Terrorism is not something new, and it is never-ending
Terrorism is synonymous with terror, violence, extremism, and intimidation
In a devastating tragedy of the massive bombing on the World Trade Centre (WTC) on 11 September 2001 in New York, United States, which killed approximately 3000 people, the US government had accused al-Qaeda, an Islamic group, to be responsible for the bombing. It is regrettable when Islam is linked to terrorism
Summary
Terrorism is not something new, and it is never-ending. Terrorism is synonymous with terror, violence, extremism, and intimidation. The movement and the development of these groups are worrying as they could discretely commit any terrorist act at any given time These groups are known for using the word jihad for a completely wrong reason, intimidating the public to threaten the national law and order. This case revealed the involvement of Daesh female members in executing a terrorist act individually It has become the latest trend of the IS group to use its female members to commit violent activities in this country. Malaysia has implemented various legislation and conducted parliamentary discussions to ensure the best measure to suppress terrorist activities that attempt to sneak into the country and commit terrorism or bring ideologies that are considered a threat to the nation’s and civilian’s peace and harmony. The war over the rebel groups by the government must depend on the circumstances of the war; if the conflict is resolved and a truce is achieved, the war is considered over, and all fights shall cease immediately
