At the latest since 9/11 and the associated frights, Islamist motivated terrorism advanced to a major international security issue, which not only achieved extensive media coverage, but as well broad scientific attention. Nevertheless, the concrete national and international measures, with which international terrorism is countered, could well be regarded critically in terms of efficiency and accuracy. In using a postmodern approach, the author tries to develop an alternative picture of terroristic actors, including their rationality, their motivation and their subjective moral justification. The reason for this ambivalent approach is found in the author¿s deep conviction, that it is crucial to understand this antagonist in order to implement accurate and efficient measures to face the threat of international terrorism.
