The Organization and Infrastructure of Terrorist Groups
Content: Such organizations pose a great threat to the security of the world order because they hold extremely uncompromising views of what must take place. Groups that fight for religious principles tend to be the most dangerous and the least compromising of all. This is true because they believe that their cause is also God’s cause. Religiously motivated groups include the Army of God in the United States, the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS), Al-Qaeda, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Of these various groups, Islamists have thus far tended to be the most violent. In addition to religious motivations, people may become terrorists for political reasons. Sometimes, nation states support terrorism against an enemy state, or political factions grow angry enough to terrorize one another. ‹ The International Threat up Why do People Join or Support Terrorist Groups? ›
