Abstract
Religious motives played crucial role behind terrorism throughout the history of mankind. Starting from Zealot, Sicarii to Assassins and Thugs, role of religion had always been caressed behind the terrorist actions. In 21st Century terrorism, Religion is also blamed for atrocities committed for the sake of faith. But, distinctive character which religion plays to desire its followers for the execution of carnages is doubtful. It does not mean that there’s no relationship between the two; it’s just that you aren’t getting the true lines. It can be observed that pointing the finger at religion is not just a weak move intellectually. We need to stop scapegoating religion. Without understanding the false expressions of religion, we can’t solve a problem like religious violence. Having blamed religion, or radical religion, the blamers are satisfied, and ready-set with an easy explanation for the next time terrorists attack.
