What are the consequences of eschatological terrorism?

when we talk of eschatological, it is better to define it first. Eschatological = The branch of theology that is concerned with the end of the world or of humankind or a belief or a doctrine concerning the ultimate or final things, such as death, the destiny of humanity, the Second Coming, or the Last Judgment. Terrorism has been defined as "the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. People will say that leader of sect or religions have the religion Connotation for the causes of terrorism. No matter is it said, no matter who the terrorism is comming from, the pricipal motivation is politics. While the 1980s saw a growth of politically inspired terrorism, the 1990s has seen a dramatic increase in terrorism motivated by a religious agenda. As a result, intelligence experts have claimed that we may well be witnessing an emerging trend and shift away from terrorism motivated by political ideology towards a dominant religious terrorism warranting a revision of our notions of the stereotypical terrorist organization. This trend has received some attention within the intelligence and law enforcement communities, and should should be of particular interest to individuals and organizations involved in monitoring extremist and new religious groups and movements, especially with regards to the U.S. domestic terrorism threat.

What are Hamas Fatah and Hezbollah?

All three of these groups are Jihadist terrorist organizations with a number of discernible characteristics. The most common and identifiable Muslim terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself. Muslim terrorist organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Therefore, Muslim terrorist organizations will identify what sect of Islam they belong to and whether or not they oppose the other sects. Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy. Some "moderate" non-associated clerics have defended these activities claiming that the civilians represent part of the group that "is opposed to Islam". Since Muslim terrorists exist in countries with a weak internal support structure, in many cases such as with Hezbollah, Hamas, or Fatah, they will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Muslim terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Fatah have all actively engaged in elections (Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Fatah in Palestine) with their own political parties. If the governments formed after these elections were not desirable to these parties, they engaged in military actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. In the case of Hezbollah this created a violent stand-off in Beirut and in the case of Hamas and Fatah, this prompted a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank.

How do you view Hamas in the Palestinian Territories?

Hamas was originally created as a resistance front against Israeli occupation to the intentionally recognized Palestinian territories.

I am personally against Hamas policy of retaliation and I prefer to get political problems solved peacefully with international community support. However, it is very difficult to give a fair view on Hamas unless you get answers to:

  • if you are in place of Hamas, how do you think you can get your rights in your lands and homes while the occupier denies these rights and the international community doesn't care?.
  • How many Israelis were killed by Hamas rockets? to my information: None
  • How many Palestinians were killed and injured by Israeli attacks on Gaza? to my information: Thousands.
  • How many Palestinians were killed by the settlers before starting firing Hamas rockets; since the British occupation of Palestine before Israel State recognition in 1948 and through 1967 war and after Oslo 1991 peace agreement; and without single world condemnation?
  • What do you expect from people got driven away from their homes and lands and other people, from all over the world, were brought as settlers to replace them?
  • Why Gaza, of the highest population density in the world, is fully isolated by the Israelis?
  • Is resistance against occupiers considered terrorism?

Why US forces cannot or do not want to wipe out the Taliban?

There's a lot more to military strategy than simply wiping the opposition out. The Taliban are formed from the majority ethnic group in Afghanistan - that ethnic group will continue to be there long after operations in Afghanistan have ceased, and are always going to have relevance in Afghan society. Could we bomb a whole mountain into oblivion for the sake of wiping out a few Taliban leaders? Certainly. But, it would alienate that ethnic group further, which would ultimately be detrimental to the mission in Afghanistan, which is not simply limited to unseating the Taliban and eliminating key Al-Qaeda targets, but also creating a secure and stable country within the borders of Afghanistan.
