Definition of Terrorism - Islam or Democratic Nations Definition of 'Terrorism' Critical issue - to gain Full International Acceptance of ONE definition The News media of the world suggest that there is no clear definition of 'Terrorism' - Factbook disagrees with this statement - INSTEAD suggests that there has been:- " no international agreement of a single definition of 'Terrorism', signed off by all nations in the civilised world." There is a need for every individual on the planet to know, understand what constitutes terrorism. Given that the world is entering a 'sea change' - in terms of pre-defined and a clear set of international actions in the fight against international terrorism, there is a need for all nations of the world to sign off on the same definition. The sanctions against organisation, government, company or individual should also be clarified so that those who are found associated with terrorist activities have 'no defence' against globally imposed penalties. UK Government - Definition of Terrorism Outside the condition of a 'declared war' the use of action or threat of action, for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause, which: - a) involves serious violence against any person or property, b) endangers the life of any person, or c) creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public. NOW CONSIDER THE CHASM BETWEEN THE PEOPLES OF ISLAM Fifth Islamic Summit - Definition of Terrorism Islam (Resolution 20/5-P (1.5) of the Fifth Islamic Summit) attempts to legitimize & differentiate as separate from terrorism:- 'the struggle of peoples for their acknowledged national causes and the liberation of their territories. ' Summary Extract of Islamic Definition of Terrorism (view entire page) We shall confirm that the definition of Terrorism does not apply to the following: a. acts of national resistance exercised against occupying forces, colonizers and usurpers; b. resistance of peoples against cliques imposed on them by the force of arms; c. rejection of dictatorships and other forms of despotism and efforts to undermine their institutions; d. resistance against racial discrimination and attacks on the latter's strongholds; e. retaliation against any aggression if there is no other alternative. The above definition of Terrorism, however, does apply to the following: a. acts of piracy on land, air and sea; b. all colonialist operations including wars and military expeditions; c. all dictatorial acts against peoples and all forms of protection of dictatorships, not to mention their imposition on nations; d. all military methods contrary to human practice, such as the use of chemical weapons, the shelling of civilian populated areas, the blowing up of homes, the displacement of civilians, etc.; e. all types of pollution of geographical, cultural and informational environment. Indeed, intellectual terrorism may be one of the most dangerous types of terrorism; f. all moves that undermine adversely affect the condition of international or national economy, adversely affect the condition of the poor and the deprived, deepen up nations with the shackles of socioeconomic gaps, and chain up nations with the shackles of exorbitant debts; g. all conspiratorial acts aimed at crushing the determination of nations for liberation and independence, and imposing disgraceful pacts on them. The list of examples that fit in with the suggested definition is almost endless. Islamic nations must make their position clear about whether they support:- international law or international terrorism http://www.al-islam.org/al-tawhid/definition-terrorism.htm [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
