| I agree with what you had to say Miller. Terror is so broad that it can be used by any type of illegal act that incorporates fear amongst its victims.

Come up with a solution?
If there were solutions don't you think they would be implemented by now or is the government keeping that a secret like, where Jimmy Hoffa's body is?

It is interesting to know that you like others have found the various definitions of the word terrorism to be a starting point for your response on it (terrorism). It is my personal belief that the various definitions are somewhat problematic and distance our progress from limiting it. All terrorism includes the element of violence. The use of violence is not always justified but, the use of violence is not always unjustified. The justification of violence for purposes of achieving particular goals contributes to the various definitions of it. For example, the difference between liberator and a mass-murder. Terrorism will never be eliminated because violence will continue to be used as a means of achieving ideological goals and the true effects of violence will continue to hide behind differing definitions.

| I think since 9/11, terriorsim has really opened the eyes of everyone in America because it shows people what extent terriorist are willing to go through to get their point across. When people are willing to take their own lives or get other people to take their lives to get a statement across and along their way killing as many people as possible, that is what is really scary.

| I believe terrorism is act of terror that is perform by an organization or person who have strong political views and religious beliefs. They implement fear in order to express their believes, but by doing such acts they attack or kill Innocent people. When an organization attacks there are considered to be terrorists. Terrorist have no boundaries.

| Isn't that amazing how gang members are not classified as Terrorists. They both have murdered innocent people through acts of violence. They continuously affect the lives of families that have lost love ones in violence. Terrorists have killed many people versus Gang members who kill randomly, I guess that would be one of the difference between them. Both gangs and terrorists have continued to expand.

I would have never of thought about gang members and terrorists like that...good one!!
Another difference between gangs and terrorists is the locality of each. One is coming from overseas and the other is happening in our city.

| My course relates to terrorism in the enforcement level because terrorist must enforce the fear people have them by commiting terrorist acts against others. They have their own system on how to do things and whom is going to do this things. I think that terrorism is wrong and only creates conflict among people. Terrorism doesn't solve any problems, it only creates new ones.

I agree with you, terrorism is any kind of event that will make you fear. I believe that any person or group that people fear for one reason or other can be called a terrorist because I don't think that terrorism has to have a political issue.

| When looking at terrorism one must understand what terrorism is. These men and women use fear to influence the lives of other people. They don't care about diversity they just want everyone to believe in what they feel is right. Not to be confused with criminal street gangs, terrorists have political goals where street gangs have monetary goals. Terrorism is tough to protect against, these people are willing and wanting to die for their cause and that makes a tough adversary.

| The screening at the airport has eased up a little, but it had to. They were going way to far with there screenings of people. I was at an airport 2 years ago flying home from Denver and they had a 80 year old woman with a walker being searched. That is a bit extreme, and now you can't even take water on to the plane anymore. While the security is important there is a point where it is unnecessary and I feel that we are still at the point.

| The various causes that terrorism has is has different as the countries they originate in. The amount of financing these groups receive are incredible. They way that some of these groups are using the Internet and obtaining funds from around the world, not all legally, is outrageous. These groups realize that with the Internet and all the IT around the world, they have resources to fund their causes for a long time.

| Reference vcornejounion post on gang members and terrorist. I agree, having seen first hand what these gang members are doing on the streets, it is amazing that there is not more attention being focused on them. Even the name of the act used to enhance time served has "terrorism" in it. The S.T.E.P (California Street Terrorism Enforcement and Prevention) act has assisted in keeping these gang members locked up as long as possible, but the killings and terrorism will continue.

It this thread discuss with each other, what you have learned about how your specific course relates to terrorism. You might discuss the definition, causation, types, history or even the technology being used. At a minimum, you should create one original post and respond to one post.
Terrorism is a crime to send out a message! The wheel of terrorism was very interesting. Its intentions are usually to send out a political message....Which happend on 9-11.

Terrorism is defined as "unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons." Terrorist act is happening all around the world such as the 9/11 and The Pentagon, and it needs to be stopped. Many innocent lives are being taken away because of the terrorist acts.
I believe the "Patriot Act" is a useful source to prevent further terrorism acts. Although some might disagree, but i think it creates a safer boundary this way.

I agree with you, it is true horror when one sacrifices their life to kill tons of life in-order to get their points across. We need to put a stop in to this terrorist thing.

Terroism is all about power and putting fear into people. That is what i learned in my class cj315, and the different types and what it includes. Terrorism is moivated by politics, social, and religious means, and also the victimes are civilans. The main purpose is to create fear.

At a minimum, terrorism has become an inconvenience for some, while it has become a primary focus for many others. I work in downtown L.A. and terrorism has been a focal point for my agency the last five years. I can tell you personnally that the feds are also very serious about protecting our cities.
This is serious business, our enemies are not trying to overtake us by matching military stength with us they are trying to scare us to death. So far they have done a pretty good job at it. After 9/11 many people were scared, and churches had some new people in attendance and the American flag was waved about freely in cars and buildings across the land. But we soon forget and try to live our lives the same. Right now we are at Threat Condition Yellow and I do not see it moving down from that level in my lifetime. Terrorists have an agenda, they have a goal, it is not random, it is very calculated and planned. Becuse terrorists do not have to play by the rules they have the criminal advantage. We have a committed president at this time, but I believe soon we will have a different type of president that will not put the unpopular effort of taking a truly proactive approach against terrorists. Terrorists will take advantage of our weaknesses, let's take the effort to prevent terrorism but at the same time we also must be prepared for the worst.

Vcornejounion:
You made a very good point (as many of us have recognized). The little gangbangers are terrorists. They don't have the strength that comes from legitmate power, so they go around with trademark names, like a terrorist organization, and they instill fear in many people, so that they can no longer enjoy their surrounding environment. And, oh yes, along the way they kill people to advance a warped way of life at the expense of innocent and some not so innocent lives. Instead of the military fighting these gang terrorists it the local PD, who like the U.S., often gets derrided by the very same people who they are risking everything to protect.
