Five Pillars Of Islam: Freedom

Five pillars of Islam: Freedom

Introduction

Within the framework of freedom of expression, which in all its senses must govern in a civilized society, the freedom to exercise faith according to personal convictions is indisputable, and no one (whether west or east), can, through force, pretend to generate changes according to their preferences or conveniences.

Each individual is free to choose how to establish their link with their God, regardless of whether that link is called Islam, Judaism or Christianity, so any value judgment only contributes to generating socio-cultural frictions that are gradually expanding theGaps and finally constitute or generate the causes for possible radicalization.

Developing

A. Referring to Islam:

The preaching religions of Islam do not contrast the socially accepted concepts of others, to life and freedom, and these are reflected in their sacred book The Qur’an, so it cannot bethe religion.Whether as part of a global plan of Islamic leaders or not, Islam has had substantial growth in recent decades, occupying the 2nd. place in the world, with 1.800 million followers, having expanded to all continents. This trend is expected to continue and by 2050, Muslims will have a growth of 73%.

Referring to Islam in the region:

1. Although there have been throughout the history immigration of Muslims to South America, these have never been significant, which has limited its expansion, so currently in South America the total number of followers of Islam does not exceed2.

   6 million.

2. Despite existing Latin Americans who have become Islam, reality indicates that they do not exceed 1% of the total Muslims in Latin America.
3. The greatest concentrations of Muslims in South America are found in Argentina and Brazil, where 85% of them are located.
4. Although by 2050 a growth of the Islamic population of 73% worldwide is expected in Latin America, that growth will not exceed 13%.

Referring to Islamic extremism/fundamentalism:

1. Terrorism as such is not a doctrine, it is a combat tactic, normally used in what is called asymmetric conflict, that is, the struggle between opponents with very marked operational and logistics differences. Although in the last decades it has had a resurgence, the reality is that it has been practiced throughout history, so it is not the heritage of Islamic fundamentalists, although in many cases they take it.
2. Islamic extremism has nothing to do with Islam, as in other religions, there are those who interpret religious mandates according to personal and selfish criteria, contrasting a basic precept of any monotheistic religion, which implies that the only omnipotent and omniscient beingis God. Fundamentalists use religion as a pretext to legitimize violence.
3. Despite moments of apparent calm/latent state, Islamic extremism is characterized by its permanent mutations to adapt to the changing operational environment, which transforms it into a difficult enemy to fight, and forces governments and security forces to constant rehabilitationof its strategic and tactical to fight it efficiently.
4. Although in some levels worldwide we talk about "winning the war to Islamic terrorism", reality indicates that it is far from doing so, and is not glimpsed in the medium term, that this will happen.

Referring to Islamic extremism/fundamentalism in the region:

1. In the region, the action of Islamic extremism had its moment culminate in the 90s, when two attacks in Argentina (1992 and 1994) left more than 100 dead and 500 injured, which showed, not only that the regionIt was not immune to such types of actions, but also leaving serious limitations and regional and state deficiencies in the fight against international terrorism, such as:

• High levels of corruption.
• Great border permeability.
• Inadequate border control systems.
• Security forces with limited operational capacity.
• Obsolete and/or extremely limited intelligence systems.
• Lack of legislation in reference to the issue, both at the state and regional level.
• False security perception.

two. It is currently estimated that Islamic extremists belonging to Hezbollah, Islamic State and Al Qaeda, operate directly or indirectly in the region, in activities such as:

• Generation of resources through illicit businesses such as drug trafficking, arms trafficking, falsification, money laundering.
• Shelter establishment.
• Establishment of training fields.
• Start of the radicalization processes of followers of Islam, to initially use them in other parts of the world.

3. Iran (permanent support of Hezbollah), through its close links with countries in the region, particularly with the Venezuelan regime, has initiated a process of approaching Latin America and the followers of Islam.

4. Among the most critical regions of the region, the so -called triple border (where Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina) stands out, due to the existence of various conditions that facilitate terrorist actions, particularly the generation of resources for the support of the terrorist action in otherparts of the world.

Referring to the measures adopted to prevent and combat terrorism:

Having defined terrorism as a new threat to state and regional security, and with the purpose of preventing and combating terrorism, various measures have been adopted, among which they stand out:

1. At regional level:

• Creation within the framework of the O.AND.A., of the Inter -American Committee against Terrorism.
• Generation through the Inter -American Convention against Terrorism of State and Regional Mechanisms to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.
• Issuance of the document called "Technical Evaluation-Comparative Analysis of typologies and patterns of money laundering and terrorist financing in three free trade areas of Latin America", where concepts are established, determine critical areas and recommendations to combat the financing of terrorism inAll its forms.
• Recognition of various terrorist groups such as such (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay).
• Generation of a record with activities and people linked to terrorism, which facilitates combat and provides a clear position of countries, against terrorism (Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil).
• Creation of the Triple Alliance Tripartite Command (Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay).
• Creation of group 3+1, which includes those already mentioned and EE.UU, to enhance action in the Triple Border Region.

two. At the national level:

• Approval of the law no. 19749 "Against the financing of terrorism and proliferation weapons of mass destruction".
• Creation of the Coordinating Commission against Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing.

Referring to Islam:

a. Due to the lack of reliable information in reference to Muslims in South America, carry out a process through the Islamic centers of the region, to collect data referring to:

• Amount of Muslims per country.
• Amount of Muslims Converts.
• Regions where they live.
• Relationship to society.
• Socio-economic situation.
• Links with their countries of origin.

b. Generate the necessary knowledge by society to facilitate integration and avoid the radicalization of them.

At regional level:

(1). Create at the regional level a strategic center for the fight against international terrorism (C3I2S), with the purpose of:

• Monitor world and regional terrorism.
•  Maintain an (common) updated list of state and non -state individuals and organizations linked to international terrorism.
• Generate an anti doctrine and common councilor.
•  Create a common action protocol before a terrorist action (before, during and after action).
• Anticipate terrorist actions in the region.
• (Avoid the radicalization of individuals.
•  Create a digital intelligence network, which facilitates communication and exchange of information in real time.

(two). Create a cybernetic center with the purpose of avoiding, limiting and/or minimizing cyber -terrorism actions.

(3). Create the Regional Training School in the fight against international terrorism, with the purpose of:

• Unify operational conceptions in the fight against terrorism.
• Provide common training at strategic, operational and tactical level.
• Plan exercises annually in different countries of the region, which include command and control media, as well as operations.
• Plan and conduct an event/evaluations annually in which the contributory forces throughout the region participate, in which common techniques and tactics are put into practice.

(4). Establish a common fund tending to solve the training, operational and logistics activities of regional organizations.

At the state level:

1. Continue advancing in the establishment of regional joint security protocols, with the purpose of enhancing border control capabilities.
2. Enhance state intelligence services, orienting them towards the search, monitoring and control of potential or emerging threats.
3. Adopt measures aimed at minimizing corruption, particularly from political systems and security services.
4. Increase regional cooperation in security issues, which allows the fluid exchange of information at the state level and intelligence services.
5. Emphasize the creation, operational and logistical support to an integrated system of terrorism response, which integrates under a common command:

•  Command and control organs.
• ANTI and CONTRIERRORISTA UNITS.
• K-9 dog equipment.
• Detection, management and deactivation equipment of terrorist artifacts.
• Air media that facilitate movement anywhere in the country.

conclusion 

It is not attributable in any sense, fundamentalism to religion, because although they both use it, the faithful seeks through their religion, in this case Islam, reaching God, while fundamentalists, seek to use religionAs a pretext to legitimize your actions, impose your will, through a biased interpretation of religious precepts.

In this sense, the terrorism exercised by Islamic extremists is a fact, which has generated innumerable victims and will continue to do it to the extent that they are not adopted from international, regional and state organizations, the necessary measures to prevent and combat said scourge, these theseThey have the moral and institutional duty of protecting their citizens, because as Edmund Burke said "… so that evil triumphs, it only needs to do not do anything …"
