 Some incidents shake me so hard that I lose context of  writing an article or do anything. I feel stunned by the incident happened on 22-may-2017. A sleepless night of MANCHASTER of people, a Suicide bomber killed 22 at Ariana Grande concert. Where thousands of children’s and young people attending the event. It’s intended to target youth of U.K. It’s shocks every time when this cruel attack happens. But the people of Manchester are proving an amazing show of strength and solidarity amid these terrible events, coming together via social media to offer help and assistance for those caught up in the attack.

Comments – 

James corden said- My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Manchester tonight, all of the staff of the MEN arena, all of the security teams, all of the emergency services, Ariana and her team, and all of those families affected by tonight. We’ll all go to bed, holding our little ones even tighter this evening .

Bishop of manchaster said- in the end love is always stronger than hate. 

Why attack happens in Manchester arena- 

The attack is taken revenge by targeting youngest people of our society with very cold calculation.

ISIS is celebrating the bomb blast happens in Manchester city.

As ISIS has taken responsibility of the incident happens in Manchester 

Detectives are probing a “network” linked to the Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi police have confirmed, as his father and brother were detained in Libya.

Prime Minister Theresa May has raised the UK threat level to the highest possible rating, meaning another terrorist atrocity is expected imminently. Almost 3800 troops have been deployed to key locations.

In conspiracy abedi father and Abedi’s younger brother Hashem has also reportedly been arrested in Tripoli, Libya, on suspicion of having links to the Islamic State group that claimed responsibility for the Manchester Arena attack on Monday. 

What is UK threat level –

Something about Salman abedi 

Abedi was educated locally in south Manchester and studied business at Salford University – but dropped out before completing his degree. He is thought to have attended the Manchester Islamic Centre, also known as Didsbury Mosque, along with his parents and siblings.

A family friend, described him as “normal” and said the family were known to the Libyan community in the city.  

Connection with terrorism- 

Home Secretary Amber Rudd said Abedi was known to the intelligence services “up to a point”.

On Wednesday, BBC News reported that members of the public blew the whistle on Abedi several years ago by reporting him to the anti-terrorism hotline.

An unnamed Muslim community worker told the broadcaster that two people who knew Abedi at college tipped off officers after he made statements “supporting terrorism” and expressing the view that “being a suicide bomber was OK”. The calls are thought to have been made five years ago, after Abedi left school, the community worker added.

–The basic question is What do terrorists want? How is a person “radicalized”, & how do we deadlock “extremist” -— only confirms how little we conclude. 

Shooting in school is different, people can clutch the intuition and consider potential reasons of doing something (motivators) such as bullying or insufficient mental health treatment. We restrict/control these attacks by restricted access to guns and schools security. We can stop shooting in the school. 

What is going inside shooters mind- that people are easily broken and sometimes they are breakable for the reason which is also clear to them . This is low–slung idea about about there ideology or religious belief leads towards becomes suicide bombers. Sometimes a group like ISIS or others radicalized groups want to use suicide bombers then they architect ideology to justify and encourage them. But still there is no clear psychological or social criteria by which normal person ideology change to become suicide bombers. 

In 2003 university of Chicago political scientists ROBERT A PAPE argued in his paper What 95 percent of all suicide attacks have in common, since 1980, is not religion, but a specific strategic motivation to respond to a military intervention, often specifically a military occupation, of territory that the terrorists view as their homeland or prize greatly. From Lebanon and the West Bank in the 80s and 90s, to Iraq and Afghanistan, and up through the Paris suicide attacks we’ve just experienced in the last days, military intervention—and specifically when the military intervention is occupying territory—that’s what prompts suicide terrorism more than anything else.

Terrorist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda are widely seen as being motivated by their radical theology. But according to Robert Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago and founder of the Chicago Project on Security and Terrorism, this view is too simplistic. Pape knows his subject; he and his colleagues have studied every suicide attack in the world since 1980, evaluating over 4,600 in all.

He says that religious fervor is not a motive unto itself. Rather, it serves as a tool for recruitment and a potent means of getting people to overcome their fear of death and natural aversion to killing innocents. “Very often, suicide attackers realize they have instincts for self-preservation that they have to overcome,” and religious beliefs are often part of that process, said Pape in an appearance on  radio show, Politics and Reality Radio, last week. But, Pape adds, there have been “many hundreds of secular suicide attackers,” which suggests that radical theology alone doesn’t explain terrorist attacks. From 1980 until about 2003, the “world leader” in suicide attacks was the Tamil Tigers, a secular Marxist nationalist group in Sri Lanka.

ISIS can be reduced to “a religious group with carefully considered beliefs.

” It’s a group whose public expressions of religious motives to serve its secular objectives of controlling resources (oil, opium)  and territory. Virtually all of the group’s leaders were once high-ranking officers in Iraq’s secular military.

For  ISIS terrorism is a marketing tool for recruiting or raise money. It has own banks, print their own currency. 

As University of Michigan historian Juan Cole put it after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, “The problem for a terrorist group like Al Qaeda is that its recruitment pool is Muslims, but most Muslims are not interested in terrorism. Most Muslims are not even interested in politics, much less political Islam.

ISIS is now desperate, and is shifting its pattern of behavior. In October, ISIS launched only eight suicide attacks in Iraq and Syria, when they normally do 30 to 35 per month, and that’s the same month that they shifted to suicide attacks in Ankara, Turkey, on October 10. Then they downed the Russian plane on October 31st, and now the Paris attacks on November 13th. As ISIS’ territory has shrunk in Iraq and Syria, it is now clearly shifting its suicide attack resources out of Iraq and Syria, and into Turkey, into killing Russian civilians, and now also into Paris. 

Towards moving to end I will not write about how this attack happens, every knows already. But point is why this attack happens. This is not based on religious faith or belief. As I studied articles of max fisher, Robert a pape . 

I m still not much clear what going inside in the minds of whether they are shooters or suicide bombers. 

Whether attackers  their either their acts are their own or central mean support by others, the motives is to get some attention and seek to encourage backlash. 

But they are unable because attack at Manchester city people are more united than earlier, they applauding diversity. As reply by ariana grande-

The most terrifying moment is suicide terrorism has absence of meaning. Victims want to understand reality and try to express their pain.
