Boris Bursać

Abstract


For the past hundred years, Syria has been a synonym for turbulent events, political turmoil, and wars, so we can say that the current situation that has hit Syria is not surprising. The conflict that began in the form of the demonstration in the 2011-th , or, in the form of a sort of conflict of power and opposition, grew into an armed conflict with more than 200,000 dead and 10,000,000 displaced persons. As a result of such a chaos from the "pandora's box" Islamist terrorist organizations have gone out, which lead to misery and poverty, unemployment, political chaos, destabilization, violence, massacres, fighting anytime and anyplace in every city, village, hamlet, therefore, the situation of a general chaos where end of conflicts is not yet seen. It all began with the so-called "Arab Spring" in Tunisia, to expand later to Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Syria, Yemen, Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Oman and other countries where conflicts were of lesser intensity. The aim of this research is the idea to provide the necessary knowledge stemmed from an extensive analysis, primarily ideological, political, sociological point of view or the point of view of terrorist organizations on the territory of Syria and that the best way to enable true sense of understanding of their business and their great influence on the development of terrorism in general.
