Abstract
This paper examines how terrorism is a problem that has plagued the world for thousands of years. It looks at how, having come full circle from its earliest beginnings of the Jewish Zealots to today's Islamic fundamentalists, religion continues to play an important role in driving terrorism. It also shows how even though the availability of weapons has evolved over time, terrorism continues to have the same driving goal, to bring attention to a particular cause.
From the Paper
"Another, more famous, early group were the Assassins. They were an 11th Century offshoot of a Shia Muslim sect known as the Ismailis. Like the last groups we discussed, the Assassins preferred stabbing their victims in broad daylight. Generally speaking, their victims were politicians or clerics who refused to adopt the purified version of Islam the Assassins were spreading. Often these acts were carried out at religious sites and on holy days, to publicize their message. Like many religious inspired terrorist today, they viewed their deaths during such operations as sacrificial that guaranteed them paradise in the afterlife."

Abstract
This paper explains that the unprecedented impact of 9/11 on the consciousness of America and the international community is a new kind of globalized fear surrounding security, which is the product of shared cultural, political and technological factors characterizing the globalized world against another distinct culture, which aims to destroy rather than build or maintain life. The author points out the interrelationship of countries by relating that Arafat's Palestinian Authority documents unmistakably showed that the PA received money from Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq, which then was given to terrorist commanders for acts of terrorism against Israelis. The paper relates that the FBI categorizes international terrorism in the U.S. into three categories: (1) Activities of foreign sponsors, such as Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Cuba and North Korea, which used terrorism as an operational tool of foreign policy in the past; (2) formalized terrorist groups, such as the Lebanese Hezbollah, Al-Gama'a Al-Islamiyya of Egypt and the HAMAS of Palestine and (3) loosely affiliated international radical extremists who do not represent a particular country, such as those behind the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 in New York City.
From the Paper
"Developments in the international scene have enabled mass-casualty terrorism. Perceived and gross inequalities in economic resources and standards of living among nations in the world have motivated international terrorism and determined the level of ferocity and viciousness of attacks. Poverty was often blamed as the main cause of domestic terrorism, although there appears no "comprehensive correlation between" poverty and terrorism. But it is different in the international scenario. Free-market globalization gave the Islamic world access to Western values and institutions and this offers explanation for the growth of international terrorism, which is the weaker party's occasion to hit back."

Terrorism and Counter Terrorism, 2004.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the way counter terrorism and terrorism have changed since 9/11 and the growing role of the U.S. It also looks at the development of 'modern' terrorism and the possible consequences of the continuing War on Terror. It debates whetherr or not September 11th, 2001 can be seen as a day that changed the face of terrorism. It also discusses how since the invasion of Afghanistan, terrorist attacks have become more numerous and high profile although their basic purpose remains the same, to gain attention. It puts forward the view that what has changed about terrorism since 9/11 is the amount of media attention it now controls.
From the Paper
"As well as presenting a recent point of reference for terrorist activity, the conflicts in Palestine and Northern Ireland also show two different ways of dealing with the problem, certain aspects of which have been adopted by the United States. In the case of Britain and Northern Ireland, the conflict is one of territory and security for those who want British rule. In Palestine and Israel however, the situation is based purely on territory. This difference in the foundation for the terrorist action seems to have dictated the way in which terrorism has been dealt with. Because of the presence of British citizens in Northern Ireland, and the small section of society that is involved in the unrest , it has been British policy in recent years to try and settle the situation through political sanctions and increased security measures to prevent terrorism."

World Trade Center and Combating Terrorism, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the attacks on September 11th took the American population by surprise and how they thought they were immune from domestic terror. It demonstrates many of the primary causes of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the resulting effects of such a broad-spectrum attack on the American people. It shows that the perceived false sense of safety and security exhibited by the American people resulted in a complacent attitude within the American government, which affected the effectiveness of the law enforcement agency to prevent the 9/11 attacks. It examines how law enforcement officials overlooked warning signs that may have prevented the attack on the World Trade Center.
From the Paper
"What were the causes of the 9/11 tragedies? The effects of the attacks are obvious; the American people find themselves? plunged into a war against a foe unseen. The U.S. government finds itself engaged in conflict unknown. No forewarning existed from our enemy, no warning from our multi-billion dollar defense systems, no prior intent of aggression. How are the American people to know of future impending attacks? What will prevent further terrorist activity and violence from our unforeseen enemy? One can only draw the conclusion that government complacency resulted in overlooking and dismissal of critical intelligence reports and information that might have prevented the World Trade Center attacks, and information that may prevent future attacks."

The paper explains that modern war involves the use of technological weapons of mass destruction and terrorist attacks. The paper discusses the danger of terrorism; terrorists can effectively wage their war while being protected in the very same country they are attacking, they are prepared to sacrifice their lives and will use almost any type of common consumer good to create dangerous devices. The paper stresses the importance of decisions and deception to be used to protect our security today.

Introduction and Topic Overview
Researched Materials: Three Generations of Warfare
The Fourth Generation of Warfare and Deception Tactics
Management Decisions in War
The Role of Terrorism in Modern War
Relation of Terrorism and Modern War to Current Events
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the five years that have passed since the deadly terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, the role of terrorism in modern war as emerged as a discomforting topic of concern for citizens, government officials and the military branches alike. As a result, modern warfare has been transformed from what was previously defined as "low intensity conflicts typically in the form of proxy wars fought within local regional confines (Wikipedia, 2006)," to an existential threat from terrorism and the possible use of weapons of mass destruction by terrorists. Terrorism has created a clear and present danger that terrorists will gain the capability to carry out catastrophic attacks on Europe and the United States using nuclear, biological or chemical weapons."

Summary
From the Paper
"The proliferation of terrorism in poor countries, and its effects on the U.S., is valid. For example, many of the Middle Eastern nations are extremely poor, and the motivation of the people is often religious as opposed to financial (sacred versus secular, if you will). In a twisted interpretation of ancient religions such as Islam, there are those who feel that they are not only doing the will of God by conducting acts of terror on "infidels" such as the citizens of the U.S.,but also that they will be providing for their families because of the huge financial rewards thatwealthy terrorist leaders, such as Osama Bin Laden, promise to the benefactors of a terrorist if or she gives their life to kill Americans, such as in the 9/11 attacks."

"Terror" in the Mind of God: A Study of Terrorism, 2005.

Abstract
Using Mark Juergensmeyer's book "Terror in the Mind of God" as a reference, this paper examines how religion sometimes influences its believers in such an extreme way that they turn to terrorism in the name of God. The paper examines the origins of terrorism, cultures of violence and the future of terrorism.
From the Paper
"Juergensmeyer's ideas discussed in the book go against what most criminological theories of crime causation tell us. Rational Choice theory, which is the theory used almost exclusively in today's criminal justice field, believes that criminals choose to commit crime by weighing the potential benefits versus the potential risks. (Siegal, 107). This assumption that offenders make a rational informed decision affects crime prevention strategies (Siegal, 129). The religious terrorist, however, is in a cosmic frame of mind where moral religious values override any sense of legal right or wrong."

Abstract
This paper argues that U.S. foreign policy within the last thirty years has had a significant influence in the rise of terrorism throughout the world. The writer cites U.S. involvement in domestic politics in many countries, military interventions, and pursing national interests in other countries regardless of the consequences of pursing those interests, as influential in enabling terrorist organizations. The paper claims that in order to stop the wave of terrorism throughout the world, the United States must stay clear from interfering with domestic political problems in many regions around the world and must stay away from pursuing military operations that are not in the national interests of United States.

U.S. Foreign Policy?s Influence with Terrorism

From the Paper
"As Ahid Aslam concentrated on the foreign policy priorities of the Bush Administration in his article, Robert Cutter from the institute for foreign policy in focus wrote an article titled ?The Anti-Terrorist Coalition: A New World Order Redux.? This article focuses on the possibility that the anti-terrorist coalition may incite terrorist groups to ruse up and take action against the coalition in order to break it up. The author concentrates on the possible negative effects of placing together an anti-terrorist coalition and having being lead by the United States. The author determines that as long as the United States continues to lead the anti-terrorist coalition, the coalition will only be serving U.S. interests on terrorism and not international interests. The author suggests that it should be the United Nations that should be leading the coalition and not the United States."

Abstract
This well-researched paper opens with a comprehensive and historic look into both the American and British law enforcement agencies. The writer of this paper traces the origins of the British Sheriff's office back to the Norman Conquest which took place in 1066. This paper delves into the significant increase of international terrorism while focusing on the effectiveness of various law enforcement agencies in America and around the world in combating this growing problem. This paper discusses the views and opinions of several historians regarding the increase and decrease of crime and terror from the medieval times and up to the present. The writer of this paper examines specific historic events and their resulting impact on global terrorism including the fall of the Soviet Union, the Cold War and the 9/11 terror attacks. This paper analyzes the manner in which the Bush Administration moved to establish additional intelligence and enforcement cooperation among the existing agencies in order to more effectively face terrorist threats such as al-Qaida. This paper contains detailed and in-depth historical facts and dates relevant to this particular topic. This paper also examines the manner in which recent advancements and progress in technology are assisting law enforcement agencies around the world to thwart off potential threats of terror.
From the Paper
"Various historians have offered various different reasons for the unexpected decrease in the crime rate during the comparatively modern times, and there were some who assumed that perhaps it was industrialization and urbanization and modernization that contributed to this phenomenon. There were some other scholars and researchers who theorized that in actuality crime had not diminished, but had in fact shifted form bodily assaults that were popular in those times, to crimes that were more or less closely related to property, which also indicated that the nature of crime had shifted from an innate scarcity and paucity, to a greater prosperity as well as a free availability of material goods and possessions during modern times. There is also another form of opinion, which states that the decrease in crime seemed to have happened irrespective of industrialization and urbanization."
