Persistence of terror attacks suggests we don’t understand terrorism’s true causes

The persistence of terror attacks in Egypt this past year suggests that the government doesn’t fully understand terrorism’s true causes, Ziad Bahaa El Din writes for Al Shorouk. Bahaa El Din points out that each attack is a cue for the same refrain of reforming religious discourse and passing security-related legislation, neither of which has proven effective in ending terrorism. This suggests that a more thorough study of the phenomenon’s root causes is necessary to formulate a more effective strategy and vision to combat it correctly.
