Issue Guide Summary : Terrorism

Ever since 9/11 when both World Trade Center buildings were attacked by an Islamic Group, attacks by Islamic Terrorist on U.S. soil have been less of a threat than Domestic Terrorists. Domestic Terrorism has been shown these passed for years but yet again most of these cases have not been classified as acts of Domestic Terrorism they most likely fall into the category. Now the definition of Domestic Terrorism is basically "the committing of terrorist acts in the perpetrator 's own country against their fellow citizens". Now personally I don 't know how our government is working with these popular cases like Charlottesville, Las Vegas, and a new that just happened recently actually two but I 'll just say one, the New York attack that

Terrorism is a massive problem--everybody realizes that. Regardless of origin, culture, country, or political standpoint, every sane person understands that terrorism is something that is still relatively prevalent in the world, and something needs to be done about it. The problem, however, is that there is no easy solution. The United States tends to take overbearing control and responsibility for all terrorist threats, groups, and attacks, but this is simply not reasonable. Although we cannot expect every country to take initiative against terrorist threats like ISIS, sustained international coordination is necessary to effectively confront transnational terrorist groups (Shirkey). This way, the US can begin taking care of themselves and their own country, as they still have many issues that have yet to be solved. While working together is important, though, it is not the key to solving the problem. What we must do in addition is investigate and address the root causes of terrorism, and analyse them in detail in order to best combat terrorist groups at their roots.

Domestic Terrorism is the use of violent acts intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal. Domestic terrorism is a broad term, and several individuals who perform these attacks do not think their acts fall under that umbrella. Whether they believe it is an act of terroristic crime or not, several attacks that have occurred in the recent years whether it had a huge impact or not, still falls under domestic terrorism. Although the Global Terrorism Database has gone to great lengths to avoid the spread of terrorist attacks, attacks are still unavoidable; there is still a homegrown rise in domestic terrorism. As a society, we must ponder and try to find the reason why domestic

As a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, most Americans have a general knowledge about terrorism. The U.S. military has been at war for around a decade, continuing the concentration of the media and politicians on Middle Eastern countries and terrorist groups. Consequently, the focus of the nation tends to remain on international terrorist groups rather than domestic terrorist groups. There is a vast amount of terrorism groups in America, including the Army of God, the Aryan Nations, and the Animal Liberation Front, who possess extreme ideals and exist for different reasons. The fact that there are numerous terrorist groups that are composed of American citizens performing tremendous acts of violence within the U.S. seems to go somewhat unnoticed by the general public.

Is America doing enough to address “domestic” terrorism? The American people are misunderstood or what domestic terrorism consist of, because the government at times has times identifying what acts of crimes might considered domestic terrorism. If we want to understand the threats we face, we have to identify what the problem is. The problem is that there’s a racial and ideological dimension to what gets labeled terrorism and what doesn’t. It gets subjected to political and rhetorical manipulation. People need to understand that it doesn’t matter what your religion or your background is. There’s terrorism in all forms (). We don’t really have a good understanding of what terrorism is," Gerstein says, noting that Seung-Hui Cho, the Virginia Tech shooter, killed 32 people, “but we’re not really calling him a terrorist – we’re calling him something else. But the Fort Hood shooter – he killed 13 people, yet we called him a domestic terrorist. People need to understand that it doesn’t matter what your religion or your background is.

America should respond to threats of terrorism by collaborating with other countries to fight terrorism. There are two reasons why America should respond to threats of terrorism by collaborating with other countries to fight terrorism. One reason is that it could bring countries together to make a strong international community and have more military, finance, diplomatic, and intelligence tools necessary to address terrorism. The second reason is that it could get the U.S. more allies to help them with their problems.

U.S. foreign policy is plunging head first in its war on terrorism. Our focus is expanding and including various dynamics that harbor American interests.

Terrorism is a large issue that American foreign policy will not be able to tackle in the manner it has set out to do.

In order for the United States of America and its allies to live a life free of terrorist threats, they need to counter violent extremism and terrorism with swift and deliberate prevention efforts world-wide.

Have you ever had a fear for your family, your town, your country, or your world. How about the fear to have everything taken from you, destroyed, and not caring if it has hurt you or not? What about your fear and pain is, and can be someone else’s happiness? The fear of you being terrorized? That is terrorism. Someone else bringing fear and terrorizing you. That is a terrorist’s goal.

Terrorism needs to stop to protect the live of the people, and their country.
