2TerrorismTerrorism can be defined as the intentional use of indiscriminate violence which is meant to create terror or fear among big masses of people which will help the terrorists to achieve their objectives which could be financial, ideological, religious, political, among many other objectives (Combs, 2017). Sometimes, the terrorists just attack other people or countries with no defined objectives but only to cause harm to those people or nations. Terrorism has become a global problem as many countries have been affected by terrorists who have ended up killing many citizens and destroying many resources making the citizens and the countries to incur very huge losses (Lutz and James, 2013).Terrorism is morally wrong and wicked and should not be tolerated. Different organizations at national and international levels have condemned terrorism strongly and have laid out some well-defined guidelines and measures which should help in fighting terrorism across the world. These organizations have been supported by different religions which also condemn terrorism strongly and argue that terrorism should not be condoned as it interferes with not only the human freedom, liberty, and resources but also with some of the most important andthe basic human rights such as the right to life (Clark, 2014). In collaboration with the governments and the national and the international organizations, these religions have condemned terrorism and support the governments and these organizations by teaching people tobe good people and avoid involving themselves with the terrorist activities which put their lives at great risks as they can end be killed by the governments which are always very keen on fighting terrorism or even being killed by the people around them due to their involvement in terrorism (McLaughlin, 1996, pp.130-135).
