Al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab, Boko-Haram: The Terror Emirs

By Will Anthony, Jr

The supposedly democratic nations of the world may have declared a new war against "terrorism," but as it may turn out; no one is sure just what "terrorism" is or how to universally best define it. This includes the governments of the world put together; they are unable to declare terrorism in one word and this is confirmed by the US State Department, which says in a world terrorism report of 2000 that no one definition of terrorism has gained universal acceptance.
To many people world over, democratically elected governments included, the key elements to terrorism are obvious, which are; violence against constitutionally set institutions, attacking noncombatant targets, deep intention of spreading fear among the population and baffling political aims. Nevertheless, designing a sound and commonly accepted definition has proved difficult.
In the new emerging world order, Christians and Jews are no longer protected minorities under Islam. As a result, there is a dangerous trend among militant Islamist clerical authorities, especially from Saudi Arabia, justifying not only acts of terrorism against individuals, but also mass murder against whole groups of people regarded as infidels. Their call for the complete extermination of peoples means they have moved ideologically toward the justification of genocide.

Will Anthony Jr. is currently the Chairman of the Uasin Gishu County Land Control Board which caters for over one million people. Before this stint, he worked in other capacities with the National government. He has also been lecturer in three religious institutions, a service to the youth to gather knowledge from the aging population. In his life time, Will Anthony Jr. says he has met a lot of people and can unflinchingly say that he loved most of them. Why most of them? Well, it is a tall order to love everyone you meet! Will Anthony Jr. has written several e-books touching on diverse subjects that relate to society. The books extensively cover human social and economic practices and this is so because expertise in one field in Africa can become a drudgery according to his practical view. His perception is that if you were born in Africa and the continent is your aboriginal home, you are likely to have English as your second language (ESL). Sometimes it could even be a third language. For him, he had to learn his mother tongue then learn both English and Swahili simultaneously. He went to his pre-primary bare foot, later he joined the local primary school 5 Km away and had to trek barefoot again not because his parents could not buy him shoes but because cobblers were a rare find. That journey was a daily toil of 10 Km, 5 days in a week or ~270 days yearly for 7 years. With a smirk he says that when you achieve a PhD in Africa, then You have done Plenty of hard Digging (PhD) or you have a Permanent head Damage (PhD) and you might end up in a ditch because your IQ cannot contain the booze like the local fellas!"Why did the English colonize Africa?" To keep the African languages in Czech (check), and he says that one must forgive this pun. But besides the pun, English has broken both social and economic barriers of the once "dark continent" whose forefathers slaved the white farms and firms to lace the pockets of their Lords.A PhD holder in Africa will still practice other 'trades' though they maybe 'very' learned because poverty is shameless, one has to draw bounds through plenty of smart work or else, it will be a shame to steal so as to maintain class.He published a book in 1992, but the publisher coned him , he took her to court and the case aged in judicial corridors for 12 years. He then made a decision to abandon the matter and to forget about writing books. However, Self publishing made him to change that decision. More than anything, He salutes Smashwords Inc. for the platform.In retrospect, He recalls a Dr. Alfred Sam, a friend of his from North America who was also a dean of studies in a local university, exposing his white ass in the university's auditorium to catch attention. The noise ceased as students and lecturers turned to look at the grown-up man on the podium doing the abominable. Well, the good Dr. in anthropology then simply pulled up his trousers buckled the belt and said, "Thank You, now I have your attention..."For the sake of simplicity, without much display of academia, Will Anthony Jr. is a writer in the global village market . For this, he Salutes all his readers and all lovers of written work. In a word of caution, he says that men and women alike must bear. In reference, there is an Ibo saying that every market place has it's mad people who will attempt to mar the business of the seemingly sane people. On the other hand, the English say everyone is mad, it's only the degree madness that is at variance. Salutes most profoundly!

INTRODUCTION

The supposedly democratic nations of the world may have declared a new war against terrorism, but as it may turn out; no one is sure just what terrorism is or how to universally best define it. This includes the governments of the world put together; they are unable to declare terrorism in one word and this is confirmed by the US State Department, which says in a world terrorism report of 2000 that no one definition of terrorism has gained universal acceptance.

To many people world over, democratically elected governments included, the key elements to terrorism are obvious, which are; violence against constitutionally set institutions, attacking noncombatant targets, deep intention of spreading fear among the population and baffling political aims. Nevertheless, designing a sound and commonly accepted definition has proved difficult.

Are attacks on political leaders or on military personnel acts of terrorism? How about when a section of citizenry rises up and attack property because of dissatisfaction? Must terrorism be physically violent, or is it enough to instill fear? Can a war based on psychology be classified as terrorism? It can be viewed that the line between what we may perceive as terrorism by a defined/identified terrorist group and the unsavory brutal acts by a democratically elected government against its own people is very thin. When a president, whose term of office expires constitutionally, refuses to vacate office and wages a war against his citizens by using state machinery may actually amount to terrorism!

Among the many governmental agencies of the world, different definitions of terrorism are used. Some agencies hold that a government cannot commit acts of terrorism thus relegating terrorism acts to sub-national groups whose violent acts are politically instigated, but does not include instilling or spreading fear among the people.

Other agencies view terrorism as the use of illegal force or violence for the sole purposes of intimidation, coercion or ransom, but does not require it to be politically motivated. Other definitions propose that terrorism is the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. Some of the labeled terrorist groups actually do not hurt people but are hell bent on destruction of property.

Defining Terrorism at the end of the day hangs on the perception of the beholder. For example, how would a Jew define terrorism in view of the Palestinian people and how will a Palestinian define terrorism in view of the Jew? What would have the civilian standing on Pearl Harbor on that fateful day of the attack by Japanese suicide airborne bombers? And what would that woman in the streets of Hiroshima or Nagasaki thought concerning terrorism on that day the revenge bombs fell from the sky? When we say necessary force, then what are the bounds? Many would consider these acts as justified depending on the pedestal that they are standing on. For all these and more, there is no near or clear conclusion of the matter for as far as the eye can see, it is a quagmire for we are all unable to extricate ourselves unto perfect societies or
