Dear Sir,
The terrorist carnage continues unabated in many parts of the world. Words fail to describe the horror of such mindless slaughter. Those who perpetrate it, whoever they are, personify the embodiment of evil and sheer cowardice. The mindless slaughter of men, women and children is an affront to humanity.
Muslims must unite and squelch those charlatans who proclaim their “virtues” as they get involved in terror activities. No religion approves massacres and extremism.
Terrorism is a sickness of the mind. It is related to no particular religion. In fact, terrorism is in no way related to the world’s great religions. Our tormented world is fraught with bereavement and pain caused by unbridled violence.
Mankind has been inflicted with the bitter taste of terrorism since time immemorial. It has different hues and aspects varying the impact and interpretations, according to different places.
Terrorism is the antithesis of shared values and commitments which serve as the basis for peaceful co-existence internationally.
We cry, but let us never fear embracing the values we know to be true.
At the same time, it is estimated that there are 388 violent conflicts raging across the world today, claiming the lives of millions of innocent civilians who have no direct role in them.
No longer able to bear so many abominations, so many horrors, mankind is pleading desperately for peace in our lifetime. We are being held captive by groups of warmongers and terror groups, soiled with dreams of global conquest. Are we all mere pawns in a titanic struggle for global supremacy?

Commendable measures
Dear Sir,
The recent affirmation of consumer protection rights by the Ministry of Economy and Commerce is commendable. The latest measures will help consumers who buy defective products and seek to return them.
I feel that campaigns should be held among blue-collar workers to increase their awareness of consumer rights. Many of them have little or no knowledge of their rights.
