International terrorism is considered a serious problem in the international
community which can be used for political purposes and to put pressure on countries. In
the Middle East in particular, and in the light of sharp conflicts, the internation
al
community gave this issue special attention and adopted several treaties and agreements
under the supervision of UN and other regional and religious organizations, such as the
Organization of Islamic Conference. The study aims at presenting the discrepancy between
Islam and terrorism in addition to challenging and denying the unfair charge that terrorism
is linked to Islam. We will discuss in our study the phenomenon of terrorism in
accordance with the Organization of the Islamic Conference Treaty and show the definition
of the crime of terrorism and its cornerstones and penalty owed by linking this topic to the
terrorism experienced by Syria and practiced by terrorist groups disguised by takfiri
extremist ideas which are definitely unrelated to Islam.
