CRITICAL VIEWS APPROCHING THE DEFINITIONS OF TERRORISM IN THE ARABO-ISLAMIC FRAMEWORK

Summary/Abstract: Terrorism is a wide spread phenomenon taking into account the historical span of time in the evolution of human beings and it can’t be attributed to a nation, religion or doctrine but it represents an extremist behavior mainly manifested on the religious, political and ideological plane. Assigning a definition to terrorism proved to be difficult but it could also be dangerous taking into account, on one hand, that every nation has its own experience dealing with terrorism acts and on the other hand terrorism is a dynamic phenomenon which can manifest differently from culture to culture, religion to other, country to country, from a historical period to other or from an ideology to other. In the case of Arab states there is a different level of comprehending the terrorist phenomenon and also of comprehending the term of terrorism „Irhab” itself. Those levels occurs on language, religion taking into account Sharīʿah and Coran, and the definition of terrorism adapted by the Arab states at the national juridical level of each state. On the juridical level the Arab states adapted the term terrorism „Irhab” from the western culture; a term which is regarded with skepticism from the conservative part of the community that would desire that the term to be fetched from the Sharīʿah namely „Warrior” and for the legislation to be developed accordingly. The Arab states are relatively new included in the‘’Terrorist Combating Club” with legislating which date even back to 2014 and mainly influenced by the events that took place in each state separately in which the terrorist phenomenon is amid by the exacerbation of religious and identity expression without taking into calculation a potential legislative harmonization despite the fact that both the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation have made efforts in this regard, furthermore in the case of the Arab League existed a co-operative approach of establishing an Arab intervention force which by the authorized voice of Mr. Ahmad Al-Mushriqi, president of the Council on foreign and security policy area from the Arab Parliament stated: “the intervention force for combating terrorism should by Arabic and not foreign to not allow or give the opportunity or even promoting, at the Islamic world level, the terrorist or insurgent activities by giving those groups an excuse in doing so”.
