IMPACT ON CIVILIANS
 civilians at risk for short and long-term mental health
problems
 the negative effects of terrorism are not restricted to
individuals who have been directly affected by terror
attacks and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
symptoms have also been documented among people who
were indirectly exposed to the attacks.
 Security at the airports and train stations increased
dramatically.
 More security in the bigger stores
 Lots of security checks wherever you went…..
"Every time I had to go to and help my dad at the market in a
protestant area, he would call me with another name, George
(typical protestant name, to pretend we were a protestant
family.
"I became more perceptive of dangers"
"I remember that I used to go to a university on the other side
of the bridge and every morning my bus had to stop before
crossing the bridge because of security checking”
 WE ARE NOT GOING TO CURE TERRORISM AND SPREAD PEACE
AND GOOD WILL IN THE MIDDLE EAST BY KILLING INNOCENT
PEOPLE , OR I’M NOT EVEN SAYING OUR BULLETS AND BOMBS
ARE KILLING THEM. THE OCCUPATION THAT THEY DON’T HAVE
FOOD. THEY DON’T HAVE CLEAN WATER . THEY DON’T HAVE
ELECTRICITY . THEY DON’T HAVE MEDICINE . THEY DON’T HAVE
DOCTORS.
 HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT ONLY VIOLATED BY TERRORISM,
REPRESSION OR ASSASSINATION, BUT ALSO BY UNFAIR
ECONOMIC STRUCTURE THAT CREATES HUGE INEQUALITIES.
 How does the mentality of people change
with terrorism?
 Emotional balance is restored shortly after a
traumatic event ends, but in other cases,
there may be profound and prolonged
mental health problems including post
traumatic
Main strategies for preventing
Terrorism
 Incapacitation of (potential) terrorists by
removing their capacities for carrying out action
 Deterrence by threat of retaliation or punishment
 Averting planned terrorist attacks
 Situational prevention by increasing difficulties,
costs and risks, and reducing the rewards and
excuses for carrying out terrorist attacks
 Social and political prevention by reducing root
causes and motivations for violent radicalisation
 Disengagement from terrorism – making
individuals and groups discontinue their
involvement in terrorism Dato

Social and political prevention:
removing root causes of terrorism
 Mechanism: Reduce motivation for terrorism by removing root
causes and frustrations
 Two kinds of root causes: Preconditions and precipitants
 Actors: Governments, other political actors, NGOs,
peace mediators, etc.
 Measures: Conflict resolution, political processes, social
development, non-discrimination, rule of law, etc.
 Advantages: May have positive effects other social and political
problems than terrorism alone
 Limitations and negative side effects:
 There is no single root cause of terrorism but many and complex
 Many root causes are difficult to solve (e.g. protracted conflicts, deeply
ingrained social problems)
 Measures will often take a long time before they make an impact
 Effects are difficult to measure
 Terrorism is frequently sustained by other reasons than those which gave
rise to the terrorist campaign initially
 Make terrorists quit terrorism
 Mechanisms: Make active terrorists quit,
individually or collectively. Remove motivation for terrorism
 Actors: Governments, criminal justice system, NGOs
 Measures: Amnesty, witness (protection) programmes,
negotiations, political processes, alternatives to violence
 Advantages:
 May make an end to terrorist campaignes
 May reduce violence and suffering
 May reduce the size of terrorist groups and prevent recruitment
 May cause internal splits and weaken the terrorist group
 May provide vital intelligence and witnesses in court cases
 Limitations and negative side effects:
 May mainly have an impact on declining terrorist groups
 Amnesty programmes may easily be abused; risk of recidivism
 Amnesty may be difficult to accept by the victims of terrorism
 May undermine principles of the rule of law and sense of justice
CONCLUSION
 THE PROBLEM WITH TERRORISM IS SOME GROUP OF PEOPLE THINK
THEY ARE THE CHOSEN BY GOD TO COMMIT MASS MURDER IN THE
NAME OF GOD. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS, SOME COMMUNITIES HAVE
THIS “SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL” ATTITUDE ON
TERRORISM. AT THE END OF THE DAY, AS LONG AS PEOPLE BELIEVES
THEIR RELIGION IS THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION AND ALL OTHERS ARE
FALSE, THERE WILL BE NO WORLD PEACE, NO END TO TERRORISM AND
ALL ANTI-TERRORISM EFFORTS WILL BE FUTILE.
 ALSO AS FAMILES OF MARTYRS ARE SUPPORTED, THE SAME
COMPASSION AND SYMPATHY SHOULD BE SHOWN TO FAMILY OF
TERRORISTS LOSING THEIR LIVES FOR ILLOGICAL REASONS.
“IF YOU FIGHT TERRORISM, IT IS
BASED ON FEAR. IF YOU PROMOTE
PEACE, IT’S BASED ON HOPE, SO WE
NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE MALALA
YOUSAFZAI AND NADIA MURAD.”
