The Isis crisis

Globally terrorism is a major crisis that has lead to deaths relocation of thousands of innocents leading to various problems involving security, trust, refugees and political imbalance. The various acts of terrorism have pushed together various countries and at the same alienated various others. The biggest crisis is for the adherents of a particular religious belief that the terrorists also claim to represent. While it seems logical that any religion cannot promote acts of violence, the recent activities of Isis and allied outfits has created a feeling of distrust and alienation of millions of Muslims who even though are against Isis are treated as those belonging to the terrorist mentality. The identity crisis faced by many young Muslims is a serious issue. While on one hand it is turning many against the religion, various others are getting attracted by the jihadist outlook. While we can say that it is a result of wrong interpretation of religion and brainwashing of the youth, we cannot ignore the fact that the identity crisis is causing what is called the 'labeling theory' and is forcing the youth towards violence. The net result is that in both cases good people are being lost. It is a problem to be tackled at its roots. The current situation is not going to do any good for anyone. The world is reeling into its own collapse.
