The document discusses the history and evolution of terrorism from ancient groups like the Sicarii and Hashashin to modern religiously motivated groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS. It notes that terrorism has existed throughout history but became prominent internationally in the late 20th century. While religiously motivated terrorism is a major threat today, the document also discusses terrorist acts committed by groups associated with Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity to demonstrate that terrorism exists across many religions and ideologies. It concludes by arguing that most religions primarily preach peace and do not support violence, and ordinary religious people should not be viewed as terrorists.

5. THE BEGINNING OF TERRORISM .
1ST CENTURY BCE-13TH CENTURY: TERRORISM IN THE PRE-MODERN WORLD:
THE HISTORY OF TERRORISM IS AS OLD AS HUMANS' WILLINGNESS TO USE
VIOLENCE TO AFFECT POLITICS. THE SICARII WERE A FIRST CENTURY JEWISH
GROUP WHO MURDERED ENEMIES AND COLLABORATORS IN THEIR CAMPAIGN TO
OUST THE ROMAN RULES FROM JUDAEA.
THE HASHHASHIN, WHOSE NAME GAVE US THE ENGLISH WORD " ASSASSINS, "
WERE A SECRETIVE ISLAMIC SECT ACTIVE IN IRAN AND SYRIA FROM THE 11TH TO
THE 13TH CENTURY.
THEIR DRAMATICALLY EXECUTED ASSASSINATIONS OF ABBASID AND SELJUK
POLITICAL FIGURES TERRIFIED THEIR CONTEMPORARIES.

6. THE EVOLUTION OF TERRORISM.
• 1793: THE ORIGINS OF MODERN TERRORISM:
• THE WORD TERRORISM COMES FROM THE REIGN OF TERROR INSTIGATED BY
MAXMILIEN ROBESPIERRE IN 1793, FOLLOWING THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.
ROBESPIERRE, ONE OF THE TWELVE HEADS OF THE NEWS TASTE, HAD ENEMIES OF
THE REVOLUTION KILLED, AND INSTALLED A DICTATORSHIP TO STABILISE THE
COUNTRY. HE JUSTIFIES HIS METHODS AS NECESSARY IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF
THE MONARCHY TO A LIBERAL DEMOCRACY.
• 1950S: THE RISE OF NON-STATE TERRORISM:
• THE RISE OF GUERRILLA TACTICS BY NON STATE ACTORS IN THE LAST HALF OF THE
TWENTIETH CENTURY WAS DUE TO SEVERAL FACTORIES. THESE INCLUDED THE
FLOWERING OF ETHNIC NATIONALISM (E.G. IRISH BASQUE, ZIONIST), ANTI COLONIAL
SENTIMENTS IN THE VAST BRITISH,FRENCH AND OTHER EMPIRES AND NEW
IDEOLOGIES SUCH AS COMMUNISM.

9. Causes of Terrorism
• Psychological Causes
• Unemployment
• Finance
• Demand for Something
• Use of Religion
• Education

10. 1970S: TERRORISM TURNS
INTERNATIONAL:
• INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM BECAME A PROMINENT ISSUE IN THE LATE 1960S, WHEN
HIJACKING BECAME A FAVOURED TACTICS. IN 1968, THE POPULAR FRONT FOR THE
LIBERATION OF PALESTINE HIJACKED AN EL AL FLIGHT. TWENTY YEARS LATER, THE
BOMBING OF PAN AM FLIGHT OVER LOCKERBIE,SCOTLAND, SHOCKED THE WORLD.
• THE ERA ALSO GAVE US OUR CONTEMPORARY SENSE OF TERRORISM AS HIGHLY
THEATRICAL,SYMBOLIC ACTS OF VIOLENCE BY ORGANISED GROUPS WITH SPECIFIC
POLITICAL GRIEVANCES.
• SIMILARLY, THE KURDS, A DISTINCT ETHNIC AND LINGUISTIC GROUP IN TURKEY, SYRIA,
IRAQ AND IRAN, HAVE SOUGHT NATIONAL AUTONOMY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE
20TH CENTURY. THE KURDISTAN WORKERS PARTY.(PKK), FORMED IN THE 1970S, USES
TERRORIST TACTICS TO ANNOUNCE ITS GOAL OF A KURDISH STATE. THE SRI LANKAN
LIBERATION TIGERS OF TAMIL EELAM ARE MEMBERS OF THE ETHNIC TAMIL MINORITY.
THEY USE SUICIDE BOMBING AND OTHER LETHAL TACTICS TO WAGE A BATTLE FOR

12. RISE OF RELIGIOUS TERRORISM.
• 1990S: THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY: RELIGIOUS TERRORISM AND BEYOND.
• RELIGIOUSLY MOTIVATED TERRORISM IS CONSIDERED THE MOST ALARMING
TERRORIST THREAT TODAY. GROUPS THAT JUSTIFY THEIR VIOLENCE ON ISLAMIC
GROUNDS- AL QAEDA. HAMAS. HEZBOLLAH- COME TO MIND FIRST. BUT
CHRISTIANITY,HINDUISM,BUDDHISM AND OTHER RELIGIONS HAVE GIVEN RISE TO
THEIR OWN FORMS OF MILITANT EXTREMISM.
• IN THE VIEW OF RELIGION SCHOLAR KAREN ARMSTRONG THIS TURN REPRESENTS
TERRORISTS' DEPARTURE FROM ANY REAL RELIGIOUS PRECEPTS. MUHAMMAD ATTA,
THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS, AND ' THE EGYPTIAN HIJACKER WHO
WAS DRIVING THE FIRST PLANE, WAS NEAR ALCOHOLIC AND WAS DRINKING VODKA
BEFORE HE BROADER THE AIRCRAFT. " ALCOHOL WOULD BE STRICTLY OFF LIMITS
FOR A HIGHLY OBSERVANT MUSLIM.
• ATTA, AND PERHAPS MANY OTHERS, ARE NOT SIMPLY ORTHODOX BELIEVERS

17. AL QAEDA AND ISIS
• OSAMA BIN LADEN WAS THE LEADER OF EXTREMIST GROUP AL QAEDA, WHO
WAS MASTERMIND BEHIND THE 9/11 ATTACK ON NEW YORK. HE WAS
INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL SMUGGLING OF OIL AND WEAPONS IN AFGHANISTAN
AND PAKISTAN. OSAMA WAS KILLED BY USA MILITARY AT PAKISTAN ON 2011.
HE WAS WELL KNOWN TERRORIST OF THE WORLD.
• ABU BHAKAR AL BAGHDADI IS THE LEADER OF ISIS, WHICH STAND FOR ISLAMIC
STATE IN IRAQ AND SYRIA. WHO WAS THE FORMER MEMBER OF AL QAEDA. HE
ALONG WITH FORMER GENERALS OF IRAQI DICTATOR SADDAM HUSSAIN
FORMED THE ISIS. THEY HAVE BEEN HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THE BARBARIC ACTS
SUCH AS BOMBINGS AND KIDNAPPING AROUND THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY IN
SYRIA AND IRAQ. THEIR MOST FAMOUS ATTACK WAS PARIS MASSACRE IN
2015. WHERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE GOT INJURED AND DOZENS OF DEATH,
WHICH SHOOK THE WHOLE WORLD.

23. EXPERT ANALYSIS
Expert estimate that an
American's annual risk of
being killed by terrorist is
one in 3.5 million.
One in 9,5000 kills in
road accident.
One in 1.5 million die
from home appliance.
One in 2.9 million die
from commercial airliner.
One in 6000 die from
texting and talking on the
phone while driving.

25. ISIS AND AL QAEDA CREATED BY CIA
THE ISIS USED TO HAVE DIFFERENT NAME: AL QAEDA IN IRAQ. AFTER 2010 THE
GROUP REBRANDED AND REFOCUSED ITS EFFORTS ON SYRIA.
THERE ARE ESSENTIALLY THREE WARS BEING WAGED IN SYRIA: ONE BETWEEN
THE GOVERNMENT AND THE REBELS, ANOTHER BETWEEN IRAN AND SAUDI
ARABIA, AND YET ANOTHER BETWEEN AMERICA AND RUSSIA. IT IS THIS THIRD,
NEO-COLD WAR BATTLE THAT MADE U.S FORIGN POLICY MAKERS DECIDE TO
TAKE THE RISK OF ARMING ISLAMIST REBELS IN SYRIA, BECAUSE SYRIAN
PRESIDENT , BASHAR AL-ASSAD, IS A KEY RUSSIAN ALLY. RATHER
EMBARASSINGLY, MANY OF THESE SYRIAN REBELS HAVE NOE

29. JEWISH TERRORIST
• ACCORDING TO A STUDY BY THE POLITICAL SCIENTIST NEOMI GAL-OR, AFTER
THE CREATION OF ISRAEL, JEWISH TERRORISM HAS BEEN ASSESSED IN ISRAEL
AS 'FAR LESS SIGNIFICANT' THAN ARAB TERRORISM. IT TASTED A FEW YEARS
DURING THE 1950S AND WAS DIRECTED AT INTERNAL ISRAELI-JEWISH
TARGETS, NOT AT THE ISRAELI ARAB POPULATION. THERE WAS THEN A LONG
INTERMISSION UNTIL THE 1980S, WHEN THE JEWISH UNDERGROUND WAS
EXPOSED. HOWEVER, SOME ARGUE THAT IN THE MODERN ERA JEWISH
RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM HAS BEEN GREATLY UNDERESTIMATED. THE
PHENOMENA OF PRICE TAG ATTACKS BEGAN AROUND 2008. THESE ARE HATE
CRIMES DONE BY EXTREMIST SETTLER JEWISH ISRAELI USUALLY INVOLVE THE
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY OR HATEFUL GRAFFITI, PARTICULARLY
TARGETING PROPERTY ASSOCIATED WITH ARABS,CHRISTIAN,SECULAR ISRAELIS,
AND ISRAELI SOLDIERS. THE NAME WAS DERIVED FROM THE WORDS "PRICE
TAG" WHICH MAY BE SCRAWLED ON THE SITE OF THE ATTACK-WITH THE
ALLEGATION THAT THE ATTACK WAS A "PRICE" FOR SETTLEMENTS THE
GOVERNMENT FORCED THEM TO GIVE UP AND REVENGE FOR PALESTINE

ON BUDDHIST MOBS, WHILE SOME SUSPECT THE AUTHORITIES OF HAVING STOKED
THE VIOLENCE- A CHARGE THE COUNTRY NEW QUASI-CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT
DENIES.
• IN SRI LANKA, WHERE A CONSERVATIVE, PRO-BUDDHIST GOVERNMENT REIGNS,
BUDDHIST NATIONALIST GROUPS ARE OPERATING WITH APPARENT IMPUNITY,
LOOTING MUSLIM AND CHRISTIAN ESTABLISHMENTS AND CALLING FOR
RESTRICTION TO BE PLACED ON THE 9% OF THE COUNTRY THAT IS MUSLIM.

THEY WERE STRIPPED OF CITIZENSHIP IN THE 1980S, THE ROHINGYA HAVE BEEN
SUBJECTED OF RACIST AND PROPAGANDA AND BLISTERING VIOLENCE. THE CAMPAIGN
AGAINST THE ROHINGYA AND MUSLIMS IN MYANMAR IS SPEARHEADED BY
CONTROVERSIAL MONK ASHIN WIRATHU.
• WIRATHU HAS WARNED AGAINST AN IMPENDING MUSLIM TAKEOVER OF MYANMAR. IN
2012 THE RAPE, OF BUDDHIST WOMAN IN NORTHERN RAKHINE LED TO VIOLENT ATTACKS
THAT LEFT DOZENS OF CIVILIAN DEAD AND MORE THAN 125,000 ROHINGYA AND
MUSLIMS DISPLACED.

CHARGED WITH TWO BANK ROBBERIES AND BOMBINGS AT THE BANKS. THE MEN WERE
ANTI-SEMESTER CHRISTIAN IDENTITY THEORISTS WHO BELIEVE THAT GOD WANTED

39. RELIGION IS PEACE
• EVERY RELIGION IS BASE ON PEACE NOT ON VIOLENCE, WHETHER IT IS MUSLIM,
HINDU, BUDDHIST OR CHRISTIAN AND IT SUPPORTS THE WELL BEING OF
HUMAN NOT THE BAD. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE
WHO SPREAD VIOLENCE IN THE NAME OF RELIGION. THEY ARE THE
FUNDAMENTALIST, EXTREMIST AND RADICAL, WHOM BELIEVES IN WAR NOT IN
THE PEACE. AND BECAUSE OF THEM WE SHOULD NOT TREAT ALL THE
ORDINARY RELIGIOUS PEOPLE AS A TERRORIST, WHICH HAPPEN TO ORDINARY
MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD. SO, PLEASE RESPECT ALL THE RELIGION AND
PREVAIL PEACE ON THE EARTH.
