruits and the most fertile ground for RASOT recruits would be HPPG, PPPD and RICC areas of MEN, SEAN and Asia.
· Third, the next trait would be that such RASOT will be from deprived, underprivileged and illiterate strata. They would be well built, masculine and intelligent but foolhardy inhabiting remote and inaccessible areas and recruited to conceal identify. These people would generally be employed to under take final execution of operations at the target end. Such soldiers would be trained and educated at somewhere else in third countries and launched at different places to ensure complete success of operations.
· Fourth; Religious, Communal and Cultural Affinity (RCCA). The most important factors of RASOT recruits and protagonist operators amongst stronger nations would be people of similar religious faith, affinity and cultural identity. Twin tower bombing in USA had reflected a strong religious bondage amongst all RASOT mission members. Until unless, such fertile population base is not available in target country, no terrorist mission can succeed. However, in the multi-ethnicity culture of all nations, it is next to impossible for not getting RASOT in any country of any religion. So far, all the terrorist bombing related attack operators in target country, launching bases country and intermediately links whether in USA, UK, India, Pakistan or Spain have been identified through third country SOT mission planners. How to counter the challenges, I would debate in separate article while addressing religious terrorism. It would be suffice to say that all the nations have to generate a databank to share to track suspects' movement through travel agents network.
· After debating the traits, now I would debate about the individual RASOT as to how would you identify him in the ocean of millions innocent people. What my husband and my personal experience reveals that all such RASOT would be:
o SOT top levels leader would staunch religious bigot and fanatic who want to follow the true tenets of religion whether in Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism or Christianity. Nevertheless, lager threat of terrorism is from Islamic religious fanatics who generally have been using the religion to tame their adversary and antagonists through death threats called Fatwa. Infact, such leader would be ruthless and merciless killers who would instill fear through tyranny and brutal actions amongst larger unarmed people. As it is, the Islamic Religious Identity Crisis (IRIC) has been destabilizing the world ever since the inception of Islam; it would continue to do so and thus threat of terrorism would also remain for every nation to dealt with
o The second level individual planner recruits and subordinate leaders and executioners both would be possessing excellent command of religion, high education and well cultured to arouse minimum suspicion. It would be difficult for TCTT and intelligence agencies to identify and isolate such operators. Anyhow they would be very different in dealing and conduct.
o The middle level of recruits would be both physically and mentally not only strong but robust, dedicated and always filled with vigor and courage to launch terrorist strikes. They would be able to speak multi languages and able to mix up with all types of people. Infact most of such people may go to the extent to deceiving target country's woman and marry to fulfill their missions The home country has to have a method of registering and acknowledging such people's marriages in their countries. Infact, it would be their tactic to get place to live in target country through marriages as its is seen in India that most of the Pakistani terrorists have got married in and around capital to gain access to wrack havoc. These terrorists would pose as wealthy businessmen but always pray for a poor family female to easily trap. As most of the Muslims believe four marriages
o The next individual trait of ground recruit who is going to die or execute the mission is that he would be exceptionally following religion with devotion and commitment. He would grow up as a protector of religion. I anticipate that;
§ One, such RASOT would be identified and taken from their families either after paying money or in the name of religious education from the infant age of five and above;
§ After that these recruits would be educated in exclusively setup religious schools like in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal and erstwhile Afghanistan up to the age of teen, twelve as how to perform various religious activities. This gestation period will be more crucial in identifying various categories of soldiers. A highly motivated mediocre and calm people will be selected to under take suicide missions and rest the overt fighters.
§ After the age of twelve, these recruits would be given basic motivations, physical and arms training at different levels and thereafter selected to form different groups for operations.
§ Subsequently after dividing them into various categories, these soldiers would be transshipped back to their counties or threatened AOI (Area of Interest) before the age of sixteen or seventeen in different groups but as one operating unit.
§ Soldiers hereafter would always be ready to sacrifice their lives at the order of their mentor. They would have unfathomable killing instinct, deep revulsion and .hatred in their mind and thus leaving no scope for mercy. This how such die hard fanatics undertake suicide mission and blow up themselves without remorse for anyone.
My endeavor to highlight various facets of terrorism is drop of sweat in the ocean of blood of human being which is going to flow in the streets of poor nations. I would deliberate individual traits of a terrorist in my next article so that various people are able to identify the hidden threat in their neighborhoods.
