distributors and a major supplier of terrorism in North Africa, the Middle East and beyond these regions is the so-called radical Islam.He always manifested in different ways, but the basic shape of its already well-known throughout the world.This explosion of the New York World Trade Center, violence against Coptic Christians in Egypt, the civil war in Algeria, attempted unwanted politicians and leaders of countries such as Muhammad Budiaf, Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak ... And this is only a small part of those crimeswhich brings with it a radical Islam.
Determination
I must say that this expression was coined by Western politicians and willingly taken up by journalists who made it in everyday use stamp.However, let us define: radical Islam - that it is, how it arose, and what are ways to deal with it?This is very important because today this ideology against the background of the existing socio-political problems, as in most Arab states, as well as in Afghanistan, carries a truly global threat, filling the ideological and political vacuum created in Central Asia.
First of all, radical Islam - the settlement of various problems decisive and irreversible way, leading to the individual or mass terror, kidnapping and murder, and so on. D. Such violence, slavery and human trafficking, and also the kind of rampaging Muslimfanatics can not cause any warm feelings toward this religion in general and in particular to Allah, as they act on behalf of their god.And then immediately have to clarify that this motion in no way be identified with the Islamic faith.
countries where radical Islamists have ruled
In countries where the majority of people are Muslims, there are other currents.For example, conservatives in Saudi Arabia, the adherents of a moderate modernization in Egypt.But the radical currents of Islam are acting as a dynamic (not only political but also social) forces.They define the attitude to everything going on - both in this country and in the world.These currents are now run in three countries: Sudan, Iran and Afghanistan.
ideology
now understand, how people engage in radical Islam, what it is and what it looks like in practice.The main task of radical Islamists is to convince every person that he is in mortal danger in the face of so-called Western poison, which brings with it not capture or invasion, as it was before, and the deceitfulness of modern materialistic and secular ideas, as well as certaina way of life.
eradicate this threat can only be a monopoly of Islam entirely govern.At the same time a true Muslim must turn away from any semblance of Western ideology, as well as join one of voluntary associations.Such associations are called to try to seize power in the country and to maximize the turf by penetrating their members for elected positions in the commercial and professional representation in parliament.
order to achieve its ultimate goal, the first thing radicals seek to discredit the current government, calling him a lackey of the West and a supporter of alien every Muslim secular modernism.Thus, the government declared an enemy of Islam, and all members of the country's leadership - wrong.And as proof of this it is that they do not apply Islamic law to all aspects of life in the state.
reasons for the radicalization of Islam
be recalled that recourse to violence and terror was caused by a greater degree of repression of the state.An example of this can serve as the persecution in Egypt, the members of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 50s of the last century.As a result of this ill-considered policy of Gamal Abdel Nasser Islamic movements have become more acute form.A striking example is the carnage organized by Hamas in 1982 in Syria and armed action carried out against the Iraqi Shiite insurgents 10 years later.
What do the militant Muslims
should be clearly defined, what are seeking radical movements of Islam and what they are trying to enforce the laws in their countries.Western experts conducted the activities of militant Muslims in Sudan and Iran.As a result, it became clear that these movements violate certain laws relating to human rights, namely related to the social groups that have traditionally been discriminated against in Islamic countries (the minority who profess a religion, and women).
With regard to the latter, they were violently forced to wear a tent dress, called the veil.In addition, they are forbidden to go to places where you would normally may be both men and women, for example, theater, lecture and dance halls, and so on. N. A student and did provide some buses to travel to the place of study.Already in the three countries - Afghanistan, Iran and Sudan - Islamists imposed Sharia law, according to which the testimony of one man can balance only the same story of two women.
Where those in power are radicals carried out a constant persecution of people of other faiths.For example, Palestinian Christians persecuted followers of Hamas in southern Sudan people of other religions are often victims of the Islamic regime of Hassan al-Turabi, and in Upper Egypt literally destroy the Copts.
true face
Radical Islam categorically rejects the established world order today.Its adoption would be collusion with the West, and the peaceful resolution of existing conflicts - just an illusion.Radicals believe that by themselves are conflicting international relations.The theory of jihad, or holy war, based on the fact that the fighting is and will be the rule solving disagreements, until the world ends.Therefore, militant Islamists believe that only guns and the blood shed in the name of Allah, are able to rebuff Western ideals, prevailing now virtually everywhere.Only after the destruction of these regimes and the unification of all Muslims in the golden age of the caliphate, can be restored at peace.
At a time when social inequality, corruption and authoritarianism authorities every year grows along with them is growing and gaining popularity of radical Islam (already in Central Asia).Muslims are increasingly involved in terrorist acts.It is a pity that this bloody shadow falls not only on the peoples professing Islam and religion in general.
