How To Produce More Terrorists

The recent bombing incidents at Boston Marathon in the US and at the BJP office in Bangalore (India) have left me sad and dismayed. I am disappointed at the decline in quality and quantity of such terrorist attacks.

It is very important for countries like India and the US to have more homegrown terrorists as it has become increasingly difficult for the terrorists from outside to carry out terror attacks on foreign soil. There are many websites that teach people how to make bombs, but very few that clearly demonstrate how to make terrorists out of ordinary people. Who will make these bombs if there are no terrorists?

Here are a few easy-to-follow tips to radicalize simple peace-loving idiots and turn them into terrorists.

1. First, we need to keep people ignorant and uneducated so that we can easily stoke the fear of cultural annihilation among them. It should be instilled in their minds that their way of living, their culture, religion, and civilization are under attack, and would soon disappear if they didn't rise against the enemies. They should be made to believe that some words spouted by certain wise men, dead for thousands of years, and a bunch of corrupt traditions from the past few decades are more important than their own lives and the lives of other human beings. They should feel like victims before being initiated into terrorism. Any ideology other than religious chauvinism such as patriotism and nationalism can also be used to provoke dimwits to kill or get killed.

2. To demarcate the enemies, it is absolutely necessary to highlight the differences. It should always be us vs. them. Our way of living should be eulogized while the enemy’s ways should be condemned in severest terms. Never ever should it be implied or intimated that we are all basically same, i.e. human beings, with similar aspirations, suffering from same maladies and insecurities.

3. We should glorify the terrorists and show people only the rosy pictures of terrorists’ lives, as if they are full of camaraderie, adventure, and genuine purpose. The wannabe terrorists should not be exposed to the real murky side that demonstrates the psychologically wrecked and socially dysfunctional lives. They themselves will find it out when all the other options of living normal lives would become extinct.

4. To carry out the above agenda, organizations or states should have well-oiled propaganda machines. Newspapers, TV channels, websites should be used to pour out venom against the enemies and motivate those at the crossroads. On the internet, virtual communities can be formed where the members can help each other in keeping the flame of hatred burning bright.

5. Besides the state sponsored terrorism by armed forces, non-state terrorism should also receive covert or overt, physical and material support from the politicians, religious leaders, intelligence agencies, police, etc. The Muslim fundamentalists in Pakistan, the white supremacists in the West, and the Hindu and Muslim troublemakers in India should be given free hand to operate to realize their full potential.

India has already made a name for itself as a nation of rapists. Only when the terrorists start operating with the audacity and impunity shown by the current crop of rapists, would our country be able to acquire the much coveted distinction of being number one terrorist state and produce horde of terrorists. I have seen many hate groups active on the internet. They need a little more guidance and direction. We can certainly do this. Yes, we can!

Jai Shri Ram! Allah-O-Akbar! Keep America American! Maharashtra For Marathis! Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! (Choose any one according to your ideology.)
