Democratic Conscience versus the Madness of Fanatical Terrorism

Democratic Conscience versus the Madness of Fanatical Terrorism

James Cook University

Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial › peer-review

Abstract

Terrorist violence is not religious because it destroys all bonds. Obscurantists who have turned into robots treat others as mere things and seek to spread fear and promote discord and stigmatization in order to generate disorder. The unifying strength of democracy lies in pluralism, diversity, doubt, freedom of speech, education and the fight against all forms of stigmatization. The outrage of the millions who are spontaneously marching in the name of humanity as a whole and not their belonging to a sub-group can bring about a regeneration of democratic ideals.
