Readers Write: Vigilance required by all of us to combat terrorism

The Island Now

Brussels airport was struck with bombs by terrorist on Tuesday, and another sad day for humanity. 

This attack in Brussels, Belgium is a nefarious and egregious acts by cowards, that I find most appalling.

These evil doers are aggressively pursing these acts against humanity for radical ideas that have no place in our world.

Innocent men, women and children are dying for no reason by these radical Muslims and must be stopped and eradicated.

The entire world must stand up to this evil. 

As President Obama said while in Cuba, “ We must be together regardless of nationality or race or faith fighting the scourge of terrorism.” 

Also Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu weighed in and said,” The only way to defeat these terrorists is to join together and fight them together.”

He further went on to say,” The chain of attacks from Paris to San Bernardino to Istanbul to Ivory Coast and now Brussels, and the daily attacks in Israel-this is one continuous assault on all of us.” 

I whole heartily agree with both leaders for united we stand divided we fall. In closing my heartfelt prayers go out to the nation and people of Brussels, Belgium, and all those that travel through their country that were killed and injured. 

It is for this reason our nation must remain always on the alert. For if we see something we must say something.

We the people are the eyes and ears of the nation that aids our police, FBI, and counter intelligence in protecting all of us.
