Jihad or the Globalization of Terror?

Since September 11, the religion of Islam has made the news and is now frequently discussed. One question commonly asked is “why is this religion so violent?” To discuss this issue whether Islam is violent we need to discuss another term of this religion- ‘Jihad’, a proverbial term in present world especially after the 9/11 terrorist attack. Most of the time General Muslims are not be acquainted with the profound meaning of jihad, whereas for the non-Muslims jihad is only a violent instrument of Islamic religion.

War on Terror and US policy towards Muslim Countries

Terrorism and war on terror are the parts of discussion in international relations that cannot be overlooked. The centre of this discourse is the USA and roughly some countries of Middle East. Here the main question is why USA is so concerned to establish its ascendancy over the Muslim countries at the name of war on terror, at the same time, why the Islamist fundamentalists being an uneven power possessor are interested to contradict with USA. The reason is forever the same. USA tries to restrain its global hegemony whereas the radical Islamist fundamentalists endeavor to regain power and influence of previous Islamic Empire of Glory and superiority.
