Summary/Abstract: This paper looks at the way religious based insurrections change in order to survive. In this change the religious values they proclaim end being violated while the people they want to liberate become their victims. In to survive these groups end up collaborating with the very followers of faiths they regard disbelief. This somehow creates a problem of understanding terrorists, their motives and that of their supporters. In addition, this paper shows that reasons for the rise of these movements were not religious and the solution equally is not religious but political.
