    Movies and films of Rambo and Schwarzenegger portray terrorists as Islam fundamentalists triggering a host of discriminatory actions among the populace. Given the billions of dollars spent on the war against terrorism and the widespread and extensive media propaganda campaign, it should be logical to conclude that terrorism has been greatly diminished ten years after the September 11, 2001 tragedy. On the contrary, the War on Terrorism has become a self fulfilling prophecy where terrorist activity exponentially increased. To wit:…

    For more than ten years, the west has done its utmost to crush on al Qaeda’s operational competences, which may perhaps have been diminished. The organization’s Taliban protectors were toppled in Afghanistan, and its easily accessible training camps, at one time the destination for jihadist volunteers worldwide, have been dispersed. In addition, al Qaeda attacks in Indonesia, Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Turkey between 2002 and 2006 prompted those governments to attempt to dismantle local terrorist networks. Cooperation among security services and law enforcement organizations worldwide has made its operating environment increasingly hostile (Ashour, 2011). Accordingly, al Qaeda has not been able to carry out a significant terrorist operation in the West since 2005, although its ability of mounting plausible, worrisome threats is not in question.…

    How often do we, as United States citizens, consider how safe we actually are in our country? Without further research we may not realized the potential nationwide threat that has been previously discussed between Ayman al-Zawahri (head of Al Qaeda) and Nasser al-Wuhayshi (head of the Yemen-based Al Qaeda). Hopefully, the United States’ intelligence agency has intercepted these messages soon enough before any major action has been made.…

    To begin, Isis is a very dangerous group of people. First of all Isis has nuclear weapons. Isis has nuclear weapons that they use to bomb the U.S. and other countries. Next, Isis has illegal weapons. Isis imports illegal weapons so they can kill as many people as possible. They use the weapons in terrorist attacks because they are fully automatic. Lastly, Isis believes in the “god” Allah. Isis believes that the more people they kill the better their afterlife will be because their god Allah would be happier. Isis is dangerous because they kill people based on their religion, which is not how God wants his children to act.…

    Since 2005, the Islamic group has exceeded doubling and the account of terrorism from this group has almost tripled. This growing terrorist army known as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, ISIS, is becoming a threat not only to the east but to the American homeland as well. While approximately ninety percent of Americans “... view ISIS as a serious threat to U.S. national security, there remains confusion over the degree to which the group directly threatens the American homeland” (Gottlieb 2). As technology advances, terrorists are able to assimilate into our systems which can become a hazard to our people. There are both immediate and long-term risks to our country, military improvements being one of them.…

    “Modern terrorism involves the heartless killing of children throwing stones at tanks, deaths of pregnant women at security roadblocks, suicide bombings carried out in buses and discotheques, the terrorizing of luminous cities at night with bombing sorties, and the incineration of worshippers at mosques.” . Since the attacks on the twin towers on September 11, many people fear Islamic terrorism, but Islamic terrorist organizations did not just begin with the 9/11 attacks. Different terrorist organizations, such as Al Qaeda and the Moslem Brothers have existed for many years, although some have died out, others still thrive, and some of the organizations spark the beginning of new terrorist regimes. Islamic terrorist organizations have formed…

    When one turns on the news, the last thing they hear is Al Qaeda. All you hear, in this day and age, is how strong ISIS and all the threats they are involved with. That, however, doesn’t mean Al Qaeda is non-existent. In other words, it’s been since September 11th 2001 since Al Qaeda has left it’s marks in America, but countries like Africa have felt the brunt of what the terrorist group has to offer. On Friday, November 20th 2015, Al Qaeda stormed into a hotel in Mali and killed 20 people, one of which was an American citizen (Jamieson, Simmons and Gubash, 2015). Despite the attacks against Mali, Al Qaeda is not as strong as they use to be when Bin Laden was alive. Since Bin Laden’s support is no longer there, the chances that the terrorist…

    Terrorism is an inevitable threat to the maintenance of a state’s security and order in the global system. Obama emphasizes the issue of terrorism in his speech and gives an insight on how American leadership handles terrorism. To begin with, Obama begins his speech by talking about the attacks on 9/11 and acknowledges that counterterrorism using military intervention had decimated Al Qaeda’s leadership between the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Obama commends the elimination of Osama bin Laden and applauds the American military. Realists argue that military power is an important factor in determining a state’s power and security, and through the lens of…
