Solutions of terrorism mostly discussed in media or reactions directly after a terror threat is often a drastic and offensive act related to counter-terrorism. They all have something in common, which is that they are mostly short-term solution the problem of terrorism It’s something that maybe will not stop terrorism all together, but to give a response and hope to prevent some attacks. While they are short-term from the start, they can be long-term as well in the sense that you remove a certain part of a group, like bombing a certain cell. An important distinction to make is between counter-terrorism and anti-terrorism. The action taken in a more offensive matter are often counter-terrorism, while defensive actions such as homeland security, …show more content…
All terrorism has both religious and political means in some ways. They have a purpose. It’s politics, using other means. It is highly correlated with a political agenda, and therefor this makes sense. They cannot get their voice heard, so they use violence, and they see it being a rational choice. This is true for The Army of god in America, who want to remove abortion rights, which when their political agenda to do so went down, they resort to terrorism, just as it is for groups for ISIS and so forth. Because there is a purpose and a motive behind it. The religious one has the thing in common which is the uniting of justification for extreme violence, in the name of a God. Going into to the solution, there are several aspects. You can in some cases give them their political agenda, or a voice. This is not true for the big religious groups, but more for smaller ones. Because you need to remember that the focus is not on just one group, which the conversation sometimes steams from. There are terror groups everywhere, and from every political side. There have been before and there may be after. So, the discussion aspects work in some cases, have worked previously. The question is if you would want to take a discussion with groups like ISIS. What would you gain out of it? We know their agenda, and they know the rest of the worlds stance on that. The problem with that is that while gaining political agenda is one thing, but if they do not get the attention and voices heard, they may resort back to terror. Understanding them will create different
A example in modern day that relates to this is Isis is attacking our country and they recruit people to go
When you compare Buddhism and 9/11, they are on two different sides of the spectrum, when we think of Buddhism, we normally think of people that are very relaxed and zen with themselves and focus on the high nad rich natures of life that life is happy. Through the Four Noble Truths by Buddha, he would teach his followers and show them what empowers us to acquire genuine and extreme advantages by making satisfying lives, upbeat families, congruous social orders, prosperous countries and a serene world. With religion there are a lot of people that are very passionate about their religion and think it is above other religions that people believe in and when they come across a believer of another religion they could get violent towards the other
Religion itself is not the issue, it is the people who interpret it falsely to gain political and cultural benefits that serve as the issue. On the news, it is common to hear about new plots and tragedy brought about by terrorists and their organizations. Terrorists take religious practice seriously. For when a nation or person threatens their religion, it could result in the death of innocent people and could possibly take their own lives in the act. One of the most recent incident of terrorism was toward a French magazine office that had published a satirical, yet controversial, image of Muhammad, which triggered a terrorist attack among the office in order to bring justice to the terrorist's god.
However, these measures do not work in full for the following reasons: 1. There has been a week cooperation between the EU Member States and the special EU institutions (Europol and Eurojust) in this sphere, in particular on the exchange of information and in coordinating the work on joint investigations and operations. 2. There is a general reluctance on the part of States to provide financial assistance and to give up part of their political sovereignty to European counter-terrorism agencies. The consequence of financial constraints is the impossibility of effective formation and maintenance of the functioning of counterterrorism structures and mechanisms at the interstate level.
Rough Draft: 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. Terrorist groups like the Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Jihadist are a threat to mankind.
The mission of the Bureau is to promote national security of United States of America (Kraft and Edward 6). It achieves that by taking the leading role in developing strategies and approaches that are coordinated so as to defeat terrorism and also to secure counterterrorism within the United States of America. The current policy options aim to strengthen the civilian capacity, partnerships, and information sharing throughout the states to create awareness to people on the impacts and root causes of terrorism activities. In addition, there are law enforcements policies and judicial capabilities that provide mitigation measures to the terrorism and violent extremism (Kraft and Edward 101). These laws aim at disrupting the terrorist transit, investigating, and prosecuting those involved in terrorist
Terrorism and its impact on policing Stockton University Grizel Rivera 10/28/2015 Abstract Terrorism has not made a lasting impact on Americans until September 11, 2001. Since 9/11, research on terrorism has been increasing and it had been determined that terrorism is a complex area. So law enforcement needs to be educated on the different aspects of terrorism. Since September 11th, local, state, and federal law enforcement have made changes to become more effective in detecting terrorists and deterring attacks.
Many issues are going on that needs to be fixed by the upcoming president. That is one reason we need to make sure we become educated about social issues when elected our next president. It is hard to choose just one social issue that needs to be changed but if I have to pick on it would be terrorism. Terrorism is “the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.” (Dictionary)
Homegrown Terror is violent acts committed by citizens or residents of a state against their own people or property within that state without foreign influence in an effort to instill fear on a population or government as a tactic designed to advance political, religious, or ideological objectives. This topic has been one of the most talked about in the presidential race. The politicians in the running, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, are often given the question about their solution with homegrown terrorism. All of their solutions that were mentioned on both sides, were both very interesting. But at the end, one of the solution, that Clinton made and it really stood out the most.
Their claim that they attack innocent people to serve their God grants them a greater moral justification to be excessively violent and take more lives than any other motive. Whereas secular terrorists typically target certain political or ethnic groups, religious terrorists get to annihilate nearly anyone because most do not share their radical religious beliefs (Hoffman 215). Since their victims are not followers of their faith, violent extremists can dehumanize them as being unhuman or unworthy of life, and further diminish ethical restrictions on how much brutality they can inflict (Hoffman 216). Religion was undeniably a major aspect of the violent events discussed in this paragraph, but it would be untruthful to say that the just cause of serving a faith was the primary motivation for causing the incredibly unjust sufferings and deaths resulting from these
On January 4th of 2018 New York Times states that "A suicide bomber working for ISIS attacked a market where shopkeepers were protesting against the police killing 20 and wounding two dozen." Here, again we see two instances where a group of people twists their religion to kill these people and cause terror. This doesn't just happen in the middle east, it happens everywhere. We have seen ISIS countless times in France, South American countries, even the U.S. ISIS wants to take government positions to justify these killings even more. They want these positions to spread this mass chaos, and to stronger their reasons.
Terrorism does not have a religion, and islam is not a religion that teaches terrorism. Even though the themes that were shown in the crucible took place many years ago, some are still relevant in today 's
BANG! BANG! BANG! Gunshots echo out a terrifying noise heard by far too many Americans in the growing epidemic of mass shootings. When people think of terrorism, some of the worst events in history come to mind, such as September 11th, or the sarin attack on the subways of Tokyo.
Islam cannot be blamed for a mindset that people of other cultures and religions have. Furthermore, extremism mindsets and ideals have existed before Islam was created and perhaps since the beginning of humans. One of the worst events in human history, the Holocaust, was caused by extremist Nazis, who were not Islamic. While religion can be a catalyst for extremism, extremism is a “deep and enduring pathology in the human spirit”(Beres 3). This means that every person has a spark of extremism in their veins.
What happens in a terrorist attack affects many people in the world. The aftermath of an attack is what has the largest impact on people’s lives. However, terrorism does not have the same effect on everyone. The threat is not taken as seriously by some people. Some might think that it is an empty threat, but others might think it is a serious threat.
