Analysis of Religion and Terror Relation in terms of the Philosophy of Religion

Abstract

In this article, religion-terror relation has been examined in a method similiar to which has been put in such issues dealt with in the philosophy of religion as religion-science relation, reason-faith relation, but this time completely hypothetically and within a triple typology constituting the three chapters of article: Decomposition, agreement, conflict. Under the title of decomposition, the Irrationalism and Fideism in the philosophy of religion have been discussed in respect of terrorism. Under the title of agreement, the religious exclusivism, theistic subjectivism and divine punishment have been again discussed from the same point and under the title of conflict, the issues of the religious comprehensiveness/multiplicity, theistic objectivism and defense of free will have been analysed in terms of terror. In the conclusion, it has been argued that, when considered in terms of philosophy of religion, none kind of terror and violence can be accepted by religion
