Terrorism is the most frequently mentioned international issue of the latter-day world. The word terrorism, especially after the attack on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 has gone into our lives forever. Today this item is mainly associated with the Islamic fundamentalists coming from Arab countries. Terrorism has been practiced throughout history and throughout the world. Terrorism has been used by one or both sides in anticolonial conflicts, in disputes between different national groups over possession of a contested homeland, in conflicts between different religious denominations, and in internal conflicts between revolutionary forces and established governments. I would like to show that Islamic leaders incite Muslims to terrorist attacks using one of the main principles of Islam.
The assumptions of Islamic religion are good and do not have satanic character. The majority of Muslims are peace-loving people who basically ignore the Koran's command to kill the unbelievers with holy zeal. Every Muslim once in his life has to make pilgrimage to Mecca, pray five times during the day, fast during Ramadan, not eat pork and not drink wine, give alms to the poor and believe in one God, that is Allah. One of the Koran's rules says if somebody dies because of dissemination of Islam in holy war he goes to heaven. Exactly this last rule is used by Islamic leaders, through false interpretation, which boils down to inciting Muslims to terrorist attacks, leading to killing unbelievers and destruction their civilization.
Most Muslims are boundlessly and fanatically dedicated to Islamic religion, which is for them everything. However, reality is pushed to the margin of their lives. Only this deep and fanatic faith, only religious or denominational fanaticism can lead to exclusion of sound rationality, self-rating and morality. Religious fanatics do not see anything except a religion; they do not accept any other values of live. People are manipulated and brainwashed which leads them to completely surrender to their rulers and they become an easy object of manipulation and an instrument which can be used in any way, place and time. The Islamic leaders belong to the richest part of the populace, which takes a big profit from trade of oil. But the money does not profit all citizens, but only those that lead them. Their fanatic leaders use the poor citizens of Arab countries, as a tool in an unprecedented way. Everybody knows that following adversity is lack of education, coarseness and ease of manipulation. For a simple man it is easy to make him believe a lot of irrational views, it is very easy to frighten him and he can be very quickly and cheaply bribed. The simple and uneducated man will have a tendency to a fanatic and boundless way of declaration his faith, in any points, even when these things conflicting with sound rationality. This situation doubtless takes place in Arab counties supporting terrorism.
All the time remains an unresponding question about a sense of procedure Islamic leaders. Why do they aim at destroying western culture? The answer on this question seems itself banal. The western and Moslem cultures are two opposed elements like fire and water. The West has more power, more technology, more money, and more political clout, so this religion of war has a lot of frustrated believers. They sincerely wanted to follow the teachings of Mohammed. They wanted to show their devotion to Allah by fighting for Islam %u2014 as the Koran constantly exhorts them to do. The Arabs cultivate almost a medieval way of living with a conservation of a whole religious and social tradition. Islamic leaders apparently depend on this state of things. They do not want to change the standard of living of Muslim people. They fight against influx of freedom and democracy with tooth and nail. They do not want to improve and raise the level of education among citizens. Women cannot have the same rights that men have. The Islamic leaders see what happened in Turkey, where Islam is divergent from an ideal because of European influences. Muslim children are brought up against the West, which is called the biggest evil, an enemy.
The Islamic leaders suggest to simple and credulous people that killing unbelievers is the best way of dissemination of Islam. But one of the primary barriers to the Islamic takeover of the world is Western power, most specifically, the United States.
