ETHICS IN TERRORISM ?
ETHICS IN TERRORISM ?

Summary/Abstract: Terrorism started, with organizations like Al-Qaeda, to cross the borders of the states in which they fought their war and made the people from all over the world to fell insecure and threatened by terrorist attacks. The global war on terror which the United States and it’s allies began, especially the methods they used, regarding the prisoners was put into question by human rights organizations and world media. We participated and are still taking part in the global war against terror. We generally see those who fight for their own causes as being terrorists but the question that emerges is “Are they really terrorists?” The answer is hard to discover but we must take into account that these people in the opinion of the masses which support them are the freedom fighters to whom they can look up to and can realize their dreams of independence, social justice or whatever goal their fighting for. Somehow in this war we must find a way to cover the gap between the lack of ethics on the side of the terrorists and on our side because the methods that the democracies are forced to use against them can sometimes lead to disaster. So is their a line we can draw between a just ethics of terrorism or not? Can we still make the difference between the just ethics of Islam and the ethics of fundamentalists? Should we view Muslims as potential terrorists?
