Arab: Terrorism Starts In Universities and Mosques

An Arabs Take on The Sources of Terrorism

ArabNews: Drying Up The Wells of Terrorism

The most important source is ideological. It is no secret that there has for a long time been an active current determined to disregard, discredit and demonize others. These people believe in one truth, and they regard themselves as its founders, keepers and executioners. The weakness of their “truth’s” logic and its even weaker legislative base, especially in a tolerant, multi-doctrinal, living and abundant religion, meant that they had to resort to callousness in its application, in order to impose a single vision and thought.
This ideology managed in the last few decades to impose itself and to infiltrate all areas that affect public consciousness from media to education, from mosque to university, from books to tapes. Since we are by nature a Muslim and conservative nation, and because many in our society have become used to receiving without question, believing without investigation, and to learning from that single source without research or investigation, it was easy for this force to convey what it wanted and direct us in the manner that it wished.
