Other countries consider capitalist governments to be 'evil'; that they consider a society built on the pure want of material possessions to be something that is morally 'evil'. There is also the fact that this more or less stem from jealousy stemming from individuals in a deprived country. This has to do with the grass is greener on the other side effect, instead of attempting to improve the area in current control; it's an external problem which must be defeated. However, on the same note the United States, sad as it may be, will accept any threat of war on a whim, considering war in general is highly profitable and will affect the countries over all GPD and GPD for capita.

Because the U.S. Navy SEALS killed Osama bin Laden

Please let me also update your question. After 11 years of continuous terror, it is no more a secret that well trained and organized armed groups of terrorists (from countries in all around the world) may target, anytime necessary, any people living in peace in any nation or country. I meant by people the ordinary ones in all sides though the American people were the first target. But terror can also target the chosen scapegoats among the men on power (likely outside America). Anyway, I guess you know now those who were and still are the real and sole beneficiaries from spreading the fears of terrorism and from every serious cruel terrorist crime against civilians (starting from the 9/11 massacre). If you don't, then let us accept the first answer here above which is already approved and proven officially.

Answer 1

People think you are supposed to kill. but thats what islam says. in islam it is a sin to kill.

Answer 2

The mission of a number of Islamic Terrorist groups is to bring about the Fall of the West and the Islamicization (both cultural and religious) of Western Nations. Islamic terrorist organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy. Some "moderate" non-associated clerics have defended these activities claiming that the civilians represent part of the group that "is opposed to Islam".

As for the reason that they desire to bring about the Fall of the West, Islamic Terrorists have asserted that American troops in the Middle East, the US Support of the State of Israel, the US Support of the Independence of East Timor, the US failure to force all of its citizens to convert to Islam, and several other actions were sufficient to prove United States oppression by military means. (Whether this is sufficient evidence or not is controversial, but those Islamic Terrorists seem to hold that it is.) Therefore, in their view, any Muslim had the right to fight the United States military or occupying force, according to their reading of Q: 2:191-193.

Terrorists don't necessarily want to attack the U.S. They are just people who want to promote a say in their perspective by causing havoc. If you are referring to the Middle East era, then the case is that terrorits are currently attacking all over the world in order to promote to the world that their region should be left independent and the Taliban, a terrorist organization wants to put an end to anything American, because Americans have invaded their land.

Why do terrorists target the US?

What might have been the target for the 4th plane flight 93 in the American terrorist attacks?

The hijackers of United Airlines Flight 93 had turned the plane around and were heading towards Washington, D.C. The United States Capitol Building and the White House are widely believed to have been possible intended targets. The 9/11 Commission Report cited the actions of the crew and passengers that prevented the destruction of the White House or the U.S. Capitol Building. According to an interview with captured Al-Qaeda mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed as published in The New York Times on September 9, 2002, the target of Flight 93 was indeed the U.S. Capitol. Early speculation also mentioned Camp David, near the town of Thurmont in Frederick County, Maryland, as a possible intended target.


Should Affirmative Action be eliminated?

Affirmative action, otherwise known as "reverse-discrimination", is a policy that effectively discriminates against certain groups for the benefit of other groups. The intent of such a policy is to "even the playing field." The actual result, however, is that less qualified individuals unfairly gain access to employment, education, groups, etc at the expense of more qualified individuals. But this does not even begin to address the true underpinnings of discrimination. The result of affirmative action, or discrimination, is that those in the "target" groups that affirmative action is supposed to help might obtain credentials that are then questioned (fairly or unfairly) but others who wonder if their success was a product of talent and hard-work or of government-sponsorsored discrimination - ie affirmative action. So, the result is that affirmative action actually LEADS to stereotyping, the underpinning of discrimination. Affirmative Action should absolutely be eliminated. Fairness is not unilateral - the only way to address problems of discrimination is by even-ing the playing field for all. Education and free markets are the solution.

What major event happened on September 11 2001 in the United States?

On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists, hijacked 4 commercial jetliners and turned them toward targets chosen for destruction. Two of the planes, loaded with fuel and passengers, were flown at full speed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in the financial district of New York City. The buildings burst into flame and then collapsed, killing thousands. A third terrorist crew crashed their plane into the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. military in Arlington, Virginia.The hijackers of the fourth airliner apparently intended to hit another target in the Washington, DC area, but passengers on the plane realized what was happening and fought back. This airplane crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania.The 19 men who carried out the hijackings came from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other Arab states. They were affiliated with the al-Qaeda network, a radical Islamic group led by Saudi exile Osama bin Laden and dedicated to waging a holy war against the United States. The targets they chose to destroy perfectly symbolized U.S. financial, political, and military power.Years in the making, the attacks in New York and Washington constituted the first major foreign assault on the continental United States since 1814, when the British army invaded Washington, DC, and burned the White House. More people were killed on U.S. soil on September 11, 2001 than on any day since the American Civil War. The attack killed nearly 3,000 people, and unified the American public as never before. Nations all across the globe sent their sincere condolences and vowed to stop the flow of terrorism.on September 11, 2001 a plane was hijacked by a enemies from anther country and crashed the plane full of innocent passengers into the twin towers. taking hundreds of life from people on the plane, in the buildings, and on the ground

What is the largest terrorist group in Iraq?

Currently, as of 2015, Islamic State is the most powerful terrorist group in Iraq with at least 20,000 members, but it was not always this way. Before Islamic State's surprising victories in 2014, this question would be much harder to answer with "largest" and "terrorist" being nebulous words. If the word "largest" is meant to mean most ubiquitous, then the answer is certainly Al Qaeda since the American Invasion. Al Qaeda operates like a McDonald's, franchising cells across any country in which it exists. In addition, smaller jihadist organizations will reach out to Al Qaeda for funding and the name recognition. In return, Al Qaeda will claim that this smaller independent jihadist organization is part of its ranks, even though their objectives may be different than those of the Al Qaeda leadership. If the word "largest" is meant to mean the largest internal membership, then the answer is a lot murkier. There are numerous violent groups that operate within the Sunni Triangle (Baghdad-Falluja-Tikrit) and numerous Shia organizations which operate throughout lower Mesopotamia. Accurate accounts of organizational membership almost never exist because the cell structure is loose. In addition, most individuals so affiliated only know the names of those fellow group members that they are very close to so as to limit the efficacy of post-capture interrogation. If the word "terrorist" only refers to the international organizations certified terrorist organizations by the United States and/or Europe, many of the violent groups in Iraq are necessarily excised because these violent groups are regional and would better be classified as "gangs with machine-guns". Violent groups, such as the one that controls Sadr City (a district of Baghdad), are responsible for many more deaths in Iraq than the certified terrorist organizations. What is also important to note is that many of these violent groups target Iraqis who are either neutral to United States interests or opposed to United States interests as these groups are jostling for power in the new Iraqi structure. The "terrorists" are far from a monolith.
