Also recently there has been attacks in Paris and Great Britain, which were ISIS’s plan. The biggest terrorist organizations include the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and quite recently ISIS. The Taliban was founded in 1994, by Mullah Mohammed Omar, and they kill people in the name of jihad. Al-Qaeda was founded by Osama Bin Laden and also kill for jihad. Finally ISIS was founded recently hand continues to grow rapidly. They kill indiscriminately and how they see fit (Ppcorn, n.d.).

The horrifying and violent events that have occurred since the appearance if ISIS struck fear into the hearts of people all across the world.

The Fourth Wave of Terrorism began with Al-Qaeda and it must end with destruction of this organization. Al-Qaeda is the most notable terrorist organization of the twenty first century. Many of the group like Al-Shabaab in Somalia, Abu Sayyaf of Philippines and Boko Haram in Nigeria are designated by global community as a terrorist

The War on terror has been a main focus for the U.S for many years now. The U.S. first got involved in the war on September 11th, 2001, when two planes crashed in to the World Trade Center in New York City, and one in to the Pentagon in Washington D.C., making it the worst thing that has happened on U.S soil since Pearl Harbor. The one thing the U.S. did that nobody else could do was the way responded and how well the U.S. did. “The United States responded by attacking al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan, one of several countries where the group had operations. The government in Afghanistan was brutal and supported the terrorists, so less than a month after the attacks of September 11, the United States invaded Afghanistan to break up al-Qaeda and the Afghan government” (Pressler). The U.S. is seen as a major world leader, and responded to this is not only to help their self, but also to prevent

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, popularly known as ISIS and Daesh, is the 21st centuries rising global threat to humanity. The world has united to reduce and ultimately prevent genocide. In the paper ISIS will be referenced as Daesh. The initial part of the essay will cover Daesh origins, ideology, goals, and objectives.

The most recent presidential race associated the most dangerous fear and entity to the United States is ISIS, which is a radical Islamist extremist group that models their actions closely with Sharia Law. ISIS mainly consists of terrorists that are willing to do anything to destroy more prominent Western civilization. ISIS is the terrorist group of this current generation; however, they were not the first terrorist group in this region. Terrorist groups started as a result of Arab nations lack of ability to militarily confront Israel during the 1960s. The Palestinian secular movements such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Al Fatah began to target civilians that were not associated within the immediate arena of conflict.

It was quite eye-opening to find out that every single country in our world has experienced a terrorist attack, whether that be minor or major. Gaining knowledge about this issue allowed us to come up with solutions to combat this problem, in order to avoid getting targeted by other countries. The largest and most well-known terrorist group in Syria is named ISIS (Islamic State of Iran and Syria). This group has taken over many cities in Syria, including the city of Damascus which has been named “ISIS’ Capital City”. ISIS frequently targets families, and many foreign civilians. During my research, I came to the realization that many other countries also have terrorist groups, which are unheard of in the media. For this task, I researched terrorism in Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Japan, China, Iran, and India. During this research, I learned that Saudi Arabia is one of the largest sponsors of terrorism, and they are the world’s largest source of funds/promoters of Salafist Jihadism, which is where terrorist groups such as ISIS, and al-Qaeda get their ideological basis. Iran, much like Saudi Arabia, is classified by the U.S government as the “most active state sponsor of terrorism”. After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, they have been accused

In the past 15 years, the threat of terrorism has grown immensely, the frequency of attacks is the highest it has ever been. With these terrorist attacks becoming so frequent, there is great risk to the citizens of western countries. In the article “The Road to Orlando: Jihadist-Inspired Violence in the West, 2012-2016,” Sam Mullins states that while the number of attacks has increased, the number of deaths has decreased because most attacks are carried out by individuals, not terrorist groups. Sam Mullins is a professor with a Ph.D. in Counterterrorism, and has also been a very strong contributor to some of the most influential terrorism research journals. The main focus of the article was on the perpetrators of these attacks and how most

The PBS documentary, “The Rise of Isis,” shows a look at how the pulling of troops and a corrupt government led to the rise of the terrorist organization known as Isis. In 2011, the Obama administration pulled U.S. troops from the middle east and Iraq was presented as country ready to govern itself. The Iraqi Prime Minister, Maliki, came to the United States to declare all of this on television. A government official features on the documentary said Obama would regret this. While in the U.S. Maliki received a phone call from Iraq stating that his vice president’s guards were planning an assignation attempt, in response Maliki ordered his arrest. Vice President of Iraq, Hashemi denies all claims of this. However, he does claim that many of his

For the past few years, the terrorist group ISIS has made headlines around the world with their acts of terror and rapid spread. Naturally, people all over the Earth have called for the obliteration of ISIS, and many have looked to the US for action. The question that prevails the most: should the US put soldiers in Syria to try and directly destroy this radical terrorist group? The safest, most reliable answer is an emphatic no, the US should not put "boots on the ground" against ISIS.

Terrorism is defined as the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. It’s a problem that the United States and other countries have dealt with since before 9/11 but more significantly afterwards. On September 11, 2001, there was a series of four attacks by the Islamic terrorist group known as al-Qaeda. Two planes crashed into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and a third crashed into the Pentagon, which houses the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense in Virginia. There was a fourth plane that was on track to Washington, D.C. but crashed into field in Pennsylvania. Several lives were lost, a total of 2,977 according to a CNN report. However 9/11 was only the beginning of terrorist attacks. Although 9/11 happened in the United Sates, terrorist attacks are felt worldwide and happen in countries other than the U.S. Recently, there have been terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels. In 2015-16 alone there have been 10 known terrorist attacks in places such as Syria, Nigeria and Iraq, which doesn 't include the minuscule ones that the media doesn 't cover. I will describe the beginnings of terrorism. Second, I will show the influence of religion on terrorism, particularly Islam. Lastly, describe the effects of terrorism on different parts of the world and its causes.

The main topic of this article is ISIS has become the most dangerous ,most vulnerable terrorist group in the entire history of the USA. The article is about how ISIS has been intimidating the USA in many different ways such as beheadings and suicide bombings. The only problem is that ISIS is targeting not only the Iraqi government and the American forces in Iraq but as well as Shia Muslims , Christians and increasingly, civilians of all faiths in unpredictable that include violent attacks such as the one's I mention, beheadings and suicidal bombing. The USA is mostly attacking instead of thinking over ways to intimidate and scare ISIS but the problem is that are in a place where all people can do is talk to impress others but do not act like they should be instead of wasting time on talking.

Al Qaeda is a name well known around the world, more known after the Twin Towers were hit on September 11th in 2001. Many wonder why we were targeted, why so many lives were lost and instantly wanted to retaliate without conjecturing “Why does Al Qaeda have such a hatred for democratic countries?” This hatred is ostensible in their violent assaults against countries such as America, Europe, and Africa, not only on 9/11 but well before and well after. Some would say Osama Bin Laden (OBL) is the basis and mastermind behind all these attacks, while others would say it was the ideology which OBL believed and had other to believe as well. Meanwhile, President Bush used the notion of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) to push troops into the Middle
