Terrorist organizations like the Taliban and Daesh continue to spread fear and panic through their terrorist activities. Thousands of innocent lives have been lost due to their terrorist activities throughout the world. In fact, the U.S. and Pakistan know what it feels like to lose thousands of innocent lives on their homeland due to acts of terror. It is no secret that these terrorist organizations are working side by side in regards to their terrorist objectives. A report issued by the U.S. State Department said:
“There were 13,463 attacks in 95 countries in 2014 — up by a third from the year before — with Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan bearing the brunt of extremist violence, the State Department said in a report. The largest number of attacks were carried out by Islamic State militants, who unleashed 1,083 assaults last year as part of a deadly march across Iraq and Syria. The Taliban were the next most lethal group, with 894 attacks.”
To say the least, it is important for our nations to remain united against those who pose a threat to our lands. Please share your views in regards to what must be done collectively to negate the growing threat of terrorism?

2014 data - does it reflect the world today?
How do these stats compare to other deaths in the region - i.e. those by Syrian forces, Iraqi forces, Pakistani forces, Israel and other group fighting factions?
How many of the lives were “innocent” vs “ally fighter deaths” vs “enemy fighter deaths”?
What level of lives taken were a result of friendly fire from the allies?
What has been undertaken to determine the true causes of terrorism?
When is state terrorism going to be truthfully entertained to get a context on other forms of terrorism?
Does number of attacks equal level of destruction and killing? I would think those with greater fire power could do as much damage in one attack that others do in hundreds of attacks.
So what must be done collectively?
Answer)
First of all is it true that this is a collective effort? In other words there are three ideologies at play … the one that wants to keep the status quo, one that wants to change the status quo and a third that merely wants to dwell in peace without being harmed or harming others.
It seems the people who want to keep the status quo are hoping to bring the people who want nothing to do with this on their side. Whereas the best policy is to help root out any form of oppression and injustice. It is wrong for the people to be under threat of higher powers as it is wrong for people to be killed by those who want to fight the higher powers. The fact is there is no more love and sanctity for life anymore. All forms of hypocrisy needs to go. If it is important to protect people of the West from terrorists then it is equally important to protect people of the East from their own oppressive regimes - it is wrong to allow that happen purely on the basis that those regimes are “keepers of the status quo”.
The buck lies not with the general public … it lies with existing powers and administrations across the global order of countries to be first and foremost ethical institutions for their own citizens and for the citizens of other countries alike. These days America has a lot to answer for - it is unable to quell the rising racial injustices in its own lands. Race is on the whole not an issue in the middle-east for example, except in Israel. Something can be learnt here … And we must be prepared to learn from one another. The middle-east suffers from nationalistic supremacy, but this is a modern phenomenon.
There was a time when people made films and movies about the government being the good guys … now it is increasingly popular to have films where the bad guys are the governments … We cannot have such a greed of resources that it forces us to breach our principles, which should be first and foremost to protect all life. That is the principle shared by all humans. Wars are destructive - they not only kill people but destroy ecosystems. This means weapons manufacture needs to stop. Are you willing to bring this change in the status quo? I think it is better to do it yourself than wait for those who want to change the status quo to try to change it by external means and influences.
I pray and hope for world peace - as the various Miss Worlds would say … but they say it without knowing how to actually achieve it. I don’t claim to know - but I certainly feel humanity needs to be restored - that is … our sense of human compassion and mercy for all creatures.

Why are you taking OP so seriously? He's just doing his job.
Re: Daesh and the Taliban responsible for the largest number of attacks
You can Google. He just copy pastes the same message on many forums and doesn't return to discuss.
They or he will not just be posting stuff ... They will be looking at the types of opinions and discussions generated as a result of these topics ... It's a type a probed concept seeding mechanism ... You know this too ... So on the off chance they see the responses or if in fact they are collecting responses I think it is necessary to use their topics as a mechanism to spread real solutions if not to them then at least to the public ... That is if you feel there are real solutions ... I am an idealist ... My solutions could be real but I ask a lot of introspection from all parties.
Re: Daesh and the Taliban responsible for the largest number of attacks
I don’t have a problem with the solutions you propose. Just saying that if one’s salary depends on the number of posts one makes, it really doesn’t matter what kind of discussion it generates.
… but they say it without knowing how to actually achieve it. I don’t claim to know - but I certainly feel humanity needs to be restored - that is … our sense of human compassion and mercy for all creatures.
