Abstrakt: This century has witnessed a lot of Muslim terrorist acts. Therefore, lots of articles and books have been written on the topic. Hundreds of debates have also been aired on radio and television. This paper is yet another source of information on the subject—Muslim terrorism worldwide. The paper intends to show that we can indeed increase our perception of the terrorists when we read such works. True, all these writings are different but they add to our knowledge of Muslim terrorism that we are facing in this new century and enable us to try to understand who are the terrorists and why they decide at a certain point in time in their lives to commit such drastic acts.
