Also terrorism is a big threat to our society, a good example are the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers and the Charlie Hebdo shooting of people who want to do others harm because they don’t obey their leader: it states in the Quran for example in passage 8:12 "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve.
