THE TERRORIST IS SHADOW ENEMY HIDDEN OUT IN THE MAJOR POPULATION

Forward: In Vietnam War, the writer served in Army of Republic ( ARVN). I fought against Vietcong’s terror into the military, psychological warfare, and intelligence battles.

I would like to contribute my experience about anti-terrorist in the Muslim countries and somewhere else. Someone are the strategists, academics and politicians promote themselves as the expert anti-terrorist, indeed, they just show off the theory. Therefore, the theory without real experience that is like a lesson without practice.

 

In Vietnam War, Vietcong hid out into the major population and the religions, universities… so the Security and intelligence agencies of South Vietnam’s government dealt the difficulty because Vietcong was the early terrorists were the shadow enemies, they hid into the villages, Buddha Temples, and Catholic Churches.

Vietcong carried out the terror mission’s tactics were: human shield (children and women were the implements), actually, the religious shield. After Vietcong claimed the unpredictable victory on April 30, 1975, almost the Vietcong’s stronghold villages as Mỹ Lai appeared the Vietcong undercover activists, Ấn Quang Temple appeared the Vietcong’s monks as Senior Venerable Thích Trí Quang, Thích Thiện Minh, Thích Nhất Hạnh (France), Thích Hộ Giác (later he migrated in the US and died at Houston, Texas), Thích Minh Châu ( head of Vạn Hạnh University at Saigon)…Catholic had Priest Chân Tín, Nguyễn Ngọc Lan, Phan Khắc Từ…. During the war, the Vietcong accused government and allies killed the civilians including children and women as Mỹ Lai, indeed, they were Vietcong’s terrorists. The Vietcong monks and Priests accused government didn’t respect and violated the religious freedom. The lying accusations unmasked after Saigon lost, it is too later when the Vietcong’s terror organization rules the government and they have the representatives in United Nations. The left media and Vietcong supporters, actually the prominent as Jane Fonda, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Bill-Hillary Clinton and the others are shameless, they have never confessed the truth and shown the remorse. Nowadays, the Vietnam lesson has repeated in the terror war, actually, the Muslim countries have been faced same Vietnam’s situation.

In the Western countries, the extremists often use the minor Muslim communities and the mosques for the hated propaganda, the psychological warfare conducts the terrorism and the bigot’s action. The police, intelligence agencies could eye on the minor ethnic and the religious firms. Therefore, the Muslim countries have been engaged the difficulty while the terrorists are the shadow enemies as the peasant, civilians in Vietnam War. The security agencies couldn’t recognize who are the terrorists. However, the government just knew after the terrorist raided and the bloodshed occurred.

The Muslim countries have been attacked by the terrorist, the bloodsheds appeared in Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, Syria…even Indonesia, the largest Muslim’s population were attacked many times by terrorist as Bali bombs (twice), in May, the terrorist used their own children, almost the teenagers for the suicide mission. Not of all Muslim are the terrorists, but every Muslim could be a terrorist, the hated propaganda that carries out the psychological warfare motivates the terrorism. Obviously, the Muslim countries are the victim of terrorism, the people have been terrorized by their adherent. The radical of terrorism comes from the extremist clerics, the religious leaders could excite the terrorism and encourage the terrorists.

Indonesia’s situation is the lesson for the Muslim countries, the government didn’t act properly the terrorist, actually, the mastermind as Cleric Abu Bakir Bashir who is the cult leader of Jemaah Islamiah, Bali bomb on October 12, 2002, killed 202 people (88 Australian, 38 Indonesian and more than 20 citizens of the other countries). Cleric Abu Bakir Bashir was the ideological leader, but the Indonesian government didn’t act strongly as the terrorist.

The extremist exploits the religious shield’s tactic for a hideout and using the religion to propagate the hated propaganda. The Western and Muslim countries may set up the intelligence network throughout the suspicious community, actually, the religious cults. The people inform’s cells are the potential spy network and the education could reduce the terrorism and terrorist. Nowadays, the Muslim countries have faced the situation as the Vietnam war, the terrorist hides everywhere and they could attack anytime ./.
