| description | The growing threat of terrorism has reached a serious level. During 2015, a series of terrorist attacks is recorded in
France, Pakistan, Chad, Tunisia, Kuwait, Kenya, and Yemen. The danger of terrorism is amplified many times if state
terrorism is also taken into account. Estimates of death in the Syrian Civil War vary between 301,781 and 470,000.
According to the United Nations and Arab League Envoy to Syria, the estimates of death are more than 400,000. A
significant number of these deaths refer to unarmed civilians caught in conflict. To stop terrorism, it is essential to
combat the financing of terrorism. The bloodline of terrorist networks is said to be money. Although terrorism can
inflicts the largest amount of damage using minimum cost, it still needs money. While bribery, weapons and the
maintenance of weapons are major expense, other security costs including operating costs, false identification and other
concealment mechanisms also require money. In addition, networking, communications and the training of personnel
and maintaining training camps are not cheap. However, addressing the symptoms alone is inadequate. It is important to
effectively eradicate the root causes of terrorism, together with the sources of financing to ensure global peace. This
article highlights the common mistakes in combating terrorism financing by focusing on Islamophobia, Islamic finance
and Islamic charities. The common methods of terrorism financing will be discussed together with the flaws and the
way forward. |
