Can Terrorism Ever Be Justified Essay

1127 Words5 Pages

Can terrorism ever be justified? What is terrorism? “The unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.” It is unofficial and unauthorized, how can it be justified? In my opinion terrorism cannot be justified. It is an act of violence that can never be explained. In order to answer the essay question, we need to be able to decide whether a group is a terrorist group or not. This seems relatively simple however, if we were to look at two groups regarded as terrorist organisations in the Middle East, The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon, we can see that they are actually quitequiet different.

People should open their eyes and see that the people who hate Muslims are trying to create a bad reputation of them. After that, they are sending ‘Muslims’ to kill. But these fake Muslims are actually killing the real Muslims. People should just think. But who are those people? It’s a

    Terrorism uses violence to solve their problems, which spreads panic over society. Using fear in order to gain power is a common method, but in terms of moral correctness, no religion can justify the murdering of large masses of people. Life is precious and religion, especially Christianity, emphasis how valuable life is.
