Peace V/s Terrorism

Dear Sir,
India, since time immemorial, has been a peace loving nation. India always showed the path of Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence. These are the 5 human values that are essential for peace in the world. This has been the practice of India and the best examples are Gautama Budha, Mahatma Gandhi and the likes.
Terrorism and violence have their roots in hatred and religious Intolerance. No religion in the world preaches hatred or violence. But only so-called influential people stemmed from thier selfish desires promote violence in the world.
Take the root of any religion, it has come to initiate an Individual into spiritual life where a person realizes that God is Omnipresent and is there in every individual.
But unfortunately today we have religious extremists who never bother about the purpose of the religion that they are fighting with thier fellow beings. It really pains when we see these people instigate violence for selfish needs.
As lovers of peace, common men in any part of the world should give thought on this and shun these so called religious leaders who promote hatred and violence.
The government on should have the will to combat terrorism. It should take decisions keeping the implications of broader perspective in the larger interests of its citizens. Should we support those governments and organizations? I think we should, if we have concern for our next generation and for the world peace.
