Terrorism and extremism in our Arab societies through creative chaos and disruption of social structures: any relationship? Any solutions?

There is no doubt that the scourge of extremism, terrorism and violence in general is one of the topics that have attracted the attention of researchers in the field of sociology. We had an early interest in this regard through our studies that deal mainly with social change in the Arab and Islamic world. Where we always study this devastating phenomenon, which has become transcontinental and even globalized in the context of a number of central concepts, including, for example, the creative chaos and the new world order. As for the inside of our societies, it is, in our belief, closely related to the prevailing structures in it and the culture it produced that is outside our Islamic religion and has nothing to do with it. In both cases, terrorism and extremism germinate in the context of an international reality dominated by methods of domination and war by proxy, and an internal local reality full of fallacies.It is in this context that our participation in this forum descends, through which we seek to highlight the role of universities, especially sociological studies, in establishing a societal culture that rejects terrorism and extremism. This, in our belief, can only be achieved through studying it as a societal and cosmic phenomenon, deciphering its implications and dismantling its components, by linking it to all possible variables that relate to the root and branch of society at the level of perceptions, culture, structures, beliefs and everything that is a social act.In this context, we cannot fail to point out a methodological observation, which is that the researcher in the social sciences does not provide direct solutions based on unstudied impromptu positions. Rather, in dismantling the phenomenon in its societal context and highlighting its faults. Hence the real remedies that the politician and those in control of the security and development of society must take into account. Also, if these studies are transformed into academic studies and a culture circulating in the knowledge space, they would create a conscious generation that rejects terrorism, extremism and violence.Based on all this, we present the main problem of our research according to the following: Is there a relationship between terrorism and extremism in our Arab and Islamic societies, as they are a scourge that threatens the peace of society, the creative chaos and the existing social structures? Any possible solutions to reduce them?
