how the terrorism could be eliminated in Muslim culture?

Answer 1

dunno, very good question though. i think it cud never be eliminated, people are always going to blame islam for peoples actions and that really annoys me!

Answer 2

Terrorism is no part whatsoever of Muslim culture.

Remember the first suicide attack outside of the Japanese harakiri, was performed by the American jew Baruch Goldstein AGAINST muslims in a mosque in Israel in the 1990's.

I don't understand how it can be that violent or agressive acts performed by a state are called WAR and thus receive it seems a moral approval - while the same acts performed by people without a state or military body is TERRORISM.

Terrorism has always been there (it used to be named rather rebellion) but has never been part of a culture, less even muslim culture.

The question should be : WHAT has happened that all of a sudden, in a timescale of not even 30 years, suicide attacks have become part of daily life. How desperate or angry must YOU be before you would commit such an act ?

Then you have your answer.

Answer 3

Terrorism can't be eliminated from any mono-theistic culture. There is no moral or ethical difference between Muslims blowing up office buildings, Christians dragging gays to their death behind pick-up trucks and blowing up abortion clinics, or the Jewish Judge Samson murdering Philistines because he lost a bet. Murder is murder, done in the name of religion or not. Go back far enough, historically, and religious oppression began with Ikhnaton's attempt to impose mono-theism on Egypt, and ended with his death, not to appear again until the Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Cultures change when the people who make them up change, not before, and such change can only come from within, imposing it by force, as Iraq is showing, is waste of time, resources and lives.

Answer 4

Maybe the terrorism wouldn't occur, or be seen as even remotely acceptable, if there weren't foreign forces occupying their land, and killing their people, as in Iraq.

As I recall Islam allows them to retaliate, or even do preemptive strikes, but their motives have to be defensive. So if you eliminate the defensive motive, the terrorists would be looked down upon all the more.

But seriously these are just people using religion as an excuse to be rebels, to feel that they can make a difference. They need to be seen as not being real Muslims.

Answer 5

Oh Lucas, get off it, I think the question harkens to centuries of Islamic violence against infedels and its own, not acrimony in Israel. I sincerely doubt the victims of the Armenian genocide were much concerned about Gaza. This behavior dates to Omar, Saladin, Abu Bakr and Mohammed himself. It is part and parcel of Islamic faith and politics. It's a very simple tenet, if you don't like it, destroy it and claim you're doing so in the name of God.

Islam claims its culture is superior to any other. It also leans heavily on Arabs being a master race. We all know where this kind of philosophy leads, carnage. Institutionalized carnage.

The only way to divorce this tradition from violence is to stop rewarding the violence with excuses and alienate those who would destroy their fellow human being and the rest of civilization in the name of religion.

A good example is the acts of Hamas recently. Why sow unrest among your own? Historically when there was no hot war with Israel the neighboring factions attacked each other, often at the same time. This is the culture of hate and violence this traditon has fostered. The same thing was going on long before the 20th Century.

Further the Goldstein incident was not a suicide attack because there is no evidence the attacker meant to end his own life in the commission of the terrorist act. Don't forget Kamakazi attacks 60 years ago. The suicide attack is nothing new, it dates back to antiquity.

Answer 6

Terrorism exists in all religions. Look at Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing. He was a Christian fanataic. Look at Hitler - he was Catholic who called himself the "Solider of Christ". Terrorism is not just found in Islam.

Answer 7

terrorism, or at least this type of terrorism would end, if we got rid of religious fundamentalism. It is people who think, that because they believe in God, or Allah, or whatever, that they are the ultimate moral authority.
"Without religion good men will do good, and evil men will do evil, but it takes religion for good men to do evil."

Answer 8

By following Gods law and not mans ego, pride or selfish desires...period

Answer 9

It can't. Muslims are taught from an early age that anyone not a muslim should be killed. They even use Micky Mouse look alikes to tell children that killing Jews is their responsibility to allah.
