International Terrorism attributed to Muslims, has its root in the - TopicsExpress



          

International Terrorism attributed to Muslims, has its root in the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. All recent terrorist organisations have its root from the Mujahedeen fighters of Afghanistan, notably Taliban and followers of Bin Laden. After Soviet withdrawal, the west left Afghanistan in a mess. From this mess rose Taliban and Al Qaeda by US/Saudi funding and the dawn of Muslim terrorism started in the 20th century. It is noteworthy to consider that the term terrorist organisation is attributed to groups or organisations under the specific laws of countries. There is no global consensus on what constitutes a terrorist organisation. United states designates terrorist organisation on the three principle criterion: a) The organisation must be foreign b) Must possess threat to US national security. c) Engage in terrorist activities FBI defines terrorist activities as: International terrorism means activities with the following three characteristics: Involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law; Appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and Occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S., or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum.* The definition does not only include harm to innocent human lives, but also any action aimed at influencing policy of the government. This is a dangerous standard for if the policy of exploitation and subjugation is taken even resistance against this would be considered terrorist act. However under point iii are not the actions of US/UK/CIA/MOSSAD terrorist? Also point b above states that, a threat to national security is posed. If we take Israels mass destruction of Palestinian homes and murder of innocent civilians we will see these actions of barbarism, under US definition of terrorism, is not counted as terrorist acts, as Israel is part of US national interest. By these draconian laws USA and its allies have marginalised any form of armed resistance from the Muslims, against Jewish Zionist aggression or American and its allies aggression. The point I wish to make is, not to be motivated by medias role of portraying violence as terrorism from Muslim armed resistance, but also to take in to consideration the underlying factors and reasons of such armed resistance and its cause of existence, and to measure equally all by the law. If we take in to consideration terrorism meaning as only inflicting harm to innocent civilians then everyone who does so is a terrorist, every nation who does so is a terrorist, and which nations of west or east do not do it in one point or the other in time? So stop focusing on Muslims. Resistance against invasion and aggression is an inalienable right given by international law...
