Terrorism Is Not Just The Inhumane Actions Against Innocent Civilians

Additionally, John Mueller lambasts what he labels as the socially constructed ‘terrorist industry,’ which he attacks for artificially inflating concerns over terrorist attacks. Instead, Mueller confirms that the damage caused by terrorism is not materially significant but stems primarily from the fear that it creates. Violent retaliation is viewed as a form of ‘self-flagellation’ that provides the terrorists with exactly what they want. As mentioned, realist definitions of power, self-interest and rationality lack explanatory prowess when non-state actors are able to subvert states thanks largely in part to the use of suicide-terrorism. The proliferation of terrorist groups and their use of suicide-tactics in many ways defies realist expectations and conclusions.

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

Terrorism is a current threat to our nation, to our lives, to our neighboring countries, and also, to our nation’s allies. While terrorism consists of acts of violence, nevertheless, the loss of innocent lives occur during the process of these acts of violence.

On November 13, 2015, the French capital of Paris was brutally bombarded with one terrorist attack after another. These attacks are a few of the most tragic events to grip France since WWII. The attacks may not have lasted long, but they will leave an everlasting mark on the minds of the people of France. A lot happened within a short time frame, in other words. A few main points of interest are the people behind the attack, the locations that were targeted, and the overall response from French legislation.

The terrorist attacks in America have since publicized controversial attitudes in understanding and defining terrorism. There is a misconception of terrorism as it was only in actuality brought to light after the attacks in America on 11 September 2001 (Best & Nocella, 2004); this has guided many to assume that terrorism arose in light of the 11 September attacks, when actually terrorism did not begin in 2001; nor is it restricted to extremists in the Middle East. Here is where much of the difficulty lies in defining terrorism; thus the now famous quotation, “One person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter’.

Gunmen and suicide bombers attacked a concert hall, a major stadium, and a number of restaurants and bars. At least 129 people died in the attacks.

September 11, 2001 is a day that lives in infamy for American people. Every year Americans remember the how for the first time in history, multiple aircrafts were hijacked and used as weapons to destroy American landmark buildings such as the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. The 9/11 terrorist attacks marked the first instance of globalized terrorism. 9/11 and every act of terrorism after like Je suis Charlie and the November Paris attacks represents the economic and political nexus of emerging terrorist groups like al-Qaeda. This paper will compare the perspectives of two scholarly journals on terrorism, Dirk Haubrich’s “Modern politics in an Age of Global Terrorism: New Challenges for Public Policy” and Alan Krueger’s “Education, Poverty and Terror: Is there a causal connection?” to compare how terrorism is addressed politically and economically from each discipline. The paper “Modern politics in an Age of Global Terrorism: New

On November 13, 2015, the Islamic radical group ISIS carried out an assault on Paris killing over 129 citizens, wounding 352, and critically wounding 99 of them.

Though terrorism does have many manifest functions (varies depending on the form of terrorism), such as humiliating a global power, murdering opponents, or transforming global civilization relations, it also offers many latent functions that act as eufunctional consequences as opposed to dysfunctional consequences. Terrorism can often form and strengthen social solidarity and cohesiveness, for both the terrorists and the victims. Terrorism can bring individuals together through a common cause, such as groups using terrorist tactics in fighting for their liberation. Yet, terrorism can have the same effect on greater society, as it can increase solidarity as society united to defeat a common enemy (i.e. the Western world’s collective condemnation of ISIS). Terrorism often provokes a response that can, in turn, integrate

On the night of November 13, Paris was attacked by a terrorist group called ISIS and that killed at least 129 people and injured more than 350. They were total of 6 attacks happened on that night. Gunmen with weapons stride angrily enters the court hall, firing into the crowd, taking hostages, and killing them one by one. Also they were suicide bombers and gunmen with guns start shooting at the local restaurants and café. My first interesting thing I learned from my article is that terrorists group ISIS claimed the responsibility for Paris attack and downing the Russian plane. “ISIS is the radical Sunni Muslim group that has taken over large parts of Syria and Iraq and imposed strict Islamic Law and they immediately claimed responsibility for Paris attack and downing the plane of Russian passenger plane over Egypt, which killed 224 people aboard.” (12, 13) I chose this passage because ISIS is behind the Paris attacks and downing the plane, they wanted to conquer territory by killing people. And I did more research about the ISIS; their strength is about 52600-257900 in total. My second interesting fact I chose is that France and USA quickly attacked Syria and Iraq to fight against them. “But the response quickly went beyond grief and words. French warplanes bombed the Syrian city of Raqqa, where ISIS is based and USA stepped up its own attacks, striking a convey of ISIS trucks in Syria that were carrying oil.” (13) I chose this passage because countries around the world fighting against the terrorist groups and trying to stop them before they attack any other country and kill people.

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 terrorist group that organized and carried out the attacks was

This article recaps the terrorist attack on Paris. For example, in each section on the article, there’s a heading for each main question asked by the american people. The article stated that the ISIS terrorist group planned an attack on Paris, France at a soccer stadium and a concert hall, even though there were 6 incidents. There were around 130 deaths with more than 300 injuries. They arrested the people responsible and brought them to justice. In conclusion, this article summarizes and gives the answers to questions on the terrorist attack on Paris.

The Fox News article “Paris attacks drive home harsh realities of extremism for US police and civilians alike,” addresses the aftermath of potential danger that could ensue because of the attacks in Paris, where a series of shootings and bombings occurred in November of 2015 killing many civilians. The majority of the perpetrators of these attacks were born in France or elsewhere in Europe. The article states matter-of-factly that the attacks abroad assure that danger is imminent for the United States. It also makes a call for civilians to be aware and cognizant of imminent attacks. The blame for the violence is placed on terrorists who are painted exclusively as Muslim extremists. The article plays into the systemic discrimination against Arab people as well and is written in a fashion that places the United States as the focal, most important nation in the world in a problematic, Western world view.

The history of terrorism can be traced back as far as the French revolution. Some of these acts of terrorism only seem as distant reminders of our past, but at the same time, are not a far cry from today’s brutal acts; and although these acts seem distant, it doesn’t also mean they are no longer in the thoughts of individuals in today’s time.

On the evening of November 13, 2015, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks took place in Paris and its northern suburb, Saint-Denis. Starting from 21:20 CET, three suicide bombers struck near the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, followed by suicide bombings and spree shootings at cafés, restaurants and a music venue in central Paris (de la Hamaide). The terrorists killed 130 people and left hundreds
