Current terrorism is one of the most important problems. It appears that Poland is less threatened by terroristic attacks than Great Britain, France or Germany. However, recent calls to global jihad and terroristic attacks show that it is not possibile to exclude any risk of attack. There are many different intepretations and explanations of terrorism and much less practical solutions. Many theories seem uneffective. This paper shows some significant features of current terrorism, especially suicide terrorism, and potential solutions for anti-terroristic prevention. The author refers to approach of Scott Atran who underlines the role played by the concept of „sacred value” in genesis of terrorism, as well as a significance of symbolic reconciliation for anti-terroristic prevention.
