The professor from the Islamic University of Malaysia emphasized that the "war on terror" was initiated by the United States following the September 11 attacks, stating that this war has not only failed to reduce terrorism but has actually strengthened certain terrorist groups and increased insecurity in the world.
Impacts of the War on Terror
This university professor stated that the main goal of this war was to reduce terrorist threats, but in practice, it has had the opposite effect. According to him, many terrorist groups have gained more power after this war and have been able to expand their influence in various regions of the world.

He added: "Despite all the efforts and resources spent on this war, the security situation in many countries, including the Middle East and North Africa, has not improved and in some cases has even worsened." These remarks come at a time when many countries are still grappling with the effects and consequences of this war, and thousands of innocent citizens are falling victim to violence stemming from terrorism.
New Security Challenges
The professor from the Islamic University of Malaysia also pointed to new security challenges that have arisen as a result of this war. He believes that the emergence of new groups and phenomena such as digital terrorism and online extremism are unintended consequences of this war, necessitating new and more comprehensive approaches to address these threats.
This university professor concluded by emphasizing that achieving sustainable security requires international cooperation and coordinated efforts from governments and various institutions. He said: "Only through joint work can we achieve a safer future and prevent the continuation of violence."
