The people of the world face
personal and collective danger from the spread of terrorism. What exactly is
terrorism? Well, there are many different definitions out there. However, these
definitions have certain things in common. Terrorism involves extraordinary
violence. It is intended to create massive fear and involves a planned attack
for a purpose, often against something or someone. Terrorism cannot be justified
under any valid interpretation of the Islamic or non-Islamic, faith. Scholars
from every faith speak out against terrorism in all its forms, same the way its
fact that violence cannot stop violence. We have to break the cycle of violence,
renounce violence, start practicing creative active nonviolence on a level that
the world has never seen, and reach out and embrace the world’s poor by meeting
their every need. Then, we will win over the world, and no one will ever want to
hurt a Westerner again. On that new day, we will sow the seeds of love and peace
and discover what a world without terrorism, war, poverty, and fear is like
today. Therefore I think we can stop violence or terrorism by adopting dome
other ways let us see other means helpful in reducing terrorism.
Reciprocal respect Inter religions
There is no doubt that the need for inter-religious respect has become even more
pressing today., One vast field for the promotion of peace and reducing the
terrorism is respect of each others religion and coexistence among the faithful
is cooperation among followers of all religions. The concept of inter-religious
respect and coexistence must extend to include also the removal of causes of
tension, turmoil, and instability in many parts of the world,. Inter-religious
respect will thus can be an efficient instrument for supporting the efforts
directed to the achievement of peace, the knitting of sound relations among
peoples and nations under the scope of international law, the respect for human
rights and the concretization of the basic freedoms stipulated in international
covenants, treaties and agreements and reducing tension. Inter-religious respect
must be geared toward supporting all the people subject to refrain from making
injustice and unfavorable comments which may cause tension among the religion
like recently excitative event of making cartoon of holy prophet (PBUH), which
resulted in problem and tension among the religions in this circumstance its
duty of states to circumstances without exception, compelling the perpetrators
of these kind of events to justice, persecution and punish them at the state
level , community or individual level, to observe the rules of international law
and abide by the teachings of the revealed religions and boycott this kind of
dirty mind person who wants to disturb our peace.
Dialogue among civilizations
One of the most important methods of conflict resolution is through effective
communication channels between different civilizations/ religious communities so
that rumors can be squashed and problems solved before they become too big.
Dialogue is an important aspect of human life and a significant category of
social activities, the year 2001 was designated by the United Nations as “the
Year of Dialogue among Civilizations” at the dawn of the new millennium. It was
a major move based on relevant resolutions adopted by three successive UN
General Assemblies and promoted vigorously by the United Nations. Persistent
progress of dialogues among civilizations or cultures will not only benefit the
healthy development of human civilization, but also be conducive to the healthy
evolution of international relations.
Dialogue is crucially important. We must replace confrontation with dialogue.
President Khatami said that “among the worthiest achievements” of the 20th
century are the “acceptance of the necessity and significance of dialogue and
rejection of force”. Elevation of human civilization, whether at national or
international level, “is contingent upon dialogue among societies and
civilizations representing various views, inclinations and approaches”. If
humanity at the beginning of the new century and millennium “devotes all efforts
to institutionalizing dialogue, replacing hostility and confrontation with
discourse and understanding, it would leave an invaluable legacy for the benefit
of the future generations”. Former UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros Ghali
said that only through sustained state-to-state dialogue and exchange of views,
would it be possible to promote democratization of international relations,
which would serve as the foundation of the world peace. He added, “War and
conflicts originate in human hearts and minds. We should hold dialogue with
souls of the people … our hopes for a new type of interstate relationship may be
realized through cross cultural exchanges and dialogue.”. Abstractly speaking,
it is a form of interaction among social forces; a means either for
communication or avoiding conflicts and moderating confrontations. Therefore no
one can deny of the importance of the dialogues among civilization, cultures or
states and it is also necessary that dialogue must be on the equality basis.
Education
Few would deny that education is one of the most important cornerstones of all
human societies. Education is one of the important pillars upon which a state
can raise of fall. We all say that an educated person can differentiate well
between god and evil, right and wrong, sounds good and realistic. In many
undeveloped/ least developed countries education is not widely available to all
citizens. Many of the boys and young in these countries get their education.
Education as a very important element to any nation; an educated nation is a
powerful nation and knowledge is power. Public education is the most important;
everything depends on it, the present and the future. Good education is the only
way one can break the cycle of poverty and ignorance, and to fight terrorism In
his first annual address to congress on January 8, 1790, President Washington
said that education was “the security of a free constitution” …that, through
education, a free people would know and value “their own rights”…and would be
able to “discriminate the spirit of liberty from that of licentiousness.
Employment
Unemployment/poverty has contributed to heightened terrorism. Around 200 million
youth, or 18 per cent of all youth, live on less than one dollar a day, and 515
million on less than two dollars a day. It is estimated that globally, some 100
million youth are currently enrolled in university-level education.
Unemployment/Poverty is a leading factor to extremism and terrorism in
developing countries and this can be carried to developed countries. In the
recent years, terrorists are increasingly recruiting poor and vulnerable youths
and exploiting them for their selfish purposes. The continued deterioration of
the status of youth, who face growing levels of marginalization, epidemic
diseases, functional illiteracy and substance abuse are some of the major
socio-economic challenges facing the youth. Unemployment also has severe
damaging effects on young people. They suffer low self-esteem, exclusion from
mainstream society and impoverishment. Rather than battling extremists, I think
developed countries must expend resources battling against unemployment problems
that face people in developing countries. I can boldly say that decrease
Unemployment solves Terrorism
Media role
The role of the media – even the “classic” media, such as newspapers, radio, and
television – has changed over the years, has by and large played a positive role
in fighting against terrorism. But there is still need to be honest it mean
present each and every thing to the general public without any bias. One of the
major functions of the mass media is the provision of adequate information about
ongoing or current events in society as a way of serving the public need to
know.
Repeated broadcast of the two aircrafts crashing into the two towers of the
World Trade Centre in the 9.11 attack, same the way its duty of media to report
the casualties of civilian caused by UN forces in Afghanistan and same the way
in Waziristan in drone strikes or nuclear program of Iran and, same the way
media must high light Nuclear program of Israel.
