Terrorism under the guise of “Islamic Jihadist” Movement: Do these represent the teachings of Islam? by Professor Afis A. Oladosu at the Taking All Men Brother (TAMEB)'s Freedom of Religion 2019 Conference
We must avoid the temptation to engage in simplistic assumptions and/or consequent conclusions that what Islam is in the text is what the religion is in different contexts of Muslim societies across the contemporary world. It is however arguable to say that the greater issue confronting the Islamic world today is that of violent extremism or terrorism. The latter, which has variously been described as “Islamic Jihadist” movement, has enjoyed much popularity for improving cross-cultural dialogue across the world but notoriety for its promotion of violence. Represented in the West African sub-region by the Boko Haram group, the activities of these so-called Islamic movements have equally raised questions about original teachings of Islam – the precepts and principles established by Prophet Muhammad for interreligious dialogue and perhaps most importantly the position of Islam on freedom of, in and within religion. This presentation explores and engages the dialectics in these perspectives, rereads factors for the incidence of violent extremism in the West African sub-region and offer suggestions by which the region could achieve greater intercultural and interreligious rapprochement, through the exploration of intra-Islamic peace-building strategies and instruments.

Islam is a religion of peace,but radicals have changed its preaching. Can one considered jihad as a just war? Since its inscribed in the Holy Koran.As such,this presentation give some of the reasons why a certain groups (mostly Muslims) have developed new ideologies.

Whittaker and Crotty
Terrorism Defined
Terrorism is a difficult concept to define. For example, all individuals who detonate bombs in order to kill and maim innocent civilians are not terrorists. All murderers are not terrorists. Ted Bundy brutally murdered countless human beings. Although his crimes terrorized his victims, their families, the general public, he was a criminal - not a terrorist. The term "terrorism" is a political term. It describes an individual or groups who are using unlawful force or violence, or the threat thereof, to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of political or social objectives.
As Whittaker points out, terrorism can be objectively defined by the quality of the act. We know that all terrorists acts are crimes. However, the murder of individuals in the commission of a bank robbery is a crime, but it may or not be terrorism. If the motive of the Bank Robbery is to enrich the perpetrators, it is a crime. If the motive is to destabilize the nations banking system in order to bring down the government or to provide money to buy weapons to kill or threaten individuals to further some political objective, than it is a crime and an act of terrorism. Terrorism differs from ordinary crimes because its motivation is political.
Stephen Nathanson offers the following definition of Terrorism:
1. They are acts of serious, deliberate violence or destruction.
2. They are committed as part of a campaign to promote a political or social agenda.
3. They generally target limited numbers of people but aim to influence a larger group and/or the leaders who make decisions for the group.
4. They either kill or injure innocent people or pose a serious threat of such harms to innocent people.1
Incidents that have clear international consequences can be defined as international terrorism. For example, attacks on foreign diplomats, foreign nationals, airliners, and infrastructure by individuals from another country or a group that transcends international borders, Al-Queda for example, qualify as acts of international terrorism.
The motivation for terrorism is political. Generally, the direct cause of terrorism is a condition or circumstance that is perceived to be unjust. These issues may be addressed through a peaceful political process including strikes, demonstrations, boycotts, and regime change. However, when peaceful means are not available or fail extremists factions within the group seeking redress may turn to terrorism. For example, in modern states, separatist nationalism among Basques, Bretons, and Quebecois has motivated terrorism.
A dissatisfied minority or majority is not sufficient to cause terrorism. There are other necessary ingredients. There must be a perception of a lack of opportunity for political participation, and a final catalyst. The catalyst can be Government's use of extraordinary or unexpected force to quell peaceful attempts for redress or other .

3. Abstract
While we must avoid the temptation to engage in
simplistic assumptions and/or consequent
conclusions that what Islam is in the text is what the
religion is in different contexts of Muslims societies
across the contemporary world, it is however arguable
to say that the greater issue confronting the
Islamicate world today is that of violent extremism or
terrorism. The latter, which has variously been
described as “Islamic Jihadist” movement, has enjoyed
not popularity for improving cross-cultural dialogue
across the world but notoriety for its promotion of
violence.
4. Abstract
Represented in the West African subregion by the Boko
Haram group, the activities of these so-called Islamic
movements have equally raised questions about original
teachings of Islam, the precepts and principles established
by Prophet Muhammad for inter-religious dialogue and
perhaps most importantly the position of Islam on
freedom of, in and within religion. This presentation
explores and engages the dialectics in these perspectives,
rereads factors for the incidence of violent extremism in
the West African sub-region and offers suggestions by
which the region could achieve greater inter-cultural and
inter-religious rapprochement through the exploration of
intra-Islamic peace-building strategies and instruments
5. DEFINING TERROR; DEFINING THE
INDEFINABLE?
From latin to french to English: terere, terrorisme,
terrorism; The Jacobin Club post-revolution France 1795
Features individuals or groups carrying out violence
directed against the public, against civilians.
an action that has the effect of spreading fear by
preventing people from taking any safekeeping measures
against physical or property damage.
may be overt or stealthy; may include serial murders,
burnings, bombings
Is it not synonymous with Irhab or khawf? Q2:155-157: we
shall surely test you
Is it another word for Faz’u: Q 38: 22
6. Semantics of Terror
T is a tactic of demanding for the impossible and doing so at gun-
point: e.g US must become an Islamic state; Southwest Nig. must
belong to Xtianity; Abuja Must be Muslim
T is the weapon of the outlaw against the oppressor; Muhammad
Yusuf JAMAAT IZALAT BID”AH
T is an emotion caused by the sight of an evil or peril
T is warfare by extreme means
T is an act of war measured by the scale of its victims not the merit of
its cause
T is the blackmail of the many by the few: Good Muslims versus Bad
Muslims
T is the transaction between State terrorism and non-State terrorism
on the body of the civilian: eg Israeli vs Hamas; US drone attacks In
Afghanistan vs the Taliban; 2009 Nigerian govt vs jamaat
7. APPROACHES TO ANTI-TERRORISM
The How and What Approach
US at State level: “Either you are with us or with the
Terrorist”
Intra-State War on Terror (ISWT): Division of Muslims
into 2: Good vs Bad Muslims
Psychological War on Terror: against the hijab, the beard,
the Muslim name,
Economic deprivations
Prohibition of Muslim philanthropic organizations
Summary: the “How” approach to the challenge posed by
terrorism has produced terrorism of anti-terrorism
8. Approaches to Anti-Terrorism in
Nigeria: The Governmental
The “How” and what” Approach
Killing of Muhammad Yusuf
Global Standard: terrorism is an abyss; you have to
stare it in the face: violence for violence
Promulgation of 2011 Anti-terrorism bill (see Nigeria’s
War on Terror: Between National Security and
Human Right 2012)
Entry into security alliance with foreign powers
9. Approaches to Anti-Terrorism in
Nigeria: The Non-Governmental
The Informed Approach: “Terrorism is an effect:
government should confront the cause”; dialogue
with the “terrorists” Where possible
Un-Informed Approach: “this people want war: govt
should confront them headlong: let Xtians pick up
arms too”. Fani-Kayode). The approach ignores the
fact that majority of those who have died so far have
been Muslims;
Prejudiced approach: split this country into two:
embarrass Muslims wherever you see them e.g
Nasarawa High Court
10. Exploring Role for Religion 1
Separate Muslims from Islam
Of the ideological/organizational- the
karikasa, the boko haram, the tabligh
Of the Westomanic and Westophobic
11. Exploring Role for Religion 2
Rescue Islam from the Muslims
Of nature –al-fitrah –Q2: 208; 3-80
Of peace and Justice
Of knowledge and war against ignorance
Choice, Chance not compulsion
Of four levels –shariah, tariqah, marifa h and haqiqah
Of four features: practicality, universality, historicity,
comprehensiveness
12. Exploring Role of Islam
Islam privileges the Why Question
The wrong notion of the Self: of Christians, Jews and
Muslims; Q4: 123 and Q 5: 18
Thus to be Muslim is to be accountable;
Wrong notion of the Other: 2: 256/ 60: 8dar harb vs dar
salam/al-ahd
13. Exploring the Role of Islam
Violence for violence is abhorent to Allah: Q2: 190;
example from our leader Q
Wrong notion of the stage of Dawah with that of
authority:
29
Do not think I have come to send peace on earth rather I
have come to set a man against his mother... Mathew 10:
34-35/ luke 19: 26-27/deutronomy 7: 1-2
14. Exploring the Role of Islam
Existential Factor
Advocate Dawah that would promote economic prosperity
not poverty:
Muslim Ummah should confront under/Employment of
the youth
Muslim Ummah should confront ‘informed ignorance’
:
Promote multiculturalism ...
Peaceful engagement of Islamophobia not the promotion
and celebration of westophobia
15. Exploring the Role of the Judiciary
Nigeria is in need of honest and completely learned
legal practitioners
Of Judges who can speak truth to power
Of judges who will not turn their courts to a space of
terror like the judge in Nasarawa
Of legal provision which will not consider me guilty
before trial; nor terrorise me in the name of anti-
terrorism
