From the Paper:

"Terrorism is something that mankind had always known, and, with the evolution of man, the act of terrorism has also evolved, too. The civilized society has struggled to isolate and abolish any thought of terrorism throughout the world. However, terrorism is thriving in the present, with acts of terror being committed across the world by fanatics. Terrorism stands against all that is good, as there can be no moral motives for one to carry out acts of terrorism."
