The war on terrorism is at its height and there are vivid indications that every stone will be used to stop it. A central assumption is that terrorism is a religious war, ostensibly between Christians and Muslims. This is just a moral statement that terrorists use to attract more people to their side, as well as create solidarity among Muslims. As a result, the imagery and reality of terrorism differ overwhelmingly. There are various terrorist events around the world that are similar and can be classified as terrorism. Otherwise, terrorism was a means of carrying out a conflict without the antagonist realizing the nature of the threat, confusing terrorism with criminal activity. Terrorism should be a global concern because it is rapidly spreading across the world, sparking terror. It has been facilitated by the use of religion as a justification for terrorist activities, proliferation of homegrown terrorist groups, and political instability between and within various nations of the world. Despite the apparent proliferation of terrorism around the world, some people might argue that it should not be a global concern. It is important to realize that terrorism has not affected every nation in the world. Therefore, some may argue that this does not warrant global concern. Don Van Natta, Jr. New York Times columnist and author of Name 2 in the article “A World Made More Dangerous as Terrorism Spreads” carefully examines the activity in the world written in his article and identifies the countries involved. Natta Jr discovers that there is terrorist activity on every continent but only a few specific countries are involved (Natta Jr 340). Thus, terrorist involvement represents only a small percentage of the c... half of the paper... which includes these root causes of the problem as the first step towards ending the war. Then, uniting the whole world under one course for peace, love and unity will be the greatest war against terrorism. In the works cited Crusious, Timothy W. and Carolyn E. Channel.
