Terrorism: The Word Says It All and the World Witnesses
Terrorism: The word says it all and the world witnesses
“He did not want to go to school, I forced him to. I am the murderer”, were the words a mother was repeatedly trying to say in a complete sentence, while left bewildered on the death news of her 17-year old only boy, in Peshawar. That family does not understand what diplomatic relationships between
Pakistan and other countries can benefit them with, all it knows is that the feud between their army and a terrorist group in the country made them suffer the biggest loss of all times.
Whole world stands in shock and despair with the Shia-Islamic State of Pakistan, over their loss. We stand at a point where we have to choose between three paths. One, sit hand on hand and let the terrorists show their “might” by more such events in many other vulnerable countries. Second, debate.
Mouths full but hands empty. Shouting on National Television and ending up blaming each other. Third,
Act. The most difficult and road-not-to-be-taken of all. Although, this can help us eradicate the problem from grassroots, we won’t, because our political and diplomatic limits do not allow us to, but out humane limits do allow us to witness more such decimations.

Pakistan and Arabic Countries Front
We cannot give a clean chit to Middle-east countries and Pakistan over the issue as they have been known to shelter, rather, nourish the terrorists who are responsible for the world’s biggest terror attacks and annihilations. Be it Don Dawood Ibrahim or Hafiz Saeed or Osama Bin Laden, once in the lifetime, Pakistan nourished them. Then, how can you try to explode a neighbor’s house and expect that your house will not suffer even a scratch. I would not enter a debate or a judgment to say that the state funded the terrorist groups, but I would definitely like to bring out that the states did not do anything to stop this inhumane killing of innocent people. 18th May, 1998. India declared itself to be a nuclear power and within 10 days, Pakistan

    Modern day, international terrorism origins arguably dates back to the events on July 22nd 1968 in which the terrorist group the PLO changed the foundations of terrorism and caused a considerable shift in a modern terrorist’s approach. The year 1968 marked a radical shift in how terrorists operated and their objectives as a group, when a commercial air flight was hijacked by the PLO from Rome to Tel Aviv. This was a major turning point for three main reasons. Firstly, it was the first hijacking where its purpose was not to divert the plane but to make a bold political statement. El Al was Israel’s national airline and was a symbol of the Israeli state. The hijacking also the forced the state to directly deal with the terrorists. Second, the hijacking influenced people on an international scale. The fact that the terrorists were intending to trade hostages for imprisoned Palestinian terrorists in Israel was shocking to the wider audience watching this. In addition, it was the first time a terrorist organization began operating regularly at the international level, leaving its home turf to attack citizens of a foreign country who, in many cases, had nothing to do with their struggle in order to promote their political cause before an international audience. Finally though the combination of dramatic political statement, symbolic targeting and crisis induced de facto recognition, the terrorists recognized they had the power to create major media events. This was significant in that they realized media attention meant power. This was the first time they were being heard by the world and that their cause was being sympathized with, which was a great stepping stone for resolving their problems.…

    That historic event, combined with the week-long Islamist take- over of Mecca in the fall of 1979, provoked a brutal response against Islamist politics among the authoritarian regimes of the Middle East (joseph Schwartz). It is possible that Sayyed could be blamed for the initiation of the Islam states and if we fast forward to the most recent terrorist attacks in the United States we can see the influence that Osama bin Laden had on terrorism. In the eyes of Osama Bin Laden, the United States were to blame for all of the injustice that Muslims were put through. Bin Laden strongly believed that the United States was responsible for the humiliating failure of the Arabs to succeed. Bin Laden dated his hatred towards America in 1982. After America permitted the Israelis to invade Lebanon it provoked his intense desire to fight tyranny and longed for revenge. His frustration of American troops and Jews in Palestine also advocated his violence against the United States. In bin Laden’s words, punishing the oppressors by destroying towers in America, in the way towers in Lebanon were demolished would give Americans a taste of what they had…

    Incited by religious fanatics, trained and financed by Osama Bin Laden’s Al Qaeda terrorist network, they killed three-thousand innocent people on 9/11 and triggered an escalating cycle of violence which has taken the lives of tens of thousands of other innocent people, and has made another 9/11 virtually inevitable. Tragically, America will continue to be a target of Islamic terrorism because it bears a significant degree of responsibility for generating the political, economic, cultural, and religious causes of…

    Oooo. Mr. Prime minister, allow us to summarize what the President of our country Afghanistan was meant to say: our neighboring Islamic country Pakistan not only have been selling us for fraction of what we're worth to other countries around the world for decades, but also have been killing us for centuries now. Hopefully it didn't surprise any one, because this is nothing new to Afghans in Afghanistan, our neighboring Islamic and non Islamic countries in the region, United States of America, United Nations, and to the rest of us around the world. Most of Pakistan's peaceful killings started when our other kind neighboring country Russia occupied us very secretly, without Pakistan or any other Islamic countries in the region were noticing.…

    In the post-9/11 world, public officials have tried to define terrorism and understand its roots. President George W. Bush argued that terrorism is incited by “‘persistent poverty and oppression.’” Because these factors “‘can lead to hopelessness and despair,’” he argued, “‘failed states can become havens for terror’” (Krieger and Meierrieks 3). While valid, this argument falls slightly short of understanding the full problem. Many argue that terrorism is incited by individuals with psychological problems, but the roots of it are really much more profound. Oftentimes, it is well-educated individuals who are weary of their social conditions that bring on terrorism. Terrorism is often a calculated, rational response to political oppression. The political oppression that the Muslims experienced throughout the twentieth…

    Terrorism and counterterrorism are reasonably accredited areas to study because of all of the terrorism in the world (Roberts 2014). Terrorism can be examined from many different perspectives. To build on that point terrorism can be studied from a sociological perspective. Turk (2004) argues that sociology is a social construction. When society labels certain events as terrorism the government will begin to apply these labels (Turk 2004). If a powerful government, like the United States of America, starts to use labels like ‘terrorism’ or ‘terrorist,’ the it will have more influence on society to use these words; however, as a juxtaposition, if a less powerful government, like Luxembourg, labels people as terrorists then it will not have as…

    Terrorism in the Middle East has created numerous problems for the region as a whole, essentially creating a World Wide stereotype which made international relations with the West more difficult and tense over the recent years. However to say that Terrorism is the cause of all these problems can be true in some Nations and false within others. Many acts of terrorism can be seen as retaliatory measure with political matters being the main reason for certain groups committing terrorist acts. However this view of the region has been caused by minority Islamist groups that hold extremist views which the large majority of the region do not. The events of September 11th 2001 shocked the world to its core and would be the most world renowned act of…
