Global Violence and Terror: A Blow Struck at the Human Honour

Öz

Recently; a campaign towards the fact that violence and terror are connected with religion in general and with Islam in particular, and that Islamic culture has produced violence and terror has been intensively carried out. Although, the assuming of violence and terror a global dimension is directly related to “existential emptiness” which hopeless people fell down as a result of loss of sense, this loss of sense has been tried to be rooted and spread by means of identification of these two terms with Islam. In the world, none of religion does support directly the violence and terror, the most clear sign of senselessness. Violence and terror can be found in Islamic culture as much as everywhere mankind lives. Islamic culture in itself neither is a culture producing violence and terror, nor Muslims are terrorists. In this case, the main point to be questioned is not whether Islamic culture is inclined to produce violence and terror or not, rather is the fact that how the dominant values of Western civilisation such as democracy supremacy of law, human rights, which make this civilisation center of attraction, have been devastated by those claiming that they are representatives of this civilisation. In this article, it has been delt with that the fundamental paradigm bringing Western civilisation into existence should be inquired, starting from the fact that violence and, terror, gaining a global currency, threaten the future of mankind, and in this process Western dominant values are ruined by Westerners themselves
