WORKSHOP ABOUT TERRORISM

1. Terrorism

2. Definition.-
Terrorims has two essential features
a.- Terrorists try to get or to increase the political
or territorial power.
b.- Their most used method is to spread the
sensation of terror in population in general,
so, they usually attack indiscriminately, that is,
they attack people choosen at random through
bombs, shots, kidnappings, extortions, etc.

3. Therefore, a psychopath or serial
killer who kill for pleasure is not a
terrorist .
Someone who kill people to steal
them is not a terrorist either

4. An inconvenient truth:
Any terrorist organization that get
importance has an important social
support too.
That is, without a certain level of social
support any terrorist organization could
not survive

5. Mass demostration in favor of ETA
(Basque terrorist organization) in the
Basque Country

radical ones (fascism, communism,
anarchism, nationalism, religious
radicalism, etc.), ar able to generate
terrorist organizations:

34. Jihadist terrorism: some considerations.
.-The most of victims of the jihadist terrorism are muslims
because usually there is a great division and hate
between Sunnis (majority) and Shiites (minority)
.- So, the Sunni jihadism use to attack the Shiites and vice
versa
.- In Europe and in the West in general have more impact
the jihadist terrorist attacks against western countries or
citizens

35. Main jihadist terrorist groups:
ISIS or DAESH (Syria-Irak)
Al Qaeda
Hamas (Gaza) (Under discussion)
Hezbollah (Lebanon)
Salafist Group for Call and Combat / al-Qaeda in the
Islamic Maghreb
Boko Haram (Nigeria)
Al Shabaab (Somalia)
etc. etc.

48. And remember: we have explained only the
attacks against western interest and citizens,
but these jihadist attacks take place more
abundantly in the Near East (Syria, Israel,
Lebanon…) Middle East (Irak, Afghanistan,
Iran..) and in the islamic African countries such
as Nigeria, Niger, Somalia..
Even in China, India, Philippines these terrorist
attacks happen now and then.

49. As an example we will
explain through some
pictures a bit about
the most lethal jihadist
group nowadays:
ISIS or Daesh

55. And now, let to me to
say you something, It is
a personal opinion, so,
you can agree or not

56. 1º.- We, the honest people, are more numerous
than the terrorist
2º.- They can kill us, indeed, but, we can kill them
too. They are not indestructible.
3º.- Don´t be afraid, enjoy life. If you don´t do that,
the terrorist will have won, and this cannot happen
ever. This will not happen ever
