Article Review: Youth guilty of terror plot

This article is about a 23 year old US male, now known as Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, who sent videos of US landmarks abroad and plotting a terror attack in Europe. He may be sentenced up to 60 years in jail, together with his friend. His case will be heard October 15. Ehsanul Islam Sadequee even been to Canada to meet other militants, including the Al-Qaeda-inspired group. One of the evidence used against this young terrorist was that Sadequee sought to obtain a visa to relocate from Bangladesh to Sweden.

I feel that terrorist are unable to think for others. I also do not see a sensible reason and benefit the terrorist will obtain after causing chaos and fear to people. The terrorist just cause pain to others and want to make the world a worse place for living, which goes against the logic. Many terrorist also plan suicide attacks. Not only do they not benefit the world, they even have to pay with their lives.

When terrorist carry out their attacks, they are also unable to make their lives better as they have to hide for the rest of their lives as they will be constantly chased by the police. The 23 year old terrorist is so young and already hates the world so much and wants to make it worse, will not get a better life if this terrorist plot is carried out.

In conclusion, i do not see a need for terrorist to cause pain and hurt to others as in turn, their lives will also be destroyed.

My Favourite Food

My favourite type of food would be the popular roti prata, which is an Indian made dish. Roti prata is actually a Singaporean evolution of the Pakistani and Indian paratha which is a pancake bread. Roti means bread while Prata means flat, which is why roti prata is made of flour and is usually flat.

I have tried many kinds of prata, ranging from the pratas which are thin, round and flat, to cone shaped pratas which are extremely thin and crispy. However, i prefer the commonly found pratas which are round and flat as they are more filling and better tasting. My favourite type of pratas would be the plain and egg prata. I also prefer the curry to sugar as the curry makes the prata salty and makes it spicier.


Here is an picture of roti prata:


The special thing about roti prata is that it is prepared in a rather special way as it is constantly being pressed and tossed around to make it larger and flatter. That is why the prata is usually made infront of people to show this special way of preparing this dish. When receiving the roti prata from the stall holder, the fragrant of the roti prata together with the curry is absolutely mouth-watering.


However, there is a downside to this fabulous dish. It sometimes can cause a mess if not careful. Also, plenty of water is "required" as it is rather heaty and can cause a sore throat. But still, the roti prata is an absolutely marvellous dish which is both affordable and delicious.


Overall dish rating: 7.5/10
