What are the Factors responsible for the growth of terrorism?
Growth of the terrorism is not affected by single factor, but it is the chain of factors which are responsible for the terrorism. To take look of some see following list
- Poverty is the big reason behind terrorism.
- Lack of education.
Are public libraries a likely terrorist target?
No. Libraries are not a high priority target because large numbers of people do not gather in libraries nor do libraries have important economic value.
In South Africa their religious leaders preach against joining ISIS in their Mosques; warning them of the dangers involved in joining.
Who are Boko Haram and what is their mission?
Boko Haram is the Hasua name for The Congregation of the People of Tradition for Proselytism and Jihad. It is a group and militant organization based in the northeast of Nigeria, north Cameroon and Niger.
Founded by Mohammed Yusuf in 2002, the organization seeks to establish a "pure" Islamic state ruled by sharia, putting a stop to what it deems Westernization. The group is known for attacking Christians, Muslims and government targets, bombing churches, mosques, schools and police stations, and kidnapping western tourists, but has also assassinated members of the Islamic establishment who have condemned their operations over the years. Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2002 and 2013.
The group exerts influence in the northeastern Nigerian states of Borno, Adamawa, Kaduna, Bauchi, Yobe and Kano. In this region, a state of emergency has been declared. The group does not have a clear structure or evident chain of command. It is reportedly divided into three factions with a splinter group known as Ansaru. The group's main leader is Abubakar Shekau. Its weapons expert, second-in-command and arms manufacturer was Momodu Bama.
When are terrorists going to go to hell?
Answer 1
There is difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter. The one creates terror but the other fights for freedom. Almighty God will decide who will be sent to hell-the oppressor or freedom fighter. Be bold and don't be afraid of make-believe terrorists. Nothing is going to happen to you.
Answer 2
Since nobody has actually given us a report from within Hell or Heaven, we can only guess where a violent mass-murderer would go based on the Holy Scriptures we have. There does seem to be a general agreement that killing innocents will merit going to Hell, but there is no absolute assurance. Additionally, in order to go to Hell, a terrorist would have to die first. While some are suicide bombers and do that hard work themselves, the remainder have to actually be found by soldiers or policemen and then have to die (either from being killed or by rotting away in prison) before they can go to the Divine sorting process.
How has violence been used for good in the past?
Yes,because solidrs will hang enemy's because of crimes.
What might terrorists incorporate radioactive material into explosives to create?
This would create a so-called 'dirty' bomb or, to use its official term, a radiological explosive device.
How vulnerable is the United States for another terrorist attack?

WASHINGTON -- The US power grid is susceptible to terrorists and could take weeks or even months to repair if attacked, a study warns.
The findings come shortly after mega storm Sandy hit New York City and the New Jersey coast late last month, causing widespread devastation and outages.
"The US electric power delivery system is vulnerable to terrorist attacks that could cause much more damage to the system than natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy, blacking out large regions of the country for weeks or months and costing many billions of dollars," said the report by the National Research Council released Wednesday.
Many parts of the high-voltage system are heavily stressed, leaving it particularly at risk to multiple failures in the wake of an attack. In addition, important pieces of equipment are decades old.
Many key facilities are unguarded and high-voltage transformers are of particular concern because they are vulnerable both from within and from outside substations, the study says.
The transformers, very large in size, are also difficult to replace because most are no longer made in the United States and the delivery time for new ones could run from months to years.
As a solution, the report suggests developing, manufacturing and stockpiling "a family of universal recovery transformers" for temporary use that would be easier to move to where they're needed and "could drastically reduce delays in restoring disabled electric power systems."
The network is also vulnerable to cyber-attacks, the report warned.
"Cyber-attacks are unlikely to cause extended outages, but if well-coordinated they could magnify the damage of a physical attack," it said. "For example, a cascading outage would be aggravated if operators did not get the information to learn that it had started, or if protective devices were disabled."
The National Research Council finished the report in the fall of 2007 and it was then classified by the US Department of Homeland Security.
But the key findings of the report remain "highly relevant," said the report's foreword.
What is the theme of A terrorist is watching by wislawa zymborska?
i think the thme of this poem is that life is too frigale , time is prediscribed ,and if destiny decide any thing then it never change .
What do you think has been the greatest impact of terrorism on American life?
Stronger security checks on airplanes.
As an example of how this works, the 9/11 attack and its aftermath are ideal. After the event, some elements of law enforcement and -- mostly -- the G.W. Bush administration advanced the opinion that due process as defined under the 4th Amendment and various civil rights acts were too cumbersome for law enforcement to deal with and still apprehend suspects before their escape.
Under protest, the PATRIOT Act was passed. PATRIOT allowed for a huge reduction in individual rights, predominantly in the areas of privacy and due process in favor of "increased national security". The idea is one that's been long-touted in the security community: that security multiplied by civil rights equals a constant. And the fact is that, if we disallow all civil rights, criminal apprehension rates would likely increase. However, so would false arrests and, perhaps more importantly, general freedoms.
As an example, the Dept. of Homeland Security states that the PATRIOT Act advent of warrantless line tapping has resulted in the interdiction of many terrorist plots. However, the DHS will not elaborate on the number of incidents nor the nature of the interdictions -- not even to Senate inquiries. So the proof of this statement is not demonstrable.
In summary, I'd say the reasons the balance between security and freedoms is an issue are twofold: opponents feel that reduction of freedoms is the goal of the attack and far too high a price to pay, even for prevention of further action, and that proof that reduction in freedoms has in fact increased our security is in question.
Sabotage has nothing to do with any religious denomination. Islam included.
It is the deliberate wrecking of infrastructure.
Yes and no. Many terrorists have been killed. The US capability to attack terrorists has been increased vastly. The US is less vulnerable to many different types of attacks. Terrorists have been forced to think of different tactics to attack. Different countries have been forced to stop supporting terrorists in their own national interest. Osama Bin Laden is dead.
However, the war has created a new generation of people who hate America, and has vastly diminished US' diplomatic standing in the world. The ability of the US to gather ground information from friendly informants has been compromised. Many countries have been playing both sides, stating an intent to do harm to terrorists, but basically taking military and financial aid from the Western world with no real intent to fight terrorism.
Are Labradors used as bomb sniffer dogs by bomb squads?
In my opinion the best type of dog used for specialty squads like bomb squads and so on, are called Springer Spaniels.
BTW: Through my opinion and research over the internet, i have not seen any results of labradors being used for specialty groups/squads in anyway, it is just they are not as good as Springer Spaniels as they are good at searching for items and finding things out.
Thank you for posting this question, i have answered it the best i could, with my own opinion and internet/research time.
Does HR 1388 let Hamas into the US?
Absolutely not.
The above is a reference not to a law, but a letter authorizing the disbursement of funds already generally allocated for such emergency relief for refugees. It's been related to H.R. 1388 (H.B. or HB 1388 in many instances) through a chain email rumor that's been thoroughly debunked.
Please see the Related Links below to read the content of the actual bill or the sites fact-checking and debuking it.
The very definition of the word explains what it is and why it exists:Terrorism is the use of threat or violence mainly as a means of forcing others to do what one wishes. Another way to look at it is 'political bullying'.
It is an extremely useful military-type maneuver and it's effect always gets the attention of the opponent.
Terrorism and terrorist are words used by a sitting government to describe those that strongly disagree with them and use tactics that, in many cases, are the only ones open to them. It does not have to include violence but often does.
It should also be remembered that terrorists become freedom fighters when they win.
There are many examples of terrorist who became freedom fighters, perhaps the best known today is Nelson Mandela and the ANC.

Why did Hezbollah not assist the Palestinians during the Gazan War of 2008?
Answer 1
Hezbollah are based in Lebanon, although in reality they are from Iran and are of Iranian nationality. They live and work in Lebanon. Hezbollah is a milita and despite what most people believe, Hezbollah does not have absolute power over governments. That is, even Hezbollah and other militas can only do what the governments will allow them to do.The current Gaza crisis now in January 2009 is very similar to the Lebanon invasion of 2006. And it has been reported that other governments have not done anything to stop the Israeli bombing of Gaza. Hamas is also not helping the people in Gaza either. Also Gaza cannot be reached easily by other countries, as to get there one has to go Israel, and this is difficult. As Israel does not allow a lot of people into the country, people with Syrian or Lebanese passports and with passports from most other countries Arab and others who are not at peace with Israel or have not signed a peace treaty. Egypt and Jordan have, but even citizens of those countries cannot get into Israel. Egypt has closed its borders with Israel and Israel won't let anybody in or out now. Hezbollah and other militas cannot get into Israel anymore than anybody else can. They and other militas have been forbidden by the Lebanese government from intervening in any way.The Iranian government, who originally created Hezbollah, fears that if Hezbollah or other militas get involved in any way with the currant crisis, Israel will invade Lebanon again or even invade Iran or other Arab countries. As mentioned Hezbollah cannot go against the government,and also the country, Israel and Gaza is closed to outsiders.There for entry into or out of by the militas is impossible. Other governments want to help, but Israel is closed even to other governments. The Israelis have killed and arrested innocent people trying to help aid workers and reporters. So Gaza is out of reach for everybody and people in Gaza are trapped there, as they cannot get out.
Answer 2
There are a few reasons why Hezbollah has not assisted the Palestinians during the Gazan War of 2008.
Lack of Access: Hezbollah has no naval craft and could not have made an amphibious landing in Gaza or Egypt to begin an offensive in Gaza against Israel.
Avoiding an Invasion of Lebanon: Hezbollah is aware from the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War that Israel is more than willing to hunt them down if they violate the UN Ceasefire Zone along the Israeli-Lebanese border to attack from Lebanon. Hezbollah may have packaged the war as a victory against Israel, but it was not interested in losing militants for no real benefit.
Dead Body Propaganda: Hezbollah at its core is not interested in the Palestinians, but the eradication of Israel. Nothing makes Israel look worse than numerous civilian casualties in Palestine. As a result, they also choose to intentionally do nothing to prolong the fighting and increase the number of Palestinian deaths to humiliate Israel.
Iranian Prohibition: Iran is more than happy to maintain the current Iranian-Israeli Proxy Wars, but Hezbollah's direct involvement in the Gazan War could spark a rise from mere proxy wars to actual war. Iran wishes to avoid conflict until a time when it could assure victory and has ordered Hezbollah to stand down.
Notes on Answer 1
There are a few assertions that Answer 1 makes that are false:
- Hezbollah is under the yoke of the Lebanese government: This has been proven to not be the case. When Hezbollah did not win the Lebanese elections later in 2009, they launched a military attack on the capital until parts of their vision were realized for Lebanon. While Hezbollah may take Lebanese laws into account, it is not bound by them.
- Gaza can only be reached by Israel: While this is the current political reality, it is not the geographic reality. Egypt maintains a border crossing at Rafah. However, Egypt, both under Mubarak and later under Morsi has kept the border closed. Egyptians are just as afraid of the Gaza Hamastan as the Israelis. However, there are numerous smuggling tunnels between Egypt and Gaza, so Hezbollah militants could get into Gaza if they really wanted to go.
- Israel's borders were closed: Israel's borders with all of its neighbors (Jordan and Egypt) remained open throughout the conflict. There may have been increased border procedures since the country was at war. The only borders that were under strict scrutiny were those with the Gaza Strip. Getting into and out of Israel was not a problem. Hezbollah would have a problem entering Israel since Lebanese, Syrian, and Iranian citizens cannot enter Israel (as their countries reject its legitimacy).

What is the least likely terrorist target?
The North Pacific, hundreds of miles from any piece of land, is probably the least likely target for terrorists considering that there are no people, no important military positions, no witnesses, no recording devices, and no interest. Terrorists feed off of the fear and carnage generated in order to propagate their message.
