Religious Terrorism
Terrorism is the implementation of violence and force on people or on properties for political and
regional purposes (Henne, 2019). Similarly, religious terrorism is the implementation of violence
for the fulfilment of religious goals in such a way that through these activities special advantages
are achieved. Religious Terrorism has become a global issue because people belonging to a
specific cultural group often tend to implement force on the common citizens in peaceful
environment and often tend to implement high level of civilian causalities (Dawson, 2018). In
order to achieve a peaceful laws governments often has to take strict actions against the culprits
by which it can make sure that lawful activities are continued throughout the country.
Causes of Religious Terrorism, Religious bases violence are often caused because of the
differences in the cultural beliefs and work practices because of which citizens often fails to
understand the diversity of the society and because of which often faces disarrangement with the
followers of other region. Due to these differences in thinking and working process conflicts
arises and due to which this lack of tolerance leads to violence and thus generates unlawful
activities. The efficient latest example of this Religious Terrorism was seen in case of France in
which country has to face domestic violence because of cultural misbeliefs and thus country has
to face a lot of civilian casualties (BBC News, 2020). Due to this type of Religious Terrorism
activities law is often violated and with that working capability of the citizens is also affected.

Religious Terrorism often tend to force people to work accordingly to the religious background
of Terrorism because of which it often tends to take actions which clearly violates the freedom
and tend to implement dictatorship because of which in order to work under the basis human
rights government has to take strict actions by which it can make sure that its citizens are living
peacefully within the society.
Thus, in order to maintain a safe and secure lawful environment to citizens governments all
across the globe has to make collaborative efforts in such a way that it is able to eliminate the
culprits who often tends to do Religious Terrorism (Macdonald and et.al, 2018). Also, with that

being killed for their freedom of speech, through this strict actions of world leaders and motivate
its citizens to freely and securely make collaborative efforts for improving the present conditions.
Thus, in order to achieve this global leaders can implement restrictions on the culprit country
which is funding the Religious Terrorism groups for the social welfare and make sure that
