After the 9/11 attack many Americans have come to realize what terrorism really is, but for the kids that 9/11 was history to here you go. Terrorism today is the use of violence usually against other countries aimed towards politics. Targeting terrorist leaders might not make much difference, but it is cheap, it is low risk for the United States (Fisher,par.18). According to Max Fisher’s article going after terrorist leaders isn’t always the best, well the U.S. did that for the 9/11 attack, we ended up killing Osama Bin Laden the man who planned 9/11 out.

This week’s attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, which killed at least 49 and wounded at least 50 more, ranks as the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history (Gatehouse, par.2). After the triple suicide bombing at the Istanbul airport on Tuesday, a Qaeda official used Twitter to issue a stinging rebuke of the attack blamed on ISIS (Callimachi, par.8).

    Although the fox news can grab audience’s attention by using a strong term like ‘terror’, it seems like the term has been overused. Sensational terms can alter the public’s mood and disturb the society with fear. To be more specific, Roland von Känel from Neuropsychosomatic and Stress Biology Research Group in Switzerland wrote in the article that “that about one in five victims who survive a terrorist attack will develop posttraumatic stress disorder that is characterized by symptoms such as intrusive memories and nightmares of the violent act, feeling emotionally numb and easily startled” (1248). That being said, reminding the victims who has survived from terrorist attack with unnecessary use of the term will stir their mental instability.

  • Domestic Terrorism

    The term terrorism is inextricably intertwined with the notion of foreign actors unleashing widespread disaster on American soil. This notion is not unfounded and carries a very real and very dangerous threat to the US. While the US must of course be constantly vigilant with regard to the threat of an attack emanating from a foreign land, the US must also consider an equally dangerous threat that lurks in our own backyard: the domestic terrorist. Make no mistake, the use of the word domestic should by no means diminish, and should in no way normalize the malevolency these groups perpetuate. One is tempted to limit one’s thinking regarding domestic terrorism to the latest news story and how that may affect the US in the here and now.

    Recent discoveries show, “Of 134 jihadist-inspired terrorists who have carried out or plotted attacks here since 9/11, 96 were U.S. citizens” (Jenkins). In the United States there has been a serious rise in domestic terrorism, however the government refuses to acknowledge it. Instead their focus has been abroad, rightly so in some cases, while more domestic attacks make headline news. The change in visa laws does nothing, because since 9/11 86% of the terror attacks have been plotted or carried out by American citizens. Therefore, the United States needs to step up its efforts to combat domestic terrorism because the jail time is too short for current terrorists, there are no true task forces for current attacks, and there has been an increase of these groups and attacks.
