terrorism in the middle east is a radical group of people who dedicated their lives to fight the enemies of god. (their point of view)\nthey started with fighting the communists in Afghanistan and with the help of the US government they beat the Russians and liberated Afghanistan. then they started fighting their own governments calling them infidels ( because most of the middle east governments are dictators) governments like the Egyptian government started imprisoning all fanatic muslims for no reason after the muslim brotherhood infiltrated the Egyptian army and were able to assassinate the Egyptian president Sadat.\nmost of those who got out of prison later on went to Afghanistan and joined Al-Qaida. they had influence in many countries besides Afghanistan they started killing tourists and local police officers.\nthe terrorism in the middle east basically started for either kicking out occupiers like the Russians and the Israelis or fighting the corrupt governments!!\nthe way they fought this war was absolutely wrong!!!! many innocent people were killed because of their actions.\nbut that's how it all started.

The 'War on terror' is just a political stunt/excuse! Its never waste of time to the war mongers. Establishment of political & economic suprimacy over the others is the main theme of such act of barbarism. The tragedy is, the invaders dictate relationship, they neither make it nor shape it. Its just muscle-men's theory, which don't last long as we see in the history.\nIn the name of war on terror, protection of human rights, democracy, good governance bla-bla-bla, they are trying to destroy peace & harmony in today's world. But in the end, we understand, they will not be spared by the people in the Globe in tomorrows.

Terrorism is killing or threatening to cause physical harm to a civilised society in the name of some cause. Terrorism breeds out of perceived injustice whose advantage is taken by unscrupulous elements. There are different types of terrorism- religion-based, territory-based or state-sponsored.\nIrrespective of the type of terrorism the propagators try to justify it in the name of certain cause or ideology.\n\nReligious Terrorism: Example Al-Qaida who led Muslims to believe that they have been historically mistreated and must fight to avenge that.. Truth is that such people follow no religion because no religion propagates violence.\nTerritory-based Terrorism: Example LTTE in Sri Lanka, ULFA in Assam. They believe that their territory has been 'occupied' to external forces and they must fight to overthrow their oppressors. Truth is, in most cases, these people are greedy to control and exert their power with vested interests and little interest in public welfare.\nState Sponsored: BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS. Example Hitler in Germany, George Bush in USA, Narendra Modi in Gujarat, Musharaf in Pakistan, who use government machinery and armed forces to spread terror. The reason it is so dangerous is because people like Hitler and George Bush have access to tremendous resources, arms and ammunition to attack soft targets to further their propoganda.\n\nRemedies:-\nEvery country must actively co-operate and ensure to root out terrorism from their soil. \nResolving issues through negotiations and via multi-lateral forums like UN.\nAllaying fears in the minds of people, by avoiding 'us against them' and 'clash of civilization'  kind of rhetorics.\nEducating people and providing employment opportunities to disillusioned youth to ensure that they utilize their energy positively.

Has there been?  I think we saw more terrorism in the 80's and 90's then we've seen recently.  Other than 9/11 of course.  Also I think a large part of the perception is what we're calling terrorism.  Firebombing civillian population centers wa standard allied play book in WWII.  Today we'd call targeting civillian populations terrorism.\n\nHiroshima and Nagasaki weren't exactly military targets.\n\nAn even more  unpopular answer to this is the concentration of power, particularly military power.  Both in the U.S. and other countries.\n\nAnswer this question.. What do you do when you believe your country should go to war because of some idea, principal, or even idocy, but the country you want to war against would destroy your army in 3 seconds flat?  How do you wage war against an unbeatable army?\n\nThere are two basic responses to this kind of problem.  Non violent resistance, and guerilla warfare (Terrorism).  Non violent resistance hasn't worked all that well recently because sadly people in power have learned that if you slaughter all the people resisting you non violently the resistance stops and you generally get away with it.\n\nThere is no intervention in this world to save the slaughter of innocents.  (See Darfur.)  \n\nSo if non violence doesn't work, terrorim becomes your only logical option.

Terrorism acts committed around the globe, especially in Middle East are result of the International Relations system itself, which is mutually excluding and does not reflect the actual situation in the sense of power. To put it simpler, hegemon and its allies are multiplying their capabilities while other have no other option than to subvert to them and become "democratic".\nWhat is to be done? Take into consideration other nations' interests, not those who misgovern them, like Mubarak, Abdalla of Jordan, Saudi Royal family etc.

Terrorism is an extreme act in opposition to something or someone you personally value.  \n\nThe "legal right to fight against occupation" is an extreme act in support of something or someone you personally value.\n\nOne person's patriot is another person's terrorist.

Terrorism exists as a cheap and pretty reliable political instrument. It is very easy to get started: in every society there are desperate people who, if worked well with and encouraged enough, may constitute a striking force which can be used by security service of a country as a pressure tool towrds the object country. There is a sophisticated switch on/off mechanism. This is classic, if You want a state-sponsored terrorism.\nThere is another one which is totally unmanageable. It is a new wave we have today. How it works? Issue a fatwa in Internet and proclaim, for instance that killing Americans may bring a direct way to paradise - Paradise NOW! People in remoted areas get inspired and prepare an attack without relying on anyone - what they need is some technical, religious and maybe financial aid. That's it - a hotel is blown up into pieces by a European looking guy without any beard or turban.\nWhy this exists? It is a way of self-expression for those who are committed and ambidextrous tool for power-interested groups/governments.

Some of the first recorded incidents of "terrorism" is in Mesopotamia around the city states of UR.   Some records mentioned constant "raids" against villages in neighboring kingdoms.   It was not full scale war, but rather small groups that attacked outlying posts for various reasons (food,slaves, bad king, government grudge, etc..

You probably mean Islam, which is NOT the root of all terrorism. Haven't you ever heard of radical Christians blowing up abortion clinics in the name of jesus? Or the bloody fighting in Ireland?  \n\nThere are terrorists of every religion. No religion has any exclusive lock on being a terrorist, and the root of terrorism is ignorance and fanaticism\n\nToo many people know too little about Islam, and form their beliefs about it and its followers based solely on what the evening news wants you to think.
