On October 31, 2014 Rotarians of Jurong Town, Singapore discussed the origin and motivation of international terrorism, as well as the means of combating this crime.
The speaker Prof. Rohan Gunaratna, Head of the International Center for Political Violence and Terrorism Research of the S. Rajaratnam School of Political Studies, described an alarming picture of the year-to-year increasing threats being brought by the terrorists and their masterminds.
Ambassador of Ukraine Pavlo Sultansky, who participated in the event, shared his views on situation with the Crimean Tatars - overwhelmingly moderate Muslim believers who live in the Crimea, temporarily occupied by Russia. Violent, criminal prosecution of this people by Moscow invaders and its puppet regime in the peninsula may push some of its representatives to extremist actions and make them seek for revenge as a mean of self-defense.
It was not once stressed on unacceptability for government officials to disregard the international law and to behave in such a way that would provoke intolerance by race, ethnicity, religion or any other grounds.
