| Summary: | The Thesis states Global Terrorism, is a global project
that has no direct place or time is an interesting approach. Although the
reason of terrorism has been come down to difference between civilizations and
religions; that is not the case. Another reason which is argued is that Muslims
are unable to integrate into Western societies. However this is not unique to
Muslims, it is also a problem for non-Muslim immigrants.
Another problem is whether Islam is compatible with
democracy or not. Most of the Islamic countries have despotic and oppressive
regimes which are economically, politically and socially unstable. However this has nothing to do
with Islam. Hundreds years of colonization did not let democratic values and
institutions to develop in these countries. Lack of non-governmental
organizations in Islamic world; caused these countries to become either a
secular despotic or an Islamic oppressive regime.
Both situations create an environment for radical groups to exist. To eradicate terrorism, one has to look
for its political and economical reasons. The despotic regimes in Islamic
countries have to be removed and United States and other Western countries should change their mentality while dealing with terrorism.
