Extremism, Radicalism and Terrorism: Causes and Solution in the light of Quranic and Ahadith

Abstract

Although these three terms are widely used, there is no agreed definition of this concept, either at the international or global level, due to the different ideological factors related to these terms in addition to the different cultural and intellectual structures. This phenomenon is not recent, but it has ancient roots. The causes of terrorism, extremism and radicalism, and its motives vary according to the type of action and who issued it (individual, group or state); the act of terrorism, extremism and radicalism at the level of the individual or group, is only an automatic reaction to an external factor or factors that terrorism is an expression of, and these reasons and motives (for terrorism, extremism and radicalism) come multiple and different, and we will clarify them. This study strives to dismantle the vocabulary related to terrorism, extremism and radicalism their forms, causes, ways to get rid of it, and their motives, and to conclude a conclusion, solutions and recommendations that contribute to addressing this phenomenon.
