There is not moment that goes by without the visual, audio and printed media telling us about a measure that is being taken by an individual or a group, committing criminal terrorist acts that cause terror and panic and terrorize innocent people. This is in addition to the killing of innocent people, the loss of millions of dollars and public and private property, and the disturbing of the security and integrity of the infrastructure and public utilities that serve millions of people across the Arab world. There is no doubt that the Arab world witnesses many of the terrorist acts by these groups that threaten security and the future of investment. The means and methods of terrorism have multiplied across the Arab world, and terrorists have proved smarter in the use of various means of modern science and its applications in order to achieve their criminal purposes and their goals. The phenomenon of terrorism is not the result of chance in the Arab world, but the world has known it since a long time ago; but what is new is the increase in incidents and the increasing numbers of victims, in particular in the Arab world. The fear is that the Arab world will soon witness terrorist forces using small nuclear weapons as instruments of terror, too. Thus, terrorism has taken several forms of striking aircrafts in space and hijacking them in the air and the seizure of ships at sea, in addition to the destruction of civil aviation facilities and the attempts to kill leaders, presidents and kings of Arab States, and the attack on the corps of political and public figures in the Arab countries and ending the lives of individuals, whether elderly people, men, children or women. This is in addition to the kidnapping of people and demanding ransom for the hostages, whether they are politicians, journalists or diplomats, as well as the destruction of facilities and public buildings, trains and cars and attacking embassies, consulates, aviation offices and tourist areas, and arson, and placing explosives and explosive devices in cinemas and in train and bus stations.

Terrorist groups possess organizations in most of the Arab countries which work on spreading corruption and sowing terror and panic among Arabs everywhere. They also work on portraying the Arab world as a terrorist nation. All this has a considerable impact on these countries in tourism, the economy and other levels. These terrorist groups and al-Qaeda organizations are wreaking havoc and doing their utmost to take control of the Arab world so that they will manage to face the Western world, claim the lives of more people and carry out random bombings everywhere. In so doing, they aim to invade the Arab world. Thus, we have to face these terrorist groups, promote the union between Arab countries and form an organization that is composed of all Arab countries so that it will be ready to eradicate terrorism and face its acts which are carried out against Arab peoples. Indeed, the latter are the first victims of these events and the violent criminal terrorist acts which are working on spreading dissensions and the extremist invasion against our brains. The latter are responsible for claiming the lives of many victims because of the wrong definition which these terrorist groups have spread and the presence of al-Qaeda in most Arab countries. Therefore, we have to form parties which are specialized in fighting this corruption and raising people’s awareness against falling prey to their evil and following their deviant desires. Thus, Men of Religion should warn the Arab people against the evil of these groups and make them aware that terrorists are hiding behind religion in order to protect themselves and deceive the minds of people in order to convince them that their acts are honest and right. They also want to prove that they are looking for martyrdom for the sake of Allah and that they will certainly be martyrs in the hereafter.
