Why extremist/terrorists target holy places?

  1. Different sects & ideologies are colliding, the debate of “i am better Muslim & defender of faith” give moral boost to took arms and fight.

  2. world & regional powers have their own agendas of either destabilizing the countries & securing trade routes. To achieve this they use proxies (militant organizations) fund & equip them, provide justification by religious text.

Examples are: RSS, Al-Qaeda, Gay-Taliban’s, MSS in Bihar & Indian Green Revolution in Indian-Punjab.
