These days, the number of the terrorism is increasing since the mid-2000s and some of them are caused by the reason: the Olympics, although most of the places where the Olympic Games are held and also the other international sports festivals, such as the World Cup. According to the Background Report Terrorism and the Olympics written by National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, the most largest number of the terrorism happening when the Olympic was held was seven, in China 2008. In 2008, in China, there were two big terrorisms during the Olympic games held. In addition, the most largest number of those who lost their lives when the Olympic was held was sixteen in West Germany in 1972.On the other hand, in South Korea and Canada in 1988, Japan in 1998, Greece in 2004 and Canada 2010, there were no terrorism.
In terms of Japan, Japan starts to expand the spying in the international range after some Japanese were killed by the Islamic militants last year. Although the conference regarding to the prevention of the terrorism is ongoing, since Japan has never experienced the terrorism happening by the foreigners in the modern society, the solution to prevent the terrorism from happening is unknown range for Japan and most of the Japanese think of the terrorism as the problem which has the distance from us. In addition, what is dangerous for Japan is that because of these reasons, there are a lot of places which is blind for the terrorism and Japan could be the "perfect spots" to do the terrorism. According to Motonobu Abekawa, a former official at the Public Security Intelligence Agency and a terrorism studies expert at Nihon University, he said that Japan may have made it difficult for Islamic extremists to take root in the country because of its strict gun controls, the importance which is attached to registration, the language barrier and its strict policy of immigration.
As for the articles, I trust these two articles.
As for the BACKGROUND REPORT Terrorism and the Olympics, this report includes the statistics about the terrorism happening during the Olympic Games and the picked up real cases of the terrorisms and we can see that during the Olympic Games the terrorism increases, although the situations are different from the each Olympics.
In terms of the article "Japan launches anti-terrorism unit ahead of summit, Olympics," we can see Japan working on the anti-terrorism, in spite of the situation which Japan has never experienced such a dangerous situations. In this article, conncection between what the politicians said and the accidents happened last year and we can see the solution to deal with the terrorism very cleary.
That's why I thought that these articles are reliable.
I thought that the connection between the Olympic and the terrorism which contrasts very clearly should be thought of more by the Tokyo Olympic in 2020. During the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 there are more foreigners than normal situations and through this situations there are differences between the languages, customs and the religions. So in order to prevent the terrorism from happening we should think of these differences and we should not do something which despises these differences between us and the others. This process can somewhat prevent the terrorism from happening during the Olympic Games.
