Rilindja Demokratike

E ENJTE 29 shkurt 1996

Background of Crime

Terrorism, the guiding ideology of fundamentalists EDI PALOKA Religious radicalism in Algeria, besides appearing as a highly troubling phenomenon, is grounded in the ideas and theories of fundamentalists who use violence and terrorism as a means to achieve their goals. In the absence of a democratic ethic, Islamic terrorist groups in Algeria appear as a distorted and deadly ideology, disregarding human freedoms and the rules of the rule of law. Islamic terrorism in Algeria has come as a result of the failure to build an open society, but also of the influence of forces that support extremism. Those who preach violence as a political tool regard the opponent as an enemy to be eliminated, turning the conflict into a blind war against the civilian population. In Algeria, terror has struck intellectuals, journalists, women and children, creating an atmosphere of fear and general insecurity. Faced with this reality, the defense of democratic values and state institutions remains the essential condition for confronting terrorism and preserving public order.

“This is only the beginning of a series of other car bombs”
