He justified his methods as necessary in the transformation of the monarchy to a liberal democracy. He sentiment laid the foundations for modern terrorists, who believe violence will usher in a better system. But the characterization of terrorism as a state action faded, while the idea of terrorism as an attack against an existing political order became more prominent.]]> 2018-03-02 12:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rodriguezsport1310/4q8eaamxds2a/wish/237364443 rodriguezsport1310 https://padlet.com/rodriguezsport1310/4q8eaamxds2a/wish/237364859 The rise of guerrilla tactics by non-state actors in the last half of the twentieth century was due to several factors. Terrorist groups with a nationalist agenda have formed in every part of the world. For example, the Irish Republican Army grew from the quest by Irish Catholics to form an independent republic, rather than being part of Great Britain.]]> 2018-03-02 12:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rodriguezsport1310/4q8eaamxds2a/wish/237364859 rodriguezsport1310 https://padlet.com/rodriguezsport1310/4q8eaamxds2a/wish/237365023 International terrorism became a prominent issue in the late 1960s, when hijacking became a favored tactic. In 1968, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine hijacked an an El Al Flight. Twenty years later, the bombing of a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, shocked the world. The bloody events at the 1972 Munich Olympics were politically motivated. Black September ,a Palestinian group, kidnapped and killed Israeli athletes preparing to compete. Black September's political goal was negotiating the release of Palestinian prisoners. They used spectacular tactics to bring international attention to their national cause.]]> 2018-03-02 12:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rodriguezsport1310/4q8eaamxds2a/wish/237365023 rodriguezsport1310 https://padlet.com/rodriguezsport1310/4q8eaamxds2a/wish/237365516 Religiously motivated terrorism is considered the most alarming terrorist threat today. Groups that justify their violence on Islamic grounds- Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah—come to mind first. But Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and other religions have given rise to their own forms of militant extremism. The architect of the 9/11 attacks, and "the Egyptian hijacker who was driving the first plane, was a near alcoholic and was drinking vodka before he boarded the aircraft." Alcohol would be strictly off limits for a highly observant Muslim. Atta, and perhaps many others, are not simply orthodox believers turned violent, but rather violent extremists who manipulate religious concepts for their own purposes.]]> 2018-03-02 12:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rodriguezsport1310/4q8eaamxds2a/wish/237365516
