I was born as innocent and naive as you all are. I spent my time with my family and friends pure and blameless. I went to school, college and even university to develop myself. I was eye apple of my parents, beloved classmate of my fellows, soul of gatherings and reformer of my society. I was law obeying person of my nation. Alas! what made me criminal?
When I completed my graduation for the university. I was deprived of job, which matched my degree. I saw dull and uneducated people enjoying life on one hand and my family was starving for a single morsel on the other. My mom was mourning for her joint aches. The society I wanted to serve was likely to snatch my life. My friends left me as I could not meet their status. I was left in high and dry alone. This all covered my wisdom and I did what I never wished to do. I did what I never want to think of. That made me criminal.
My request to all is to help deprived ones. Now I acknowledge:
I am a criminal
but please save others.

Yes, Mr. Bob, I do agree with you. My main point in the above article was to present a criminal's point of view. If you find any criminal and ask him reasons of becoming criminal he will give you such kind of excuses. Though they are not acceptable according to us, yet criminals think of them acceptable.
The sad truth is that many degrees offer a minuscule chance for a job in the exact specialty because far more people take that degree than there are jobs available. How many philosophers, sociologists, historians and anthropologists are driving taxis or selling shoes at the mall. How many jobs are really available in "Art History", Archaeology, Astronomy, "Agricultural Economics" and "Cultural Anthropology"?
I served on the faculty search committee for a new member of the Anthropology Department at an American University. We sent out the job description for the position we needed in Cultural Anthropology with a specialty in women's studies. We received over 900 applications. More than 600 of the applicants were extremely well qualified. That one job had more than six hundred people with a doctorate and a specialized study in the field. Imagine that many people with advanced degrees all struggling for a single university job.
What are these people doing today? I don't know any of them but I'm willing to bet that very few if any became criminals. Maybe some are living overseas teaching English and studying another culture on their own. My point is that education is our best tool against crime and poverty. A person with a good education can always get some kind of job while the illiterate person might have to resort to crime.
You are right MISHAIKH but I ask you a question: How many people are truly believers in the world who see Allah the Almighty in every walk of life? You will find many people claiming different beliefs but when it comes to put all that in life most of them forget their claim and stuck in materialistic things.
You are right and so do all the commentators. But during all the aspect, DON'T YOU SEE THE LACK OF BELIF and FATE.....................?

Thanks for your comment. Whatever you said is correct in accordance with our way of thinking, but if you search for reasons behind most of the crimes you will find the above mentioned criminal right. Criminal say they commit crimes due to injustice, oppression, inequality, and discrimination etc. None of them blame himself or herself.
So you have complete liberty to oppose them but they are not totally wrong. We have to think about them, to make our societies free from crime.
This is what he is saying and asking you to save others.
Is being a criminal solve all your problems, or it magnifies it ten folds?
