How can the world's religions, which propagate peace and love, promote violence and the killing of innocent civilians through terrorist acts? This Element aims to provide insights into this puzzle by beginning with a brief overview of debates on terrorism, a discussion on religion and the various resources it provides groups engaging in terrorist acts, four arguments for what causes religious terrorism, brief examples of religious terrorism across faith traditions, and a synopsis of deradicalization programs. This discussion shows that, when combined with certain political and social circumstances, religions provide powerful resources for justifying and motivating terrorist acts against civilians.

"In Chapter One, Dr. Bakyt Baimatov, PhD aims to demonstrate the way Soviet collectivization has ushered in plethora of tectonic changes in the consciousness and socioeconomic livelihoods of the rural poor in then Pre-Soviet Kirghizia, who were culturally and developmentally backward, arguing that the resulting transformations are unprecedented in the history of the Kyrgyz nation. In Chapter Two, Hans-Balder Havenith, Ruslan Umaraliev, Romy Schlögel, and Isakbek Torgoev provide a review of the socioeconomic impacts of natural disasters in Kyrgyzstan, attempting to show that earthquakes effected things like governmental structure at a central level. Lastly, Chapter Three by Paul Kubicek examines the degree of extremist organizations among Kyrgyz citizens, focusing on the impact of socioeconomic factors."--Provided by publisher.

Ever wonder why militant groups behave as they do? For instance, why did Al Qaeda attack the World Trade Center whereas the African National Congress tried to avoid civilian bloodshed? Why does Islamic State brag over social media about its gory attacks, while Hezbollah denies responsibility or even apologizes for its carnage? This text shows that militant group behaviour depends on the tactical intelligence of the leaders. The author has extensively studied the political plights of hundreds of militant groups throughout world history and reveals that successful militant leaders have followed three rules. These rules are based on original insights from the fields of political science, psychology, criminology, economics, management, marketing, communication, and sociology. It turns out there's a science to victory in militant history. But even rebels must follow rules.
