"Our rage towards what transpired in Brussels today should not get
the best of us. Reactions towards these horrendous terrorist attacks
should undergo serious reflection and should be measured accordingly.
When one confronts such problems with revenge or anger, he or she
becomes responsible for perpetuating the cycle of violence that
eventually comes back to bite, almost reflexively.
We all make up humanity and we have to stand together at this time instead of getting absorbed into the quicksand of our tribal instincts.
We have to question, understand and identify the reasons for these
horrendous atrocities – and articulate them to find long terms
solutions. Resorting to industrialized military action, which has
claimed the lives of millions globally, has only fostered terrorism
instead of combating it as studies have revealed. Terrorism has only
grown exponentially since our military response after 9/11.
acTVism condemns the cowardly acts of the terrorists in Brussels. We
also condemn governments that have actively sponsored (directly or
indirectly) terrorism in the Middle East."
