Introduction The United States has many enemies, both foreign and domestic. While everyone realizes that the threat of terrorism is a real and imminent threat, many do not recognize this threat from any area other than the Middle East. For this reason, it is important to focus all over the world, and address each threat on an individual basis, especially whenever that threat is only a few hundred miles away from American soil. This threat, is the Colombian based organization known as the…

In the USA Muslims are all seen as terrorist for more than 15 years.This is because Donald Trump has prohibited Muslims out for their religion. Trump sparked an uproar after a few of his speeches to ban Muslims.The ban is unlikely to happen although people in the crowd cheered. The issue of the ban also wasn't only Muslims including Hispanic and Mexicans because he believes they will bring drugs into America. The truth is Muslims may be a surprise to America. Statistics are not as accurate but…

Literature on Defining Terrorism and the Inherent Threats Due to the increased popularity of defining terrorism and the sensitive ideals of inherent threats, each year there are endless amounts of literature composed. Therefore, terrorism is becoming a vastly studied topic in American history. These vast amounts of literature, help shine a light on what is happening today in the world. However, only a few articles actually focus on the source that may even be abetting the terrorists. The main…

Eric Rudolph was the primary suspect in the Birmingham Summit’s Womens Clinic bombing. He used a remote control device at the clinic, which he planted in the clinic and planted, and then parked his car at McDonald’s. Then came back and planted a second device and went on a hill to wait (Burke, 2008, p. 129). Letter bombs are built to resemble almost anything that a terrorist may want it to resemble. Here are a few ways you may identify a mail bomb, for example, inspect for lumps, bulges, or…

There have been devastating effects of the terrorism meted out by ISIS including loss of life, displacement of populations, civil war, joblessness, and instability of governments. It has carried out mass murders by bombing populations, shooting dead of civilians, kidnap, and murder and other ways of killing people. There has been a shift of the way ISIS and other terror groups kill people they consider enemies. Earlier on, they used to kill mostly by bombing tall buildings, hotels and blowing up…

As is the case with any organization, terrorist organizations need to adapt in several ways in order to transcend time and remain relevant across generations. Any number or characteristics could be affected in support of this, however, the two most important are an ability to adapt the terrorist message to suit the target generation and the ability to display the characteristics of a learning organization (i.e. learning from the success and failures of others). With the “life expectancy of at…

Prior to the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001, I had no meaning of the word “terrorist.” It wasn’t until my college years when I began to truly understand what motivates a group of people to partake in such actions. After viewing the interesting video, A Legacy of Violence: 100 Years of Terror (Setton, Mudd, & Carroll, 2000), I discovered one aspect that could drive people to engage in these violent behaviors. Though I don’t agree with terrorism, I now understand…

Hello Everyone, I hope everyone had a good first week. I apologize for the delay on my initial post. This week we are discussing the concept of homeland security in relation to homeland defense and national security. The term homeland security and the concept of national security has been prevalent in the United States since the terrorist attacks along the East coast on September 11th, 2001. After these attacks the United States had to take a look at itself and reassess its policy over the…

The interoperability of different databases and the software used for data mining raises further issues. Interoperability allows analysis of multiple databases simultaneously and ensures the compatibility of various agencies’ data mining activities (Isles 2012, 292).This becomes problematic when matching and aggregating data across multiple record sets can create negative inferences about the individual drawn from otherwise innocent data (Solove 2011, 27). Examples of this can be seen in Edward…

The United States of America looks like an ideal home for freedom and individuality. Citizens are free and able to make their own decisions and choose their own paths without the interference of a more powerful body like the government. While it appears that one can do as one pleases, the government has different opinions in mind and enforcing them. After 9/11, the United States Congress passed the Patriot Act in an endeavor to detect signs of terrorism before it can strike American soil.…
