And this is the way to make people know,what a daft way of thinking,you are destroying your resources in order to prove a point that is more or less insignificant,can two wrongs make a right?.This youths need mental help.

When the going gets tough, then Tough must get going. In no time, it seems, groups will start threatening husbands for kissing their wives. Are there any laws in this country?

The effect of this groups "is an ill wind that drives nobody no good",I see it as lawlessness instead of protest and revolution,If bomb is the warning sign,what then will happen when it took place ?. i guess they will release atomic bomb.These tyrants should be fished out and dealt with according to the law on terrorism.
