There is no need to make moral excuses for terrorism

The biggest feature of this film is its realism. Although some details and plots are slightly different from real events, they cannot hide the strong realism style of the whole story. If you look at the director from Australia and the filming team from the United States, you will understand that a typical Hollywood style blockbuster can be compared with classics such as "Hotel Rwanda".

After reading it, many people will have some doubts, why only 10 young people armed with automatic light weapons can cause such large casualties. Are terrorists too powerful? Are they all super special forces?

The answer is NO. These 10 terrorists are just ordinary peasant families from Pakistan-administered Kashmir, who received more than a year of training in the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, and then came to Mumbai to carry out terrorist attacks. In terms of tactical level, it may not be as good as ordinary soldiers in general conflict areas. But being able to cause such a large number of casualties shows that they were very selective in their choice of target locations.

First of all, Mumbai is the second largest city in India. It is densely populated everywhere, and casual attacks can easily cause a large number of casualties. Secondly, Mumbai is close to the sea, and India's coastal defense is useless. There is no need to worry about the risk of passing through the inland areas with weapons and medicine. Third, Mumbai is far away from the disputed area between India and Pakistan, and the public generally lacks awareness of prevention. In addition, India's elite anti-terrorist troops are basically deployed near the capital New Delhi and near the front line in the disputed area between India and Pakistan. The ordinary police in Mumbai are extremely poorly equipped, with few guns, and they are still rifles during World War II. Finally, Mumbai is the financial center of India, with a lot of foreign tourists, and the attack can attract the attention of the world.

Therefore, choosing Mumbai to attack was carefully planned by the terrorists. 10 terrorists, basically each with a submachine gun or AK automatic rifle, each with a military pistol, and each with a number of grenades. Compared with the absolute superior firepower of ordinary people and the police, the result is 195 deaths and 295 injuries. On average, each terrorist caused nearly 20 deaths and 30 injuries.

Look at the Kunming Railway Station incident in 2014: 8 terrorists, armed with long knives from the Western Regions, caused 31 deaths and 141 injuries. On average, each terrorist killed nearly 4 people and injured 18 others.

There is no comparison between hot and cold weapons, but it also shows the serious casualties caused by these so-called "firm-willed" terrorists. For these young people full of jihad, it is impossible to dispel their deep-rooted ideas through education and persuasion.

The most effective way is to directly destroy them physically, and eliminate their hope of benefiting from terrorist acts, and not give them the opportunity to harm ordinary people. Instead of wasting time, like some "bricks" do, to get to the bottom of what makes them terrorists.

The terrorists in "Hotel Mumbai" are not completely hopeless. They also hope that their actions will help their families get money and live a better life. If they knew before they died, their families would probably die tragically because of their actions. , then will they go to work to carry out terrorist attacks? How many people would be willing to follow in their footsteps?

Holy bitches will condemn Israel's targeted killings and collective punishment, and they will condemn the US and Russia's pre-emptive actions, just because their relatives are temporarily absent from the list of innocent victims of the terrorist attack, that's all.
