It’s about time we face the fact that terrorists have no nationalities. They must be treated as enemy combatants in every country. Terrorists should not be protected simply because they carry a passport of that particular country.

Those who perpetrate terror acts are not maladjusted criminals. They are not like the child rapist of Delhi or spawn of rich politicians who mow down people on the roads. Those are perverted crazies. Terrorists who plot, plan and execute mass murders think they are omnipotent because they are doing the work of God. These are people who throw bombs at law enforcement officers, who think nothing of placing explosives near women and children, who gloat at massacres they led and believe that they have brought glory to themselves and their religion. From Boston to Bangalore, these are individuals in a state of war with democratic societies.
