What is Terrorism?

What is Terrorism?

There is always a question in our minds that what is terrorism? In fact, it has two points in it. There is legality question that how to punish those who commit such heinous act which cannot be forgiven by any means. The act of terrorism has caused social unrest to the magnitude that citizens of that nations are at state of panic. Therefore, the central government must ensure social well being of its citizens as Max Weber says that government has monopoly of power to create social order. It can be said confidently that perpetrators would not go without punishment in order to establish social order and security in society.

There is also this side of point that terrorist groups may be held as heroes by others. Since, terrorism is defined as weapon of weak to retaliate against unjust that they endured during their past times. It brings this idea forward that the US in the past dropped two atomic bombs in Japan. Slaughtering three million Vietnamese. Destroying Iraq and turning it into stone ages. Afghanistan will never become a free country and North African nations like Libya will remain in a state of anarchy. Does that make the US a terrorist state or not? Why is the US allow to wage these kind of wars without any kind of United Nations firm responses against the US?

We need peace and love. Not policy of death, destruction and revenge.
