Between the Real Threat and Psychological Warfare, ISIS and Balkans Security

Abstract

Promotion of religious fundamentalism and the tendency of its spread in the form of expressing the belief and devotion to the almighty shall not be related with terrorism or seen as its generator. Specific economic and political circles through media stereotypes and continous indoctrination established a receptive and acceptive confusion. Contemporary socio-political reality of our region, entitle us to reaffirm the opinion that the fundamentalism as a religious, national, political and cultural concept is stereotyped to the extent of equivalence between the fundamentalism and terrorism. The reality is completely different from a scientific, theoretical point of view, the religious, Islamic fundamentalism, as an imposing tendency of those who are from a different religion can relate the Islam with terrorism, in this context as an ideological instrumentalization for economic political interests of specific circles of regional and state dimensions. The security in Balkans is very stable, and the threat made by ISIS-originating from this region, is more a psychological warfare than the real threat for security. When we mention this, we consider the fact that most citizens are oriented towards civilization values, reasonable actions and behaviours, willingness and determination of the states and international organizations for the preservation and protection of the major values such as the human life, freedom and the valuable system of this civilization.
