The most important question faced by humanity in the aftermath of 9/11 is whether we are afraid of freedom or want to preserve it for our future generations. All the terrorist attacks constitute a strike against freedom but at the same time are reflective of callous attitude of those who claim to be self-appointed guardians of free world, human rights, faith and freedom. The economic imbalances within a society and from global perspective, revival of religious movements (primarily a camouflage to manifest certain political aims) and imposition of will of the mighty on the weak have all given rise to what culminated in the shape of 9/11 in 2001 and events thereafter which have created worldwide turmoil and reign of fear.
Freedom of expression per se has been considered as a sufficient need to achieve a democratic society. The fallout of this appears to be a misconceived notion on the part of some individuals and groups that this freedom gives them licence to impose their own ideas on others using money, power and/or physical force. They are not only intolerant towards others' views but also suffer from the misconception that their ideas are the only truth through which the world can be changed into a better place. The terrorists think their way of thinking is the correct version of life and that they know the path towards attainment of the ultimate truth.
