There are a number of general causes of terrorism. We cannot say that this single factor is the reason behind these brutal and horrifying acts. There are the big organizations who aid it and proper brain-washing of people especially teenagers, is done to make them beasts.

Poverty:

Poverty is one of the biggest basis of terrorism. People with empty tummies and extremist minds become beasts. When people don’t have enough resources and opportunities, hunger, unemployment and shortage of food and money can create feelings of anger and cause some to start horrifying activities in order to express their barbarity. John Perkins said: ‘I’ve never met anyone who wanted to be a terrorist. They are desperate people’.

Political and social cause:

People become terrorists when they find social and political issues wrong and in order to make them correct, they turn into beasts. When they have been deprived of their rights, they left with no option but to attack.

Religious extremism:

Religion is also one of the reason of terrorism. When people misunderstand their religion and think that killing the minorities is the way of defending their religion, they become terrorists. They even kill people from their own religion just because of having slightly different beliefs.

Illiteracy:

Lack of education creates ignorance and illiteracy. These uneducated minds then become vulnerable to ever ignorant thought and hence easily persuaded by big terrorist agencies. And this is how this crime prevails.

Injustice:

Injustice and lack of rule of law are also the major causes of terrorism. When they see injustice, then as a matter of protest and to satisfy their anger and helplessness, they commit crime.
