Which is considered terrorism?
Dear Editor,
First, as a Muslim and a human being, my heart goes out to the relatives of the victims of the Paris Media House massacre.
The perpetrators’ obsession clouded their ability to rationalize properly, as well as their judgment, hence their transgression; all of which are prohibited in Islam, Christianity and Hinduism.
I find similar obsession by some members of the local media, at the top, The Kaieteur News.
This is evident in their comparison of the A.G’s remarks and the Paris incident.
I thought a better comparison would be the slaughter of six pressmen at Kaieteur News and the Paris incident.
This is the kind of extremism we have to endure when we have person/s with an obsession with certain people.
The truth will be sacrificed to satisfy their egos.
Please forgive my ignorance of the term “terrorism”.
Can you explain which of the undermention incident/s will be classified as terrorism?
1. The slaughter of innocent Guyanese citizens at Lusignan, Lindo Creek and Bartica; incidentally the perpetrators of the Lusignan massacre were defended in court by the AFC Nigel Hughes. Isn’t this aiding terrorists and hypocrisy by the leader of the AFC?
2. The daily robberies committed against innocent citizens, where they are threatened by guns, knives, beaten and sometimes raped. Then to add insult to injury, when these criminals are caught, they are readily defended by the lawyers of AFC and APNU.
Can we equate the above with statements made by the A.G., most of which are true and consider them both as terrorism?
