本文旨在描述和检验对恐怖主义的主流理解
正如新加坡官方言论所反映的那样。它还评估了其对
旨在打击恐怖主义对社会凝聚力的潜在威胁。它是
认为文化主义方法的普遍影响融入了
对恐怖主义的理解已经产生了将伊斯兰教和
对新加坡穆斯林社区的身份和文化的某些假设。
这种方法的主导地位限制并加剧了缺乏
对概念所揭示的现象进行更全面和客观的分析
以及社会科学的方法论。这阻碍了促进
旨在挫败迫在眉睫的恐怖主义威胁的社会复原力和凝聚力。
This paper seeks to portray and examine the dominant understanding of terrorism
as reflected in official discourse in Singapore. It also evaluates its impact on
attempts aimed at combating terrorism's potent threat to social cohesion. It is
maintained that pervasive influence of the culturalist approach woven into the
understanding of terrorism has had the effect of thrusting into focus Islam and
certain presumptions of the identity and culture of the Muslim community of Singapore.
The dominance of this approach conditions and compounds the lack of a
more comprehensive and objective analysis of the phenomenon informed by concepts
and methodology from the social sciences. This impedes efforts at fostering
social resilience and cohesion aimed at thwarting the looming threat of terrorism.
