Instant Martyrdom!From a Sinner to a Saint!

There’s a new breed of consultants and head hunters called “crisis counselors” fuelling a new industry vertical. Life is a war, Doctors fight disease, Lawyers fight injustice, and Crisis counselors fight to alleviate human misery! When you are depressed at night, thinking of your economic plight, wars, unemployment, jobs, savings, social security retirement funds and when life becomes too difficult to go on … just call the “Suicide Hotline” and the call will be routed to a call centre in Pakistan or Afghanistan. They will be eager and excited to help, their job is to extend support to the depressed, and the only qualification you may require is the ability to drive a truck real fast.
These N.G.O’s are the new “growth industry”, religiously motivated terrorism seems to be the latest fad. The last decade has witnessed 188 Kamikaze type attacks, mostly motivated by religion. These bombings are a sort of “deadly rites of passage” used by political puppeteers in religious garb to manipulate vulnerable youth. These youth need not put their “heart” and “soul” into their new vocation, as their employer already owns them. Isn’t it a paradox that religion which is supposed to teach you compassion and being merciful to mankind, has a dark side where the sinister blind faith of religion subverts the very essence and tenets of the scriptures?
Using religion to transform a political struggle into a divine mission with moral legitimacy and eternal rewards of martyrdom is the ultimate hype. The brain washed youths, are used as cannon fodder deemed as worthy of self sacrifice, and acting in God like fashion these men take upon themselves the authority to terminate the lease of life on these young unsuspecting souls in the pretext of everlasting salvation. What are the famous last words these youth tell their parents, regarding their job status and prospects, before embarking on their mission?” “I will buy you a house and dress you in mourning”??
