About this issue
Terrorism has been a very major phenomenon disturbing the peace of the planet today. While acts of terror have been recorded in recent history from last several centuries, this phenomenon has come to prominence from the ghastly tragedy of 9/11 2001. With this the American media popularized the word Islamic terrorism, and worldwide this propaganda against Islam and Muslims picked up. Al Qaeda, a product of US policies to control of oil wealth in West Asia, has been the major tormentor of people and its worst victims have been people of India and Pakistan. Parallel with this the likes of Sadhvi Prgya Singh Thakur and Swami Aseemanand also came up with the goal of ‘Bomb for a bomb’ and for pursuing the politics of Hindu Rashtra (Nation). This book is a graphic presentation of the whole issue. It focuses on the definition of terrorism, and the genesis of Al Qaeda through indoctrination in the specially set up Madrassa by America in Pakistan. The phenomenon of Osama bin Laden and his support by US is presented in the book. The book also takes up the theory of ‘clash of civilization’ and its fallacies. The series of blast from Nanded 2006 to Ajmer and Malegaon blasts are also analyzed. The book demystifies the phenomenon of terror and shows that terrorism has nothing to do with religion but there are political goals behind the same.
