Cruelity and Children are not Synonyms!!!

"There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children", said Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa.

The recent attack in the school at Peshawar, was really monstrous.

16 December 2014 will always remain a black day in the history of the world and especially for Pakistan. On this fateful day, seven members of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan or Pakistani Taliban, entered the premises of the Army Public School, in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, disguised in uniforms of the Pakistani paramilitary force and opened fire. Bullets kept getting shot in every direction. Teachers and students, nobody was spared. They fired bullets at the young children, mercilessly. The cries and pleading of the kids were simply ignored by them. Teachers, including the Principal of the school were burnt alive before these kids. A total number of 145 people, including 132 schoolchildren lost their lives in this gruesome attack and several others injured. Students aged between eight and eighteen were prey to these wicked men. 

How could anyone ever think of hurting young and innocent children? These young children went to school with so many dreams, dreams of becoming doctors, engineers, teachers, architects and so on. But what did they end up becoming? Mere dead bodies lying on the school premises, lifelessly? This was not what they or their family had dreamt of. Then who were these seven men who decided the future of these young souls? Who permitted them to do so? These men, part of the Pakistani Taliban, claim to have been fighting in the name of religion and God. So then, did God almighty give them the right to take the lives of these children?

"Terrorism has no nationality or religion", said Vladimir Putin. And what are these men fighting for? What are they trying to prove? Attack kids and they wont fight back? Was that their goal? 

They praise God and say that they are doing this for the almighty. When and where did God ever mention that killing the innocent or for that matter, killing anybody is the answer to everything or is a mighty thing to do?

Who will put a full stop to this? When will this ever end? Or will it ever end? Will it only end when there is no man left on the earth to be killed? Lastly, will these questions ever be answered?
