Orlando Shooting Guides Amy Schumer to Cut Gun Scene from her Movie



June 12 was a black day for Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, the United States where more than fifty persons died in a mass shooting attack by a terrorist. The gunman was killed later by Orlando police after a 3-hour fight. Around 60 persons were injured during Orlando shooting. It has been reported as the most heinous attack by a single shooter and the deadliest incident of violence against LGTB community in United States history. It has also been reported as the severest terrorist attack in the United States post 9/11 attack in 2001.

Omar Mateen, 29, an American, born to Afghan parents is identified as the assailant. He was a regular visitor of the nightclub and is supposedly having links with ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) though CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) has not been able to find any links between Mateen and ISIL.

Amy Schumer, actress, and comedian has taken a lesson from this mass shooting incident and has revisited her already created latest film that is yet to be released. Schumer's new comedy project that is yet to be titled is based on a mother-and-daughter kidnapping in which she will be seen alongside Goldie Hawn of The First Wives Club fame.

Schumer, deeply shocked by the tragic shooting in Orlando in a homophobic mass attack has decided to cut a scene from the movie that involves gun firing at others by a person. The age-old debate is always there whether movies inspire criminals or real-life crime stories inspire movies. Though the details of the scene that is cut are not very much clear but definitely it is in line with the expectation by the whole world to curb violence and killing of innocent people all across the globe. Terrorism has been increasing like an unstoppable virus that needs to be curbed at the earliest.

Terror Data Debate About Government Requests for Data – Bill Gates

Terror Data Debate should start as per Bill Gates


The recent tussle between Apple and the FBI calls for a terror data debate – Bill Gates


There has to be set norms for terror data requests by the government, says Bill Gates

Norms need to be set for all telecom and other companies for providing terror data when requested by the government. A recent tussle between Apple and the FBI calls for a terror data debate says, Bill Gates. The FBI wanted access to the complete history data of a dead murderer’s phone from Apple. Apple refused to oblige the FBI. This should immediately be taken into account. A debate must start about any kind of government requests for such kind of data as opined by Bill Gates. The fight between the FBI and Apple is lingering on for last few days and has reached to an extent of knocking the doors of the court. FBI wanted Apple to unlock the iPhone owned by Syed Rizwan Farook. Farook killed more than a dozen of innocent people in December last year. Is Apple worried in losing business if they oblige the FBI with this terror data?

On one hand the FBI is seeking data related to Farook for investigation purposes. On the other hand, Apple has plainly refused to provide so saying the FBI order is risky and exceptional. Bill Gates in a discussion with the Financial Times stated that this is a particular case where the FBI is seeking data access. If they had asked for complete data of all customers, it could raise an objection. But for a specific case with a valid reason, Apple should not get into such kind of resisting mode. He further opined that the case is not different from government agencies seeking data from telecom and banking sector. In another interview held with BBC, Bill Gates said the issue has reached to an extent where a debate has become a necessity. The controversial point raised by Bill Gates is that on one hand government assures to protect citizens and on the other hand, in such critical conditions, the government wants this data to be exposed. He emphasized that the question is about the availability of such data to the government. Should agencies like the FBI stay blind or they should have all the rights to access data.

The US Department of Justice is also seeking relevant date from Apple in the context of around 15 different cases where investigations are stuck due to lack of data. It is important to settle this issue once for all. The terror data debate must take place as early as possible as demanded by Bill Gates.

Impact of Terrorism On Pakistan

26/11 is not reaching to any conclusions. The impact of terrorism on Pakistan is evident


Lashkar operations commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi is being protected by Islamabad high court


Is Pakistan government machinery a puppet in the hands of Lashkar?



Sometimes I wonder who is governing the country called Pakistan. Is it a faction of terrorists who command over the existing government and army? Is it the army that comprises of terrorists? Is government there is just for a namesake? Is government just a puppet in the hands of army shadowing terrorist factions? Who has the real power in Pakistan is really a point to ponder. The recent example is India giving ample evidence of the terrorist attack on 26/11 in Mumbai having Pakistan’s backing and support. Pakistan Court has rejected the plea for 26/11 voice samples. This is indeed a big setback for India. The terror trial in Pakistan is always influenced by terrorist factions. The court and government either stay mum over the issues or say what the terrorist factions want them to say. It is logically the voice of terror through the mouth of Pakistan courts and government.

The Islamabad high court has rejected a petition to the FDA (Federal Investigation Agency) to provide voice samples of suspects. The suspects, as we know, include Lashkar commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi. Point to note is FDA is Pakistan government’s official investigation agency. They want to probe the case and match the voice with the intercepts provided to them by the Indian government. How the interests of two prime government agencies differ in a country? If FDA is seeking support from the court to nail down the culprits what interest court has to safeguard terrorists. One thing is evidently clear for the whole world to understand – the court is very much clear that the intercepts provided by the Indian government will definitely match the voice samples that they are seeking permission for from the court.

Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi is the name of fear in Pakistan. He is a symbol of supreme power there. He is the real ruler. Every government machinery, it means, works under him. Every law there in Pakistan is bowed in front of Lakhvi. The prime responsibility of Pakistan government, court and army are to safeguard Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi leaving aside the risks and threats it imparts to the whole world. Why the protectors of terrorists should not be called as a terrorist rather than government and court. Is truth, humanity and reality totally succumbed in that country? The good has succumbed to the bad, that means.

What is the next step for FDA in Pakistan? They should not surrender to the Islamabad high court. They should now tap the doors of the supreme court. They should seek help from the government and army. Let everything open out and be clearly visible to the whole world. What next for India? They should tap the whole world for support to pressurize Pakistan to provide the voice samples of seven suspects including that of Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the supreme operating commander of Lashkar. The impact of terrorism on Pakistan is quite visible.

French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira Resigns With Wrong Music


French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira resigned this morning




Taubira says the new law will divide French in two parts




How Justice Minister of a country can go soft against terrorism?





French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira’s resignation was announced by President Francois Hollande this morning. The grim situation had worsened for Christiane Taubira, a leftist hardliner, since the November terrorist attack. The president Francois Hollande is quite serious to shred terrorism off from the roots and make France as a safer place to live. He had already announced a new law to be brought in place which will play hard against terrorist activities. The new terror policy that was to be passed during the upcoming session was passing through some controversial debates. How is it that the president of the country wants a strict action against the brutal killers of humanity and the justice minister of the same country has a soft corner for it? Christiane Taubira was not able to digest the new law, soon to be in place, that says if a person caught is engaged in terrorist activities will be stripped of his or her French citizenship. This will be in case the person has a dual citizenship. Can we say French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira resigned with wrong music?

What made Christiane Taubira to go against this law. She had another angle to it. She felt this will divide the whole country in two parts. One, as pure French citizens and other as with dual citizenship. She felt the people having dual citizenship will come under scrutiny and risk. This is probably not the case. The president Francois Hollande is quite clear that the people having purely French citizenship will never get engaged in terrorist activites. It is the people who belong to other countries and have taken French citizenship would be the miscreants. And the action will be taken against anyone when he or she is caught in such activities with ample proof. This, in any case, is the demand of time and situation to taken a stern action against people convicted of terrorism. And why France, the same is required anywhere in the world.

Jean-Jacques Urvoas has replaced Chritiane Taubira with immediate effect. Jean-Jacques Urvoas supports the thought process expressed by the president. Francois Hollande is just back from India after his 3-day visit there. He was the guest of honor for the annual Republic Day Parade 2016 that held in New Delhi. Both the countries chiefs – French President Francois Hollande and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi felt a strong need for a collaborative approach while fighting against terrorism. Francois Hollande is bvery much in favour of tightening the strings and evolving strict security measures. Taubira has struck the wrong musical notes. Both the countries chiefs – French President Francois Hollande and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi felt a strong need for a collaborative approach while fighting against terrorism.

Taubira is the person who was quite enthusiastic introducing same-sex marriage law in France in 2013. In 2015, we have witnessed two severe terrorist attacks in France. The first one happened at the beginning of the year, in January. The other happened in November.

Charlie Hebdo To Terrorists: If You Have Weapons We Have Champagne #BloggingForPeace

Guts and grits have no end. IT takes a lot to speak out boldly against the barbaric acts done by ISIS terrorists in France recently. 6 attacks at different locations in Paris on the same day, around the same time, took 129 lives. The major toll took place at the concert hall. This is something really disheartening to attack a concert place where it is all music, music performers and music lovers. It is said that music is too close to God. But where is the God?

Satirical Magazine Charlie Hebdo having their office in Paris. The office was attacked in January this year killing 12 journalists and cartoonists. The daring staff of this magazine has its own style to show courage and resistance against WRONG. This first release of this weekly after the recent attack in Paris has a courageous cover page, challenging. The cover shows a man drinking and there a slogan around saying:


Instead of pinpointing any religion, it totally focuses on the life. Joann Star, one of the chief cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo says:



I would salute this daring courage from few of the best artists in the world who could speak out fearlessly and announce to the darker side of the world that if they keep daring to use weapons against the innocents, we at this end living with a hope of terror-free world one day, will never shred our faith in life. Music, Kisses, Life, Champagne and Joy will always be an integral part of our life. Salute to the world of music and joy, the world of life, the world of spirit and courage. And pray that soon the wrong will change its path to right and all terrorists will move away from spreading terror. Let all terrorists move from the path of death to the path of life, music and joy.

#BloggingForPeace Terrorism: Who is to blame?

It has nothing to do with religion or a community. Everyone cannot be blamed within a religion to be the culprit. Terror and horror are not liked by any religion or community. Terrorism is a heinous act as it goes totally against innocent lives. Terrorism is a heartless brutal activity in which even the young children, old people or females are spared. Terrorism is an unethical institute in which everything that is taught is against humanity and life.


It is not that France was not aware of this risk. Their air strikes over IS zones was sufficient enough to create anger in ISIS terrorist faction. The only thing that France never anticipated is that it will be too severe and all the anger will fall on the innocent people watching a concert in a concert center or in food zones. But then terrorists are known for their inhuman heartless disasters with no respect towards harmless, innocent people including small kids, women, and aged people.


Two facts here for this disaster are that the terrorists who did this act belong to Europe. That means there are a lot of activities happening even in the advanced countries in a flawless manner in which they are able to connect with the core senior guiding team living remotely like in Syria or somewhere else in the world. The intelligence teams of European countries is not able to crack this connect and the communications happening between them while planning these disasters. That is a drastic failure towards the intelligence teams. The second factor is that there are more than forty countries funding these terrorists to perform such kind of heinous acts.



France has been right in stating that it will not move away from its airstrikes against these terrorists. Rather France has clearly stated that these attacks will now be more severe and concrete in killing the culprits. Logically it is very clear to see that all those countries who are supporting these terrorist activities never came out in condemning this brutal incident that happened in France. Then there are leaders from certain countries who just mildly pay their condolence towards the dead and wounded but don’t spell out clearly and boldly that the whole world should unite in fighting against these terror forces.

#PeshawarAttack: Promise Me To Carry A 2 Minute Silence Everyday For 132 Days

All words are short for this heinous crime done by Taliban Terrorists shamelessly and on top of that justifying this massacre. These are not human beings. These are barbarians. These are heartless, mindless and brainless creatures who forget that once they have also been children in their life, who took  birth in the same manner as these kids and any other human being. But it is the human factor that is lost and stolen from these terrorists while transforming them from a human to a non-human.
Source: http://www.independent.co.uk: A day after the massacre

 The same nationality, same religion and still there is no emotion. Why couldn't even one of the terrorists could turn back on their leader who ordered them for this barbaric act to run a round of bullets in their body instead of doing it on these innocent children. Total 148 lives lost, out of which 132 children, and that too inside an Army School and the reason given by them is that Pakistan Army has killed their innocent children and families. That is the height of shamelessness. The message is clear for the whole world to unite against these terrorist communities who are definitely far less in the count and teach them a lesson, once for all.

Just a simple humble request from my side. Say a prayer every day for next 132 days and a 2 minutes silence for each of the innocent kid murdered.

Are you with me. If you read this post and just leave a comment... Children are God's gift.
