Abstract :
The present paper intends to explore the Philosophical Theory of Religion As a Theory of Terrorism in Mukul Deva’s Novel ‘Bowblack.’ “The disciplines of theology, religion and philosophy have had important things to say about terrorism” (Stitt, Kraemer 203-218). Half of the most dangerous terrorists’ groups on the earth are “primarily motivated by religious concerns” (Hoffman 230). They believe that God approves and demands their action because their cause is supposed to be sacred and has hope for future and vengeance for the past. This view trigger terrorism by creating wild-eyed fanatics who believe that terrorism is a neglected duty which exists the fundamental mainstream part of religion. So religious terrorism is fundamentalistic. It includes violent images of destruction and self destruction which is a central part of the logic behind religion-based terrorism (Juergensmeyer 205). Mukul Deva’s novel ‘Blowblack’ shows the characters and situations which reflect the theory of religion of terrorism.
