Terrorism By Abedellah Taïa

Caleb Carr is stressing that terrorism is never the answer throughout this chapter and I presume, the rest of the book. This is clearly shown in him saying "for just as meeting the tactics of terror in kind will only perpetuate the cycle of terrorist violence.." As for whether or not the affect of Roman warfare can be applied to today's governments in training people that are not of their own, it can be. Carr begins to explain this when he says "There is an irony concerning most of those rebel leaders that also holds enormous implications for our present experience..." (p. 37).

The French newspaper Le Monde announced on September 12, 2001, “Today, we are all Americans.” People around the world agreed: The terrorist attacks of the previous day had felt like attacks on everyone, everywhere. They provoked an unprecedented expression of shock, horror, solidarity and sympathy for the victims and their families (Reaction to

There were suicide bombings in cafe’s, restaurants, and a concert hall. One event of the night was a police and terrorist standoff after the terrorists took hostages. There were 80-99 people who were seriously wounded, and 365 other people who had lesser injuries. Seven ISIS attackers were also killed during the attacks. The Paris attacks were the worst attacks since WW2 .

The thundering sound of the bomb blast could be heard for miles. Men, women, and children run frantically in order to find shelter, being blinding by the massive amounts of dust that have caused the sky to turn yellow. Mothers are scavenging for their children, who were playing games outside, now stuck deep in the rubble of buildings that have collapsed on top of them. Houses have been destroyed, families have been obliterated and innocent lives have been lost. For many around the world, situations like these have become a part of everyday life. In A Pure, High Note of Anguish, author Barbara Kingsolver describes the confusion and questions that arose after the terrorist attacks in New York City on September 11th. 9/11 was the largest terrorist

The attack of Kenya was just as bad as the one of Paris, but unfortunately, as the writer of an article published by “Washington Post” addressed, not everyone will express their feelings as others would do simply because they haven’t had any experiences, or any kind of connection with the place, and it’s completely

Ivana Kottasova,a european finance reporter, exposes how the detrimental terrorist attacks fatally affect the French economy in her recent article from CNN Terror attacks cost Air France $54 million in lost revenue (December 8 2015, London, England);therefore, Kottasova asserts that the loss in revenue derives from the anxiety remaining in tourists after the deadly attacks in Paris. At first, Kottasova focuses solely in the decline of Air France’s revenue; then, Kottasova shifts the focus from Air France to the focus on the fatalistic forecast of the declining french economy; finally, Kottasova establishes the effects from the deteriorating economy through suffering businesses in Paris. Kottasova’s purpose is to portray the dwindling revenue

Paris is an Americanized country: we hold similar values politically, socially and economically and because of these, it hit remarkably close to home. We came together in an act of compassion and unity because many of us have either been to Paris or have had a desire to go, and this shocking event of extremism simply terrified us knowing that our safety could just as easily be jeopardized.

The Paris shootings lead up to relative issues to be discussed with global citizens and politicians in this problematic world. Children are dying of hunger, unimpeachable lives are being lost, religious hatred rising and terrorism increasing by day by day.

On the evening of Friday, 13 November 2015, a massacre including of public mass shootings and suicide bombings occurred in the capital of France, Paris. The attackers killed 130 people and wounded 368 serious injuries. Just 10 months previous, on January 7, 2015 two terrorists attacked Charlie Hebdo, an office of a Parisian satirical magazine. They killed eleven and wounded eleven people. During the attacks in Paris, no one victim was armed. They didn’t have any chance to defense for themselves. When police arrived, it was too late to save the innocents. The world today is full of dangerous with terrorism, criminals, mass shootings, and so forth. We 're not safe from anything.

Akerman takes a very different approach to the Paris calamity. He implores that a united multicultural front is not the correct response to the atrocities committed. Instead, he uses the tragedy to articulate his right wing views through blatant fear mongering.

Eyder Peralta wrote an article sponsored by NPR under the Two-Way breaking news titled “When Is An Act Of Violence An Act Of Terrorism?” The author includes examples of acts of violence such as shootings from various parts of the country. Then, includes the opinions of professors on how to tell the difference between an act of violence and an act of terrorism. Beginning the article, Peralta highlights how difficult it is to decipher the muddled situations of violence. Then, throughout the article, Peralta picks apart the differences. Lakoff, a professor, said “That's because, she says, "terrorism itself, whatever that is" lives in a place between crime and war.” Peralta mentions how the uncertainty of terrorism versus random acts of violence

the single largest terrorist attack ever experienced by this country, thousands are dead or missing, tens of thousands of people in this country know someone who was killed or injured, and many more have witnessed or heard about the attack through the media. The impact of this magnitude of terrorist attack will affect people at all levels of involvement: victims, bereaved family members, friends, rescue workers,

The time was November 13th, 2015 and it was typical fall evening in Paris. On the streets, people shopped and families ate their dinner in outdoor restaurants. There was no warning to the disaster that would strike later in the evening. Suddenly, a car screeched into the street and gunshots rang through the air. There were screams and people ran for cover as the shooting continued. Within an hour, thirty nine people were killed and many more injured. The Paris Attacks had begun. The 2015 Paris Attacks was a series of three attacks that outcome to being the worst massacre in the modern history of France. In total, it killed killed a hundred thirty people and injured hundreds.

The attacks in Paris are unquestionably horrific, but whether they could be used to legally justify an all-out war on ISIS is far from clear.” The Atlantic, a newspaper said this about the attacks, In the aftermath of attacks like the one in Paris on Friday, which killed 129 and critically wounded nearly as many, two sets of questions tend to arise: How could this happen? And why did it happen? The “how” questions are what preoccupy investigators for the first few days after such an attack, as they race to identify the terrorists and their partners before they can strike again. A terrorist act such as the Paris attacks usually involve many more people than the wrongdoers; as of this writing, seven known terrorists have been killed, but authorities in France and Belgium, where the attacks are believed to have been organized.
