XTREMISM AND TERRORISM (ITS TREATMENT THROUGH QUR’ANIC VERSES, PROPHETIC SAYINGS AND DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS)

In certain countries around the world some Muslim youngsters have appeared who call for the return to Islam. They cause unrest, chaos, disorder and scandal on earth, but deem themselves to be acting justly. They deeply shake and upset the spiritual, intellectual and political peace of the Muslims in the world. They call for disrespect towards leaders, for opposition and upheaval against them, inciting the youth to also fight those who are beside those leaders, without taking into consideration whether they are scholars, or members of the security service, police, the army, etc. Unfortunately, this whole action is done in the name of enjoining good and forbidding evil. This study will make the diagnosis of this illness starting from the basic principle that terrorism is first of all an ideological, dogmatic and fundamental illness, whose roots are deep in the ideology, dogma and history. Thus, we must first of all wage an intellectual, civilizational and cultural battle in order to defeat their ideas, because the treatment and remedy of a deviated idea and strayed culture is only possible through a correct and sound idea, which is based in the Qur’an and the Sunnah and in the scientific efforts of the scholars.In conducting this study, the author has utilized the Descriptive, Analytical, Critical and Inductive Methodology.
