    1432 Words  | 6 Pages

    Normally, people look at religion as a tool for peace and rarely associate it with violence. In reality, religion has been used as a tool to justify violence for centuries. In the book called ‘Is Religion Killing Us?’, the author, Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, critically examines the sacred scriptures of the major religions including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism to unveil despicable portraits of a violent God. According to Pallmeyer, each sacred text is dominated by what he calls ‘violence-of-God-tradition’. He does not believe that the texts directly instigate the human violence, but they justify the use of violence amid the conflicts in which antagonistic parties see religious differences as divisions.

    Many people have given their lives to further the growth of the Church throughout the world and indeed many have admitted that even if God Himself were to visit them and suggest Joseph Smith was not really His messenger, they would not believe him, but would rather believe in Joseph Smith. This type of fanatical belief is indicative of how this belief has grown and perhaps that it may well be considered in the realm of “cultism” as well as simple religion? This type of fanatical belief is not limited to the Mormon Church. Indeed you find it in the Catholic Church and many of the southern Baptist churches and other protestant faiths throughout the world and certainly in the Moslem religion.

    We have shown that some of these parts are accepted by most Muslims (War on terror as a War on Islam) and some parts are rejected by most Muslims (attacking civilians). Yet even the accepted part, that there is supposedly a war on Islam going on, represents only a single mechanism of radicalization ? group grievance. A completely effective attack on this grievance would yet leave eleven other mechanisms of radicalization in play. We conclude tentatively that even eliminating the perception of a War on Islam may not have, at least in the short term, a large effect on the rate of

  • Boaz Ganor's Definition Of Terrorism

    1291 Words  | 6 Pages

    Ganor agrees with this idea in that any state can currently define what terrorism actually is according to their perspective and worldview, although he disagrees that they should subjectively be able to define the word in the first place (292). Throughout the piece, Ganor stresses the importance of an international definition of “terrorism” being accepted as many factions can abuse the current ambiguous definition of the word. This ambiguity allows any state to decide and define what violent acts can fall under the category of being committed by a “terrorist” or a “freedom fighter”. If a singular worldwide definition of the word “terrorism” is adopted, many different issues can be resolved such as countries and organizations being held responsible for carrying out terrorist attacks (Ganor 289). Under the current national law, “organizations are not specifically prohibited from perpetrating actions that are considered illegal and abhorrent when carried out by sovereign states” (Ganor 289).

    The world today is facing a crisis and there seems to be no resolution in sight. The war on terrorism has been going on for many, many years and it appears as if the leaders of the world are baffled as to stop it or if nothing else, control it. Many scholars have a difficult time attempting to define a good definition for the word terrorism. Many believe it is a difficult word to define because there are so many interruptions to the word. It will depend on what part of the country one is in, but for the universal approach to the definition many believe terrorism is “the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce esp for political purposes” (Dyson, 2012, p. 19).

    1569 Words  | 7 Pages

    War on Religion There is a belief among people that declares religion as the main cause of wars worldwide, and it has been the main cause of violence throughout the history of humanity. While we cannot deny that, some battles such as the crusades and the Lebanese civil war were based on religious faith, it is totally illogical to consider religion as the main cause of wars. Moreover, although there is also no disagreement that some extremist in Islam were behind 9/11, it is considered a misjudgment to say that all individuals in this religion convey the concept of violence and cruelty. The fact is non-religious incentives take the responsibility for almost all of humans’ wars. Lives lost during religious wars are nothing compared to those lost during non-religious wars.so why people believe that religion is the cause of wars, why they are wrong and do the extremist represent religions?
