4. What is not Terrorism ?
 It is not crime (Crimes are profit motivated, no media attention with no
gov. recognition)
 Not mental illness (40% of lone wolf attacks by mentally ill not by
terrorists).
 Not an act between nations (if yes, then called as war not terrorism)
 Not act between own people

5. Lets explore in brief.
Major questions that we should start addressing now
Who are terrorists ?
Who are suspected terrorists ?
What they want from these violence ?
How to identify them ?
What harm they cause to humanity ?
How to control them ?

6. Types of terrorism.
 State-Sponsored terrorism, which consists of terrorist acts on a state or government by a state or
government.
 Dissent terrorism, which are terrorist groups which have rebelled against their government.
 Terrorists and the Left and Right, which are groups rooted in political ideology.
 Religious terrorism, which are terrorist groups which are extremely religiously motivated
 Criminal Terrorism, which are terrorists acts used to aid in crime and criminal profit.

7. Who are Suspected Terrorists ?
There isn’t an exact definition of terrorism similarly there isn’t an
exact definition of who the actual terrorist is and who is just suspected
one.
Counter terrorism can become its own form of terrorism.
Terrorism has no religion.
Any person who is directly or indirectly involved in terrorising
civilians for ideological belief can be suspected as terrorists.

8. How to control Suspected Terrorists ?
 Citizenship stripping (In 2015, five people were stripped of British citizenship on the basis it
was "conducive to the public good".)
 Port and border controls
 Passport confiscation (The criteria changed in 2013, allowing a home secretary to withdraw
passports if they are satisfied there is a public interest to do so.)
 Seizing travel documents (The police have the power to temporarily seize travel documents if
they believe someone is travelling in order to engage in terrorist activity. It was a power granted in
the 2015 Counter-Terrorism Security Act.)
 India still doesn’t have antiterrorism legislation similar to the U.S. Patriot Act

9. "We support an integrated
approach to countering
terrorism, the spread of its
ideology and funding illegal
armed groups, as well as
rejection of the double standard
policy in the fight against the
major modern threat,“ -Putin
We need quick justice, and we need strong justice.
Much quicker and much stronger than we have
right now, because what we have right now is a
joke, and it’s a laughing stock. And no wonder so
much of this stuff takes place. - Trump
"You must have the most
effective means to deal
with violent terrorists. The
more you sweat in
training, the less you bleed
in wartime.“ - XI Jinping
