"Lesson that city bombers need to learn"

A write-up under such caption had been published in your daily by Liaqaut Ali Khan. The very language of this article has flummoxed and astounded me to the fullest. Mr. Khan's theory of morality is vague, nondescript and divorced from reality. Theory of motion, propounded by Newton connotes an automated opposite reaction. It is an osmotic, but equal ricochet-- no more, no less. But, terrorism is not an automatic reaction; rather it is a budding mental metamorphosis that develops into a putative sentimentality that crosses the rubicon. In the case of Newton's Law of Motion, there is no change of force or the reversing destination is not manifold, rather it is certain and direction is pre-determined.

Mr. Khan says, Osama-bin-Laden rewrote the theory of motion in his own way, " If you bomb our cities, we will do the same to you". Seemingly anodyne quip, but realistically an unschooled remark. Theory of motion exudes a persistent reality that after being applied, force must turn back to the origin with same velocity. But what Osama-bin-Laden externalises is a sheer vendetta, which can never ever be justified or accepted by any rational order.

Morality is not a science. It is an edified layer of mind that compels human beings to keep aloof from absurdity, violence, terrorism or wildness. Unfortunately, Mr, Khan has clothed morality with a materialistic observation and equalised both morality and morality of violence in the same line. It is very offensive, imprudent and egregious.
