Terrorism is a threat that seeks to inflict itself upon democracy, freedom, and human dignity and demands a collaborative response.

In my Epoch Times column of Feb. 27, 2015, titled “Terrorism Concerns Accelerate: Protecting America,” I provide a straightforward definition of terrorism.

The article states that “terrorism is a contemptuous evil against life, justice, and charity as well as a cowardly assault against human rights, moral law, and the dignity of humankind.”

In a follow-up March 6, 2015, column titled “Understanding Islam Is Essential to Community Policing,“ I wrote, ”All who adhere to the great religions of the world understand that faith, hope, and charity are sacrosanct.”

Anyone who takes innocent human life in the name of religion commits the gravest sacrilege against faith.
