Terrorism

The September 11 attacks began at 8:46 AM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The attacks continued with the crash of United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower at 9:03 AM, followed by the Pentagon attack at 9:37 AM. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 AM, and the North Tower fell at 10:28 AM, marking the end of the coordinated attacks.

The Boston bombers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, were of Chechen ethnicity. They were born in Kyrgyzstan to ethnic Chechen parents who had emigrated from Chechnya. The Tsarnaev brothers' background played a significant role in the media coverage and discussions surrounding their motives during and after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

Hamas employs various methods of attack, including rocket and missile strikes targeting Israeli cities and military installations. They also conduct cross-border incursions and infiltrations, utilizing tunnels to launch surprise assaults. Additionally, Hamas engages in guerrilla warfare tactics, including ambushes and the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Propaganda and cyber warfare are also part of their strategy to influence public perception and disrupt communication.

Well, darling, terrorism is all about using violence and fear to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It's like a bad breakup - messy, destructive, and leaves everyone feeling scared and vulnerable. In a nutshell, it's a cowardly way for a few to try and control the many.

The 1995 release of sarin gas in a Tokyo subway was an example of a domestic terrorist attack carried out by the religious cult Aum Shinrikyo. The attack resulted in the deaths of 13 people and injured many more.

A biological agent like anthrax, tularemia, or Legionella pneumophila could be used in a terrorist attack to cause pneumonia-like symptoms. These agents can be dispersed as aerosols, leading to respiratory infections and potentially widespread outbreaks. Early detection, rapid response, and appropriate treatment are crucial in mitigating the impact of such an attack.

Bacillus anthracis spores are easily produced in mass quantities in a lab. They are tiny, easily spread, can be passed from plant to animal to human, and cause easily be fatal to an unvaccinated population. The application of the spores is undetectable without special testing, and can survive for very long periods of time even in harsh conditions. The most notorious means of using anthrax as a bioterrorism weapon was contamination of cattle feed cakes in 1944 and the American scare of spores being mailed to individuals in the media and Senate.

Interesting question! As far as I can discover, the answer isn't obvious at all. Let me explain: Interviews and intelligence of terrorist organizations ranging from the IRA to Al-quaida, Baader-Meinhoff, and others show some remarkable, unexpected similarities. They typically do not have a cohesive, well-understood political doctrine or goal. And even when there is a political manifesto of sorts in place, the actions of the group typically don't facilitate this: * They're own people often don't know or understand their own manifesto. * They rarely conduct dialogues with the regime they're trying to modify, so the means of compromise or even capitualtion is closed off. * They frequently attack other organizations that share their goals. * They often do not effectively claim credit for actions, thus making said action a completely moot point * They often change doctrine and direction with no particular or apparent reason. * When their demands are met, for whatever reason, this does not cause the group to stand down. This applies equally to so-called religious terrorists; they quite often don't understand the religion their group esposes, nor do they seem to want to learn. An example:(see link) A number of the 9/11 Al Quaida group first intended to fight in Chechnya. When they couldn't get the paperwork together to enter Chechnya, they decided to attack America instead. There was no discernable direction in a political or religious sense at all. So what is it then? Actually, most terrorist groups of the late 20th and early 21st centuries seem to follow very closely the dynamic we observe in modern day street gangs. That is to say, an amazingly strong need or desire for community and culture. Here are some examples: * Frequently, families will all join the same group, even if that group doesn't match that family's focus or interest. The same applies to village members and friends. * These families (for lack of a better word) will frequently change groups, sometimes to terrorist organizations with a sharply divergent manifesto. * They use symbology akin to gang sign. * Status is critically important within the group. A lot of this is true of the Crips, Bloods and Latin Kings, where solidarity of family, group, and neighborhood is a far more prevalent motivator than political or theological doctrine.

It's difficult to give an exact average time as it varies greatly from person to person. However, it's normal and healthy to experience emotions such as sadness and it's important to allow yourself to express them when needed. If you find that you are crying excessively or feeling overwhelmed, it may be helpful to seek support from a mental health professional.

It is difficult to know the percentage of terrorists as Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, ..., or followers of any other religion. Terrorists are from followers of all religions and of all faiths although all religions and all faiths prohibit terrorism and prohibit terrifying civilians.

Hezbollah is an organization and therefore has a membership, not a population.

It does not provide its own information on its size, but several estimates are worth considering. Mustafa Alani, security director at the Dubai-based Gulf Research Centre, estimated that Hezbollah's armed wing comprises 1,000 full-time Hezbollah members, along with a further 6,000-10,000 volunteers. According to Israel's Jerusalem Post, Hezbollah has 41,000 fighters and according to the Iranian Fars News Agency, Hezbollah has up to 65,000 fighters.

Young people can show a responsible attitude towards population growth by advocating for and practicing family planning, educating themselves and others about the importance of sustainable population growth, and supporting policies and initiatives that promote access to reproductive health services. They can also engage in environmental conservation efforts to mitigate the impact of population growth on the environment.

No – it is merely a generally effective way to get people to do what you want. People who are terrified give in to demands easily, and as such terrorism has been around for a long, long time. But that doesn't mean it is inevitable.

I am an eclectic Wiccan, which means I follow Wicca yet I do not adhere to every principle or idea strictly; I follow what I believe in and only what I believe in. This means I practice and believe in things related to many other cultures and religions, but mostly incorporate the practices of Wicca.

I believe in the duality of God as male and female.

I believe God manifests in nature and created all nature - meaning that God is within every living thing.

That is the core of my beliefs.

As for what I do, I celebrate eight Sabbats a year, which celebrate the changing of the seasons because they show Gods behaviour on earth and provide us with food and warmth ect.

I also practice witchcraft which involves appealing to Gods will to provide healing for another person, amongst other kind things.

And I pray and meditate with the divine, like any other faith.
