东南亚恐怖主义发展的背景

The Background of Southeast Asia's Terrorism

东南亚地区恐怖主义的发展有着多重背景:伊斯兰教很早就传入这一地区并迅速发展,后来西方国家在此的殖民统治加深了伊斯兰教与基督教之间的矛盾,宗教极端势力得以发展。后冷战时期,非国家行为体在国际冲突中的作用上升,跨国犯罪等非传统安全问题与宗教极端势力相结合使东南亚地区的恐怖主义呈现复杂化趋势。基地组织对东南亚地区伊斯兰极端派的援助助长了恐怖主义在这一地区的蔓延,而美国出于国家利益在全球尤其是东南亚地区推广西方自由民主价值观更加深了伊斯兰极端主义与西方文化之间的矛盾,这也成为东南亚恐怖势力对西方人聚集地发动恐怖袭击的动因。

Behind the growth of terrorism in Southeast Asia region are multiple backgrounds. Earlier Islam has been introduced and boomed in this region. Western colonial rule in this region later deepened the conflict between Islam and Christianity, which promoted the development of religious extremist force. In the post-cold war period, non-state actors played a growing role in international conflicts and non-traditional security issues such as transnational crime combined with religious extremist force, which caused the terrorism to be growingly complex. Al-Qaeda＇s aid to Islamic extremists contributed to the extension of terrorism in this region. America, which, for the sake of national interest tried to popularize western liberal and democratic values in the world, particularly in this region deepened the conflict between Islamic extremism and western culture and also stimulated Southeast Asian terrorists to attack where westerners are populous.
