Terrorism in Pakistan
Terrorism in Pakistan has affected many lives, families, societies, states, countries, and the world. Innocent lives have been taken away from God's world because terrorists are trying to make a point to specific societies. These points are mainly political, but result in death of many lives from the act of violence. Pakistani terrorism has occurred internationally and nationally. Catholics do not agree with these acts of terrorism because they result in the death of people. Catholics also believe that there is another way to settle international disputes over politics. Terrorism can be stopped, if and only if people, governments, and societies take action into making peace in our world.
Terrorism has a tremendous impact on society. It is a rational act of violence and its purpose is to change behavior in a specific society.

...do believe that terrorism in Pakistan can be put to an end, obviously resulting in the stop of the acts of terrorism that the Pakistanis take action in. These acts of terrorism result in the death of people, in which the church does not at all accept and neither do I. With a huge impact on society, terrorism is one of the most important moral issues because of what has caused it and the effects of those causes. Terrorism is an act that meant to achieve a goal. For Americans, 9/11 did not achieve a goal, but to al-Qaeda (and possibly other terrorists groups) it did achieve a goal. Those goals must not be for the common good because they mainly result in the death of many lives. Terrorism in Pakistan affects or has affected the whole world in some way, and putting an end to this issue could result in a more peaceful way of living and more peaceful political disputes.

Egyptian MP Ragab Hilal Hamida, from the Muslim Brotherhood says: I specifically wanted to explain that [the term] ‘terrorism’ is not a curse when given its true meaning.
