Abstract
Religious terrorism has been made the dominant discourse of the Unipolar World Order dominated by USA. The international system is anarchic, according to structural realism, and states pursue security by trying to balance each other. The (reactionary) theory of religious terrorism (violence) makes sense in explaining the current violent wave of terrorist attacks by Islamists, that in case there is no apparent balancer to the current unipolar order, religion is the chess player in power politics. The claim of this paper is that whenever a balancer to a hegemonic order is absent, religion will try to seek some sort of balance by raising arms against that hegemonic order
