Among the fanatical followers of Islam, the notion of the idea, according to which anyone who professes another religion is the enemy, was established. It is based on the conviction that these people wander until they find true spiritual bond with Allah. For the five pillars of the faith, Muslims often add sixth, in the form of jihad, understood as a call for an uncompromised war against the infidels, confirmed by the dictates of God. These precepts justify the bloody terrorist actions, emphasizing aggressiveness of jihad and its military character. In combination with the anti-Western attitude it is a huge threat to the whole world, especially since the vast majority of terrorist organizations is currently the Islamic groups.
