Terrorism

The term terrorism is synonymous with how we view the middle east. To us the south western portion of Asia is soo far away, so distant, and exotic. We conjure up images of men on camels armed with ak-47s trumping through the sand dunes looking for americans to kill. This simple view point is not only ignorant but extroidinarily simplistic. Terrorism in the Middle East is in fact Extremely (haha get it.. extreme.) complex and layered. The reasons they exsist are deeply rooted in Islamic culture and the result of thousands of years of wars and instablilty. However since the attacks of september the 11th terrorism has been pushed to the forefront of world affairs. It has even percipated to our small town here in Plymouth, NH. How do you view terrorism, and who does it? Where do you think they are primarily from? How has it affected you personally?
