Question

Class: Ethics

Suppose two terrorist groups make similar attacks against similar targets: both destroy office buildings containing government and military offices, along with civilian offices, and both attacks kill government officials, military officers, and civilians. One attack is aimed at a brutal occupying regime that is carrying out mass murder, while the latter attack is aimed at an occupying regime following more humane practices. In your view, might the former attack be justified while the latter is wrong? Or must they be considered morally equal, because both involve the killing of innocents?

Answer 1

Both kinds of operations are wrong because both involve violence directed at innocent people.The terrorism or any other kind of killing cannot be possibly justified at any cost. This kind of a mindset is going to create a very bad society.Many people are killed, families are destroyed and life of little kids become miserable. They might end up growing without their parents and in poverty. Violence is not good for any kind of development and moreover, peace is disturbed.
