PARIS HAS BEEN hit by a series of explosions and shooting incidents throughout the city tonight.

Police at least 118 people were killed during a hostage-taking at the Bataclan theatre, with at least 40 more dead in several separate attacks.

What we know so far:

  • Reports that at least 118 people have been killed in a siege at the Bataclan theatre.
  • Three explosions, including two suicide bombings, outside the Stade de France during France-Germany football match. President Francois Hollande evacuated.
  • Separate shootings at further locations in Paris.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has set up a phone line at 01-408-2000 for anyone worried about relatives or friends who not yet accounted for in Paris.

Any Irish in Paris can also contact the Embassy on +33144176700.

AFP quotes police sources as saying at least 18 people have been killed.

Paris police now say at least 26 people have been confirmed dead, and that a hostage-taking is under way at the Bataclan theatre on Boulevard Voltaire.

A witness at the scene of the hostage-taking at the Bataclan theatre says “There was blood everywhere,” adds that the attacker used a pump-action shotgun.

Le Parisien now reports that at least 30 people have been confirmed dead.

The Associated Press reports that 100 people have been taken hostage at the Bataclan theatre, and that the death toll has risen to 35.

Spectators at tonight’s France-Germany football match are reportedly taking refuge inside the Stade de France.

AP are reporting that 35 people have been confirmed dead, with 100 hostages taken at the Bataclan theatre on Boulevard Voltaire in Paris

The deputy mayor of Paris says it’s too early to conclude that the attacks are coordinated acts of terror – but says that it “looks that way”.

There are various reports coming in of another shooting – this time at les Halles, a shopping centre in the centre of the city. These reports are still unconfirmed right now. Understandably, there is a lot of confusion around exactly what is happening in the city at present.

This animated map shows the breadth of the attacks across Paris tonight.

President Obama has called the attacks tonight an “attack on all humanity”.

Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reports that more emergency services have arrived on the scene at the Bataclan theatre in the last few minutes, where some 100 people are being held hostage.

There are preliminary, unconfirmed reports that a certain number of hostages have escaped from the siege at the Bataclan theatre.

Obama: “We are reminded in this time of tragedy that the bonds of liberté, égalité and fraternité are not only values that the French people care so deeply about but they are values that we share. Those values are going to endure far beyond any act of terrorism or any hateful vision of those that perpetrated the crimes this evening.”

Police officers and rescue workers gather around a victim outside in the 10th arrondissement tonight.

President Francois Hollande addresses the French people, declares a state of emergency and closure of France’s borders:
“I have also called the cabinet which is going to meet soon… This state of emergency will be decreed which means certain places will be closed. Travel may be banned and decisions may be taken about arrests throughout the whole of France”
“The second decision is that borders will be closed”
“My thoughts are with the numerous victims, for the injured, we have to show compassion and solidarity. We also have to show unity”

Hollande:

“France must be strong and great… We also have to call on everyone to be responsible. What the terrorists want is to make us afraid, to seize us with fear. There is something to be afraid of… But we are a nation that can immobilise and once again can overcome the terrorists”

Residents of Paris are offering refuge to anyone stranded in the city tonight, using the #PorteOuverte (Open Door) hashtag:

There are preliminary reports of automatic gunfire being heard outside the hostage situation at the Bataclan theatre.

Le Figaro reports that police may have launched an assault on the Bataclan theatre, where up to 100 people are being held hostage.

Some details of what happened in side the Bataclan theatre this evening are starting to emerge.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has called for unity among the French people, and expressed support for Francois Hollande, saying “terrorists have declared war on France.”

In the face of exceptionally serious terrorist attacks, my first thoughts go to the victims of these barbaric acts, their families, their loved ones, and the security forces who are showing exemplary courage.

In these tragic circumstances, the solidarity of all French people is essential. It is in this spirit that I support the decision taken tonight to declare a state of emergency and close the borders.

The terrorists have declared war on France. Our response must demonstrate grit and determination at every moment.

sarkofb Nicolas Sarkozy Nicolas Sarkozy

Speaking at the scene of the Bataclan theatre siege a short time ago, Francois Hollande vowed that the “fight against the attackers will be without mercy.”

US Secretary of State John Kerry, who speaks fluent French, has addressed his condolences to the people of France, in their own language.

I join with the President of the United States in condemning the terrorist attacks in Paris.

This is an attack on humanity and all freedom-loving people.

The Procureur de la Republique (state prosecutor) in Paris has confirmed that five terrorists were killed over the course of the night.

Guardian journalist Jon Swaine has captured this image of the French tricolour being shone from the top of One World Trade Centre in New York – the successor to the Twin Towers.

More evidence that tonight’s horror has effectively placed the city of Paris on lockdown.

All district offices, schools, museums, libraries, gyms, swimming pools, outdoor food markets, will be closed “from tomorrow,” and all planned protests or demonstrations are cancelled. Only marriages will continue to be conducted.

The Associated Press has this raw footage of French security forces storming the Bataclan theatre, and a number of seemingly shocked and dazed hostages emerging to safety.

Associated Press / YouTube

The state prosecutor for Paris, Francois Molins, has warned that accomplices of tonight’s attackers – five of whom were killed – may still be on the loose, AFP reports.

Here’s a selection of Saturday’s front pages, which are understandably dominated by tonight’s horror in Paris.

Le Figaro’s headline is “War right in the middle of Paris.”

Libération has, simply, “Carnage in Paris.”

The national edition of the Le Parisien newspaper has “Terrorist massacre in the middle of Paris.”

La Voix du Nord leads with “Horror in Paris.”

From the Associated Press:

The Paris police prefect said the attackers at the Bataclan theatre blew themselves up with suicide belts as police closed in, killing four people.

He said the gunmen first sprayed cafes outside the venue with machine gunfire, then went inside the concert hall and killed more before the assault by security forces.

The prefect, Michel Cadot, said the one set of attackers was at the stadium and at nearly the same time the second group attacked within the city.

Cadot said all the attackers are believed dead, although authorities are hunting for any possible accomplices.

Witnesses to the Bataclan theatre massacre have been telling Libération exactly what happened.

(Translated).

The killers arrived about half an hour after the concert started, through the main entrance. They cut down everyone who was at the bar.

Then, we saw some movement in the pit. It was like a gust of wind in wheat field. Everyone was falling down – dead, injured and alive.

Even if you never had any experience of war, you understood right away what was going on. We followed a security guard…

…Two of us made it to the roof, and one in a room where he waited for police. We waited on the roof for two hours, around 50 of us.

We felt trapped like rats. There was shooting going on everywhere.

U2 have cancelled their concert in Paris on Saturday night, expressing their “shock and disbelief” at tonight’s attacks, and saying they were “devastated” by the massacre during the concert at the Bataclan.

Our in-depth coverage will begin again early on Saturday. But for now, here is a selection of images from Paris, on what has been an almost unbelievably horrific and tragic Friday night.

    They had. The Catholic Church teaches that the Bible does not err in faith and morals and makes excuses for the horrendous bloodletting that surpassed anything the IRA ever did in evil.

    A number of cases of mass killings of people, apparently at God’s behest, are recorded in the Old Testament:

    The Flood (Genesis 6-8)
    The cities of the plain, including Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18-19)
    The Egyptian firstborn sons during the Passover (Exodus 11-12)
    The Canaanites under Moses and Joshua (Numbers 21:2-3; Deuteronomy 20:17; Joshua 6:17, 21)
    The Amalekites annihilated by Saul (1 Samuel 15)

    Don’t forget that this God who Jesus allegedly claimed to be had to have adulterers and fortune-tellers and gays stoned to death!

    9/11 was even an inside job.. It makes perfect sense if you put yourself in bushes shoes.. But it’s to hard for most people to comprehend that a government could do such a thing. To me I can see the positives the sickos could get from it.. USA the most protected country in the world and yet a terrorist can hijack a plane and fly it into a iconic building.. Why is there not CCTV footage released of the Pentagon being attacked?? It’s the most secure camera ridden place on earth.. And yet only a picture of smoke and fire was released? Why I ask? ..

    @Davi O’Keefe. No! What about these below,-
    —”In late 1941, the Wehrmacht began recruiting among prisoners of war and the civilian populations in its eastern occupied territories. Azerbaijanis, Turkestanis, Kalmyks, Ukrainians, Georgians, Armenians, and various others fought as part of the Wehrmacht’s so-called Eastern Troops. In mid-1943, the Eastern Troops numbered more than 300,000; a year later, that number had doubled, the vast majority were non-Slavic minorities from the southern fringes of the Soviet empire, and many thousands of them were Muslims from the Caucasus, the Crimea, the Volga-Ural region, and Central Asia. At the same time, Himmler began enlisting non-Germans into the Waffen-SS, first West and North Europeans and later non-Germanic peoples, among them Muslims from Bosnia, Herzegovina, Albania, and from the Soviet Union. It became one of the greatest mobilization campaigns of Muslims led by a non-Muslim power in history.

    It doesnt really take that much planning. Get a few guys, a few guns, a few bombs. Its a lot easier to take lives than save them.

    There is a huge problem in the muslim community of this islamist ideology. They maintain that islam and the west can not co-exist. If you say “all muslims out” and just write off all muslims as terrorist wackjobs you are actually propping up the same narrative as the islamists, a clash of civilisation us vs them scenario.

    Peope who say terrorism has zero to do with islam are equally unhelpful. Its not reallistic or necessary to get 1.5 billion to stop being muslims. The only solution is to chip away at the fascist ideology of islamism. But by alienating and damning all muslims, or equally denying that the problem even has any connection to islam ( like so many backward pseudo-liberals today do), you are helping the ideology flourish.

    We are all human united by that shared bond of humanity. Instead of seeking difference, we should look to what we have in common.

    Muslim kids go to Muslim schools. They have to stick together and nearby to go to the same Muslim schools. break that mould by ridding them all of religion.

    Likewise we made a huge mistake when Martin Cullen amended the planning act of 2000 and allowed builders walk away from a previous requirement of having 1 in 5 housed built by them used for social housing. That would have integrated people very well indeed.. People from poorer backgrounds would have to live with people better of, but they would be outnumbered, and so would likely raise their game and their children would have a better start in life and a better environment too to grow, Cullen instead allowed builders buy their way out of it by giving money to councils instead. That is also partly responsible for our rent and homelessness crisis right now. Remember that the government would own those 1 in 5 and if the family were too problematic the council could kick them out.

    Instead we’ll just get more council estates and blackspots. We are getting all wrong and repeating the same mistakes over and over. It’ll do nothing but increase crime for the next generation and needlessly keep kids disadvantaged. Wake up.

    Orite. So Muslim kids go to Muslim schools. So what are you going to do about it, huh? Force them to drop their religion, and integrate with non Muslims? How do you think that will go down with their parents, their community, their Imams? You are utterly deluded if you think it is that simple. God help us, we don’t have a chance.

    Actually Muslim integration has been a huge success throughout Europe over the past decades. Muslims in Britain especially are more likely to settle in mixed neighbourhoods than any other religious minority. What we’re dealing with here is an international issue created by a sinister but wealthy Islamic group in the Middle East and decades of western abuse and propped up dictators. This rabid reactionary hatred of all Muslims is exactly what extremists want to sow in the west. They preach that we are butchers and infidels; and a lot of the commenting on here plays into this preaching.

    @King Tut. It’s a bit naive to say that this wouldn’t happen if there was no religion in schools. France has an aggressively secular policy throughout civic life and has not managed to avoid religious based segregation, hatred, violence, discrimination and terrorism.
    Interestingly, France pursued a policy of interculturalism which does not allow, in theory, for any one group to isolate itself unlike multiculturalism as adopted in Britain.

    While you may be personally more invested in this – the fact is that people care more about the lives of a few white europeans than millions of Muslims.

    yoman, understand that we have this constant outpouring of sympathy for these events when they happen in the west, but they are seldom reported when they happen in the Muslim world. It is infuriating to feel powerless in the wake of islamophobia and racism that will affect people close to me in the wake of this. That will kill far, far many more people. I’m just tired of having our sympathy pre-programmed like this.

    Islam is no more based on violence than any of the other major religions.

    Far more Muslims die at the hands of terrorists than westerners.

    The ignorance you are spreading isn’t innocent – it’s genocidal. It is the will to completely eradicate, brutally and violently, entire cultures because of an understanding of them you have built up from right wing media. To pillage, rape and ransack, just like Europeans did to the Muslim world, creating many of these problems in the first place.

    It’s not the Muslims that are the “savages”. If you want to see the face of true evil, just look at what the Right are saying.

    Make no mistake that this is what awaits Ireland in the future. Their strategy is to infiltrate and assimilate until there are suitable numbers to enable movement without arousing suspicion. Once it is too late, and the government begin to clamp down on dissent, we will become legitimate targets.

    I agree in part to what you say Fiona, however fear amongst the population is not the full agenda of these terrorists. These zealots will not be happy until the fear has paralysed society into inaction and subservience. I can tell you that the only solution is an immediate crack down on hardliners, deport those ones that are not citizens, and then support the moderate imams. There can be no tolerance whatsoever for preachers of hate.

    Tordelback, that’s a good question.

    The terrorists need the likes of Garwig in order to create the polarisation which serves their agenda.

    It is sad, demeaning and part of the bad sign of human nature, when people use such derogatory expressions. The first step in spreading demonisation I’d to deprive the enemy if the recognition of its shared humanity.

    I wonder if Christianity has anthing to say on this topic? I’m a humanist.

Until they rewrite it then they can take a hike. All it takes is one nut job to live by the hate that is in that book. They don’t integrate, why would we let them in? It’s madness.

    Why is the obligation on the Muslim world, made up of over 1.2bn people to constantly denounce acts which nobody should assume they have anything to do with?

    You are only reinforcing the idea that these attacks are some sort of Inherent part of Islam and Muslims need to move past it and disown it. In reality it’s not the case at all.

    Things like this happen every other week in Syria, Palestine… yet you want to punish them further? You demand they take responsibility for something they didn’t do, and you still won’t offer them Asylum for problems that the US, Uk, France largely created in the first place?

    It will continue to escalate as long as people continue to characterise Islam as inherently violent and radical while massacring hundreds of thousands of muslims in the name of the war on terror. It will continue to escalate as long as we reinforce the idea that a single white, european non-muslim life is worth thousands of muslim lives.

    At a debate in Trinity College Dublin on 1St. October, Asghar Bukhari offered an explanation, by way of justification. for the Charlie Hebdo outrage. He was cheered to the rafters by a large section of the young, educated and PC audience.

    When Brendan O’Neill, a participant in the debate, rose to make a point of order, that he [Bukari] was excusing murder, Asghar Bukhari would not yield.

    The same large section of the audience applauded loudly when Bukari suggested that O’Neill was motivated by racism.

    Absolutely horrendous it’s impossible to defeat this kind of terrorism. No matter how many times US leaders speak of ‘winning’ the war on terrorism it is simply not true. This is akin to the Vietnam war, no amount of state of the art war machinery will win you a war when the ‘enemy’ is everywhere and can counter in the most public of places with the most primitive of means. In other news 136 people were killed in Syria on 27th Oct, including 38 civilians. Pethaps I missed the Sky News mass hysteria that day! RIP the innocents who’ve lost their lives in all of the countries concerned. A bit of balanced reporting needed though when it comes to atrocities like these.

    When the dust settles and the investigation begins in earnest they will find that this was carried out by the enemy within. Entire suburbs of Paris have been No Go areas for non Muslims for years and successive French Governments of all Political hues ignored them all in the name of Political Correctness. The Charlie Hebdo killers came from one such suburb and nothing was done to clean out these vipers nests. Now we will see if the current Government has the balls to deal with them after this. And Merkal should take note. This will be Berlin, Frankfurt or Munich in a few years.

    Blaming Islam and spreading race hatred is definitely not the way to defeat these terrorists. French Muslims are just as much appalled by these attacks as everyone else is.
    If any good should come from these outrages it is that the jihadists have finally isolated themselves from the community they claim to represent.

    Like as opposed to Christianity?

    - I don’t recall any Islamic involvement in any of the major wars of the last 100 years, both world wars, Vietnam and Iraq etc come to mind, where Christians were either slaughtering each other at home in Europe or slaughtering innocents abroad in the middle and far east, so we need not flatter ourselves by assuming we have the moral high ground, and if you believe Muslims did 9/11 I’ve a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in buying.

    This is probably another false flag mission to blame on Muslims – google Michael Meiring, a CIA/Mossad agent who blew his legs of in an apartment in Malaysia when the home made bomb he was priming went off prematurely, he was promptly flown out of the country by the US authorities where an outstanding extradition warrant has been ignored by the US government for the past ten years.

    The wave of bombings that plagued the area where Meiring was staying coincidentally ceased after he was whisked out of the country.

    You won’t read or see anything about that in your Zionist controlled MSM.

    ^ really? You don’t think propogating the concept of an “Islamic invasion”(Evidence of this please?) is going to stir up hatred towards Muslims?

    The Muslim world is not a “hell hole”. There are many places in the Muslim world that have had more female heads of state than the US, or have better standards of living (on average) than the US. The Muslim world tends to be more poor and regressive due to a complicated history largely involving western colonialism. It’s little to do with Islam itself.

    There is no “islamic invasion”.

U.S./Israeli/Zionist backed I.S. have struck on European soil. Of course this was all planned way-way back in the destabilisation of the middle east enabling countless refugee’s to flood into Europe and of course, something like this happens.
    Problem – Create a problem kill over a hundred people in France.
    Reaction- The people of Europe react in outrage and fear looking to their government and the European Union for answers and help.
    Solution – The government and the European Union bring in stricter laws on EVERYONE taking away rights and liberties and invading on basic privacy = More control
    That’s the name of the game.

    This sort of violence is business as usual in Syria and Palestine, but of course we get all these comments aimed at Muslims when the west has a death toll of about 2 Million in it’s nebulous “war on Terror”.

    France is a viciously racist society, dismantling Roma camps every other week, and there are regular attacks on both Jews and Muslims. These attacks are tragic but don’t happen without context. Just look at the ignorance and near genocidal hatred that people are expressing here.

    That sort of thing doesn’t exist in a vacuum. White westerners like to think their actions can meet without consequence, or they can rewrite history to suit their needs. The fact is that we do much worse to them than they do to us.

    Well James it’s very convenient when your definition of terrorist only includes Muslims in the first place.

    I would consider the US Government’s “War on Terror” to be sustained terrorism in of itself. Many innocent people – hundreds of thousands – died in the name of safeguarding the west. And again, such incidents happen every other week. At the hands of their forces.

And the Refugees who will be massacred by the reinforced borders, who will be killed by boards guards, drown trying to cross… all those images and ultimately you people only want more of it… they take 50, you take 50,000…

    bingo, i don’t lack sympathy for the victims of these attacks.t he problem is that everyone else lacks sympathy for the refugees that will now be doubled down on in their name, regardless of how they personally felt about it. for the muslims who’ll have to endure another wave of violence and exclusion because of this.

    i don’t need to say anything about the French murdered because there’s already a massive outpouring of public sympathy. we don’t see that for the victims in Syria of US or Russian air strikes. I’m not trying to take away from the suffering of those in this incident – I don’t believe it’s possible for me to do so – but you’re very happy to silently endorse the massacre of people because of their religion, or geographic location.

    Yet I’m the bad guy here, who lacks empathy? I don’t think so.

    Sorry Leighanna, You do need to show sympathy! I think you think you’re the only one here who’s human. You’re not. I certainly don’t want Syrian’s to be blown up, shot, tortured etc by other Syrians or outsiders. Syria simply isn’t my fault though – you keep saying ‘the west’ – Ireland is not ‘the west’. And I’m not going to be guilted into ‘the west’ tag because the Americans and Brits and French and others have gotten involved in foreign countries. I didn’t agree with the invasion of Afghanistan or Iraq and I’m horrified by the numbers of people who have been killed. Regarding ‘refugees’ – many of those coming are NOT REFUGEES – they’re economic migrants. Who crosses 5/6/7 countries in Europe as a refugee, to reach safety? Cop on. I am all for Ireland helping some of the most vulnerable refugees – I think we should take these from the camps in Lebanon, Turkey so that we can take the most vulnerable and make sure they are refugees and do security checks. But we are not obliged to. The resources of this country do not belong to the world.

    Religion has everything to do with attacks like this when it’s used to fuel and legitimize acts of viciousness. If Islam can be used to justify killing 150 innocent people in one night then Islam is a problem. There’s a pattern here, you’d have to be blind not to see it.

    (Terrorism and Life) Extracts form the New Book: “The South African Cross” By Joe Odiboh

    “Socialism and capitalism are nothing by philosophic use of words and we all know that no sociology, psychology, or philosophy book or thoughts and theories have ever found problems to human problems and needs. Even those books and philosophies that have defined basic human needs have not in any way touched the hearts of people and government to provide basic human needs. They are simply like theories for academic use in economics and commerce. The practice of this theory must become a moral code in society.
    Today, I respect and honour late former President Nelson Madiba Mandela, and my special appreciation goes to the Republic of Ireland for providing for all its people and immigrants to their land these basic human needs. Other world leaders must borrow a leaf from the Irish people. We must try and make the world simpler and not sophisticated. Sophistication brings more sorrow, pains and tears in our eyes. It creates divisions and barriers in humankind. It breaks down the community spirits in our hearts and minds.
    Sophistication of life makes very simple things for the people and for the community seems like climbing the tallest mountains for our world leaders in other nations of the world. Today, Ireland is a quiet, responsible, simple, and reasonable country with very quiet and reasonable people who are there trying to live in peace, and harmony with only pockets of very few isolated incidents of crime and violence. It is a country built upon the foundations of community spirit.
    This is why it is very hard to see cops carrying guns even if you live in Ireland for twenty years. The kind of peaceful life in the Republic of Ireland is unique and commendable. Belfast or Northern Ireland is still forcefully under the British rule, and I believe with time Belfast or Northern Ireland will become a role model for peace and stability because of their Irish decent and relationship.
    We are not animals in animal farm, but humans. We must not allow ourselves to become products of animal instincts and egos. We must do something meaningful in life for humanity. We must not allow hate and greed to dampen this vision to adopt the policy of basic human needs.
    Whichever way we want to rule our people, if a government cannot carry out this simple task of providing basic human needs for its people, and get the community working, such a government must never take place. It should resign and give those who are ready to do this the opportunity to do so. This is the hopes and dreams I have for humanity.
    This is the hopes and dreams humanity must seek in their lives and in their government and they must be ready to achieve and defend it as their freedom and democracy in life. If need be that as communities we must die to defend our people’s rights and privileges for basic human needs in life, and community empowerment to develop, let it be a cause for which we must be prepared to die. We do not need to die to achieve this aim, because power belongs to the people. No leader is greater than his people. No man is an Island.
    In a capitalist world, life is like the wild jungle where only the strong survives in the name of equal rights and justice. Whereas we all know that there is nothing like equal rights and justice. It does not exist in the practical sense of the word because it has never prevailed in any one’s life. It is simply about being free and fair. But who is really free? Who is really fair? We all know the old stories of life and human existence on earth since the time of its creation.
    We cannot and must never speak of equal rights and justice if everyone does not have equal rights and justice to basic human needs provided for all by their government. That provision of these basic human needs is what fulfills the promise of independence, equal rights and justice
    How can we have equal rights and justice when all fingers are not equal? Knowing that this is the case; we have to make meaningful efforts to balance the equations in human lives in such a way as to make all fingers useful and functional to better the lots of all mankind. I have enumerated in very clear terms how to do this and make all fingers useful and equal because of its sizes and shapes.
    The fingers are in the perfect form the way God created them to fit into living beings. In the same way, God created us in different colours, shades, shapes and sizes. We were created perfect in the sight of God. But how we respect and accept each other as one global family and community on earth and provide for all our human needs is the bone of contention.
    The size and shapes of our hands do not matter, but what work the hands do in life to better our lives, and make great difference in human lives; is what makes such hands great hands. The hands that kills, steals, murders, idle, or are used for negative influences in society are evil hands, perverse hands, immoral hands, and unskillful hands.
    As the choice is ours in what we do with our hands, our hearts and minds; so shall it be with what we have done with the leadership and responsibilities placed on our shoulders by our people and our God.
    This is the decision we have to make as a people, white or black, or as individuals. We must regard our acts and deeds as a burden we must all have to bear on our shoulders and on our conscience in deciding our case between white and black in what good or evils we have committed our lives to in South Africa and on earth.
    In deciding the fate of South Africa, we must use our hearts, our minds and our hands very skilfully in doing well for all our people in other to have a perfect and functioning balanced national growth and development, where safety and security of lives and properties are securely guaranteed.
    We must always remind ourselves that though all fingers are not equal, and all colours are not the same for all the flowers of the earth, we must use our hands very positive knowing that all fingers are useful no-matter how long or how short a finger may seem, because God created our hands the way they are for the good of man.
    The equality or inequality of our fingers is what makes the hand very perfect, effective, and useful in human lives to do the things we do on earth. This is why all races and colours are very important in human lives and in South Africa; a perfect example of the beauty and manpower available for human growth and development of the hopes and dreams of this great nation.
    It is unavoidable that evil have inhabited the hearts of some people and some of our leaders, many of whom are enemies of the people. However, in this search by most of our world leaders to control the affairs of man, we all know that human abuse and injustice is the order of the day in human life, and the politics of man is built upon the foundations of lies and deceit, quest for power, the kind of powers that corrupts absolutely. This is why most leaders like to behave as if they were thin gods to be worshiped.
    Unknown to these leaders who behave like gods, those the gods wish to kill or condemn are first given these powers of wealth and leadership, fame, and then absolute powers that go with human greed. How we use these powers becomes a moral issue.
    It is what defines the institution of leadership from one leader to the other and from one ruler to the next. One thing that does not change is that no condition is permanent. The nature of life and death and the principles of come and go have taken care of that which cannot change. The real change we need is basic human needs that make life more safe and secure right here on earth.
    We have seen enough powers right here on earth and man is no-longer frightened of human powers as it was in the days of Adolph Hitler. These kind of power whether in democratic or authoritarian rule is blunt, blind, and deaf for some to shape life and do certain things to ensure selfish interest. They wish to manipulate human lives in a programmed conventionality to suit certain purposes and fulfill only a cross section of certain hopes and aspirations. These are the powers of fears and failures.
    Man, have never provided good leadership on earth because they have never really taken into account the need for basic human needs for all mankind. Human leadership is a human problem which drags man down to the mud unless man starts to see the face and handwriting of God in the walls of leadership.
    Leadership has always been about injustice, selfishness and human wickedness and greed. Most past and present world leadership have for too long failed humanity, and this is why one problem in one part of the continent spills over to affect other parts of the world. When one finger touches oil, it soils the rest of the fingers with it. That is the way life is here on earth, same way it led to the Arab spring, or Arab awakening.
    Those nations on earth who have witnessed wars, rebellions and genocide know that war is not of any good in human life. It is an act of wickedness or in self defense where and when necessary. Even so, the cause of most wars on earth is simply wickedness of the heart and soul, human greed to possess the earth and its resources, and power tussle.
    Even in the war on terror, great leaders such as former President George Bush Jr. and other world leaders with their democracy have proved in their wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that war is never solutions to everlasting peace, or solutions to acts of terrorism. The wars in Iraq have proved that when two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.
    We are all fully aware that the chemical and biological weapons which Saddam Hussein was accused to have as excuse to engage in “Operation Desert Storm” was never found to this day, and nobody cares for this injustice and for all those innocent souls who lost their lives in this unholy war. These are endless wars with endless problems and worsening situation as one terrorist group after the other continue in the wars of destruction and deaths in these war torn nations.
    Syria had these biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction, and was never attacked or destroyed. Though Syria have handed over their biological weapons to the international community for destruction, the destruction done in Syria by their leader is far worse than what chemical and biological weapons can do. ISIL has invaded Iraq and Syria, threatening to establish Islamic states in most parts of the world. The United States is forced to lunch military air strikes on these forces of evil both in Syria and Iraq, at the same time trying to help fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan. When will all these wars and terrorism come to an end? When will the madness end?
    The war in Syria is a war of shame and national disgrace because there was no reason for such destruction of human lives and properties. The rebels and Syrian forces alike must be blamed for this war. The rebels are not better than those they are fighting in government because they are all and the same people with same evil intents in human lives. It is no use supporting the rebels against the President Assad forces in Syria because in a country of the blind, a one eyed man is the king of the castle. If President Assad is defeated in Syria and ousted unceremoniously, Syria will become worse than Iraq, and Islamist fundamentalist may take advantage of the situation to establish an Islamic state where hate, injustice, and lack of fundamental human rights will reign supreme. What Syria needs is a peaceful resolution to their crises, mediation, negotiation, peace, truth, and reconciliation.
    The destruction already done in this country over the years is enormous. We must not forget that it is very easy to destroy anything but very difficult to rebuild all that are already destroyed in Syria. It will take time and enormous resources to rebuild Syria. This is why this insanity must come to an end immediately unless the Syrian people have no true love for their country. The war in Syria is a useless and wasted exercise, an accident that should never been allowed to happen in the first place.
    It is time for all warring factions in Syria to sit down in shame and bemoan their nation. They should shake hands and hand over their weapons for storage. It is time for a compulsory ceasefire on both sides because both parties and all those involved in this war have no interest of the Syrians at heart. It is a war of pride and self ego.
    It is time to come to a negotiated settlement in the Syrian crises because there are no victors in this fight but only losers. The Syrian people are the victims and losers in this war of shame and national disgrace. It is time for these human serpents to down their weapons and put the interest of the nation above their self ego or opinions of leadership. It is time to start to think about the reconstruction process and reconciliation. There is no other way forward for the Syrian people than to come together and work together to build a better tomorrow for the Syrian people.
    It is no use supporting one group against the other simply because President Assad must go. Even if Assad is gone, it does not change the mind set of people or change the reality of things that Syria has disintegrated and destroyed. It does not build the institutions and properties and infrastructures already destroyed. It does not bring back the dead.
    Syrians must wake up from their nightmares and embrace peace, truth and reconciliation. The country must retrace its step and come to the realization that the reconstruction process is a great task ahead of all Syrians. It is very easy to destroy but difficult to rebuild. The Syrian people have blinded themselves from the reality that this civil war is doing no one any good. The stone that they saw coming has blinded their eyes. Yet I know that a stone that is seen coming does not blind one’s eyes. It is time for the Syrian people to rise up and say no more wars, and begin the reconstruction process. The world has used the Syrian crises as political game play because they do not really care for the Syrian people. That is why the war was allowed to continue for so long. It is a mockery of the Syrian people because nobody cares whether the Syrian people lived or die. When the Syrian people do not care what happens in their land and destroy their own country, others such as the ISIL, and other terrorist groups and war mongers will come and join the Syrian people to help destroy their nation. This makes it important for the Syrian people to have a change of heart and become reasonable enough not to play the fool with their fatherland and begin the reconstruction process. Nobody will do it for the Syrian people except Syrians.
    This reconstruction process is a harder task than the destruction process. President Assad is just one single individual in Syria but the warring factions must think about the millions of Syrians who are victims of injustice in this unholy crises.
    The Syrian rebels must understand that Syria was not Libya, and that President Assad was not Col. Gaddafi. These are two separate people in separate nations with separate destinies, and separate hopes and dreams. The foolishness in certain aspects of life is that most human beings often tend to act and react as sheep in certain situation and circumstances. Certain people are like flocks of sheep being directed and misdirected by the herdsman towards the slaughter house. In a flock of sheep, when one sheep jumps into the road towards an oncoming truck, every other sheep jumps along with it. This is the situation as witnessed in the so-called Arab spring.
    When we look at the outcome of this Arab spring, those who benefited from it are the press and media who fanned the burning flame of revolution and counter-revolutions. Egypt military came to their senses. Tunisia came to their senses. Libya is finding it hard to see how foolish they acted except that Col. Gadaffi was a dictator and an evil man. Gadaffi fell so easy and flat because he was a very greedy man, and those the gods want to kill are first made mad, deaf and dumb to the plights and yearning of their people. Gadaffi thought he was a god, untouchable, indestructible.
    Egyptians are crying for the return of their split milk that can never be. Bahrain is lucky to have escaped from its own self destruction. At the end, the situation and conditions of life in these Arab nations which went for the Arab spring are far worse than it was for them during their days in the so-called bondage. Many of these nations may never find peace in their lives unless they come together as a people to redefine their future and destiny. They must learn from the mistakes of the past to become better masters and effective captains of their ships.
    Saddam Hussein was a dictator and a war monger, a very dangerous man. He was not Osama Bin Laden. He fell because he thought he was the god of Iraq. He went from grace to grass because of his arrogance and pride as a thin god. Col. Gaddafi did not learn any lesson from the fall of Saddam Hussein. He was a close friend and allied of Nelson Mandela, but he never learn anything from this great legend. His pride and human greed drowned him in a pit of hell.
    They were both typical cases of world leaders the gods wished to kill. The gods made them greedy, mad, deaf and dumb. They had lost every sense of humanity in them and they had lost their sense of vanity. The gods in their land wanted them dead and made them deaf and dumb to the plights of their people. They had thought they were gods, and that they were larger than life. The same thing happened to Hitler of Germany, Gen. Sani Abacha of Nigeria, Mobutu of the DRC, Samuel Doe of Liberia, and several other leaders.
    They were so blinded by power and refused to leave the stage when the ovation was loudest. When destruction begets destruction in the wars of power tussle, we can rightly say that the poor innocent grasses are the poor innocent souls who get caught as victims of circumstance in these wars and terror.
    Many people see terrorism as an act of ignorance and emptiness, sadness, and madness. It is a way of human revolt against the institutions of man, against injustice and inequality of life in society. It is a way of advocating worse demonic evil as a possible replacement for a world order that is in it-self a system of evil breed and dubious intents.
    Terrorism is an advocacy of doom or apocalypse. It is not an Islamic or religious agenda. It is a fundamental anger and hate that brews in the hearts of men against those aspects of life that have never been truly fair to humanity. It is a war by humans against humanity. It is a war for the extermination of the human race in hope that we can be recreated, re-born and reincarnate into a brand new world in the Garden of Eden.
    Even for those aspects of life that are good and fair like going to school to acquire knowledge and education, gender equality, the work of UNICEF in providing vaccines and health needs for children, babies and pregnant mothers; it is sad that sadists who are enemies of humanity will act out of ignorance to kill and destroy anything good in humanity, because they have lost faith in life. It is madness to see terrorists targeting schools, churches, health workers, or any aspect of life that gives joy and hope to the common man.
    This is why terrorism is not a good concept or an alternative to anything good. It is very difficult to understand why evil must beget evil. It is unreasonable, perverse, and unskillful acts. Most of these children being educated or given health needs by UNICEF are children and babies belonging to the terrorists. When these terrorists are sick, they run to the hospital to get medical attention.
    They don’t lay back at home with their guns and bombs and die in pains. They get help and medical attention in other to stay alive. This is why some people think these people are having mental problems when they kill school kids and burn down schools and heritage sites which houses their own Islamic manuscripts on Prophet Mohamed. How can you set fire to the history of your religion? This is madness.
    This is the more reason why these terrorists are not representing any religious body or group. Their activities are un-Islamic, perverse, immoral, and unskillful. Islam preaches universal love and protects its books and historical artifacts and monuments.
    People who have lost all hopes and dreams in life are the ones who become terrorists, because they are tormenting from within their hearts and souls, possessed by demons, burning with desires of the Satan, because the body of death is full of the creatures of death. Anything that can make a man or a woman to take his or her own life, and take other innocent people along with them, is something that requires scientific and psychological research and analysis, and not wars to resolve.
    Hunting for terrorists to kill is like hunting for someone who is looking for death and praying to die. These are people with death wish. How can you kill people who have volunteered to die? These are people who want to die, who love to die, and who wish to die. By killing them, you fulfill their hopes and dreams because they are bodies of death full of the creatures of death. They don’t want to live in this world anymore because they are tired of the kind of life we live here on earth.
    Even so, it is true that it is not every terrorist that wish to die, many of them are afraid of death, and these people in the terrorist group use innocent souls, especially polluting the minds of children and women, indoctrinate them and force young men and women to their untimely death to satisfy their acts of terrorist agendas. Whichever way or impression I have of these terrorists, one thing is very clear in my mind, the show of love.
    So, what we need to do; is to capture them and beg them to live. Teach them the value of life, and help them to live good life, a better life for all. Let us teach them the beauty of human life, all the good things of life, and why it is good to help save other lives, and not kill people. Love, conquers all things where wars have failed. This lesson of life and goodwill can begin in detention camps which houses a lot of terrorists.
    I believe this is where the show of love, goodwill, and the need to help one another comes into play in the life of all mankind in our fight against terrorism. Once they understand the powers of love and life, they will refuse to kill themselves; instead they will embrace and appreciate their lives, love their lives and love others.
    Since we know that Islamic faith preaches universal love, and that experience have shown that people in the Islamic faith practice the power of giving and charity more than the Christians, we must not forget that Moslem are not only more charitable, but more dedicated to each others needs.
    They are more prayerful, united and dedicated than Christians worldwide. This is because it is a religion that is united as one, unlike the Christians with all kinds of denominations and multiplicity of prophets, intercessors, apostles, pastors, and God knows what?
    Islam is in better position to set the pace in ensuring basic human needs for all their people and worshipers. They cannot do this by conflicts in their countries, but by a determined resolve to uphold the spirit of giving and sharing. We need to help the world to stamp out the incidence of terrorism by a few dissident groups in that religion.
    They must understand that terrorists are giving that religion a stigma to tarnish the good image of their religious faith and belief. They must unite together as a front and say “No to Terrorism”. With the help of Moslem worldwide, I believe terrorism have no place in humanity.
    We must understand that acts of wickedness or terrorism is not a religious issue but a human issue of certain wicked souls trying to deceive others and gain cheap popularity and follower-ship by using religion as a means to achieve their evil and ignorant intentions.
    Any man that indoctrinates a youth, a child, and teaches him or her how to die as a suicide bomber, does not love that youth or child. Anyone who teaches and preaches hatred and death to humanity is an enemy of life.
    Such people should set themselves on fire if they are tired of life and die quietly, alone, and see if death is a thing of beauty and joy. They should not kill innocent souls because by killing innocent souls, they act as cowards. Mohamed was not a coward. Those who wish to die should die alone if they are no cowards. If the bombs they carry are so nice, they must blow themselves up alone in the wilderness so that they can go straight to Allah.
    Any terrorist that targets people and innocent souls is the greatest coward on the face of the earth, because he or she is afraid to die alone. If they are no cowards, they must bomb and blast themselves alone as heroes to make a point on earth regarding their unhappiness.
    We must remember that everyone wishes to go to heaven or paradise, but nobody wants to die. In a case where people wants to die in the name of terrorism or religious faith and belief, it is better to show them the heaven or paradise right here on earth so that they can embrace life fully and use it for a good cause, and not for terrorist acts and activities.
    If we teach those willing to die and take innocents souls along with them, the need to live, and teach them the value of human life, and make them to live this kind of good life with basic human needs, and have basic human rights and justice for all right here on earth; perhaps they will not be willing to die and kill us.
    It is very difficult to see someone with a very good and fulfilled life wishing to die. Instead, they run from death or anything that threatens their lives, because they love life, and do not wish to lose it and all that they have and their families.
    By refusing to die, they will not be planning or plotting against anyone anymore. In that case, the incidence of terror will be effectively reduced to its barest minimum or eliminated for the good of society. Love, without good intentions in a fulfilled life is a dismal love, a dead frustrating hellish love.
    Democracy and love are two things that were suppose to go hand in hand. If there is love, the leaders of the world must do unto their citizens exactly as they as leaders live their lives with their families.
    One thing is to be a leader, and another thing is to be a ruler. Anybody can be a ruler, whether illiterate or a moron and imbecile. It takes no wisdom to be a ruler and rulers are usually the ones who rule their countries or nations with total abandon and disdain; dragging down their nations daily into the pits of hell.
    Being a leader takes a great deal of wisdom, understanding and true love for their people. Such leaders must be able to deliver the goodies that fulfill the yearnings, hopes and aspirations of the people. It requires a great deal of equality and justice to exhibit the show of love to people who have placed great trust and hopes on their leader.
    Only leaders filled with so much love in their hearts for their people, love undiluted, love UN-mortgaged, the kind of love that adds meaning and values to life; that leadership can be said to be meaningful and realistic.
    Such ideal leadership as displayed in the exemplary characters of former President Nelson Mandela, and Mother Theresa are enough to lead the way and show the light to the world the kind of love that can exist in show of human kindness.
    It is good and nourishing to love and be loved, and this kind of leadership can do a great deal to better mankind. Love and leadership is patient, suffering and silence, poor and humble, innocent and honest.
    Some people were born with leadership, some achieve it, and others have it thrust upon them. How the various parties express leadership is a matter of following their hearts and moral conscience. It all depends on how much they are able to fight the temptations of the human flesh and needs, the insatiable desires of corruption and greed, the powers that corrupts absolutely.
    It is very easy to reason rationally and wisely as a wise man when there is no money, power and authority. At that time people tend to reason like Saint Joseph, or Apostle Paul. As soon as they are placed in power and positions of Authority, they come out in their true shades of colours.
    They start like President Barrack Obama of the United States, move forward like President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, and end up like President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Needless to speak about others, we all know their stories as tales of woes.
    Love is a universal power, the greatest human force which is as strong and realistic like the living fires of the Holy Ghost. Love is a Holy Ghost fire which is not something that can be feigned by anyone or a leader. In love, there is no pretending, because the light and darkness can never meet.
    A true leader is easily identifiable because by their colours we shall know them. One thing that cannot be understood is that man knows that no man is immortal, and life is not forever. Why our world leaders cannot find love in their hearts to do good for all humanity in the short time and opportunity they have in life, is something we find difficult to understand.
    I believe they can do it, because it is very simple and very easy, something that is moral, skillful, rewarding, honourable, and pleasurable. There is no greater joy in life than to love our people, put a smile on every face, and help restore their hopes and dreams.
    I know and believe that our leaders are people that can love and be loved. We all know that they do not have evil hearts and that they can change and become better leaders. We know that they can be misled by their advisers, and many of them did not know what they were doing.
    We are glad today, that since they have read this book, and will read this book, or access the information here, this book will enable them to understand why they were chosen as leaders for their people. We know that no leader is proud to die with a national curse upon his or her head, and upon the heads of their family.
    The chance and change is now to make amends, right now! This is not the time to continue to wallow in ignorance, emptiness, and uselessness as a leader. It is time to turn the table and do right by your people. The time has come when you must look inside of you upside-down and form that love, that true decent love that is pure and real, and use it effectively and competently to bring light and hope to the lives of your people, because you can do.
    You can do well over evil, show love over hate, show humility over arrogance, show sincerity and selflessness over corruption and greed, and by all these; you are a victor who have conquered sorrow, tears and blood in the lives of your people.
    Be a great warrior and champion by the fierceness of love that burns in your heart for your people. The powers of love will give you all the powers that you seek in life because it is the powers of light over darkness. It is the power that conquers everything and every creature or living things. Only love can save the planet, and save our local habitats.
    Love and leadership involves the principles of “You eat, I eat.” It is that intrinsic reciprocal display of affiliations between people in the show of love.
    If a leader is doing great and living a good life while in power, it is equally good to share this great and good life also with the people, so that they the people too can have a good life as normal people and be happy in the society like their leaders.
    In this way, we can say it is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. A kind of democracy where everyone is a benefactor with good quality of life is true democracy. It is a kind of democracy where the leaders and those who placed them in positions of authority have a fair share of the nation’s wealth and resources without complaint, and living together in joy and happiness.
    But, if as a leader you eat alone while the people are hungry and suffering, and you expect peace, joy and fulfillment; such a leadership that is deaf, dumb and blind to the plight of its people, is like a carton full of worms.
    It is a failed government that has let the people down. It is a government of themselves, for themselves, and by themselves, and not for the people, of the people and by the people. If you eat alone as a leader, you will die a lonely painful death on that day of reckoning without a name in history.
    One of such saddest example of the democracy in the UN, is that not too long ago, NATO were quick to react and enforce a no-fly zone in Libya, and help destroy President Col. Gaddafi, because they regarded him as a terrorist, and many world leaders did not like his face and arrogance. Yet, we know there are worse leaders than Gaddafi on earth who are highly honored today in society, far worse than terrorists.
    One of such example is the case of President Assad of Syria. The world refused to act in Syria, same way they did with Gaddafi in Libya. China and Russia were being blamed for stopping UN action in Syria. Even so, we know that there are many countries and people who condemn China and Russia, but down deep in their hearts, they are very happy to see the crises in Syria escalate to abominable proportion.
    They are enjoying the scenes of war in Syria, waiting patiently to take over the contracts for the reconstruction of all that were destroyed in the conflict. War or rebellion is big business to countries and multinational corporations.
    This is where billions and trillions of dollars are securely guaranteed in good business of reconstruction process. The more Syria is destroyed, the better for good business and construction firms who are like vultures waiting for the carcass in Syria. In this crises, there are vested interests with hidden agendas, and with everyone knowing that the days of President Assad is over in Syria.
    Here, we have the sycophants, the benefactors, and all those patiently in wait for the reconstruction process to begin. This is why some countries are in full support of the Free Syrian Army and sponsoring them with arms and ammunition so that since President Assad has fallen from grace to grass, the new role players will give them the contracts and business of the reconstruction process.
    They benefited in Iraq and Libya crude oil business and reconstruction process. This is the politics of selfishness and benefits in most human transactions in world conflicts, reconciliation and mediation. It is the same interest they have in Sudan.
    This is why China and Russia blocked any UN resolution for military action and intervention in the Syrian crises, because they too have much to gain and understood this politics of human transactions. This kind of injustice in life is a common phenomenon in human relations where the truth is kept in silence. There are two things about justice and injustice.
    One is the ability to know the truth and silence it, the other is the wisdom to live with injustice and accept it as a way of life. China and Russia understood these principles of injustice and unfairness in the UN, and in the world, because both nations are curators of injustice.
    I believe both countries are more honest in the UN, because they are tired of pretending to live in a world order that is in fact built on the foundation of hypocrisy.
    Both China and Russia do not like the word “freedom or democracy” because they practice the opposite in their society and decided to act against the UN using their veto power, knowing that nothing was fair or just in this wicked world. They are the kind of nations who believe that if people wish to fight and kill themselves, so shall it be.
    This is why the world is enjoying the pleasures of being entertained by the Syrian crises in the Aljazeera News, CNN, BBC, and all other media and cable news network; and we know that all our news media on earth are in love with destruction and death as a means of business and livelihood. The Syrian crises and wars were like live Hollywood movie magic. It creates live news coverage daily. Who is to blame? Syrians must blame themselves because they were not forced by anyone or any nation to fight themselves.
    The Syrian crises are of immense benefit to the media all over the world. It is a ready-made source of news feed. The more it lasts, the better for the press. In this case, the foolishness of war is of benefit to others who are wise enough to fuel the flame of war and keep Babylon or Assyria burning.
    This is why there is no good news anymore on earth in our news bulletins. Bad news is a commodity that sells faster, hotter and better than good news. Nobody is even interested in good news anymore, because there is not much good anymore in the face of the earth through poor and bad leaderships.
    As the press ignores good news and good people and chase after bad news and bad things in people’s lives to sell for profits to the media, people turn bad, society turn bad, leadership turn bad, religion turn bad, and everything in life instinctively turn bad for the bad of society.
    Afghanistan and Pakistan have turned bad in other to stay in the news. Good people such as Princess Diana and many other celebrities were sourced for the bad aspects in their lives and chased to death by the cameras of paparazzi.
    A religious group such as Moslem brotherhood in Egypt have become a political body like many others in search of leadership to be in the news, whereby destroying the institutions of freedom and democracy. The resultant effect was the overthrow of that democracy by military dictatorship doing worse evils to their people by the use of force. And from military dictatorship, the leadership moved to military democracy.
    Israel is threatening fire and brimstone in the name of self defense and brutalized the Gaza people of Palestine, while Iran and its allied are threatening to bring the world to an end with their nuclear ambitions. This kind of injustice and inequality in how the world behaves is what creates suicide bombers and terrorists.
    This is the injustice and inequality in the world that makes the world unjust, divided and unfair. So, the role of the media in the way life is here on earth is something that need media debate and redress in how best the media can help make the world a better place to live. This is because, the damage they are doing to humanity in fanning the ambers of all our current problems and conflicts on earth, is something that calls for total reforms.
    The UN was quick to enforce a no-fly zone in Libya, but could not do the same thing in Syria to save human lives. All these and the problems of the earth is what create acts of terrorism which we as humans have created for our children knowingly or in ignorance.
    This kind of injustice and unfairness in the UN and all over the world are the powers of limitations in freedom and democracy that is biased, ambiguous, and built on lies and deceit.
    Knowingly or unknowingly, we allow innocent children, babies, and mothers to die through decisions we make as world leaders, without regards to the innocent souls caught in the cross fires that claim their lives. This makes us as leaders either by commission or by omission, guilty or not guilty, murderers of children and babies, and murderers of women.
    What have we done as leaders with justice in the lives of all the innocent souls who are victims of all human exploitation and wars which we created in our human wants and needs?
    It is so sad to see people clapping and cheering at murderers, warlords and war- mongers, simply because they are world leaders. As clappers, we the people act as hypocrites who clap in fear for those we see to be above us. We are clapping in fear of death.
    We clap for them because we want them to see us clapping, and the more we clap and cheer them up, the more they grow wings and take the world for a ride, me and you. So, who is fooling whom? It is like clapping for someone who does not know or care whether you exist, or whether you lived or died.
    One bad thing about human nature is that everyone knows the truth, what is right or wrong; but we are all keeping quiet because of the powers of interest groups, what some have to gain or lose in any process or dialogue.
    This kind of selfish interest is what shapes our mentalities in taking action to do things that are either morally just or unjust, and ignore things we know are very wrong in human lives, remain silent and let injustice prevail.
    We all know that man has good plans with paper work, and evil intentions in dealings. Most people use and abuse the good plans in punishment of others. As men, we have never been truly just or righteousness in our thoughts, words, and in our deeds. We all know in our hearts that true justice have never been free and fair in the lives of most people on earth.
    It has always been a smokescreen to satisfy our human desires, wants and needs, and what people wish in the lives of other people. It has always played the role of power tussle, oppression and repression, as well as victimization. It is used as a means of satisfaction of personal ego or revenge.
    Democracy, authoritarianism, freedom, and justice are nothing but terms and conditions, which have never been a product of fair play or gratification; hence the world is in great turmoil today, full of civil disturbance and death.
    This is because the path we have chosen in life to follow is that of evil, far from the path of righteousness. The path we have chosen is what defines the crises we are all having all over the world. It is what defines the character of society and what we are as a people. The problems or nature of a society or a nation, defines the character of the people in that society or nation.
    Africa is what it is today because of what they are as a people. If a child is very loving and good, the society will say “He is our son”. But if a child is wicked and bad in society, the society will say “He is the son this …and …that”.
    They will identify the bad son as the son of John or the daughter of James. No one wish to accept being related to the bad son. The society will disown that son. That is exactly how it is with government and leadership. It is the choice of a leader to be a good son or a bad daughter, or the other way round.
    Even so, we are not in position to judge anyone, but to encourage everyone by show of love both as leaders and as a people. A society without love cannot provide good and wise leaders in society. A leader without love in his or her heart cannot love the society, and cannot be loved, and there is no way of reciprocating love between a bad society and its bad leadership.
    Only a good leader with great wisdom and love can show the people love, teach the people how to love, and lead the people to the part of togetherness and love. It takes a great leader like Nelson Mandela to change bad to good. Only a wise and good leader can. You too can do it, if you wish to do it. “Yes, You Can!’.
    In a situation where man is the judge of man which is necessary in human relations, law and order, and man is the leader and ruler of man in making decisions and creating white paper laws and rules as resolutions and agreements for the rule of law and service delivery; it is agreeable therefore that whatever agreements are made in crises resolutions, accepted and agreed to by both parties, someone out there must play the fool and accept defeat in other to reach an agreement, or for the rule of law to take place. There is always a victim in every human transaction in life.
    These laws, rules, regulations, resolutions and agreements often turn around to further hunt us and compound the problems of man, because the Wisdom of Solomon was not applied in good faith in resolving the issues and problems that confront us as a people. When, goodwill turns ill, there are no moral justifications for certain actions or agreements which breeds sorrow tears and blood.
    The pain of accepting certain rules and agreements in other to find lasting peace and progress, knowing that such agreements in truth were not reached in fairness, in truth, and in justice; any reconciliation effort reached in such a negative situation or accepted under duress without much choice, is sure to remain as injustice in the hearts of men. It is sure to boomerang or bounce back.”

    Muhammad commanded murder and terrorism for Islam, –
    Koran,9:5, 6, “When the sacred months are over slay the non-Muslims wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them”, described as “one of those whom I have ordered you to kill,”…. Once the sacred months ended it was open season on the non-Muslims. They were going to be attacked, hounded, ambushed, captured, terrorized, and murdered by the Muslims.
    Muslim terrorists today do what this verse commands.
