Self-Persecution Of ISIS And Terrorism

ISIS is being led by multiple people who are extremely resistant to compromise and believe that they are following a prophecy. They have a divine prophecy that they will either be led to a great demise or a wonderful ending where they will come out on top. ISIS is vastly different than many other groups by the fact that they are led by a very strong willed leadership.

Religious terrorism is regularly portrayed as demonstrations of unreasonable, silly and indiscriminate violence, along these lines offering few, if any what really spur religious terrorism measures. This presumption about religious terrorism comes from different nations, groups and individual’s. Unbalanced regard for prophetically catastrophic terrorism, and an absence of qualification between religious terrorism and its mainstream partner. This article, in this manner, expects to do four things: characterize and separate religiously inspired terrorism, confidence, and activism along the lines of faith and violence. Furthermore, prescribe a scope of religion, confidence, and terrorism systems in view of these perceptions.

War of Words: The Effect of the Media on the Iranian Hostage Crisis and the Formation of the Social Identity of Radical Islamic Extremists

Lone wolf terrorism has been defined as an act of terror carried out by a terrorist who is not part of a group of directed by an outside organization. Lone wolf terrorism is not a new problem, however, the number of attacks carried out by lone wolfs has increased in recent years. Attacks carried out by lone wolfs usually kill fewer people than large scale terror attacks. However, lone wolf attacks have huge impacts and have been cited as fueling Islamophobia, have contributed to isolating Muslim communities, and empowering radicalists. IS has embraced lone wolfs and have used these attacks to their advantage. These attacks have allowed IS to spread their message in the West without sending fighters to different locations in the West. These

The purpose of this paper is to annotate four sources that I will analyze for my final research paper. These sources focus on the following items: (a) Comparing Muslim converts and non-converts in the United States, (b) the psychology of radicalization, (c) the risk of radicalization and terrorism, and (d) how we can combat homegrown radicalization and terrorism. By analyzing these sources, I will be able to develop in-depth reasoning on this topic and complete the research paper.

In Noah Rayman’s article “CIA Director Says ISIS Not Islamic, But ‘Psychopathic’” he quotes the CIA director saying that ISIS isn’t Islamic, but psychopathic. Rayman correlates this to Obama’s refusal to accept ISIS as a branch of Islamic ideology, and the controversy it has caused. They both claim that ISIS is undeserving of such nomination, and they use this as a means to recruit “regular” Muslims. Brennan goes on to say they “don’t deserve it at all”. The commander in chief and the CIA director both truly believe ISIS, and other extreme jihadist groups, are an isolated manifesto perpetuated to illude susceptible Muslims into devoting themselves to their cause and made-up apocalyptical scenario.

During the round table discussion, I learned many things about what’s really going on with Isis and the possible results of this terrorism. Some things I absorbed from Isis consist of how they want to try and pick a fight with everyone around them and how they are trying to make the end of times occur. The roots of terrorism goes back centuries. Some professors stated that Isis is only trying to get America’s undivided attention by doing all of this unnecessary damage. Dr. Parker claimed that they have enticed the use of social media to inflict fear upon the American population, and those around them. President Obama claimed in a speech that Isis had been contained, and then they attacked Paris which brought complete surprise upon everyone

The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, commonly known as ISIS, has frightened the whole world by committing attacks in the Middle East, Paris, and San Bernardino, California. ISIS claims to be the legitimate ruler of all Muslims and it operates the Muslim world. ISIS was able to expand as the result of local groups conflicts with Western interests. Daniel Byman declares that local groups are attracted to ISIS for genuine conviction. Particularly, young men believe that ISIS is the defender and avenger of Sunnis worldwide. On the other hand, some groups join ISIS for accessibility to financial and technical aid. While , ISIS grows beyond Iraq and Syria, religious intolerance is created. The group delivers its religious beliefs by barbarian acts, such as beheading and rape to intimidate their enemies and obtain supporters.

It is not an easy task to come out with the reasons that drive someone to be involved in a terrorist action, sure it is not a voluntary action. DeAngelis 2009, stated that the psychology of terrorism is marked more by theory and opinion than by good science. Research show that the tourists’ actions are viewed in term of political and groups’ dynamic processes rather than individual ones. The association between September 11th and Islam that comes as a result of the war on terrorism that declared by the United States and the United Kingdom against Bin Laden and his gangs who were not representing Muslims or Islam at anyway. The war today is not between Muslims and non-Muslims, it is the war against an expansionist ideology that feeds hate that

I believe that individuals become involved in terrorism simply because they want to. In my opinion most of them has experienced some type of rejection in their life, or is unhappy with the outcome of their future. They want to feel important as well as a part of something that does not go unnoticed. They need retribution in order to feel whole again. Out of all four types of theories as to why individuals get involved with terrorism I am leaning more to “because they are denied access to opportunities”. Basically they want something that they cannot have, resulting in them acting out with frustration which leads to them afflicting harm on others. To them nothing and no one else matters, except the terrorist group where they belong, so they

Islamophobia means “act of fear and hostility towards the Islamic religion” (Alshammari). The media has contributed a lot toward fearing the society with linking various global violence toward the religion of Islam rather than signaling out a group of extremist who has overtaken the religion of Islam. The word Islam means “peace” according to the Koran, but people now associate Islam with violence rather than peace. The society has portrayed misleading interpretations of the real meaning of Islam.

One of the most basic rights that I believed I was granted as a result of being born in the United States is the right to practice any religion of my choosing. This freedom of religion seemed to be one of the basic beliefs upon which our country was founded on, a place where anyone could escape persecution due to their religious beliefs and freely worship the god of their choosing. Unfortunately, recent events that have taken place in our country have threatened the right of individuals to continue to freely practice their religion of choice in America. While this country was founded on the belief that freedom of religion is a right of every citizen, the reality is many of our country’s population is being harassed to the point that they

Terrorism is used around the world to create fear and influence the public on political views (Siegel, 489). There are four views of terrorism including the psychological view, socialization view, ideological view, and the alienation view. A religious terrorist would most likely fit under the ideological view. In this view the terrorist feels the need to change a wrong opinion and believes that, because they are sacrificing themselves for something they believe so strongly in, it justifies the damage and harm done to innocent people (Siegel, 490). They use terror to create fear in anyone who opposes them and attract followers to their religion. In short, terrorism is widely used for political

After 9/11 has induced negative attitudes towards Muslim peoples who tend to be strongly associated with any act of terrorism. The media has played a colossal role in developing such negative association wherein it constantly portrays Muslim people in combination with violent terrorist acts. It does so in a way that they both go hand-and-hand. In other words, it has made it as though the Islamic religion is synonymous with terrorism. The media has perpetuated Muslim stereotypes over the years that followed the 9/11 incident. Because of this, society has developed, and still has developed, this prejudiced mindset about the Islamic religion and the Muslim communities around the world. People immediately assume that any violent act being
