TERRORISM - could someone please explain?

Question

Could someone please explain why terrorism exists. Why is our Government hated so much? Why would would someone allow themselves to be brainwashed to the extent they are prepared to blow themselves up, killing inocent people?

Answer 1

religious fanatism is the root of terrorism. poverty and revenge is the fertiliser to these roots.

there are religious fanatics , who drag poor people into terrorism on the name of religion. a happy man would never induldge into it. this is a vicious circle, the government acts as a voilent dictator to clean terrorism. The avariciousness of power, stature, money, position and the chair drives them to kill innocent people. this leads to revenge by the sufferers , who lost their near and dears, and it is like a chain reaction.

Answer 2

Terrorism is a tactic used for all time to gain control over others. This is not a new thing.

I don't know why they hate your government (I'm assuming you are British), but a lot of countries hate the hypocracy of American foreign policy and these tactics they use are the poor mans answer to military force.

And then you have the kids who grow up bombarded with these images and skewed beliefs.

Its VERY easy to warp the mind of a young man so that by the time he's in his late twenties and onward its gospel.

I don't really understand it but I do know its not a simple thing and thinking of it as such makes the situation much more dangerous. Especially when they are getting to people brought up in England, USA, Canada and the like. People who have NEVER been to the middle east and have no real idea about the culture.

Not only do the groups have to be exterminated but the thoughts and ideas that permiate throughout them has to go too or more WILL die!!!!

Answer 3

Some people believe in minimum resources for maximum impact. A single coordinated terrorist acttack killing a few hundred people, using a handful of people and a minimum of resources, could result in an impact greater than a multimillion dollar invasion of a small country.

If you grew up thinking the sky is "yellow" and your friends and family all say the sky is "yellow". Are you "allowing" yourself to be brainwashed that the sky is yellow? How would you know otherwise?

Answer 4

Economic disparity, exploitation of Foreign resources and meddling in foreign politics in order to exploit foreign resource, cultural shock in adapting to western ideology and advanced technology in the face of deep rooted ethnic tradition that goes back century’s if not millennia.
All growing pains of overpopulation, limited resource, and dispersant standards of living coupled with failures of religious and ethnic tradition to adapt to the evolution of intellectual comprehension of the natural world.
A general lack of patience, perseverance, empathy and understanding by advanced Western culture for the general purposes of self serving greed when dealing with populations that have neither the education nor the means to keep up with let alone utilize western technology.
If your dear ones are killed or maimed in a clash of culture, for a time you or I would be susceptible to sacrificing our lives in retribution toward the invading culture that was or is the catalyst of the demise of our loved ones, it’s just humane nature. Speed kills and vendication follows no logic save gut emotional reaction to traumatic grief.

Answer 5

Because that's the kind of crap they're taught over in their culture. What blows MY mind is just how many idiots here think tolerating them is the answer!

Answer 6

It is against the love. People are living because of only loving each other,so nobody accepts terrorism.It is a cruel thing without love.

Answer 7

Desperation and belief that they lack of access to the means to change their situation.
