Abstract

Terrorism is affecting all human beings regardless of time, place, and nationality such as the case of brutal ISIS/ISIL attacks that took place in the center of Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2016. Twenty-two people had killed mostly foreigners in the Holey Artisan Café during this attack. The terrorist organization of ISIS/ISIL claimed responsibility for this criminal act. This violent assault made one thing certain that the struggle against terrorism is increasingly getting more problematic and solutions are becoming more complicated. However, on the other side, the terrorist organization of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK/KADEK/ KONGRA-GEL) has been trying to terrorize provinces in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. In Turkey, PKK made strategic changes many times since its first action in 1984. In reality, there are some basic differences between religiously-motivated terrorist groups and secular terrorist organizations. Those differences stem from their drastically different value systems, legitimization, and justification of the violence they employ, worldviews, and concepts of morality. This comparative analysis will shed light on significant differences between secular terrorist groups and terrorist groups with religious motivations. The objective of the study is to demonstrate the reasons for the violent and lethal acts of religiously motivated groups.

Özet

Terörizm, Bangladeş’in Dakka şehir merkezinde 2016 yılında IŞİD tarafından gerçekleştirilen acımasız saldırıda olduğu gibi tüm insanları zaman, mekân ve milliyet farkı gözetmeksizin etkilemektedir. Holey Artisan Kafe’de gerçekleştirilen saldırıda çoğu yabancı yirmi iki kişi hayatını kaybetmiştir. Bu saldırının sorumluluğunu IŞİD üstlenmiştir. Bahse konu şiddet içeren saldırı terörizmle mücadelenin giderek daha zorlaştığını ve çözümün ise daha karmaşık bir hale geldiğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bununla birlikte Türkiye’de kendisini seküler olarak tanıtan, Kürdistan İşçi Partisi olarak bilinen ve PKK/KCK/KONGRA-GEL kısaltmalarıyla anılan terör örgütü Türkiye, İran, Irak ve Suriye’de eylemler gerçekleştirmektedir. Bu bağlamda PKK terör örgütü ilk eylemini gerçekleştirdiği 1984 yılından beri çeşitli stratejik değişikliklere gitmiştir. Gerçekte PKK ve IŞİD gibi seküler ve dini motivasyonlu olan iki değişik ideolojiye sahip terörist örgüt arasında önemli farklılıklar bulunmaktadır. Örneğin PKK gibi seküler terör örgütlerinin eylemlerindeki şiddet kısıtlı iken, IŞİD/DAEŞ gibi dini motifli terör örgütlerinde limitsizdir. Bu makale seküler terör örgütü olan PKK ile dini motifli terör örgütü IŞİD/DAEŞ arasındaki yapısal farklılıkları karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz etmektedir. Böylece PKK ve IŞİD/DAEŞ örneklerinden hareketle mevcut terörizm literatürüne katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca geniş bir tanımı olan terörizm kavramını söz konusu literatür içerisinde kapsamlı ve net olarak ele almaktadır.
