TERRORISM: THE RITUAL OF THE DEVIL

revealed by God. It is clear, however, that such cults and organizations
have long since turned away from that path.
There is no question that the acts of violence and terror we have
been considering are not the only manifestations of terror in the world
today. Very many terrorist organizations in a great many countries have
for many years been spreading fear, terror, as well as leading to the
deaths of many innocent people. These include the IRA, which for

many years has been a major thorn in the side of the government of
Great Britain; ETAin the Basque region of Spain, ASALA, the Armenian
terrorist organization which for many years attacked Turkish diplo-
mats serving abroad, and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
Although they all have different ideological motives, all terrorist
groups and people who support the use of violence, whether listed here
or not, and whether they are aware of the fact or not, agree on one thing.
That is, the rejection of religion. Whatever their ideology and world-
view may be, the true reason why anyone turns to anarchy and violence

is that they lack any beliefs and conscience to prevent them from doing
so.
