INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM AS A SECURITY PROBLEM VIEWED THROUGH THE PRISM OF VIOLENCE AND FEAR

Summary/Abstract: Two categories of terms, violence and fear, which are characteristic of modern society, are linked to terrorism as a third social category which is viewed from a scientific perspective as a serious security and global problem. The starting point when looking at these three categories is a multidimensional and global approach to each of them, the reaction of society to the events that preceded it, the consequences caused by terrorist activities and ways of anti-terrorist action. Terrorism, after the attack on the United States of America, became a threat to the symbols of the American security and economic establishment, which remained shocked by the spiral of fear set by the terrorists for future action. With the event of September 11, a different view of terrorism entered the world stage, called international terrorism, the effects of which were the great media attention, in the domestic and world public, that the terrorists from the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization under the leadership of Osama bin Laden received. The West was furious with Islamic fundamentalists who had done something that could only be speculated about in American circles, which was to have one of the most powerful countries attacked at home, in its own backyard. Countries that were facing terrorism tried to get answers to questions like how to prevent terrorism, how to define it and what sanctions to take against terrorists. The answer was to recognize which forms of violence and fear can turn into terrorist actions and the prescribed penal provisions of the law that provides for sanctions. From the point of view of analysts of various sciences, seen as a struggle of Islam against the West, terrorism has fought for its place in scientific study and prediction of previously unknown events and activities that the world will move through at the beginning of the 21st century. Precisely this dimension of international action was the turning point for terrorism to be condemned as an act full of violence, terror, fear, uncertainty and marked as an invisible enemy that has no state and territory and against which even America cannot fight unless its allies are with it.
