In Wake of Ankara and Brussels Attacks March 2016

Thoughts, and prayers for victims and those who have suffered by the recent attacks and previous ones. May justice find you. The more we grow the idea of peace, hope and harmony - the more it will become a philosophy we experience more in our lives and will equip us to defeat large-scale violent crime better. 
According to most religious doctrine - True Religion symbolises goodness and morality in the world and existing universe.  Corruption and violence exhibited through the symbols and faith of a religion like Islam is a blasphemous denunciation of Islam.  Islam, a religion which stands for an overarching emblem of goodness in humanity.
Conceptualising terrorism in the picture frame of Islam or any other Religion/Race/Culture is gravely dangerous, and this misconception is extremely worrying for humanitarian efforts and peacekeeping/peacebuilding officials representing the correct movement against terrorism.
Identifying why there is terrorism is important and it is not rooted in religion even in the slightest. Religion/Race/Culture is used to masquerade terrorist machinations but the reasoning behind bombings or mass shootings is actually sheer hatred and prejudice for society and humanity.  Hatred and prejudice spurred on by mental weakness and defeatism and psychological dismemberment from a normal social status to a criminal status which is the core reasoning.
Religious anarchy is a method of spawning such violence and terrorism.  It is the 'fear-factor' and at the same time the 'appeal-factor' for its own survival.  The stark contrast between today's religion and today's terrorism omits fear and rage and confusion in society, hence it should be stamped out with the thrust of law and diplomacy as well as arrest strategies by police and army forces as soon as possible. 
The impossible is possible through knowing such truths.  Terrorism and violence can be eradicated with the right attitudes.  Making religion a scapegoat or blaming a muslim or person of faith is abnormal, prejudice itself and wrong, because there is no connection which can truly be made aside from the sycophantic link established by terrorist factions which have already been dismissed by people with proper formal religious education.
There is a clear line of right and wrong most people should understand when it comes to Religion/Race/Culture however in some societies it has been made clear these lines are more blurred than we initially gave ourselves credit for, and we should always strive to realise first and foremost the differences in bad and good, right and wrong, before conclusions are jumped to about so many people belonging to a faith in the wake of tragic events. Corrosive afterthoughts can poison and incite more hatred and prejudice in society; and the rest of the world, aiming for more equality and understanding on living peacefully.

Discrimination

Introduction Equality and Diversity and anti-discrimination Law in London, UK, in USA; Europe; Asia; Middle East; Australia; Southeast Asia; and the rest of the world, is hugely important to social progress for the safety of children in the future, and the safety of our modern day thinking.  The understanding of equality and diversity comes 'hand in hand' with knowing what discrimination is, and how we go about creating an equal plateau and platform for people of all different types and backgrounds.  It is  very easy for people to become uneasy  at the sight and thought of different people who are very much unlike them and who live lives very differently to the way they live.  Of course this is very dangerous because it provides people with a self-inner-reason to act out of what it is constituted as normal everyday life behaviour, interacting without a reasonable and justified nature. The reasoning becomes nonsensical and a person is torment...

Theory of non-violence for Equality and Justice July 2016

Image
Non-violence is a theory and practice rooted in religion and civil disobedience.  The theory or practice of non-violence has long been contested as improbable or impossible, in a global society always in conflict.  Non-violent theorists and believers argue when there is already so much death and blood-shed, the oppressed have found far better solutions found with non-violence.  A large part of non-violent theory originates from the religion of Hinduism.  Non-violence is an internal belief built as a lifestyle choice.  It enables people to understand and appreciate the sanctity of all life, especially human life,  ahisma . Truth-force and love-force and moral-force are the components of  satyagraha,  which means “grasping love and truth” in its literal translation. However its meaning transcends further because of the work of Mohandas K Gandhi.  In 1931 he spoke, “I feel in the innermost recesses of my heart …that the world is...
