Abstract
In this article the issues of Jihad, terrorism and the role
of religious seminaries have been discussed specially after 9/11.
It has been found that there is no relationship in these three.
Jihad is basically for the defence of Islam and may become
obligatory for a Muslim. While the terrorism has no specific noble
cause and even there is no specific definition of terrorism. In
many cases a freedom fighter of a nation is terrorist of other
nation.
This is why different nations usually use the term terrorist
for their opponents. Of course this is not justified. In this article
the relationship between terrorism and religious seminaries has
been discussed in detail. Generally religious seminaries are for
religious education. Common people have soft corner for these
seminaries and they help them to run. After 9/11 terrorism has
become a popular term around the world and religious
seminaries were targeted as the nurseries of terrorism in different
countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan. It was due to the
involvement of some madressahs in Afghan war. In this new
scenario religious seminaries started countering the allegations
against them. In this way the issue has been divided into three
phases hence have been discussed in this article in three stages
