Is Al Qaeda Still A Threat

The book “How Terrorism End; Understanding the Decline and Demise of Terrorist Campaigns”, written in 2011 at the height of Al-Qaeda, the most well-known international terrorist group of our time. The author of this work, Audrey Cronin, at the time of print, served as a professor of strategy at the United States National War College in Washington D.C., and a senior associate at Oxford University’s Changing Character of War Program. Both positions allowed her to impact strategic policy making in the execution of the Global War on Terror by allowing her access to senior military and civilian policymakers. Her previous area of her prior work has been mainly focused on international terrorism with an emphasis on al-Qaeda. She has authored

In the article America at war it talks about how the author feel that more than 13 years after 9/11 there more terrorists attack and he know that the groups know the Al Qaeda have grown more than 58% percent between 2010 and 2013, and there people have double and their attacks have tripled and the past 13 years even do the Al Qaeda group was a small organization before September 12, 2001, but after the attack in the twin tower there organization became massive group. Even today Al Qaeda controls significant part on Iraq. Pakistan Syria and even Yemen and there spreading to some part

In this opinion essay, Charles Krauthammer immediately speaks on the steady demise of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda and how the war on terror was an “unconventional war by an unconventional enemy” that required an unconventional approach to win. Krauthammer states that there has not been a major terrorist attack in the United States of America in over a decade. In turn, this demonstrates to the audience that the defensive apparatus created by President George W. Bush to counter terrorism has been very effective in getting its purpose done, to protect the American citizens. Krauthammer concludes his opinion essay by stating

This paper will talk about the largest terror group called Al Qaeda. Stating the facts on when this terror group formed, their motives, and graphs on numerous innocent lives. The most notorious Islamic terrorist group is Al Qaeda. Its pioneer, Osama Bin Laden, issued a fatwa (a religious decision) in February 1998 requiring an overall Islamic sacred war to slaughter Christians and Jews. Laden's key targets seem to be U.S. property. Al-Qaeda is a terrorist group that was established by Osama Bin Laden in the late 1980s. It started as a strategic system to help Muslims in Afghanistan battling against what was then the Soviet Union amid the Afghan War. Individuals were enrolled all through the Islamic world standing Al-Qaeda's roots and connections.

On that September day there was a tragedy in the United States, 9-11-01. Even if some of us were not born, we still know what happened. This event affected a lot of people and many were heart broken. The people who had the nerve to do this, Al Qaeda, a terrorist group that was located in Iraq. This essay will focus on the effects of the attack. Although this essay will cover quite a few effects it will not cover all of them. The items we will cover will range from new anti-terrorist organizations to slight airway fees.

Although the threat posed by foreign terrorist organizations is often foremost in the public consciousness as a result of al-Qaeda's attack on September 11th, 2001, the threat from domestic terror groups remains a central concern of those responsible for homeland security. In fact, while the United States has not suffered from another foreign attack in the decade since 9/11, research by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, along with non-governmental organizations, has found that the number of domestic terror groups has increased, a trend only exacerbated by the economic recession (U.S. Department of Justice, 2009, Domestic Terrorism). While there are a wide variety of individual groups and ideologies, most domestic terror groups falls into one of three broad categories: religious extremism, white supremacy, and anti-government and separatists movements, including the militia movement. Examining these domestic terror groups in greater detail will aid in better understanding the full spectrum of threats considered by homeland security personnel.

Al Qaeda (the base) a life-changing event founded by Osama Bin Laden. Al Qaeda is known to be one of the most powerful terrorist organizations in the world. This networking organization has an enormous responsibility of the September 11th attack and other bombings that has brought a great amount of grief, sadness, and sorrow to our country. It shows that everyone is different in the way think in this world and how they perform there actions. The mind of a maniac of how Osama Bin Laden had complete control over his people and how he thought he ruled the world to lead to September 11th is just sick. But it did change America’s hearts forever. We all now have a bond so strong that it can never be broken.

With the emergence of the 21st century the necessity for a broader understanding of security have said present. The world has experienced a variety of new security challenges that have put at stake human safety and have made policymakers all around the world rethink their approach and strategies when it comes to the decision making process. The rise of terrorist organizations in the international arena as well as the development of extremist groups has offered extreme significance to the quest for power and the search for peace, while requiring us to look back and examine our achievements and failures in the analysis of terrorism, extremist groups and our counterterrorism efforts since 9/11. It is essential for all Americans to understand

When discussing terrorism, the groups which most frequently come to mind are those which operate either internationally or specifically in foreign countries, such as al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Al Shabab. However, the United States has a number of domestic terror groups some well-organized, some loosely connected that have perpetrated serious attacks over the last few decades. Al-Qaeda's attacks on September 11th, 2001, and the subsequent wars born out of the United States' response to these attacks have meant that domestic terrorism is less widely discussed topic, this does not mean that domestic terrorist groups do not present a serious threat to the United States and its citizens. By examining known terrorist organizations within the United States and their classifications, it will be possible to demonstrate how and why the country has seen a rise in domestic terror over the last three decades, as well as some possible government responses to these groups that could help to prevent individuals from joining in the first place.

Yoshimoto denotes the safe haven a kitchen provides for Mikage, which exemplifies her view on the comfort given by strong familial relationships. To support this, on page 1 Mikage says ,“…in search of comfort[…]one place I could sleep was beside the refrigerator”. This shows the importance of family, as in Japanese culture the family is considered of utmost importance and when searching for warmth one would go to their family. Another interesting aspect of this quote is the comparison of the refrigerator to a bed. In Japanese culture the bed-or futon- is thought to be good for the body and mind. The fact that Mikage is comparing the comfort of a kitchen-which symbolizes family- to that of a futon exemplifies the bond she has with a kitchen,

When the September 11, 2001 attacks occurred the United States responded in a manner which was seen as a traditional reaction to such an attack; it used its overwhelming superior military to invade the nation of Afghanistan. As Afghanistan was the operating base of the terrorist group responsible for the attacks, Al Qaeda, the invasion all but destroyed the group's operating capacity. But in response to the United States' apparent victory the terrorists have re-organized themselves into a looser confederation and turned to alternative methods of finance and operation. One could say that the success of the American military's answer to the September 11th attacks have created a new environment in which terrorists currently operate. This includes the use of the internet, unconventional alliances with international criminal organizations, as well the inception of the "lone wolf" terrorist. Faced with these new type of threats, the United States and its allies must find a way to identify and deal with them.

Al Qaeda has accomplished three objectives being terrorize, humiliate, and manipulate. Citizens are now afraid to travel because of the real hassles they will encounter at the airports or while traveling overseas. Many still travel but security is always now in the backs of our minds. Al Qaeda has disrupted our lives. Al Qaeda need us their enemy to pay billions and billions of dollars on security. Since 9/11 we've got allocated over 10 times more money than we tend to do previously on counter-terrorism. A significant goal of terrorist group desires Americans to be against Americans, British against British, and so on. They require us to be split. There was a time in our history once a Democrat would still provides a Republican President respect, and the other way around. In today's America there's precious very little respect given to our President by several within the opposition. Objectives that al Qaeda is actively pursuing would be liberating all Muslim lands from occupation by both non-Muslims and apostate rulers. Imposing their version of sharia on Muslims and non-Muslims alike in these lands. Attacking the U.S. is given as the simplest way to attain these goals, suggesting that U.S. evaluations of al Qaeda’s effectiveness have a significant error at their terribly foundation,

In Marge Piercy's book, Woman on the Edge of Time, sex plays a major role in both the utopia and the dystopia. The portrayal of sex in the novel comes from a feminist point of view. The main character, Connie, is caught between a utopian world and a dystopian world where the takes on sex are on different levels. By using a feminist approach, the two worlds of sex can be examined and contrasted.

Differing accounts on either pole focus on al-Qaeda’s continued relevance as the premier terrorist network, whether it is any longer effective or not. From there, the natural conclusion comes around to asking how effective al-Qaeda is, and by which mechanisms does it project that effectiveness. Aside from this, both parties agree that al-Qaeda has an uncanny habit of surviving in the turbulent international dialectic that spawned radical Muslim distress, vicariously.

There are many things that I needed to say to you that I’ve never been able to. I don’t know how you’re going to react or what you’re going to think, but it’s gotten to the point where things have gone on as they are long enough. I use the gift for writing to convey messages that I need to get across. If nothing else, know that I’m shaking uncontrollably as I write this message.
