It is of utmost importance to know that terrorism is not a principle such as capitalism or communism rather it is a strategy which is used to attain a definite objective. Terrorism is the utilization of threat or violence to further a political cause. Regardless of the strength of public perception and media coverage, terrorism is in fact quite less recurrent these days than it has been in the last few years. The change wanted by the terrorists may be political, religious as well as may be social in nature. It is vital to remember that terrorism does not always appoint people from another country or setting.
