Terrorists have mostly remained scattered and hidden around the world
Terrorism is one of the most emotive, politically charged and controversial issues of the world today. Now days, it appeared throughout the world as a threat to humanity, it is of different characters and strategies. The terrorists, despite being heavily outnumbered by billions of people aspiring for peace, have mostly remained scattered and hidden around the world. So far no one has able to define terrorism in a manner that could be universally acceptable. In Webster’s collegiate dictionary, terrorism has been defined as the use of physical force in a coordinated manner by an organized group or group so as to injure others. A different view of terrorism has been provided by George Sorel. To him, terrorism has been the revolutionary denial of the existing order mainly with a view to creating a new order, so, terrorism may be defined as the substrate application of violence or threatened violence intended to create panic in a society, to weaken or ever overthrow the incumbents, and to bring about political changes.
Now a day, terrorists have mostly remained scattered and hidden around the world. They now act on a wider variety of motives than ever before, some features of terrorism involves the following:
1. Some of terrorists embrace death unflinchingly for their cause, be it right or wrong
2. The anarchist and the left wing terrorist groups that succeeded them, down through the red armies that operated in Germany, Italy and japan in the 1970s, have vanished. Now the initiative has passed to the extreme rights. Most international and domestic terrorism these days, however, is neither left nor right but ethnic separatist in nature.
3. The terrorist groups, the Irish republican army (IRA), the Kurdish extremist in turkey and Iraq, the Tamil tigers in Sri Lanka, the Basque homeland and liberty movement in Spain and many other groups have had political as well as terrorist groups.
4. The worst type of terrorism is state sponsored terrorism. It has the advantage of having immense physical power, unlimited access to media and enormous clout to rally round international state clubs.
Terrorism, as a multivariate phenomenon, comes into being thought numerous channels and a number of factors are responsible for its rise at national and international level. Such as
1 At the national level, poverty is cited as an important factor contributing to the rise of terrorism.
2 the confrontational politics of a country may also be the cause of nationwide terrorism.
3 the political suppression of opponents and economic deprivation resulting from poverty of absence of distributive justice could raise terrorism.
4 double standard of major powers and international level also responsible for growth of international terrorists.
Indeed, terrorism seems to be a curse for the nation and country. It is one kind of destructive effort to fulfill one’s certain interest. At present, most of the third world countries are victim of the terrorism. There are some miscreants who have been operating and the leading the terrorist activities for the fulfillment of their selfishness. Now a day, terrorism turns serious violence. The spread of illegal weapons, these days, has become a major challenge to law and order in all over the country. Therefore, having illegal weapons, are created terrorism.
Moreover, Terrorism also found indifferent forms and nature. There are people who want to dominate the society they want the people to safeguard their interest over everything, they cannot tolerate any challenge of their opposition. They want their candidate to be opposition. They want their candidates to be elected in the election. Finding no alternative, they adopt their unfair means of terrorism.
To say the least, terrorism is a disease, an evil and a crime against humanity.it has no place whatever in any religion, Nor does it has any place in a civilized society. therefore, in any form or manifestation, wherever and by whoever it is committed, can never be condoned.
In conclusion, terrorism is not only the threat to society but also a great bar to the proper use of human resources of the nation. We can define terrorism as a social cancer, so the social workers, social thinkers, alert citizen of the society, educated people and the intellectuals of the society along with political leaders should be organized with a view to eradication terrorism forever the society and country.
