Passive Terrorism

Passive Terrorism
Passive Terrorism is an inaction, non-reaction, non-participation, non-involvement, inert or quiescent behavior towards terrorism. Passive terrorism describes a behavior of general public or government which silently allows the spread or promotion of terrorism by turning a blind eye or tolerating terrorism. Passive terrorism prevails when there is no deliberate effort or decision to either counter it or raise voice against it.
