2001年9月11日,伊斯蘭激進主義「蓋達組織」於美國發動911恐怖攻擊事件,造成三千餘人喪生,引起舉世譁然。美國與伊斯蘭激進主義的緊張關係達到最高點。美國隨即展開大規模反恐戰爭,迄今已造成至少50萬人死亡。然而,世界各地每年仍持續發生恐怖攻擊事件。而期間再次引起舉世譁然的恐怖組織,則是透過網路播放斬首人質影片,並短暫佔有領土的伊斯蘭國(ISIS),最近一起恐攻事件則是2019年1月27日,菲律賓天主教堂受到伊斯蘭激進組織攻擊,造成至少20人死亡。顯然軍事反恐或許能獲致一時戰果,但無法澈底消弭恐怖主義,尋求理性的非軍事方案,應是值得探討的議題。本文以美國與伊斯蘭激進主義之衝突為例,採歷史研究法及文獻分析法,並以孫中山思想為研究途徑,探討國際恐怖主義的形成與消弭。「恐怖主義」是一種具有特有信仰之意識型態,若能以孫中山思想的論點進行探討,或能釐清問題癥結並獲得合理的解決方案,同時也能驗證孫中山思想對國際議題的解釋力。孫中山學說探討民族與民族關係相關論述,在大與小或強與弱方面,他提出王道文化、濟弱扶傾;在強調平等地位時,則提出民族平等、恕道精神;在各國與各民族之上,提出世界大同。這些論述對於解決美國與伊斯蘭激進主義衝突,提供有力的理論支撐。
On September 11th, 2001, the world was shocked by the terrorist attack launched by the radical Islamist group Al Qaeda against the United States, killing over 3,000 people. Tensions between the US and Islamic Extremism soon escalated to an all-time high. The US immediately retaliated and initiated a full-scale war on terror, which up to now has taken the lives of at least 500,000 people. Despite the effort, terrorist attacks continue to take place every year around the globe. When ISIS carried out its first wave of aggression, the world was shocked by its brutality and extreme violence. The group was notorious for spreading videos online showing jihadists decapitating hostages. For years that followed, ISIS would then temporarily established a caliphate in controlled territory. The latest terrorist attack was on January 27th, 2019, when the Islamic State group bombed a Catholic church in the Philippines, killing at least 20 people.
It is obvious that waging war against terrorism might bring us short term victory, but will not eradicate it. A non-military approach is thus worth exploring. This paper takes the conflict between the US and Islamic Extremism as an example and aims to explores the formation and resolution of international terrorism by employing Sun Yat-Sen’s ideology, using methods of historical research and the literature analysis.
Religious Terrorism is of clear and focused religious ideology. Exploring the issues by adopting Sun Yat-Sen’s perspectives might help us clarify the crux of the problems and find reasonable solutions. The process will also verify Sun’s interpretation on international issues.
Sun's ideology explores the relationship between different nations. In terms of the interaction between strong or big countries and weak or small countries, Sun proposed the “Kingly Way of Governance” and helping the underprivileged; when it comes to a nation’s status, Sun argued for equality for all countries and The Golden Rule; and upon all nations, he advocated for the Great Unity. The proposition mentioned above could provide strong theoretical support in resolving the conflict between the United States and Islamic Extremism.
