Abstract
I analyse the recent cases of Islamic State terrorism (the immolation of the Jordanian pilot and cutting the throat of 21 Egyptian Christians in Libya) as well as the case of a terrorist act of Irgun in the struggle for Israeli independence. These cases (as well as many of the acts of Al Qaida) have the purpose of provocation thereby leading Western states to do foolish things and in that process hurting themselves and helping the terrorists.
