TRACING THE TERROR REGIME: UNDERSTANDING ISLAMIC FAULT LINES
Downloads
Abstract
‘I think that the best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue. For me the best way to fight against terrorism and extremism... just a simple thing: educate the next
generation.’ - Malala Yousafzai
The above quote by Malala Yousafzai might seem idealistic and preachy yet the avenue of education could possibly be our only sustaining resort in combating the relentless global crusade against terrorism. Terrorism the very term signifies a systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. It is a term that is politically and emotionally loaded and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. The concept of terrorism may itself be controversial as it is often used by State authorities to delegitimize political or other opponents and potentially legitimize the state’s use of armed force against opponents. The term terror comes from the Latin word ‘terrere’ which means to frighten. The final goal maybe to achieve religious, ideological or political objectives. However, education in the above quote does not solely mean awakening a misled terrorist to a righteous path, it also would include in its ambit ‘us’ the wronged populace from emerging as ‘victims’ of terrorism to ‘the populace’ who have previously played the role of perpetrators actively practicing ‘islamophobia’. This paper would trace the concept, causes and the situations that perpetuate Terrorism, the current challenges and suggestions to curb the same within the present international paradigm.
