Terrorist are the greatest enemies of society because they undermine it stability by creating chaotic conditions leading to mass killing, damage and destruction. To avoid terrorism from keep spreading through the entire globe, we agree that education is the key. However, according to economist, terrorist organizations may prefer to use highly educated individuals as operatives because they are better suited to carry out acts of international terrorism than are impoverished illiterates since the terrorists must fit into a foreign environment to be successful.

...RPW 110 Spring 2011 Response essay The misinterpretation of Jihad, as a form of violence. Words: 2000 Our society today faces the greatest challenge in the form of terrorism threatening countless lives and shattering those very ideals that sustain humanity. The misinterpretation of jihad is the primary cause behind many terrorist activities in the recent times. The misinterpretation of this word was first started by Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami, He was a Damascene jurist and a pious Muslim who was the first to preach jihad against the crusaders in the aftermath of the First Crusade. He was one of the first to misconstrue jihad and preach the misinterpretation of jihad .He wrote the book Kitab Al- Jihad which means “book of the holy war”. In this book he proposes for the first time Jihad as a means of warfare against non-believers. “If he did not undertake the sending of enough troops to fight, those who are absent (must) go out, and consider as an obligation that which God (who is praised) said.” The above excerpts explicitly prove the aggressive nature of his ideology and the eventual misinterpretation of Jihad. The above statement suggests to Muslims if god didn’t send enough men to war against non-Muslims then it is the obligation of every Muslim to fight this war against non-believers. This concept was shouted through speakers in mosques and had a lot of audience hence the impact it had on Muslims was much...

...and Criminal Issue Global crime are not as many as local or regional crimes, they range from illegal immigration, cybercrimes, terror, racism and terrorism. The 'war on terror' in the aftermath of the attacks of Sep. 11, 2001 has undermined human rights globally, according to activists and experts who when the UN conference in Paris. 'Immediately after Sep. 11 2001 there was dramatic change in government policies in regard to terrorism, suspected terrorism, and the monitoring of citizens, with the underlying believe that human rights norms as established in conventions and treaties no longer apply,' Joanne Mariner, director of the terrorism and counter-terrorism program at Human Rights Watch said at the conference in Paris last week. The trend has worsened over the last seven years, according to Mariner, Some 2,000 human rights experts and activists have attended the annual United Nations Department of Public Information Non-Governmental Organizations Conference. The UN DPI/NGO conference on 'Reaffirming Human Rights for all: The Universal Declaration at 60' was held at the headquarters of the Unites Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The conference this year commemorated the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in Paris in December 1948. During the war on terror, however, the United States has not been fully as inclusive as it was in its war against communism. Aside from those in the "coalition...

...terrorist acts is because of hate towards a race, nationality, or religion. In recent years, terrorism seems to be at a new high and attacks are more violent than in the past. Many groups operate within a single nation or region. (Wilcox, page.1) Others have branches and operations in many countries. Because terrorists generally cannot match the strength of conventional military forces, they often rely on guerrilla warfare. (Mockaitis, Par 3).

...Unit 2 Discussion Board Thesis Statement: “War on Terror” has reduced more of our freedoms in America and has done little to catch Terrorist: we should eliminate the TSA and reevaluate all the other amendments that are being infringed upon and restore our freedom. Annotated Bibliography Garrett, R. L. (2014). Lone Wolves: Coming to an Airport near You?. Airport Business, 28(3), 14-16. Ronnie Garrett describes the growing trend of the lone terrorist (the single terrorist that acts alone); he uses the LA gunman that opened fired at the LA Airport in LA last fall. This gunman didn’t go through security. He walked in the front of the airport got out his gun and opened fired. This type of terrorism is growing; this defeats the purpose of the TSA. I feel there are not enough acts of this kind to justify the expense of having the expenditure of the TSA in full blown TSA mode through every airport in the country. (n.d). TSA 'chat-downs' not meeting goals and expectations. USA Today. August 17, 2012 USA today did a report on a new security technique the TSA was piloting in Boston. They were testing a new system were they were reading facial expressions and signals on over 725000 passengers passing through the airports and only a small number were recommended for prosecution and none were terrorist. The program did not rule out to any other airports. This backs up my view that the TSA is not effective. I am not saying the process would not have worked, I have heard of this being...

...But what about the actual biological quality of life & heath within a state. Is biological security a global concern which could spread and become a national problem for Americans? This idea of biological war or just the accidental spread of an infectious disease is lively topic today as the United States considers national threats. A modern biological threat like the Ebola epidemic in Africa, which did eventually spread to the U.S. is a prime example of how vulnerable us humans actually are. Today the united states is working to educate and reform the food and agricultural industry abroad, with the goal of stopping the growth of such harmful bacteria at the source and during cultivation. Examples like the Ebola outbreak, and field research conclusions; have fueled much scientific research at home. The outcome has led to America becoming the world frontrunner in fighting diseases, HIV/AIDS, and in educating the global of the necessity for health...

...the future. First of all, France was plagued by mass frustration following hundreds of years of unjust monarchal rule. Mass frustration is when the majority of the populace is dissatisfied by the government. In the case of French citizens in the late 1700s, they understood how badly they were being treated by their own government. They also understood, however, that they deserved better. Due to the recent “Enlightenment Age,” an increasing number of people were becoming aware of their societal status. During the enlightenment period, people began to turn away from everything they thought they "understood" about life. In late 18th century France everything people knew, they were told by the church and monarchy. People lived in terror, for challenging these so called "truths" would most certainly result in severe punishment or even death. It was almost unheard of to challenge the teachings of the catholic church The French people understood the Rights of Man and would die fighting until...

...Lasting from July 1793 to July 1794, the Reign of Terror first began after the Committee of Public Safety elected Maximilien Robespierre as its leader. With him in charge, many new rules and changes were put into place. Some of these changes included French citizens no longer being called “madame” and “monsieur,” their titles became “citizen” and “citizeness.” Another change that went into effect was the de-Christianization of the country. As Robespierre said, “It was too much like old France to name everything after a saint. We wanted, no, needed to be different than how the enemy king was.” As a result, many streets that included the word “saint” in them were changed. Also, many churches were shut down and the lands sold. Even the infamous Notre Dame cathedral was a victim by being shut...

...Ryan L. Vayda Instructor Combating vs. Negotiating With Terrorist For as long as we know it, the War on Terror has an everlasting battle. This constant fight utilizes the use of all federal power and authority to capture or kill terrorists and to continuously keep them from having control of any country. It is evident that the most efficient way to handle this is to cut off or eliminate their allies who provide funding and other things they need to survive. However, others feel that being able to negotiate with certain terrorist groups is the best way of preventing attacks. Either way you look at it, America is at war with a global terrorist movement fueled by a drastic creed of hatred, tyranny, and executions. The first thing to consideration is the opinionated aspect and state firmly if negotiations with terrorists will lead to a satisfactory political compromise between them and their possible victims. I, for one, am for it....

...Short Essay on War and Terror The United States is known as a Super Power in the world today for two particular reasons and they are one, the outcome of World War II and two, how the President at that time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt handled conflicts at home as well as conflicts overseas. During that time the United States was going through some challenges dealing with the Great Depression and the difficulties of Germany beginning to start conflicts in Europe where there was nothing being done about it. World War II was a situation America had stayed out of for about three years, but when the U.S. finally did get involved the balance was then tipped in the favor of the allies due to the U.S. involvement. Also, as it was shown in World War I, when the United States gets involved with conflicts dealing with issues overseas we are very effective and are resolute on becoming triumphant. This resolve continued with a Reaganite point of view, it was president Regan who responded to the Soviet proxies with a proxy war built on the Nixon doctrine of preparing to wage low-intensity conflicts against military nationalist regimes in the Third World. Although by 9/11 the methods changed drastically from low-intensity proxy war to high-intensity direct warfare. [1] No different than the conflict the U.S. has dealt with and continues to deal with today in Iraq and Afghanistan. The era of proxy wars began with America’s defeat in Vietnam and closed with the invasion of Iraq...

...Terrorism by the Egyptian Islamic Jihad Brandin P. Lea SCTY 488 – Terrorism and Homeland Security December 26, 2010 Professor Eric Witcher Abstract It has been the case that over the duration that mankind has graced the planet there has been group’s hell bent on enacting their beliefs and values upon the rest of the world. As time has passed there have been many times that these groups have changed the face of the planet permanently. You can look at any organized religious group and see just how they pushed the belief system onto others to spread their ideology. Now, taking into consideration that fundamentalism and militant groups are nothing new, you can see that it still affects society greatly even today. Let us look at the main group I am focusing on in this paper. The Egyptian Islamic Jihad is one of the most influential fundamentalists groups in the Middle East. Similar to other terrorist groups, the religious intensity factor of a particularly violent kind is pointing solely to Islam, even when religious frenzies are spreading remarkably everywhere. A retreat into religion became the way most Islamic communities could be explained, from Saudi Arabia which, with what was supposed to be a peculiarly Islamic logic, refused to ratify the Camp David Accords, all the way to Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Egypt. In this way, researchers underline that the Islamic world is differentiated, in the Western mind generally, in the United States in particular, from regions...
