Chapter one

Terrorism is not an Islamic or Arabic

invention or Palestinian innovation. It is a unique

instrument in the political turmoil in modern times.

At first, terrorism was known as an expression and practiced

two centuries ago. While the organized and unorganized wars

are sold as human kind, terrorism did not crystallize

actually until 1773. It was during the "Reign of Terror" in

France in the 1790's when the English and French termed the

word terrorism. During the French Revolution, Robespierre

and St. Just practiced political violence on a large scale.

Out of 27 million Frenchmen, 90,000 were beheaded and

300,000 were jailed.

Political violence can be a revolution if it succeeds in

bringing down a regime and seizing the power of the ruling

class as evidenced during the Russian revolution in 1917.

It can be terrorism, if it succeeds in creating political

unrest, as in Latin America.

A terrorist could be a revolutionary, and a revolutionary

could be a terrorist according to one's point of view. At

the same time, the world considers a terrorist a defendant

to be trailed as the terrorist acts as a judge of the

political system it is trying to change.

The first half of the 20th century saw numerous wars while

the latter half, only the Iran-Iraq and Gulf war.

Presently, political movements are adapting violence and

guerilla warfare as a means to achieve their aims.

Recommendation: What is required for countering terrorism

is cooperation instead of confrontation or imposition of

one's will upon another. History teaches us that some

countries are leaders who are instrumental in the formation

of worldwide policies. The need to utilize the United

Nations to enforce laws and rules according to logic and

ethics is extremely important in the world community.

Your telling us nothing new. Terroism has always gone on in one form or the other. Most of the time its localaised - Like the IRA in Britain, Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka etc.

 

The scary important point of Islamic terrorism is that they strike all the over the world - New York, London, Madrid, Moscow, Saudi Arabia,Iraq, Israel, Bali - the list goes on and they seek to cause mass casualties.

Alot of people re steriotyping these days. Yes, right now, Islamic terrorists are the most prevalent, but this is only one point in history, as your article points out. You're not telling me anything new either, but I'm glad you posted because the message isn't getting to everyone. The more people spread the ideals of tolerance and unification, the better. Good on you!:thumbsup:

Some Arabs/Muslims don't do enough to rid themselves of that image.

I read a rather neat article about how international terrorism should be classed as piracy, have a look http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/08/terrorists_as_p.html

Most people know islam is a peaceful religion

they are islamic terrorist. they do exist, but the majority of mulsims are peaceful people.

you call said terrorist groups not islamic

they are islamic terrorist groups

If you bomb in the name of the IRA, you're a terrorist.

If you bomb in the name of Jeses...or lynch blacks or hate all that isn't white in the name of Jesus, you're a terrorist...and certainly not living the way Jesus tsught, BTW.

If you bomb or torture or kill in the name of Yaweh, you're a terrorist.

If you invade another nation because their land is beneficial to you, and care not for the indiginous peoples living there, you are a terrorist.

If you bomb busses and planes in the name of Allah, you are a terrorist.

 

Every race, aceed and colour has them and have throughout history. Not all terrorists are Muslims and it's not fair to assume all Muslims are terrorists.

 

Anyone playing into that kind of racism is just plain stupid and uninformed. And I highly doubt anyone here is doing that. The more we can remind the world that this recent threat of Muslim terrorism is only one facet of history, the better our chances for understanding will be.

terrorist are criminals and murders just worse.

but are criminals and murderers terrorists?

and what makes them worse?

 

I think 'terrorist' is too much of a loaded term to be thrown around so easily

what do you have to do to just be a criminal or a murderer?

what did you mean by that?

Is there a difference between a murder and a terrorist?

terrorism

 

A terrorist could be a revolutionary, and arevolutionary could be a terrorist according to one's pointof view. At the same time, a terrorist is seen through theeyes of the whole world as being a criminal committing acrime against humanity, while the terrorist acts as a judgeof the political system it is trying to change. In his book Terrorism, Walter Liqueur mentioned thatterrorist movements would usually start as small groups,while researchers will concentrate usually on large groups.Liqueur noticed that terrorism always claims defending somecertain aspects of our time. Some undisciplined forceswould float on the surface of the ideological strategy ofthe leftists or rightists which always provide those moreinterested in violence instead of liberty and justice. As a matter of fact, terrorism has a lot to do withpolitics. "The concept of politics based on the saying thatit is social activity supported by the force of law in orderto ensure the external security and internal unity in aframe of political unit keeps order in the middle ofdisputes which might be aroused due to the interests andopinion diversities."1 But at the same time, it does notmean terrorism cannot influence politics, or terrorismcannot achieve its goals. Due to terrorism's interactionwith politics, it can offer a major problem which is thecomplexion of the political relations from both the enemyand friendly point of view

there is update

 

In 1954, Egypt completed negotiations with Britain onwithdrawal from the Suez Canal and dissolved the Britishmilitary bases. At the same time, Egypt was negotiatingwith the United States for military assistance. Israel wasalso trying to offer some proposal for political compromisewith Egypt. Israel was watching these contacts with the Westernworld concerned about its own political future. Israel'sobjectives at the time were: 1. Geographical expansion at the coast of Syria andJordan in order to complete the boundaries of Israel beforeany political compromise. 2. Breaking the Arabic force. 3. Convincing the United States that Israel is thenatural ally and not the Arab states. In order to achieve these objectives, Great Britainand the United States needed to break down the contactsbetween Egypt and Great Britain and on the other side, Egyptand the United States.2 For that reason, the Israeli military intelligencecreated undercover groups to carry out terrorist operationsin Egypt. That group was supposed to report directly to theIsraeli Defence Minister, who at the time was Benhas Lavon.The group arrived in Egypt in June 1954 and was joined byanother group already operating within Egypt. They began aseries of terrorist operations such as: bomb attacks on theBritish theater in Cairo; on the main Post Office; and onthe Cairo bus station. They even tried to set some ofCairo's theaters on fire. It was unclear whether thisaction was aimed at the British or American interests. Butas a result, it delayed negotiations between the three andany effort for political settlement between Egypt andIsrael. During the arsonist's try in Alexandria, PhilipNatason, leader of the group's 13 other members wasarrested. Ten other members were also arrested, but twomanaged to escape from Egypt. In October 1954, the EgyptianInterior Minister announced the arrests. After one week,they were referred to the Military Court. In January 1955,the Court ordered the execution of four members (two inabsentia) and jail terms for six with two being found notguilty. In Israel an investigation committee was formed. Thetask was to identify those responsible for backing thegroup. Was it the Defence Minister, Lavon or the Directorof Military Intelligence? Even though no specific answerwas reached, the Israeli Prime Minister asked for theresignation of the two officers and they resigned inFebruary 1955.
