Trying to eliminate terrorists is only a small part in the fight against terrorism. For even if all the existing terrorists are eliminaged-which may not be possible- new terrorists may come up. So it is also important to check the causes which breed terrorism and eliminate the causes. Some of the causes appear to be the wrong interpretation of the scriptures which the terrorists believe. imaginary grievances and hopes of awards while in life or death. Obviously no religion would be the source for terrorism. It is therefore necessary to gather the staunch believers in religions and make them give the correct interpretation of the scriptures.Whenever destruction of people and property are caused on account of conviction of people about the correctness of their actions, religious leaders should come forward and explain the mistake. This will deter atleast a few people from undertaking terrorist activities
