Terrorism and its centuries challenges

PhD (C.) Jonida Drogu

Abstract

The goal of this article is to portray how to be er understand the epistemic di erences of

terminology used for terrorism and how people’s lives have been and are still a ected by

this undefi ned violence. By collecting some diary information from 20people about their

perception about terrorism a aches we will analyze some of overall countries and Saudi

Arabia’s commitment in fi ghting this century’s challenge. Fighting radical religious beliefs

in the Kingdom is an immense challenge. The true Islamic faith is in large contrast to those

individuals and entities whose actions are centered on the intentional misrepresentation or the

degradation of the teachings of Islam.

The base of this data will indicate the progress within Saudi Arabia, its position in the world

prospect and its impact in society since it remains a robust construction even now days, even

thought, a lot has been done.

The fi rst signs provided in this analysis start with the beginning of the new century, when a

strong a ack happened just days before it began. Some important indicators such as terrorism

founding, or money charities caused many changes in Saudi Arabia as a leading power, in the

war against terrorism in Middle East.

Keywords: terrorism, violence, extremists, civilians, transnational terrorism.

Introduction

Saudi Arabia, the country that encompasses most of the Arabian Peninsula, with Red

Sea and Persian (Arabian) Gulf coastlines is known as the birthplace of Islam and

home to the Two Holy Mosques, is lately an a ractive strategic target of extremists

who seek to redefi ne Islam for their own nihilistic purposes. The golf country as one

of the leading nations in combating terrorism and terror fi nancing, has been working

closely with its allies to change the mindset that terror organizations rely on.

By defi ning the frequent use of the term terrorism, during this paper, we would

fi rstly like to understand in a correct way the frequent used meaning of it, based

on several resources. “Terrorism is the use of violence and intimidation, especially

against civilians, o en in the pursuit of political aims”(Eubank and Weinberg, 1994).

But there is no universal agreement on the defi nition of terrorism. It’s not a surprise

that various legal systems and governmental institutions use di erent defi nitions

of this term. In many countries, the defi nition of the term changes its accepted

comprehensive defi nition, due to this, it is di cult to get a correct middle ground of

all the formulations.

The Global Terrorism Index calculates that around 64,000 people were killed by

acts of terrorism between the years 2002-2011. This is a startling illustration of how

“terrorism has become one of the most pressing political problems during the last

half-century” (Whi aker, 2007). Yet academics, policy makers, and law enforcement
