Terrorism as a Global Security Threat

Abstract

When and how does the ultra-right-wing terrorism period close as their mean in politics with the goal of deterrence and the destruction of the capitalist order? Why does the “Arabian jihad” shift its priorities from the “close enemy” to the “far enemy”? Why did terrorist violence appear more often, in the last couple of decades, in the countries where Muslims are the majority, or why are the perpetrators, in terms of terrorist acts, mostly Muslims? These are the questions which are in the academic discussion centre and analysis of our paper. The paper identifies the causes and discusses the “us” and “them” polarization. The goal is to explain what is behind these paroles through the analysis of world’s authors: “War against terrorism”, “Unity of a nation”, and “The just war”. From a theoretical and empirical point of view, emphasizing of the Islamic component in terrorism is unfair at least. We used qualitative research methods, including the desk research, to obtain necessary data to give answers on our research questions.
