Why violence?

No justification, economical, sociological, political explanation can verify the terror. In exchange for that, also, the violence and the experienced terror cannot prevent questions about the sources of terror being asked and these questions being questioned within the world politics.


When the previous jihad movement’s leader, Osama Bin Laden, had been killed, I had written as follows: 


There was no doubt that Al Qaida’s leader Osama Bin Laden’s mercilessness had been pointing at the new definition of terror and terrorism.


However, there is also no doubt that the same person is being regarded as a hero for another world. In years, Bin Laden had become a symbolic name which meant people would be mourning.


This contradictivşe situation is pointing at the essential issue, the existence of a quality political and communal conflict between the two different worlds and the sides in this conflict.


In this case, it would be natural to seek an answer for the following questions:


What kind of a side is the one that supports the violence?


What kind of a place is the place where the attacks are coming from?


The answer is clear with its main lines…


This side, in other words, the place where the attacks are coming from, is an area that is outside human rights, democracy and prosperity elements of the modern civilization. It is the field in the middle of the scoria, inequalities and injustices created by modern civilization.


Then, in order to prevent this type of attacks, while taking precautions and severely punishing the attacker, it’s also inevitable to lay hands on the world of injustices and inequalities or to review that world. Likewise, the terrorism and terrorist, as much as being anonymous time to time, is reproducing within the cultures, which are excluded and humiliated both within the national borders and on the international field.


Today, around 1.2 billion people are living with less than a dollar a day. One out of every four children is at the hunger limit.  While the income of 20 percent of the richest in the world population was 30 times the poorest 20 percent of the population in 1960, this difference had gone up to 85 times in 1995, and to 225 times in 1997. As of now, the income of the 225 richest people is equal to 47 percent of the world population, in other words, 2.5 billion people’s incomes.


From the East to the Middle East and Africa, the Muslims are present at the center of this oppressed world. Not only economically, but they are also feeling the exclusion with the political and cultural sanctions they are encountering.


We should be searching for the root of the globalization of the Islamic identity, and how it’s taking the form of an impedance and resistance that makes the violence privileged here.


Most of the time, another socialization produces the loss or the threat of the minimum economic opportunity, pride and value.


Injustice provokes violence.


What we have to see is this:


Terror actions are facing us as the sociological and economical price of the policies and methods, which are developed in order to preserve and protect the world and regional layout.


Besides, this price is not only economic and cultural: at the same time, ethical and political…


It’s best not to forget that weapon civilization feeds the terror.


Unfortunately, weapons are writing the history, not the mind….


Happy Bayram…
