Abstract
Terrorism has become a common phenomenon in the modern world, but often in various scientific works and media there are attempts to find a correlation between terrorism and Islamic law. This article provides a statistical analysis of terrorist acts in the world on the basis of which it aims to identify the major tendencies, as well as to highlight important conclusions backed by the information obtained. Islam’s view of the crime under investigation is also important within the research frame.
An institutional approach came as the methodological basis of this scientific article. It allowed the author to assess the influence of terrorism on the modern socio-political and economic situations.
In the course of statistical analysis of terrorist attacks in the world it was found that Muslim countries suffer the greatest damage from the harmful effects of terrorism, although Islam has radiant arguments for banning violations against the population as means of casting terror and achieving political goals. An important conclusion of the paper is the fact that there are various terrorist groups in the world that do not act for religious reasons. Moreover, the most important conclusion of the article is in understanding the necessity of addressing and solving social problems, which are considered to be the key factors of economic growth and the absence of which cultivates terrorism expansion.
