This paper aims at, firstly, arguing that the problems of terrorism and antiterrorism lie at the conflictual perception from Islam to the West, and the other way around. The conflictual perception not from a vacuum, but being born and raised in the context of history. From the glorius of Utsmaniyah government, the West had seen islam as a threat of their way of life. The it, on the other hand, is the benchmark for the same conflictual perception from Islam to the These conflicting perceptions then were developed through the ongoing courses of history, up till now when the issue of terrorism gains its momentum. Perceptions, then, are the problem for the vicious cycle of violence. And to settle the problem (this is the second point of the paper), an honest dialogue is required, a dialogue to see each other's point of view, and to come up with a peaceful code of conduct in relations between Islam and the West.

This article is a short report drawn from a research on the issue of the Afghan refugees in Australia (1999-2002). Using the infamous "boat people" case as illustration, the research was intended provide careful observation on the concept "human security/' a term increasingly linked to forced migration issues. Although human security is often portrayed as a benign concept with strong moral stance, its vastness and loose definition limit its adequacy as a useful tool of analysis. The concept is also prone to misuse because it loosely adapts to various ideological interests. Following framework elaborated from the thoughts of Caballero-Anthony and Freitas, the article shows that it: is possible to implement the human security approach in two conflicting dimensions, positive (the ideal) or negative. Both serve to protect the individuals, but each secures a different entity.
