In its turn, this explains why many of contemporary Western media-products distort the issue at stake. This simply could not be otherwise, because the roots of Islamic terrorism are being commonly discussed outside of what causes people to profess Islamic beliefs, in the first place – hence, making them potentially capable of turning into Islamic fundamentalists.įor example, many particularly ‘progressive’ social scientists in the West promote the idea that ordinary Western citizens need to blame themselves for the fact that they periodically become the target of terrorist attacks because they deny the Islamic believers’ right to explore their religious self-identity (Akbar 8). Nevertheless, there are a number of good reasons to believe that it is specifically the politicians’ unawareness of the true causes of Islamic terrorism, which prevents them from being able to address it effectively.
After all, it does not represent much of a secret that it now became a common practice, on the part of Western politicians that strive to ensure citizens’ support, to emphasize the sheer acuteness of this particular problem in their public speeches. One of the foremost issues, which affect the political dynamics in Western countries, is the problem of Islamic terrorism.
