Terrorists Are Made, Not Born

Chris Kyle, an American Sniper, had killed a mother and her son among the 160 persons he had shot down in Iraq during US operations there and he was justifying it by saying somewhat like this, “That mother had already died (which is obvious because even if he had not killed her, she would have died in the explosion) and he was trying to stop her from taking his fellow troopers along with her”.

It was shown in the film, American Sniper, as well.

From an American’s point of view, killing that woman was justified that way because he was merely trying to save others’ lives. Even my friends who watched the movie were justifying him.

However it clearly shows the mind set of Americans who give zero value to lives of those who are living elsewhere on this planet.

Look at that incident from a different angle. Both that mother and child were in their own country, the only place where they can live. They had never attacked America or any other nation. Both were literally innocent. Iraq invasion created a situation where they were not allowed to live in peace even in their own country. If they had not supported those who fight against invaders, they would get killed by them. If they stand by them, they would get killed by US soldiers.

Whatever they did then were for their survival. If they had not done what they were trying to do, you tell me what was the other option that would have saved their lives?

And an American Sniper, Kris Kyle, who went to another country and killed an innocent mother and child in their own country is now simply justifying it saying that he was trying to save his fellow troopers (they too had entered in that country illegally and they were terrorising innocent mothers, infants and children who were trying to survive in very difficult situations).

And now a movie, created based on that invasion and killings, is breaking all collection records and Americans feel proud of their valiant snipers.

What was that innocent mother's crime? That little boy was in utter fear but still, he was simply obeying what his mother told him to do. Was that a crime? Were they terrorists?

What would you do if you are in such a situation?

If they were terrorists, I love such terrorists because I too would have done what they did if I were put in such a situation. You denied their right to live and enjoy life on earth.

Terrorists are made, not born. They are made by religions, oppression, discrimination and invasion which are all man-made products. You are killing innocents and ignoring the root causes. You are then making money by making films based on your crimes committed.

Aren't you all terrorists?
