DO YOU Believe THAT TERRORISM HAS A RELIGION..........
YES OR NO
AND WHY
PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR OPINION
TERRORISM IS THE SYSTEMATIC USE OF TERROR, OFTEN VIOLENT,
ESPECIALLY AS A MEANS OF COERCION. IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, HOWEVER,
TERRORISM HAS NO LEGALLY BINDING, CRIMINAL LAW DEFINITION.COMMON DEFINITIONS OF
TERRORISM REFER ONLY TO THOSE VIOLENT ACTS WHICH ARE INTENDED TO CREATE FEAR
(TERROR), ARE PERPETRATED FOR A RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL OR, IDEOLOGICAL GOAL; AND
DELIBERATELY TARGET OR DISREGARD THE SAFETY OF NON-COMBATANTS (CIVILIANS). SOME
DEFINITIONS NOW INCLUDE ACTS OF UNLAWFUL VIOLENCE AND WAR. THE USE OF SIMILAR
TACTICS BY CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR PROTECTION RACKETS OR TO ENFORCE A CODE
OF SILENCE IS USUALLY NOT LABELED TERRORISM THOUGH THESE SAME ACTIONS MAY BE
LABELED TERRORISM WHEN DONE BY A POLITICALLY MOTIVATED GROUP. PERHAPS, IT IS
LESS OPPRESSIVE IN ITSELF THAN THROUGH THE EFFECTS OF THE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TO
PROTECT ITS LIKELY VICTIMS.
THE WORD "TERRORISM" IS POLITICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY
CHARGED, AND THIS GREATLY COMPOUNDS THE DIFFICULTY OF PROVIDING A PRECISE
DEFINITION. STUDIES HAVE FOUND OVER 100 DEFINITIONS OF “TERRORISM”. THE CONCEPT
OF TERRORISM MAY ITSELF BE CONTROVERSIAL AS IT IS OFTEN USED BY STATE
AUTHORITIES (AND INDIVIDUALS WITH ACCESS TO STATE SUPPORT) TO DELEGITIMIZE POLITICAL
OR OTHER OPPONENTS, AND POTENTIALLY LEGITIMIZE THE STATE'S OWN USE OF ARMED
FORCE AGAINST OPPONENTS (SUCH USE OF FORCE MAY ITSELF BE DESCRIBED AS
"TERROR" BY OPPONENTS OF THE STATE).
TERRORISM HAS BEEN PRACTICED BY A BROAD ARRAY OF POLITICAL
ORGANIZATIONS FOR FURTHERING THEIR OBJECTIVES. IT HAS BEEN PRACTICED BY BOTH
RIGHT-WING AND LEFT-WING POLITICAL PARTIES, NATIONALISTIC GROUPS, RELIGIOUS
GROUPS, REVOLUTIONARIES, AND RULING GOVERNMENTS. AN ABIDING CHARACTERISTIC IS
THE INDISCRIMINATE USE OF VIOLENCE AGAINST NONCOMBATANTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
GAINING PUBLICITY FOR A GROUP, CAUSE, OR INDIVIDUAL. THE SYMBOLISM OF TERRORISM
CAN LEVERAGE HUMAN FEAR TO HELP ACHIEVE THESE GOALS.
