Terrorist Attack in Germany (10/05/16)

There were a knife attack in a german train station. The knifeman killed a passenger and injured several others. He shouted ''Allahu Akbar'', which means ''God is great''.He finally was caught and he remains in custody.All Europe is frightened of future attacks.

The Federal Police announced that they were not enough equipped to face terrorism and it would be a ''suicide mission'' for officers to try straighten out these kind of attacks.



We, under the ethics and moral codes, think this is a horrible deed and these kind of acts are not acceptable in the century we live, so do others centuries. Terrorism is produced by a terroritory issue and in our opinion, it will never have an end. It has an unstoppable force that will just continue growing. We should make them aware they do not have to fight against everybody, that they should ask for their rights peaceably as it have been alwayas made.

We should take into account too that these kinds of fights have been won by struggling, suffering, battleing and only try by try, so is a paradox.



 As a conclusion, we should mention that if these kind of attacks continues, we should not be afraid of it: after a terrorist attack people do not go out of their houses, accepting that they show they are afraid of these attacks. We must stay together. We must stay brave. We must fight against injustice.

Genital mutilation

25th November, "the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women"; a little bit long title, don't you think? We're not going to talk about this because it is a problem that we are aware of at least or we should have to know. We're going to focus on "Genital mutilation" because not everybody knows about that.

In some less developed countries in Africa, the Midlle East and some others, this practice carry on practicing. It is thouth that origin is in Egypt although it can be a religion tradition such as Islam.

Genital mutilation can be male or female. We're not going to get into details but men can get castration or circuncision and women can get a female genital mutilation. Most of theme are traditions to go through infancy. 

We think that 25th November has to change that name and putting in place "the International Day against the violence" because there is violence everywhere inflicted either men, women, animals,..., and this is unbearable.
