Terror meets West

How do terrorists meet the freedom of the West?

Article One of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: 
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Certain members of a terrorist organisation can be persuaded to kill themselves and others in the name of the cause, and they tend to follow a certain profile...

• They mistake 'freedom to do what you like' for true freedom, have no understanding of levels and types of freedom, they are weak on 'reason and conscience'...
• Have more 'freedom' (to do what they like in the lowest sense) than they can handle;  the auto-destruction of alcohol abuse, drugs, unhealthy relationships of all kinds, lack of effective education/fulfulling employment crime, violent crime...
• And/or see in the West the people who can't handle it, (or can't at the moment) and people and organisations manifestly morally degraded, harming society and humanity, and judge the entire Western freedom culture on the basis of this.
• When they terrorise in a 'free' country,  they meet the opposite extreme, the price of abusing freedom;  condemnation, punishment, control, ejection, rejection.
• When they meet their extremist terrorist Muslim 'family', they meet a strong father, rules, structure, limits and respect.  They lack this structure, they are 'saved' from their damage and self-destruction.  At last they are 'freed' from their meaningless lives, have a sense of self-worth and a place in a family/society...a sense of brotherhood (and personal power, particularly if prepared to lay down their lives)   They feel in their guts, they live in their experience, how the Islamic Shariah can save, the others can be saved, and if they won't accept this, they must be forced.  The Infidel refuses salvation and will not therefore be saved...(and can and should be killed).  
• They perceive terrible suffering in the world and understand the West's part in this in history and today, from a particular perspective only.  Upon 'waking' to this immense suffering,  experiencing it as happening to their brothers,  they undergo terrible trauma.
• They perceive and understand that the West is attacking them as Muslims, and their saving law, the Shariah, and Mohammed himself, the most sacred prophet of the God Allah.
• They perceive themselves to be in a state of War, where the rules of war apply, some targets are 'fair game', the enemy, civilians may get killed, or in extreme cases, civilians of all sorts, as Infidel, are legitimate enemies to kill.
• They perceive themselves at war with the West, and with the freedom of the West

PHEW!
So what can we do?
In a free, or towards freedom society, state, or Western world, how to we begin to tackle this?

Firstly the suffering and war in the world IS a terrible trauma, it IS happening to our brothers and sisters, and we can be grateful that someone in the world at least is waking to it, facing it, feeling it and wants good for the world, rather than concentrating on the latest nail bar.

Secondly, and finally, we can work on ourselves.  Too many of us don't know what true freedom might be or how to work towards it, or why it's important, (even though we might be living something of it in our souls or society).  What would happen if each of us made an effort to work with the particular people and experiences which arrive at our doorstep each day, to respect humanity in its particular form, to recognise and transform suffering, to get in touch with and develop our own inner morality, to become more fully conscious of who we are, who we can be, who we choose to be?   I think this is what we are doing!  We have in the West enough freedom, each of us, to be able to tread our own highly individual path of personal evolution.  Terrorism can be used as a call to intensify this work on ourselves...which in turn is vital for all of us.

Too many of us are unable to handle the 'freedom' of the West, are on a path to auto-destruction and the destruction of others, can we help them?   What do we need to understand, to do, to surround and embrace these suffering individuals who make us suffer?

If we can't at least try, with all our might, do this for our own 'family', for the citizens of our own state how can we expect to handle the problems underlying the Islamic State?  If we meet the hate with hate, the war with war;  then we will have a world of hate and war, it's a simple logic.
