It’s no secret that we don’t live in a perfect world. We each want to see the world in our own utopia, but this is something that’s hard to achieve. Over the years, leaders have tried to battle international issues that pose a threat or may do in the near future. There are many issues that decision-makers are trying to fix like education, poverty, global warming and so on, but the one issue that I believe decision makers confront today is the rise of extremist groups around the world. It has been a problem for a long time and the efforts made to decrease or put an end to it have been made, but they’re still going and today they’ve become a much bigger international issue, because they’re becoming more powerful and more threat than they’ve ever been. In addition, the safety and well-being of the people are in danger and more countries have been targeted . …show more content…

In the second part, I will be providing you with ways in which international leaders could cope with this issue in order to maintain international stability in the near future. What are extremist groups? They are a group of people who interpret values, ideas, and beliefs different from what society considers being normal. They usually use violence as a tactic to prove their point. In addition, they see their acts as ‘freedom fighting’ for what they see as the right approach, but society considers their actions to be acts of terrorism. Today, the most notable example of an extremist group is ISIS, whom has been launching attacks in Europe, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, and U.S and along with nineteen other countries. Other examples of extremist groups are Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, and Haqqani

    The main people targeted for hatred and violence are Jewish people, Hispanics, Asians, blacks and people who are Catholic Christians. The more well-known groups are the Ku Klux Klan, the Neo-Nazis, and the Skinheads. The reason why the Ku Klux Klan is separate from the Neo-Nazis and the Skinheads is because the Ku Klux Klan's hatred and violence is aimed more towards blacks rather than the Neo- Nazis and the Skinheads, whose hatred is aimed more towards the Jewish people. The Neo-Nazis, sometimes called White Aryan Resistance, is a group that follows under Adolph Hitler's philosophies, which targets Jewish people.

  • Essay On The Crucible Theme Of Extremism

    814 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Arthur Miller’s classic play The Crucible, the true events of Salem, Massachusetts in the late seventeenth century are written down with marginal changes to the original story. The witch hunt and witch trials that occurred during this time reflect many of Miller’s personal beliefs on certain themes. One such theme was extremism. Due to Miller’s own personal witch trial where he was unfairly tried and jailed as a communist during the Red Scare, his perspective on extremism is a valuable insight into the historical examples such as the Holocaust or other genocides, and what is happening in modern day with extreme religious groups willing to terrorize other nations. Throughout his play, Arthur Miller argues through certain events and characters that extremism is caused by unaddressed

    1148 Words  | 3 Pages

    Right now, there are many active hate groups in the United States such as the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazi, Skinheads, Christian identity, Black Separatists, etc. These hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, which is one of America’s oldest and more feared, use violence and move above the law to promote their different causes. Another example is a group called Christian Identity, who describes a religion that is fundamentally racist and anti-Semitic; and other are the Black Separatist groups, who are organizations whose ideologies include tenets of racially based hatred. Because of the information gathered by the Intelligence Project from hate groups’ publications, citizen’s reports, law enforcement agencies, field sources and news reports, many people know about these hate groups. Many people know how these groups act and think and most of the American people agree that these hate groups are immoral and should not be allowed to exist neither in the United States nor on the rest of the world.

An even more contested concept is whether to broaden the scope of terrorism to include non-state and state actors.

  • Essay On Does Religion Cause War

    1772 Words  | 4 Pages

    Extremism manifests itself dangerously in the Islam religion (Palmer, Monte, and Princess Palmer, 37). The Muslim religion has some laws and believes that no one should question their design, origin or application. Good people should punish immoral people in Islam religion without showing mercy to them. In Islam, human beings have no right to offer forgiveness to others that can easily lead to and create peace to oneself in the society. The unforgiving nature makes human rights groups in many ways try to change and support governments that try to overthrow Muslim extremist governments. Such an approach creates a war never ending between the Muslim governments and other governments that fight the extremist ideals. In East Africa, Somalia presents a case example by observing how the Government is not able to control the ever fighting and dreadful Al-Shabaab. The “Al-Shabaab” is an Arab name for Muslim youth who over the years try to use enforce extremist rulers in governing the country and hence controlling the resources. Muslim fighters and rebels arm themselves with arsenals they use to fight groups that oppose them by killing and torturing them. The al-Shabaab launches attacks that kill people and openly claim responsibility for the losses and the deaths they cause. They also punish members who commit sin using the retrogressive laws of the Quran on the people they label sinners. Other extremist

  • Homegrown Radicalists: The Process Of Radicalization

    209 Words  | 1 Pages

    I enjoyed reading your post. Although the theories that were covered this week attempt to explain us the process of radicalization, in my opinion, I think that each case will be different because the combination of factors will be different in each case. Many homegrown terrorists are radicalized due to jihad or misleading interpretation of Islam, while other homegrown terrorists are not religious at all and have other motives. However, the main factors that are usually found in most cases is crisis and deprivation. When someone is going through a crisis or deprivation, that is the most vulnerable moment in which a person is at risk of becoming radicalized. I think it is very hard for law enforcement to prevent someone from becoming radicalized

    Terrorist groups are created when a person disagrees with the laws, or to target a specific group of people, and to gain financial stability or just to kill. These groups claim to be standing up for their own beliefs and the beliefs of their country. Some terrorists even try to overthrow their government. A terrorist acts upon a cause of belief in resolving their disagreements by taking matters into their own hands. They will impose the most unbearable harm upon others to gain attention and to get the results they want. For instance, the ISIS group is a terrorist group that has been around for many years, causing injury and death to many people. Their primary purpose is to destabilize the Syrian

  • Is Religious Fundamentalism Always Totalitarian and Prone to Violence?

    1863 Words  | 4 Pages

    To be a fundamentalist is to wholly believe in the doctrine they are preaching or professing and will go to any lengths possible to have these beliefs implemented by their government, (even using force or violence) (Garner, Ferdinand and Lawson, 2007, p. 149). All religions have a fundamentalist element, however, there is more of a significant conflict between Islamic fundamentalists and Christian fundamentalists. It is wrongly thought fundamentalism is exclusively linked to Islamic fundamentalists such as the jihadi group al-Qaeda. Nonetheless, Christianity is the world's largest religion and is bound to have some fundamentalist component such as the Christian New Right in the United States of America (Garner, Ferdinand and Lawson, 2007, p. 150)....
