Abstract

Aggression and violence are characteristic of terrorism. They are perceived as approved by the participants in terror and they are used in the commission of terrorist acts. Political motivations of violent acts and specific ideology that justifies these are also elements of terrorism. Terrorism prevailing in recent years, terrorism was based on Islam, in particular the one-sided and distorted interpretation of that religion. Terrorists are distinguished for their orientation to the outside world. They were conquered by ideas for its transformation and therefore it dominates their ideas. Terrorists have a number of character features. Through detection of these features, it is clear to what extent one can speak of terrorism as a behavior that deviates from the norms of society. Among the psychological problems of terrorism, the issue of the impact of terrorist groups and organizations on the potential participants in terror and on already attracted members also emerged. Some of the mechanisms through which recruited and retain supporters have in common, one can say neutral character. They say a direct recruitment for affiliation to terror.
