Are we failing in the fight against insecurity?

Just 6 days into the month of July, we have witnessed terror attacks in the Bangladesh capital, Dhaka on July 1 where twenty hostages, two policemen and six suspects were killed in the raid. Only one suspect was arrested. The criminals attacked a cafe, Holey Artisan bakery in a diplomatic neighborhood of Gulshan. The extremist outfit Islamic State (IS) has reportedly claimed responsibility.

Before the shock settled, Baghdad suffered the worst attack in 13 years where 200 people have already been confirmed dead and scores injured as rescue efforts continue. Iraq is largely attributed as the birthplace of IS, its spiritual leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi who was killed by an airstrike on June 8, 2006, in Iraq. 

On Tuesday saw yet another spate coordinated attacks across Saudi Arabia, as three bombs went off in Jeddah near the United States consulate. Security officers became suspicious of a man standing near a vehicle and when they moved in to investigate, he blew himself up but only injured the two officers. Saudi's interior ministry identified the attacker as Abdullah Waqar Khan, a Pakistani who has lived in Saudi Arabia for 12 years with his wife and parents. 

Another attack occurred in the City of Qatif which seemed intended for a Shia mosque in this majority Sunni nation. No one else was reported injured.

The final bombing was in Islam's second holiest City of Medinah near the Prophet's Mosque. The man blew himself up at a security check and killed four security guards and wounding five others. 

These attacks on the Prophet's mosque, also the location of the Prophet's grave, caused outrage within the Muslims world, as this unprecedented move continues to harm Muslims more. 

The Rio Olympics just 30 days away from today, the Euros semi-finals and finals are expected to have heightened security. Airports and other places within Kenya should also have their security enhanced as the regional outfit; Al-Shabaab seems to read from the same script as ISIS.  

June saw attacks in Orlando Florida at the gay club that claimed 49 lives by an American Muslim Omar Mateen, son of an Afghan immigrant. Another attack in Paris on June 13, Afghanistan on June 20, Jordan on 21st, Lebanon and Yemen both on 27th and the Istanbul Airport attack on June 28 marked a resurgence of terror activities during the fasting month of Ramadhan.  

It is time for the world to stop condemning Muslims as they suffer most and for the Muslims to be more proactive to eliminate this cancer once and for all.
