Because, terrorism hinges on the success of globalization, and in fact we could even say “global terrorism was conceived as a facet of the global culture resulting from globalization” (Khan, …show more content…
Also, we can never win against a nation that utilizes globalization, and has a continuous supply of people that they will use to sacrifice their lives just to kill us all under the discasise of religious beliefs.

    Summary Of Nathan Hatch's The Democratization Of American Christianity

    The connection between religion and everyday life in the early United States has, at times, been a contentious field of study. Questions about how various churches and faiths developed in conjunction with the revolution, governmental authority, and enlightenment ideology have been examined from multiple angles.
