CJA426: Assignment 3: Terrorist Motivation
Terrorism exists for various reasons. For some individuals, the issue of terrorism is rooted in a
clash of ideology. Others contend that terrorism is a “clash of civilizations.” (Fiala, 2007, p.
165).
With the fight against terrorism launched in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Middle East, many in
the Muslim world feel that America is evil and that its ways are misguided. In fact, some say
that you need look no further than the Abu Ghraib scandal, where administrativ e evil was
displayed (Adams, Balfour, & Reed, 2006, p. 680).
In addition, experts would argue that many terrorist attacks are not conducted by crazy people,
but rather by intelligent and religiously motivated individuals who could be seen as martyrs
(Guss, Tuason, & Teixeira, 2007, p. 417).
