Ideology of Peace
AN INTERNATIONAL PEACE CENTRE
~ 169 ~
wide range of modern communications, it will
propagate the culture of peace at the universal level.
It will eradicate the mentality which dictates that
violence must be countered with violence, and will
highlight the importance of peace as opposed to
violence.
This international peace centre will be like a peace
factory where spiritual ‘bombs’ will be
manufactured. And these spiritual bombs will rain
peace all over the world in order that the global fire,
set alight by violence and terrorism, may be
extinguished.
The truth is that if it had been possible to put an
end to modern terrorism by the power of the gun or
the bomb, this would have already been done. The
actual issue here is not how to put an end to
modern terrorism by means of an armed struggle.
Armed force has already been used on a large scale,
yet the menace of terrorism has not been uprooted.
Therefore, there is no question of repeating this
futile exercise. Rather the question is that of
changing our strategy to counter terrorism in the
light of past experience.
