This analysis, that those who engage in terrorist activities expect
better and when their expectations are not realized they are forced to use
terrorism as an action is effective and relevant in helping to explain the
causes and understanding of terrorism. If understanding the roots of
terrorism, it can perhaps be reduced, and by understanding that even very
different terrorist groups all suffer from the same set of conditions, one
can work for eliminating the causes of terrorism and thus making a safer
world. It is impossible hunt and kill every terrorist; terrorists will
keep existing and more problems will lead to more terrorism. It is
therefore useful to realize the causes of terrorism to help work towards
reducing the impact and threat of terrorism across the world. This
understanding that terrorists are an excluded group who have strong
objectives but no means to achieve them is true, and can help to prevent
further terrorist problems. When a group, whether it be ideological,
political, ethnic, or religious, has greater expectations but those
expectations are not realized and thus they are powerless to effect change
to the situation, terrorism is a last result and this is the case of the
aforementioned types and examples of terrorist activity.
The analysis of international terrorism as a last course of action for
a marginalized group is ultimately true for the three different terrorist
organizations mentioned. The Red Faction Army, fearful and oppressed by
the right wing sentiment in post-War...
Sohail believed that because this incident happened -- and because it reflects negatively on the image of Muslims -- "…all the Muslim people in America will be driven out. This has happened in reality," he asserted. "This is obvious. This happened, and it is happening now" (Rousseau, 167). Some of those interviewed in Karachi expressed "intense pain and anger at the injustice of the aftereffects on Pakistanis and Muslims"
For instance, Islamic terrorism completely rejects western values and cultures. Terrorist groups from Africa are also fighting if not the troops of the former colonial powers, at least the cultural reminiscences of their presence on the Black continent. Therefore, it can be said that modern terrorism tends to draw from the cultural and civilization differences present at the moment in the world and predicted by Huntington. There have been numerous
S. Constitutional law. Question The problem with evaluating the motives of the detainees at Gitmo is that the justice process at the prison has become so questionable that automatically any allegations about the status of the prisoners as radical extremists determined to wage jihad against western society seems equally doubtful. There is no doubt that some may be disaffected and confused men and some may indeed be hardened terrorists. However, when the
Homegrown extremism threats both in the European Union (EU) as well as the United States (U.S.) have grown since the last decade. Past and present studies along with past and current political leadership have directed their focus and funds to counter global threats of extremism and terrorism whilst ignoring homegrown extremism threats. This paper focuses on the threats posed by domestic terrorist groups or homegrown extremist groups using research data
The lack of political and economic development in the countries where MS-13 operates has also helped to keep the mara entrenched in local culture (Bruneau, 2005). Without adequate jobs and economic activity, even the most talented of individuals is made vulnerable to outside gang and organization influences. In many towns and villages, MS-13 is the only form of economic and political stability, and therefore is very hard to root out
Global Jihad, a Myth or Reality The Jihad is often associated with a certain Muslim fight against the unfaithful, one that has been going on for decades now and which is unlikely to stop in coming years. However, despite this sustainable development of the notion and everything it entangles, it cannot be stated without a doubt that this is an obvious reality. This assumption is made based on the fact that
