Terrorism is affecting all human beings regardless of time, place, and nationality such as the case of brutal #ISIS# /ISIL attacks that took place in the center of Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2016. Twenty-two people had killed mostly foreigners in the Holey Artisan Café during this attack. The terrorist organization of ISIS/ISIL claimed responsibility for this criminal act. This violent assault made one thing certain that the struggle against terrorism is increasingly getting more problematic and solutions are becoming more complicated. However, on the other side, the terrorist organization of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK/KADEK/ KONGRA-GEL) has been trying to terrorize provinces in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. In Turkey, PKK made strategic changes many times since its first action in 1984. In reality, there are some basic differences between religiously-motivated terrorist groups and secular terrorist organizations. Those differences stem from their drastically different value systems, legitimization, and justification of the violence they employ, worldviews, and concepts of morality. This comparative analysis will shed light on significant differences between secular terrorist groups and terrorist groups with religious motivations. The objective of the study is to demonstrate the reasons for the violent and lethal acts of religiously motivated groups.[1]
