Terrorism

Terrorism is one of the biggest problems for every country. It is a curse for every country. Terrorism has become one of the most important news items these days. Web blogs, Magazines, Newspapers every where there is a spurt of articles related to terrorism. Many crimes are done by terrorist. Though a lot is being written and discussed about this topic, I feel that most of the discussions lack truth and clarity. Sometimes we see that many terrorist are doing crimes. But when we saw about these crimes in newspapers, web blogs and magazines then are wonder because these writes lack of truth and clarity. Again, sometimes many terrorist said that these crimes were done by Muslims by the name of ‘Jihad’ though it was not true.

Many reasons are available for terrorism. All terrorist acts are mainly motivated by three reasons.

1. Poverty is the main reasons for terrorism. Many terrorist acts are motivated by poverty.

2. Many terrorists in history said that they chose terrorism after long deliberation because they felt they had no choice.

3. Social and political injustices are also main reasons for terrorism. People choose terrorism when they are trying to right what they perceive to be a social or political or historical wrong when they have been stripped of their land or rights.

If the every government should take proper steps for this problem, terrorism must be removed from every country.
