Thanks for Allah and peace be upon our prophet Mohamed Ibn Abdullah

and his followers.

Terrorism in Islam

A scientific thesis as other group of scientific thesis s that clarify the clear

Islam attitude towards terrorism. It shows the Sharia' ruling that forbids the

attack and violence against safe people at their homes and societies. Islam

has protected that and prevented any harm to them even by indication of

terror.

Terrorism: International phenomenon from which many non-Islamic and

Islamic countries have complained and suffered. These countries wish to live

in peace and far away from terrorism. Terrorists commit severe crimes and

sins when they kill peaceful people and destroy properties by tripping

vehicles by explosives to threaten and kill people. They do not consider

young, old, sick or disabled people, but they corrupt life and such acts are

hated and forbidden by Allah.




Terrorism is bad in whole, resulting in destruction, corruption and sadness.

The terrorist has deviated mind, psychologically diseased, absent-minded,

defeated in his personality, telling lies and jealous to others. He hates his

nation and its development. All world hated all terrorism operations which

do not distinguish between nation, nationality, religion, scholarship, time, or

place. All feelings refuse and deny terrorism operations which are beyond

the permitted and reasonable limits. They go beyond the teachings of

religions, regulations, and prevailing laws. The word "terrorism" is limited

in the commitment of killing, threatening, kidnapping, spoilage.

Since the events of 11 Sept. I have the honor to present programs in the

Saudi TV talking about terrorism and the Islamic attitude towards that.

Regretfully we have witnessed some violence incidents in our country. The

blasts harmed and did not benefit, killed and did not give life. Therefore, I

had to spread the right thing among the people through available mass

media. These scientific researches are a group of thesis s to get doctorate

degree in Terrorism and the Islamic Attitude towards that from the American

University in London.

This thesis is a human effort which may be subject to rightness and wrong. I

tried to apply scientific research in dividing the subjects into Section s,

chapters, researches, requirements, and issues. The texts have been

documented and referred to their references and to verses of Quran have

been referred to their chapters. Al-Hadeeth (Prophet Sayings) have been




briefly tracked and documented. If there are any faults and shortages, they

shall be attributed to me. I hope that this thesis will benefit all people and I

ask them to send me any comments and remarks that can be rectified during

printing.

Section One: Sharia and Terrorism

Chapter One: Definition of Terrorism

Research One: Linguistic Meaning of Terrorism

The source of terrorism is "terrify" which means fear.

In the Quran it means fear.




Research Two: Terrorism

I did not find it a meaning in the Sharia terms of previous Muslim scientists

because the first use of this term was during the French revolution (1789 –

1794). This means that the source of this term is from European thoughts,

and this rejects the wrong claims which characterize Islam by this word. The

scientists of different religions in all over the world have not agreed on a

meaning of terrorism. However, there are some definitions from

international organizations.

United Nations definition: Terrorism means the acts that endanger the

innocent human beings souls or threaten the basic freedoms or violates the

human being dignity.

International law definition: Terrorism a group of acts that are forbidden

by the national laws of most countries.

Arab Agreement definition: Terrorism means each act of terrorism or

threatening of such act, whatever the motives or purposes, implemented for

crime project, individual or collective. It aims to spread terror between

people and threatening them or endanger their lives or freedoms and their

security. Also, it includes harm the environment or facilities or properties

(private and public) or occupy them and conquer them or endanger any of

the national sources.




Al-Azhar Islamic Research Complex definition: Al-Azhar gave a

definition after the events of 11 Sept. 2001 by saying (horrifying the

peaceful people, destroying their interests and lives, their freedoms and

human dignity and corrupt the life. The country on which such terrorism

occurs has the right to search for the criminals and present them to

jurisdiction constitutions for judgment).

Islamic Fiqeh Complex Definition: Terrorism: an assault committed by

individuals or groups or countries on the human being (his religion, blood,

mind, money and honor). It includes types of threat, harm and killing under

no right. This includes rubbery, acts of threatening and violence that

implement individual and collective crime project to horrify people or

threaten their lives or security or expose their lives to danger. Some of their

types are causing damage to the environment, facilities, private & public

properties and expose the national resources or the nature to danger. All this

are types of corruption on the earth and forbidden by Allah.

Research Three: Selected Definition of the Terrorism: Fiqeh Islamic

Complex of the Islamic World League is considered to be the best definition

in defining the Islam prevention of attack, violence and horrifying the

secured people. It has been issued from the strongest complex representing

Islam and Muslims. It includes all types of fear, harm, threat, killing with no

rights and what is related to Al-Hirabah, threat and cut of road and any act of

violence or threat that come as an implementation of individual or collective




contradictions between the terms terrorism as some are general and others

are specific. It has been found that the work "Irhab" in Arabic is a translation

of the word "terrorism" in English which is wrong linguistic translation. Fear

from killing or injury or destruction is a materialistic fear expressed in

horror and not "rahbah" since this word in Arabic language is used for fear

mixed with respect and not for fear resulting from threatening by

materialistic or creatural or natural force. Therefore it fear and horror and its

is not "rahbah". The correct meaning for terrorism is horror. However , the

Arab Linguistic Complex approved using "Irhab" as it is widely used in

Arab world and understood for terrorism.

Research Four:

Elements of terrorism:

(1) Power

(2) Violence

(3) Fear

(4) Weapons

(5) Mass media

Research Five: Objectives of Terrorism:

a. Direct Objectives: They are the objectives announced by the

organization during implementation of the terrorism operation. They

are represented in the following:




1- Obtain funds to finance the organization activities, and recruit new

personnel to work with it.

2- Release prisoners in jails, either they are politicians or members of the

organization and they have been caught during previous operations.

3- Implement killing operations to opponents either as disclosed or

concealed operation.

4- Secure the escape of the persons who implement the terrorism

operation after the end of the operation in achieve the last stage of the

operation to succeed.

5- Perform necessary propaganda for the organization.

b. Indirect Objectives: They are unannounced objectives but the

organization tries to achieve. They may be more important to the

organization than the direct objectives. They are represented in the

following:

1- Weaken the government authority and show it as disabled due to its

inability to discover the operation before it occurs and its inability to

face the situation resulting from the terrorism operation.

2- Obtain official recognition from the targeted country of the existence

of the organization or obtain international recognition due to

announcements of statements that organization mandated

announcement.




3- Oblige the country to implement works directed against the citizens

who result in loss of confidence in the government due to its inability

to achieve security for citizen and face the terrorism organization to

overcome.

4- Create supporter from the citizens of the targeted country and work to

overcome the ruling regime or achieve the organization objectives.

5- Attach tourism, economy, security and the sources of power that give

country the legality such as religion, economy and security.

Research Six: Types of Terrorism: 24 , In Washington's classification

in 1976 the terrorism was divided into four types:

1. Doctrine terrorism: This includes leftist, communist, rightist

extremists, Zionism and Hindu terrorism.

2. National terrorism: It includes operations targeted to expel

occupants, destroy their machinery and interests, kill their

representatives

3. Religion, or faction race terrorism: such as operations implemented

by Tamil against the Srelankan government and Seek operations

against Muslims in India.

4. Sickness terrorism: It is caused by mental or psychological

malfunction.

Another Division: If we look at terrorism with respect to the one who

implement the violence and extremism, it can be divided into two types:




policies and peaceful and innocent people. These blasts may carry a

message to the country whereat the explosions occurred for political,

religion, or financial abuse () or for the purpose of facing the

ruling regime at that country. There are some other operations such as

sniping, threatening of terrorism, and psychological war by using false

terrorism announcements.

Research Eight: Characteristics of Terrorism:

Terrorism is distinguished from other violence works by the following:

1. Violence or threatening and it lasts for long time causing terrorism

2. Organization linked to violence and as it continues it causes terrorism

3. The purpose is illegal although it is clear that it tries to curb the

political authority.

4. The act is not from acquired acts and it has been given a name as

crime that is ruled by jurisdiction so that no mix shall be made

between international crimes.

5. A symbolic limited act that goes beyond the scope of action in order

to make wider and comprehensive effects of fear.

6. Terrorism is an act that means several political indications and it aims

to affect decision making or diverting it.

7. Terrorism acts does not mean military counter acts. It is limited in

terrorism severe tactics, secret and unforeseen implemented by




political elements opposing the authority and the ruling regime and it

specifically selects its objectives and has specific requirements.

8. Use of power, violence, or threatening by that which is considered the

main role to achieve the objectives.

9. The terrorism act is limited by boundaries or geography and its plan is

implemented in a place that achieves the objectives.

10. Terrorism operations attract the attention, and therefore, its operations

occur to international objectives or super power countries in order to

spread its news to serve the objectives. Therefore, its objectives have

two dimensions: Emotional dimension and mental dimension and it is

characterized by extremism and has no mediation.

Research Nine: Characteristics of the Terrorist:

Terrorists have some characters or personal common features distinguishing

them regardless of their loyalty, identification or organizations to which they

belong, countries associated with and operations implemented by them.

1. Most of them are married males (95%) more than females and they

have no children.

2. If there is a role for women in the terrorism organization, it is limited

in intelligence, information collection, keeping weapon, provide safe

accommodation for terrorists, nursery, publicity, supply and

falsification.

3. They are fictions and heroes of their stories and they try to rectify the

world by violence and they have their own philosophy.




4. They are full of secrets and they are characterized by harshness,

carelessness and insistence to achieve objectives. It is difficult to

make understanding with them.

5. Some of them takes awaking drugs to increase their motives.

6. They are extremists, aggressive and easy to excite. This is why the

young youth are targeted because they are unable to think about the

results and consequences of terrorism and violence actions.

7. There body growth is complete but their psychological growth is not

complete.

8. In some psychological studies, some terrorists have feminine

characteristics and the resist this feminine and pretend muscularity by

violence which push them to kill and terrify especially in the non-

Muslim societies. In the Muslim society the terrorist may be

uncovered by woman dress to achieve his shameful acts under the

name of the countries traditions and religious reserve values.

The above are ten characteristics we witnessed in the life of the terrorists

who spoil the security of societies. There are other characteristics which

depending on the targeted society based on changes on all over the world.

Research Ten : Reasons of terrorism:

Requirement one: The general reasons for the terrorism phenomena in the

world




Geographical reasons:

The wide area of the country borders makes it difficult for the armed

forces and security systems in any country that have weakness, factions

usually make it difficult to secure that and impose control on the borders.

This encouraged terrorists to penetrate through borders to inside the

country to achieve objectives and perform their operations. Some

countries or places have certain terrains that are suitable as shelters for

them facilitating terrorism operations. Undeveloped random areas forms

a dangerous challenge to security and stability of the nation and citizen.

In addition to the geographical reasons, hot areas are considered more

suitable than cold areas for spread of political reasons. Similarly is the

aggression on personnel and raising riot. For example, it has been found

that there is increased number of terrorist and it is easy to attract many

youth such as in south of Egypt. It is found that very cold weather

prevent criminals and kill them if they fortify in mountains and their high

tops.

Media Reasons

The criminals use the mass media as a means to reach their objectives.

Terrorist organizations in the world conduct terrorist operations to attract

the attention of the world public opinion to their cause which they defend

in order to oblige the aired party to surrender to their demands. Some




researchers that mass media programs that are shameful and hurt the

honor and spread the sin and sarcastic of the values and principles leads

to creation of environment suitable for terrorism to face these countries

and the dangerous role of that mass media, and the deviated ideas and

view that contracting to the Islamic principles. The resulted in negative

reaction by the Muslim youth who are affected by the media attack. Some

of them try to compromise and they go extremely in understanding Islam.

Others have blocked minds and in both cases the reason is the

misunderstand of the Religion and sharia. Some are affected by some bad

imported scholarships or they blindly follow some misleaders who are

trading in religion. Sometimes they is lack of religion which is not filled

because mass media is involved in programs far away from the Muslim

situation and different from the ambitions of the youth and their needs

and does not discuss their problems and spread the correct religious

awareness and as such it fees the feeling of extremism and terrorism.

Economic Reasons

The economic problems of the undeveloped countries are some of the

dangerous reasons for terrorism in the world. The scientific and technical

development of the world banking systems have facilitated the transfer of

money between the terrorist networks.

Also, individuals in the third world countries suffering of the economical

countries related to housing, debts, unemployment's, and poorness,




inflation in prices, communication, and health are factors that may lead

the youth to be extremist and terrorist and provide the opportunity to the

terrorism organization to utilize the economic conditions of the youth to

achieve their objectives.

Family Reasons:

Family loose relations, and the lack of supervision of the parents on their

children and the mistreatment of the parents or the negligence and the

lack of dialogue between the children and their sharing in taking the

decisions specially if they are directly related to their future such as

education, work and marriage.

Intellectual Reasons:

The Islamic world suffers of the sharp intellectual division between

different currents:

Secular current that calls for secular life away from religious traditions

and customs and social values so that the society will develop and reach

the civilization. On the other side there is extremist current away from

intermediate and fairness that rejects the current civilization and any

thing associated with the civil development and they reject that under the

pretext that this civilization cause corruption of morals, dismantling of

family, frozen social relations and as such each side refuses the thoughts

of the other party and look at him doubtfully without scrutinizing and




evaluation to reach the right and basic principles. This caused some

Muslim extremists to be under a state of attraction between both currents

which led at the end to follow terrorism approach which is not approved

by religion and contradict with the civilization path.

Requirement Two: The apparent special causes of terrorism in the

Islamic World:

1. Lack of religious education in some Islamic societies

2. Bad methods of education to provide religious culture.

3. Ignorance of religion and requirements of the current age make

youth issue fatwa and provisions contradicting to the texts

without reference to the specialized individuals in the Sharia

religion.

4. Developments on the Islamic world, and political, social and

economical changes.

5. Lack of religion with youth and their involvement in religious

contradicting and branch issues.

6. Lack of understanding to the order of doing good deeds and

preventing bad things and the one who is authorized to do that.

7. Full obedience to the terrorist leaders in some Islamic societies

and also to fulfill their material needs.

8. No positive participation in the social life.

9. No observation of the five necessities provided by Allah.




It is hard to specify all reasons but they can be concluded. Although there

are reasons of current terrorism, there is something more dangerous that

reasons. This is the consequences of terrorist which adversely affect the

Islamic society for long years suffering from them and the next generations.

These results can be concluded in the following:

1. The terrorism operations occurred in some Islamic countries by the

hand of those who pretend that they are Muslims have contributed in

giving dark image about Islam and Muslims and linking between

terrorist and Islam.

2. The terrorism operations are considered risks that discourage the

traders and businessmen to expand their trading and commercial

deals with countries suffering of terrorism.

3. The general climate of investment will be discouraging for attraction

of capital from outside.

4. The terrorism interrupt the tourism activities which are considered as

a source of the national income for many Islamic countries

5. The terrorism and the its consequences of non-stability of security and

economy leads to setback of the economic activity. This creates

another type of hidden economy which is trading of weapons and

explosives.

6. The terrorism take dangerous dimensions that may harm the budget of

the country in which terrorism occur in two aspects:

1. The state expenses will be increased on terrorism fighting.




2. Increase the country's burden of payments to the killed persons

and treatment of injured people, repair of what destruction and

damage resulting from terrorism.

There are routes and many causes of terrorism. Some are religious fed by

doctrine or belief. There are purely psychological reasons aiming to attack

attention to the doer, or discharge psychological charge or jealous against the

party to which the crime occurs. There are social routes such as people, tribe,

party, class or others which may lead by those who have been suppressed to

rebel by making operations called holy operations while it is called

terrorism. The most dangerous type of the terrorism is called the extremist

religious belief where youth are recruited to commit suicide operations

seeking by it to enter paradise and gain the acceptance by Allah while they

are committing acts that Allah does not accept.

Research Five: The reality of religion terrorism: These terrorists are blindly

following orders given to them which indicates that the they have simple

thinking. All terrorism attacks implemented on this land have been

committed by persons carrying diverted believes and want to impose them

on others by committing terrorism in the Muslim society which adopted

Quran and prophet sunna and observe the public interest of the country,

citizens, residences and dealing with the changes in the current age which

can't be ignored in order to maintain the interest and build the future for the

generation. Most of those who exploded themselves and destroyed others or

those captured before they practice their terrorism who are young and




diverted in their believes, have been attracted and deceived by criminals in

spreading terrorism and killing of people and destruction of public and

private properties. They washed the brains of the youth by holding meetings

in their cells or by distribution of suspicious books and cassettes. The

extreme thinking is one of the main reasons of terrorism and its routes in

Islam, especially the extremist which does not accept the other opinions.

This type of extremism claims that it owns the absolute reality in part and in

whole and the fixed believes that all agree on. Therefore, this type of

opinions tries to exclude the other party who disagree with them. Exclusion

has many features the biggest of it is non-belief. Therefore, this diverted

thinking tries to exclude or cancel the other party and omit him either by be

attracting him or by killing him and try to reach him aim by any means even

if it is terrorism and violence but he does not call that terrorism or

extremism. He call it holy war (Jihad) and teach his followers of the ignorant

youth that what they do of destruction of properties and killing of human

beings is right and it is the path to paradise and it is the jihad ordered by

Allah. Some of the features of terrorism is hijacking of airplanes, trains,

buses. This type of terrorism may be performed by one person or group and

the reason for it may be because the terrorist has fled requesting asylum in

another country. Or he may be requesting ransom and money or he may be

requesting freedom of prisoners or to attract attention, or to disturb the

system and peace or etc. As airplanes are hijacked the human beings may be

kidnapped to take ransom. A child may be kidnapped to get ransom, some

politicians may be taken hostages to put governments in critical situation.




Islam calls for self review to look for defects and return to the right path.

This is an advantage and therefore, some Islamic groups need to review

themselves to find that there is a mistake in the religious Sermon represented

in lack of moral dimension. It is an aggression against Islam and Muslims to

refer to them as terrorism because of their religion. There are many terrorist

gangs, presently and in the past, practiced more violence and disrupted the

life and they did not know Islam or had any relation to Muslim. Red flags in

Italy, Red Army in Japan, Bask national movement, Ireland Republic Army,

Tamil Tigers in Srilanka, Baderminhouv in Germany, Students for

Democratic society and Black Tigers in America and other terrorism groups

have practiced violence, terrorism and blackmailing without being

associated with any region. This is right because all religions call for good

and avoid bad with some variance. Islam is the leader of their religions as it

is the final religion and is good for any place and time. Therefore, we should

go back to the Quran and Sunna to subtract our needs of texts the educate

human being to be in love and mercy and fairness and respect of human

rights. If we include that in our religion Sermon we will see how the

situation will change and peace will spread on the ground and Islam return to

its superiority.

Section Two (Islamic Society and Terrorism)

Chapter One: Society and need for security:

Security is an urgent necessity for Islamic society by which the good life for

individuals is realized and the society will develop to be close to advanced




countries. Therefore, Islam has given this aspect the utmost attention and

annotated that in its provisions in the Quran and Sunnah. The meaning of

Allah saying: "Those Believers who do not mix their belief of unfairness

will have security and they are on the right path".

Also "When he leaves he endeavors to corrupt on the earth and damage

cultivation and life and Allah does not like corruption"

Those who are only interested in killing and destroying are considered

criminals because security is a main pillar in society on which the human life

is based. It is the basis for innovation and creativity of human beings. It is an

objective that all individuals and groups intend to achieve and governments

and countries would like to realize. Society would like security when there

are disasters, riots and disturbances. Islamic society is distinguished by its

provisions to control security and its regulations which are taken from its

pure doctrine and core of its Sharia. It is united and associated regardless of

the various races, nationalities and levels. If we refer to the prophet sayings,

we will find that they call for security. Therefore, when prophet entered

Makkah he said his famous Sermon (The one who enters the house of Abu

Sofian will be secured). He concluded his life by establishing them principle

in Hijat Al-Wada in front of people (Don't go back after me unbelievers

killing each other).

Islam ordered and put penalties to the one who violates this principle.

(Those who fight against Allah and his prophet and corrupt will be awarded

of being killed, or crucified or their legs and hands are cut or dismissed from

the land… ". This is because their practice is aggression on the rightness and




Requirement Three: The role of the mosque in the awareness of the

security crimes

The mosque is the safety valve for the Islamic society and without which the

life in the society will not be go straightforward. The mosque also secure the

society from deviated ideas and acts, so it fights the bad behaviors and social

corruption. In this regard the Islamic sharia is distinctive by the basic

principles of workshop and dealing and maintain the social life to achieve

the security and fairness between people. It maintains the freedom of

individuals and the collective public rights. This role of the mosque has not

been away from other social institutions. It has been giving these institutions

and establishments the light of the rightness. When we review some of the

effects of the mosque on these establishments we find that it has positive

effects on them by teaching people the rightness without extremism.

Research Two:

Friday Sermon and its effect on security of the society:

Friday Sermon is the source of light for security, peace and rightness. It is

role in the society is clear and established as it is the first support and great

pillar to achieve social security. It deepens the unity and eliminate the

differences. It feeds the society with social and mental orientation. Although

these meanings have effective meanings in the Friday Sermon, its role is not

effective if the one who performs it does not convey the meanings




effectively of it and show its effective role in the life of the individual and

society.

On Friday, many prayers attend the Sermon of and they need some one to

remind them and draw their attention and direct them to the right way, solve

the society problems, contribute in rectifying the public life, return the

individual to the religion and its principles, spread the soul of love and good

relations among people. The person who conveys the Sermon and the Imam

of the mosque is more effective and have more impression on the crowd than

any other means that affect the society.

The speaker uproots the wickedness from the criminal and make him afraid

of Allah. He makes him like the rightness, accept the fairness, cooperate

with people, rectify the souls, awake the emotions in the people and educate

them to do the good things and cool down the selves. He takes the directions

from the book of Allah and from sunna of prophet Mohammed PBUH. In

order to be effective, the scientists took care of it and mentioned factors of

its success and benefits:

Requirement one: Factors of the Sermon success:

(Understand the situation) the speaker will not succeed in his mission

unless he attracts his listeners in a good effective method. He should be

aware of the current situation and the fluctuation in the environment. He




should rectify the wrong concepts in Islam and face the bad ideas be

presenting the correct Islam and its advantages of forgiveness,

comprehensiveness, balance, depth and positive ness. To achieve the object

of the Sermon it should be linked to the events of the society and the human

beings situation. It should concentrate on treatment of society problems,

provide solutions. It should fix the Islamic brotherhood and resist the racism

and differences.

(Urge to obey the ruler) The speakers should concentrate on the security of

the society, its stability, spread of peace, and relieve it from differences and

motives of sin and difference. They should urge the prayers to strengthen

their faith and fear of Allah and his punishment. They should call them to

observe Allah orders and good conduct, get the benefits of the current life

and the judgment day. Islam will establish security in the society and taking

care of the human being and the social life and prevent society from riot and

violence and prevent the criminals from doing their acts.

Obeying the ruler and respecting his personality is very important to avoid

differences and riots. The wise people understand these meanings and know

the consequences. They know that they have to yield to the provisions of

Islam. It is a sign of unity when the people obey the rulers and gather around

their leadership. This will be the way for their progress and development and

that provide protection of the society against wickedness. The suspected

criminals shall be reported and it is the responsibility of each Muslim to




(Mediation and Fairness): The call of Islam for mediation and fairness is

one of the important things that should be explained to the people. He should

explain to them that they should feel that Islam concentrates on fairness and

balance. Some people especially youth may become extremists due to their

ignorance of Islam and they call others as unbelievers or secular and this has

bad effects on the society.

(Care of Youth) The speaker has effective role in directing the people

especially the youth to comply with the right path and follow the Allah

instructions and strengthen the religious incentives and purify the self, show

the privileges of being straight and the bad effects of the deviation. They

should fear Allah and if a criminal escape from punishment in this life, he

will not escape from the punishment of Allah in the day after. The five

necessities of Islam should be explained. They are the protection of religion,

self, mind, honor and money. Islam warned of spoiling and assaulting on

these necessities. Islam has put penalties for violation of these necessities in

order to prevent aggression on them. These punishments have been approved

to overcome the terrorist gangs which threaten the peaceful people and

spread fear among them.

The speaker bears a major responsibility in instructing people especially the

youth of the security controls that stipulated by the Islamic jurisdiction to

protect the society from the crime, protect from deviation, fight of terrorism

acts and bad conducts which seek violation of the public system and




breaching of the security and killing and robbery of properties and money,

stirring of conflict and differentiation between Muslim groups. Any

violation of the Islamic jurisdiction is considered aggression, violation of

these rules.

(Relation with Non-Muslims)

The speaker shall explain from the Mosque to the people the superior

Islamic values, the fair situations, the Islam view to non-Muslims in the

Islamic society. The existence of non-Muslim groups living among Muslims

is an evidence of forgiveness of Islam and avoiding differentiation and

discrimination. Islam spreads love, security, calmness and coherence

between all people. Some of the Islamic society advantages, is the coherence

and living between all community individuals. This principle was the first

one that Prophet Mohammed was interested to establish in the first Islamic

state in Madinah to establish combined security system with all groups of

the society. He considered that the provision of security is one of the most

important requirements. The society included other groups in addition to

Muslims. Islam put provisions and rules that regulate the relation of

Muslims with other non-Muslim societies throughout the generation and

during all times.

Islam approved the secured social living with peaceful residents in the

Islamic State and permitted to eat their food and slaughtered animals. It

approved marriage with them and prophet Mohamed PBUH recommended




to keep the rights of other believers, maintain their blood and money and not

to assault against them. Abdullah Ibn Amru Ibn Alass said that the prophet

Mohammed PBUH said (if someone kills the covenant person he will not

find the smell of paradise).

This indicates the soul of Islam and its justice. This soul is for the whole

human being to spread mercy and security and strengthen the human

relations. Islam strengthen the relations between all elements of society and

respects the covenant and agreements and does not accept betraying.

Requirement Two:

Tracking the Sermons of the Two Holy Mosques see clearly the attitude of

the speakers in understanding the current situation, follow up the first event

including fighting violence, terrorism and bad acts. The terrorism events that

happened in our country are considered crimes. We are happy that Makkah

mosque Sermon is broadcasted directly by satellites via Saudi TV (channel

one) and Madinah mosque Sermon is broadcasted via channel two. Also

Saudi broadcasting stations of the general program in Riyadh and second

program in Jeddah participate in this broadcasting and that give the sermon

more importance and attention in the Islamic world.




Research Three : Scientists and Propagators. Allah has honored this

Ummah by the scientists and propogators whose core of work is to call

people and guide them to the right path and to justice and good deeds by

being easy, wise, and have full knowledge of Quran and sunnah. In

implementing wisdom to convince others there was a gradual method in

dealing with others. In Quran there are principles that should be considered

and observed by scientists and propogators which include three steps of

propagation starting from wisdom which is very important and should not be

neglected while dealing with others. Therefore, extremism is not right and if

it is not solved it may lead to negative impact on propagation for Islam.

In this case the scientists shall exert all efforts to subscribe the right effective

medicine for this disease. They are entrusted to be inherent of prophets.

They should teach those who are involved in such acts and discuss their

ideas and their psychological status. Scientists are assigned to bear

responsibilities to order bring happiness for the nation in its presence and

future. All are united to overcome terrorism and eliminate this phenomena.

Scientists are required to perform their duty to stand against this

phenomenon and protect the society from corruption by those deviators who

want to destroy the society and break its unity and security.




One of their first objectives is to fight the terrorism conduct and protect the

interests of individuals and society. This is objective is that for all other

previous religions. There the fives necessities that should be protected:

maintain religion, self, mind, birth and money.

Scientists shall explain their five matters and stand in front of the one who

tries to violate any of them. The terrorism conduct shall be overcome by

discovering the reasons for this misconduct. The persons who practice such

acts shall studies and their personalities shall be verified to know their ideas

and review their forums in the modern means of communications and know

their leaders and how they think.

Scientists shall explain the religion and the danger of these extremists. They

should activate the national loyalty of the country and the people and the

principles and valued fundamentals which identify their behavior. For

example the youth shall be encouraged love Makkah, Madinah and Palestine

and try to defend them. The bad conduct of terrorism has bad effects on our

religion as in the view of non-Muslims it will be considered as it is religion

of terrorism. This what is now spread in the mass media by the offenders of

Islam. Therefore, we should overcome such behaviors of terrorism and shall

show patience and good ethics.




Research Four : (Terrorism & Legal Jurisdiction). Jurisdiction is one of

the main mandatory after belief in Allah. It is ordered by Allah and He sent

his prophets PBUH to execute that and then their follower took that role.

Terrorism in its wide recent concept means the acts related to aggression

made by criminals and aggressors to frighten secured people and kill them,

cause instability to society security either by act, saying or procedure and

this what is called by the Sharia scientists (corruption on the earth). This

term is used now a days for such acts and it is considered a crime and the

one who commit it shall be punished as per legal jurisdiction.

The Jurisdiction View to Terrorism:

First: The Sharia texts stipulated that corruption in the earth is forbidden as

mentioned in Al-Hadeeth Al-Qudsi.

Also, in the verses of Quran he says (Don't corrupt on the earth after

rectifying it).

Also, old Muslim scholars such as Ibn Katheer and AlQurtibi explained that

Allah called for no corruption.

Second: Terrorism acts takes the shape of violence and fear for those living

in the society. Therefore, the terrorist does not care to terrify peaceful people

or fighters as he does not differentiate between women, children and old

people. Therefore, he attacks residential compounds where women and




children live as well as hospitals and education institutions. All society

resources are subject to terrorism attacks and that is considered by the

jurisdiction as aggression on the country's capabilities.

Third:

The terrorism acts deformed the picture of the Islamic society and harmed

the nation because the Islam is accused of terrorism. The reason that some

extremists who pretend Islam conducted bad behavior considering that as

part of Islam. No doubt that the terrorism acts made some people who hate

Islam to accuse it of terrorism, and they were keen to make people hate to

become Muslims.

Jurisdiction Procedures to investigate terrorists and their crimes.

1. Obtain assistance from the experts to give their opinion in

matters related to investigation.

2. The investigator should go to the place of the crime

immediately when it is reported to make inspection before

evidences are removed.

3. Search the houses where the terrorist lives and also search his

body.

4. Listen to the sayings of the witnesses unless the investigator

deems that there is no need for listening to them.




5. Question the accused person, confirm his personality, inform

him of the matter accused of and face him with other accused

persons or witnesses.

6. Retain the accused person after investigation if it is found that

there are enough evidences to charge him, or for the sake of

investigation he shall be uphold.

7. If the evidences are enough against the accused person they will

be presented to the court where he shall attend after

investigation. After proving the crime and following rules shall

apply:

First: The juristic principle which show the crime, and identify

the penalty.

Second: The Crime purpose: to qualify for imposing penalty.

Third: execute or start its stages. The person who is accused

will be subject to penalty to preserve the society and its

interests.

The preventive and remedial precautions for terrorism incidents:

1. Spread the awareness and knowledge among people so that the

citizens will coordinate to have the perfect method and strongest way

to support.




2. Take care of the rehabilitation aspects of the person committed the

crime because cutting the reasons of crime will prevent their

occurrence.

3. Direct the penalties through the best way that defend the crimes and

eliminate them.

4. Impose proper penalties for crimes even if they are small and not

related to terrorism incidents, because crimes and violations may lead

to others.

5. Enforce penalties on the crime incidents if they are combined by

terrorism.

6. Find penalties that the support the basic penalties as required such as

announcement.

7. Impose precisely and accurately the juristic penalties for the crimes

because Allah has decided that to rectify the affairs of the people.

8. Develop the juristic and security organizations which track the crime

before occurrence. It proposes the juristic recommendations and

proper social and scientific remedies.

Juristic Penalties on the Terrorism Incidents

Juristic penalties can be divided based on the terrorism incidents to several

divisions based on the crime. These penalties may be stipulated by Allah or

estimated by the judge depending on the crime. Such penalties include:

1. Penalty for planning




2. Penalty for urging

3. Penalty for assistance

4. Penalty for starting the crime and not preventing it.

5. Penalty for execution.

6. Penalty for knowing and not reporting (covering).

For each act of crime there shall be penalty. The above order does not mean

the order of penalties. A planner may deserve more penalty that executor.

The penalty shall be approved by Sharia and shall be limited to the criminal

and not to any who has not contributed in that crime.




Research Five: (Family)

Requirement One: Islam Care of Family

Islam gives more attention to the family and consider it as the first cell of the

society. Islam clarified all details, small or big, related to the family.

Family is the human umbrella necessary to build the self and practice the

calm happy life. Building this complementary family of the man and woman

is made by marriage to fulfill the inherited desires and meet the emotional

and body requirements. This will achieve a moderate and fair method that

fulfill the desires and does not spread sexual freedom. Practicing the calm

happy life is through the family which compose a small gathering the make

coordination and build a family that overcomes the living problems. In this

life they spread love, calmness, peace and satisfaction. The Muslim family is

the first forte where the child grows in Islamic education. The most

important objective of the family is to form the family and apply the Islamic

rules. This means to build the Islamic house which build itself on slavery to

Allah. Therefore, the child will be educated to achieve that objective by

acquiring the Islamic habits of his parents under he becomes mature and

aware of life. If both the wife and the husband live together in a mutual

respecting and merciful life, then their children will live in a calm family

environment away from anxiety and psychological sickness which weaken

his personality or create in him the violence and terrorism. Parents are




responsible for education of their sons and protect them from loss and

hellfire that wait every one who does not believe in Allah.

Although the family relations are correlated, we would like to highlight the

relation of parents with their sons. This relation has been arranged in the

Quran verses.

Requirement Two: the Family Function: Family is the basis for building the

human structure, with respect to spiritual, intellectual, doctrine, body,

emotional, and social aspects. Therefore, we found that Islam was careful to

make this structure to ensure that the new borne are free from inherited

diseases which lead to delivery of disabled new borne. After birth, the

family has the role of building the spiritual and doctrine structure of the

human being after birth.

Islam has stated the provisions for family and indicated the secrets behind

these provisions in many verses of Quran and Hadith, such as inheritance,

marriage, divorce, and stated the good relation between the family members.

There are limits that should be considered in order for the family to live

happy life and educate its members to learn the Islamic teachings. This cell

will be good to accommodate good men and women. By this the human

beings know each others and coordinate and have free movement and travel,

trading and other interests between human beings. By ensuring to have good

individuals in the family, the whole family to trend to good deeds and the




reasons for violence and other crimes in the society will eliminate. However,

there are other reasons for terrorism, violence and extremism in various

societies although the family structure remained the same. The family

contributed in that by exposing its members to some strange ideas not

available before. Satellites and internet penetrated in the privacy of the

Muslim family. Despite our understanding of their importance and benefits,

we know that they have can be harmful if they are misused because in this

case they will lead to bad results. If they are best utilized they will have great

benefits. Therefore, the parents play a major role to follow up the sons

activities and prevent them from following the deviated paths which spread

corruption. The Muslim family is targeted for corruption and spoiling of

their youth to be extremists and terrorists being away from the family

control which is supposed to be fully aware of the movements of the sons

and daughters and their social relations and the parties they contact and get

ideas form. Parents shall watch them so that they will not be surprised by the

change in the habits of their sons by contacting suspected parties. Disasters

may occur in many cases, therefore, the family should be aware of its role

and should work according to the Islamic Education principles and bear the

responsibility towards each of its members.

Requirement Three: It role in preventing deviation and crime:

There are seven basic functions performed by the family summarized as

follows:




• Produce economic and material and basic materials.

• Provide the individual his social position.

• Educate the children

• Develop the religion belief among kids.

• Protection

• Renew the activity

• Love

Although it is possible to protect the child by other social institutions, the

protection of the family is more effective since the family combines between

the personnel favorite response and the social strong care in the Arab and

Islamic societies. The family function extends to spirit of the human being

by teaching and directing it to the correct direction which matches the nature

of human being. By that combination the individual will be on the right path

and psychologically and socially secured. In addition, the family's function

in Islam is that it is the spring that feeds the child with the correct doctrine

and moderate thoughts from the Quran and Hadith.

The individual acquire his correct behavior and think techniques by the

social interaction and dealing with others. Parents are the first persons he

deals with, and they socialize the child because he obeys them and that

strengthens the relationship between the child and his parents. It is clear

there is a role of the family in developing the criminal behaviors of the child




since it bears the first responsibility for his appearance of any criminal

conducts. The family also is responsible for forming the correct behavior

since the children imitate their parents. Also, the problems and contradiction

inside the family may develop this attitude. The family is the first social

institution prepare and develop the child as per the society requirements. The

family is the first bricks in the society after the individual and as such it

bears a big responsibility because if the family is good the society will be

good. The family is the only social basis which is organic rather than

functional. Therefore, it gives it the opportunity to loosen the psychological

and material stresses on the individuals.

Accordingly, the family is responsible for direction of the children to the

doctrine, intellectual and cultural principles. We have mentioned Hadith that

the new baby is born on Islam and his parents make him a Jew, Christian or

majosi either by his father or mother.

The family has a great role in the social security as it is the first defense line

against bad things. However, it cannot play this role unless its strong in its

structure and its internal and external relations. One of the important aspects

that family should take care of is the social planning for children and their

activities and practices especially during summer holidays in order to utilize

their time. There is a close relation between the misuse of the free time

available for the children with their friends and tribe individuals and the bad

conduct and deviation. Therefore, the free time should be best utilized by

sport, cultural and social activities.




The family by its attention to have correct social education and best

utilization of free time with other various social institutions will have

valuable contribution in making up the good person in the society who will

provide security to the society now and in future.




Research Six : (School)

Requirement One: The Security Role of the School

The student, curriculum, teacher and school environment are basic

fundamentals to plant moderate and fairness or charge the violence and

extremism. We cannot discuss the role of the school in fighting the extremist

thoughts apart from the development and discovering of our mistakes in

teaching and its outputs. Teaching in Islamic society is based on teaching the

student to memorize the information until he passes the exam. He only stores

this information without understanding it. Therefore, they will be easy to be

attracted by other thoughts which the will be more stringent to implement

without thinking or discussion. They will be easy tools for practical and

mental implementation. Activation of the school's role to fight deviated

behavior should be based on teaching the students by dialogue that is based

on thinking and innovation and will make the student thinks about the

matters and see the reality from several corners. In this case he will be

preserved from attraction by deviated thoughts which call for violence and

terrorism. The school represented by its teachers and staff shall identify the

targeted parties in the big society which will be subject to the bad ideas and

shall direct them and establish special programs for them. The inability to

accommodate the student's needs may lead them to practice the crime

behaviors outside the school and they will be easy hunt for terrorism groups

to implement their thoughts. Therefore, the teacher represents the core to get




the information to the student and if the teach does not have strong

command of the material he presents to the student he will not be able to

give him the information in a correct way and accordingly the education

process will fail. Teachers are the alternatives for parents outside the family.

Some teachers assist the students to overcome some defects and problems

that affect his understanding, while others may negatively affect the

students. They should be an example to their students by learning from them

the best dealing and behavior.

Requirement Two: The School role in fighting terrorism, violence and

extremism.

The school bear the main role in decreasing the criminal attitude of the

society individuals. Security is closely linked with education and teaching.

When the noble ethical values are planted in the society individuals the

security will spread and the feeling of stability is spread. Education is one of

the important parties the plays a vital and important role to preserve

structure of society and its stability. Education transfer the social values and

standards from one generation to another. Education unites the society and

strengthens the national loyalty and unity among his individuals. Therefore,

the school has a security role to fight violence, terrorism and extremism

despite the claims of failure of education curriculums to teach the children

the positive social values and standards. There have been positive elements

of the curriculums on the stability of the social and cultural system in society




and they assisted directly on keeping the security in the past which is not all

bad. Present is not necessarily the best.

Requirement Three: Islamic Education Curriculums

It is the best evidence of the success of the teaching curriculums in fighting

violence and extremism. It has an active role in serving the security for

students. Islamic education materials have been taught all through the

academic stages from preliminary to high classes in all Arab and Islamic

countered. These materials strengthen and establish the Islamic doctrine in

the students in the primary classes. This is reflected on the student and make

him good citizen maintain the security of his nation. Reviewing the primary

stages of Islamic education we find that it concentrates on the Quran verses

and Hadith that teach the student the good values and warn him from

committing violation, and corruption in the earth and make him discuss

important issues of security such as the effects of conflict between Muslims.

The moderate Islamic education teaches the security culture to the students

and take them away from suspected matters. It discusses some important

subjects to them in view of the book and sunnah during the advanced stages

of their age. Those who develop the curriculums consider to eliminate riot,

and extremism and encourage moderation. Therefore, it is clarified that




weapon even by indication shall not be used to frighten Muslims. Bearing

weapons by Muslims to fight each other is forbidden. There are some

security subjects related to society security and protection form crime which

are contained in the Islamic education, including penalties, prevention of

bloodshed, ordering obey of the ruler, suicide forbidden, dealing with non-

Muslims, controls of calling non-believer. The Islamic Fiqeh contains many

subjects and writings in the past and now regarding identification of crime,

division, and harmful effects on the society and the penalty for the one who

commits violation on order to prevent him from committing that crime.

However, in some Islamic schools the religion education is not strong and it

is a minor subject by in Saudi Arabia it plays a major role in security

education to preserve the society from crime and deviation. This is in

addition to other subjects that plays a major role in this issue. However, the

teacher remains the most important factor of success of the education

process to achieve good results based on the education policy of the

Kingdom which confirms that education of the faithful citizen is the basic

objective of this policy in order to be a good brick in building his nation and

country and defend them as required. Therefore, the school in the Saudi

society plays a vital role to spread security feeling among the student.

Nationalism has recently become an important matter that should be

considered by the socialists, psychologists and politicians in order to create a

feeling of loyalty to the official authority. The important role of the school is

to confirm the national education where security is realized when all feel of

the responsibility towards the nation. Nationalism is not a material of




teaching but rather it is a behavior through which interaction is made by all

study materials. Teacher, school and it staff shall set an example in front of

the students to confirm the nationality loyalty concept so that it becomes a

behavior and a practice and not only theoretical material taught apart from

the reality. The modern societies opt that the school as a teaching institution

shall have social function goes along with the social developments in life.

School is called small society where students are trained on the local work

and on bearing the responsibility as they accept the meanings of discipline,

and rightness and duty. Some calls the school as an organization institute

that serve the society and study the environment, resources, requirements

and the people's participation in funding its projects because it is the only

institution linked to all individuals. The school function is a social institution

has developed to participate in big society works after it was isolated. It

allowed the fathers and mothers to enter the school to discuss the interests of

their sons and school. The expansion of the school calls to understand the

importance of this entity. Home performs his role and duties and send his

children to the school where the education system teaches those children the

good things through syllabus in order to be good citizens in their future days.

It is the factory of youth, male and female, who will lead the society one

day. The danger is to misuse these minds by giving the students ideas

presented as they are the right ideas although they are subject to rejection.

We have a problem of deviation from the teaching process by some teachers

because the relation between the student and his teacher is not limited in the

classroom, but it goes to other activities whereat strange ideas may be




seed that increases the spirit of aggression, violence, extremism and

terrorism.

Research Seven:

Security Institutions: Security is the basis for each organization because it is

the backbone for the human life and basis of civilization and development in

all fields of knowledge, art, culture, commerce and tourism and omrah

performance. The security agencies are assigned to maintain security for

these accomplishments. Tracking the development of the Ministry of Interior

in the world we find that it includes various dvisions taking care of security

in addition to colleges, acadamies and technical training activities aims to

upgrade the level of security men. Security activities are known for all and

they are to protect the system, public security, protect lives, honors, and

funds. Security men shall ensure the calmness and stability.

The control conducted by security forces is primarily related to those who

are isolated from society and who cannot be controlled unless a policeman is

put on each street corner to watch . The society needs conditions to decrease

the violence and disturbance. These conditions shall be provided within the

frame of traditions and social customs and systems that serve the society and

maintain it. Security forces in the advanced societies are responsible for the

society and serve it. To perform their responsibilities, security forces shall

assume four missions:

1. control of crime.




2. prevent crime

3. organize behavior

4. prepare for service.

The bright history of security work in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia makes

us understand the important and dangerous role assumed by these forces

which have different skill and training. However, the last terrorist attacks

implemented inside the Kingdom forced us to think about a mysterious

sickness we did not expect to be among us. The security forces have

controlled the situation and after chasing the terrorists who implemented

their bad deeds, they started to discover planned operations before

implementation and this is hoped by all citizens and residents. I am sure that

our security leaderships are able to dissolve the terrorism cells and uproot

them. Those who are alive will go back to his nation after he finds right path

and the wrong path. All efforts, civil and security, shall be correlated to

bridge the gap and unit and foster the defense to face terrorism and curtail it

to the minimum.

The duty of society towards the security forces: security is necessary for

life and one factor of continuity. Security cannot be achieved without its

men whatever the names and functions of keeping security. Under security

honor and properties are preserved, and life continue by protecting the

individuals. Weakness of security is the first spark for internal fighting

especially that disturbance is much easier than control it. In case of lack of




security, killing, assassination and explosions and other terrorism acts may

occur. The efforts of security forces are very clear and shall be appreciated

since they controlled big quantities of weapons and explosions by being used

such as C4, TNT, grenades, biological materials, RBG which were presented

by the mass media. One TNT is enough to destroy a building area of 100

meters, PBX is enough to destroy a building of 10 floors. Security forces

have been able to control such operation before occurrence. They should be

supported against these terrorists, because their work as part of the Jihad and

I ask our people to understand their searching and the long lines on check

points for the interest of the society. They are standing under climate

changes for long time and bear the insults of some people in order to protect

us especially during these critical times.

Killing of the security men during inspection and attacks of terrorist places

is a bad thing and should be strongly condemned. The scenes of their dead

bodies of security forces shall be remembered and consider them as martyrs

since the protect the holiest places. They should be patient and track the

criminals and overcome them. Their efforts are appreciated and their

activities are permitted. Investigation includes follow up and retain to find

the truth. Spying is forbidden if it is uncover Awrah and violation of

preserved things for sake of desire and that is not part of security men

activities.




Security men are part of the society and congratulations for parents, wives

and children of the security forces for their being in this important

organization. He performs the great job by keeping the security of the holy

places from the criminals and their work is part of Jihad and they should

support them. It is good for the security man to see his father, brother or

family member appreciates and support him to face the problems. The wife

shall consider the situation of her husband to decrease its demand since his

time is not for him but for all especially in this critical situation.

Research Eight: Local and International Meetings and Forums

It is good to see the decision makers respond and support the meetings for

fighting terrorism. These meetings show the correct view and stand of Islam

towards terrorism and violence and that it rejects all types of aggression on

others or frightening them by any means especially those who are living in

the Kingdom of the other religion believers. The Kingdom hospitalized two

international conferences about terrorism in 1423 and 1425 and both

conferences had good coverage by mass media from all over the world. The

conveyed the real attitude of Islam in fighting terrorism. This is in addition

to local meetings arranged by various social institutions.

Research Nine : (The Electronic Terrorism)

Terrorists found a wide space to spread their false ideas and call for their bad

principles in the internet where they freely launch their activities under false

names through their sites and their audible or video forums and even the

chatting rooms called pal talk that becomes one of their targets to feed the

terrorism ideas and attract many youth and supporters and get from them

financial and moral support by various possible means under names of

(Tafjeer.com) and (Takfeer.com). Such sites have taught the methods and

means to perform terrorism operations by establishing sites to teach how to

manufacture explosives and ways of assassination and burning of critical

establishments and the best ways to kidnap and clean the small arms and the

first aids and how to attack policemen and also spread all methods to destroy

and access sites and e-mails and how to enter barred sites and how to spread

viruses.

Internet is a secured place for meeting: Although the meetings of terrorists

and criminals in a certain place to learn terrorism and crime methods are

difficult be held on nature, the internet has facilitated that because several

persons can meet at a certain time and exchange the talk and listen to each

other on the internet. The may get supporters by spreading their ideas and

principles via internet sites, and dialogue forums and the chatting rooms.

Although it is difficult to establish TV and broadcasting station as mass

media, it is easy to create internet site, utilize the dialogue forums to serve




the terrorist objectives. There are thousands of sites for terrorism

organizations to ensure wide spread so if some sites destroyed others can be

reached.

Terrorists found these digital means and information revolution to be their

best means in the electronic terrorism.

The Kingdom's efforts in fighting terrorism.

The Kingdom is distinguished by depending on Quran and Sunnah as a

ruling in all life affairs. Therefore, dealing with the information technology

as other fields of life are subject to Sharia. In view these provisions the

respective agencies set forth bylaws stipulating the rights and duties of all

parties. The government issued some bylaws and regulations and

instructions to face the electronic assault and terrorism. These regulations

stipulated penalties for violation of these rules such as the resolution of the

minister's cabinet No. 163 on 1417H which provided rules and controls to

use the internet and subscribe in it, including:

1. Prohibit access or try to access to any computer systems

connected to internet without permission from the owner or

those who have the ownership rights for such systems,

information and resources.

2. Prevent sending or receiving coded information without

permission from the service provider.




3. prevent access to other accounts and try to use them without

permission.

4. prevent others from participation in using others accounts and

inform them of the pass word of the user.

5. comply to respect internal regulations for local and international

networks upon access to.

6. prevent from exposing the intranet to danger by opening

security gaps in it.

7. abandon extensive use of the network to get busy so that others

may not make use of it.

8. comply with the instruction issued from the internet service unit

at King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology with

controls and policies to utilize the network.

9. The resolution stated formation of permanent committee

chaired by Ministry of Interior and membership of Ministries

of: Defense, Finance, Culture and Information, Telecom and IT,

Commerce, Islamic Affairs, Planning, High Education,

Education, Intelligence Headquarters, King Abdulaziz City for

Science and Technology to discuss fields of control and

utilization of internet and coordinate with other parties

especially:

a. Security control related to incoming and outgoing

information through the external line of the internet

which contradicts to our religion and regulations.




or computer networks and identify their types and security

indications and apply the technical procedures for security of

software's and networks and admin procedures to use

information. This type of crimes is committed by different

categories but the most dangerous of that is the organized

crimes which are committed by the computer for stealing banks

and commercial firms including the theft of credit card numbers

and the pin numbers and spread them on the internet. This

category uses the computer to manage its illegal activities such

as drugs and money wash. Although the categories are different

but their means are similar in many aspects. Therefore, the

security organizations need a lot of work to develop their

abilities to deal with computer crimes so that the investigator

will be able to deal with the electronic tools of hardware and

software.

The electronic terrorism became a horrible thing in the world

which is subject to terrorism attacks through internet. Terrorists

attack from anywhere in the world. These risks increase by days

because technology only is not able to protect people from the

electronic terrorism operations which caused significant

damages to people, organizations and countries. These efforts

are not enough to face this dangerous weapon.




E-terrorism becomes a danger for all world and its danger is

due to its easy use and severe effects. It can be used from home,

office, coffee shop and hotel room.

Factors to reserve the society from the e-terrorism:

Dr. Abdurrahman concluded factors to protect society from the e-terrorism:

First: the transactions related to IT as other fields of life shall be subject to

jurisdiction laws of the Quran and sunnah. In view of such laws, the

respective agencies shall put the specific regulations for laws and

obligations of other parties. The juristic and security institutions shall

implement such laws and regulations and resolve the disputes.

Second: one of the most means used in e-terrorism is using the e-mail to

make contacts and exchange information. There are many terrorism

operations occurred recently, the e-mail was one of the means for

exchange of information between those who performed these

operations.

Three: penetration of the e-commerce is assault on the privacy of others and

their information. Allah forbid spying and the Sharia kept the human

personal right and considered aggression on other rights as Haram.

Legally it is forbidden to attach internet site and that is considered

damage and shall be subject to penalty.

Fourth: Terrorists design and construct internet sites to spread their ideas and

call for their principles and teach the methods to assist them implement




their terrorist act. Sites are created to teach explosions manufacturing

and how to penetrate sites and e-mail and how to enter barred sites and

spread viruses.

Fifth: Bar the bad sites which calls for corruption including those call for

terrorism and aggression on others.

Six: Although it is important to apply the provisions and rules to control the

e-transactions which become a means of e-terrorism, the efforts are still

in the initial stages. The resolutions and bylaws do not cover all new

matters in IT activities. There is no security sections and specialized

courts and information products for many society categories.

Seven: Security organizations need a lot of work to develop their capabilities

to deal with computer crimes and protect from them. Procedures shall

be developed to discover crime and provide the evidence for the

jurisdiction parties. Also, awareness shall be spread about the computer

crimes and the penalties for that. New security organizations shall be

created to investigate computer crimes and coordinate with other

countries for protection against these crimes.

Eight: the Kingdom exert extensive efforts to fight e-terrorism and issued

several regulations and bylaws, instructions and resolutions to face the

electronic aggression and terrorism. In addition, training courses were

conducted regarding the subject of computer crimes by participation of

international specialists.

Ninth: At the worldwide level and to go along with the tremendous

development in IT, regulations are issued to control electronic




transaction. These transactions included penalties for violators of e-

transactions and fight the terrorism fighting.

Research Ten: (Intellectual Security)

The intellectual security for the society is one of the main terrorism fighting

means. It is a major requirement for each nation and necessary for its

stability.

Islam has been interested to prevent aggression on the Muslim society

doctrine and any attempt to change that or violate the intellectual security

and divert the thought specially among the youth. The intellectual security

is disturbed when there is no reference for Fatwa in matters related to the

society and its relation with others including the relation with non-Muslims.

The society needs to understand the balance, moderation and the spread of

that among its members, young or old in this environment where the satellite

audio and video broadcasting and the internet flood with all their advantages

and disadvantages which provide various sources of receiving information,

not limited in school, mosque, family and society organizations. This flood

carried many bad things including the bad behavior and morals which made

the moderate current lose many of its supporters to become more liberate or

more extremists.

Preventive methods to protect the intellectual security:




1. Show that Islam is moderate and balanced and establish loyalty of

youth to this moderate religion and make them proud of that to stay on

that method and do not support extremism and liberation.

2. Know diverted ideas and protect the youth against that by teaching the

youth about these ideas and their mistakes before they get impacted of

that diverted thoughts.

3. Give the full opportunity for dialogue inside the society and rectify

any diversion by the evidence and convince otherwise bad ideas will

spread and be adopted to disturb the society security.

4. Pay attention to schools, mosques, home to avoid isolation between

fathers and their sons and the teachers and their student and between

the mosque speakers and the audience. In the blast terrorist incidents

we found that some who committed such acts have been isolated from

their families for long time.

5. Doa (ask Allah) This has significant effect in the intellectual security

and it has been neglected by many people.

Remedial Means to protect the intellectual security:

1. Ask the person who committed the mistake to return and find the right

path for calm discussion without accusation of intentions because they

may be right.

2. Avoid the un-useful methods that take a lot of effort and time which

may be take a lot of effort and time but its results are limited.




3. Should control them and prevent them form violating the intellectual

security of the society even if that leads to force them not to mix with

others to avoid their wickedness. .

4. Avoid sitting with the bearers of deviated thoughts who want to sink

the ship of society.

5. It is necessary to differentiate between the deviated thoughts which do

not result in action and the violation of security of the society. Any

one who commits a destructive acts shall be subject to penalty.

Historical overview of the explosions in Saudi Arabia:

A series of terrorism operations occurred in the Kingdom and killed several

innocent people. These operations can be summarized as follows:

1. Explosion in Makkah in 1409H

2. Explosion of car in Olaya quarter in Riyadh city in 1416H.

3. Four explosions of cars in three compounds in Riyadh 1424H.

4. Explosion of car in the old Public Security building in Washem in Riyadh

in 1425H.

This is in addition to several partial explosions in which killed some

innocent persons and policemen in various areas in the Kingdom. By the

help of Allah, several mined vehicles and weapons, grenades and small arms

have been controlled. In 1424, 1425H, 22 terrorism operations occurred in




the Kingdom resulted in killing 90 persons, 507 injuries and billions of

Riyals of losses. Security forces were able to kill 92 criminal and injured 17

of them and stopped implementation of 52 operations.

In 1400 the Kingdom witnessed armed assault on the Holy mosque in

Makka, led by Juhaiman Al-Otaibi, claiming that Al-Mahdi has appeared.

They committed the worst crime by frightening people in the Holy mosque.

The country was able to capture them and execute the legal penalties.

The Kingdom's effort in fighting terrorism

The Kingdom is part of the world and it doesn't accept terrorism and tries to

eliminate this phenomena to protect its society from the risks of terrorism. It

is important area on the world map and it was subject to some terrorism

operations. It is the source of Islam and such it will be subject to terrorism

which frightens the secured people, kill innocent, destroy vital installations

and country properties. The Kingdom played a major role in fighting

terrorism as part of its Islamic responsibility. The Quran and Sunnah

stipulated provisions to fight terrorism as mentioned before.

The basic system of the government stipulated that (the Kingdom of Saudi

Arabia is an Arab Islamic state with full superiority. Religion is Islam and

the statue is the Quran and Sunnah).




Therefore, the Kingdom stand towards the terrorism is the same like the

Islamic stand based on sunnah and Quran.

Endorsement of Terrorism Penalty and Implementation: A strong

penalty against terrorism has been approved as per the fatwa from the Senior

Committee of Scientists as per Fatwa No. 148 for the year 1409 issued at

Taif when they confirmed that Islam considers terrorism as aggression and

corruption in the land because it is fighting against Allah, prophet and

human beings. This fatwa has been actually implemented in cases of Al-

Haram incident in 1400H and Olaya explosion in 1416 and other cases of

aggression against security of society and its people.

Spread of moderation and fairness: All society institutions, governmental

and national, are establishing the principle of moderation and treatment of

extremism among all society individuals. They use all available means to

spread the moderate culture via mass media so that the message will reach

all society classes.

International Participation

The country participate in all international conferences organized by

institutions interested in fighting terrorism. Furthermore, it also organized

meetings and invited international personalities such as the holding the

international conference for fighting terrorism held in Riyadh with




participation of 57 countries and organizations. A meeting was also

organized by Imam Mohamed Ibn Saud University about Islam stand

towards terrorism whereat approximately 200 newsmen have participated

from all over the world.

Clarify the Picture for Abroad: The Kingdom spread the real picture of

fighting terrorism through its embassies, centers and institutions all over the

world by conveying the real Islam and the call for it by wisdom as it is the

religion of forgiveness, and brotherhood and it is against violence, terrorism

and extremism.

Security Systems: Established security systems specialized in fighting

terrorism. Some of their responsibilities are to coordinate, cooperate and

exchange information with similar systems at the bilateral, regional and

international levels. They have been provided with the most advanced

technologies, and high level training for their staff considering the

developments of methods and rules to fight terrorism.

Local Level: at the local level the Kingdom proved to the world that it is

serious and hard in facing terrorist operations. The evidence of that is the

success of security forces in overcoming the corruptors who are apart from

the group. The Kingdom recruited all its organizations to protect the society

from their danger and eliminated or captured many of terrorists. It

discovered and prevent some terrorism operations before implementation. It




captured various types of weapons. The security and religious authorities

convinced some of them to abandon such thought and return to their

societies. Security teams and check points have been established to make the

citizen feel of security.

Intellectual References: The respective agencies in the Kingdom have

succeeded in convincing many Sheikh who affected the members of this

deviated group. They withdraw some of their fatwa which they confirmed

that they were wrong. Some of these sheikhs are Ali Al-Khodair, Nasir Al-

Omar and Ahmad Al-Khaldi. Also some wanted person announced that they

returned from their attitude such as Khalid Al-farraj, Abdulrahman Al-

Roshoud as broadcasted by the Saudi TV and radio and local newspapers

and other local, Arab and international mass media which took care of the

incidents and broadcasted that and supported that step from the Kingdom.

Royal Amnesty: One of the positive initiatives to overcome this local and

internal terrorism phenomena was the decree issued by the Custodian of the

Two Holy Mosques to give the terrorists a grace period of one month to

think and return and hand over themselves. This Amnesty has a big effect on

the Saudi society and it was acceptable. Some have yielded and they were

released from jail and involved in the social life.

Valued Awards: The Ministry of Interior promised to give a valuable

financial award for every one who shows cooperation with the security




forces and report about any terrorists and contribute in preventing terrorism

operations. This award exceeded SR 7 million in some cases. The society

interacted positively and cooperated with the security forces to fight

terrorism.

Continuous Call: The country followed a unique method in treatment of

some incidents of terrorism conducted by its people. It asked them to turn to

Allah and hand themselves to the security forces. The scientists approved

this step which leads to unite the nation and narrow the gap. This method

was a combination between the security solution and the intellectual

treatment. This was a successful policy at the short and long term.

Care of Policemen: The Kingdom represented by the Ministry of Interior

has exerted complementary efforts to upgrade the morals of the security

forces. Firstly they defend their country and holy places and that will be

awarded by Allah. The also received financial support by increasing their

salaries and give them two months award. Also the injured and the martyrs

families have been compensated for the damages occurred to them and the

society was satisfied by that. These families have received moral support

and assistance in searching for jobs for the sons of martyrs and facilitate

completion of study by giving them priority in scholarships.

Activation of the Arab Ministries of Interior Council resolutions. The

Kingdom contributed actively in several resolutions issued by the Arab




Ministries of Interior Council aimed to foster the security cooperation

between the Arab countries. Some of the most important:

Arab security strategy

Arab security strategy for fighting terrorism

Arab security strategy for civil protection
