This group recruits individuals and push their propaganda with the help of social media (Engel, 2015). With the help of the internet, more information is made available to the world and more and more individuals are able to be recruited. “ISIS not only touts its violent acts against “non-believers,” but also the lifestyle the group claims to offer its members” (Engel, 2015).

might be detrimental in other parts of the world, the lifestyles that everyone live have a great influence on how we perceive the world around us.

We have to be educated on different cultures, societies and religions, even if we do not agree with what is being said. By being more open minded and listening to others we could prevent terrorist attacks. Taking the time to listen and explain ones point of view can you a long way. Another way that we are easing our minds about the threat of terrorism is the sense of protection.

In this article the author studies the beginnings, believes and principal arguments of Religious terrorism and questions them based on analytical assessment traditions. It evaluates the legitimacy of the concept and its effects for research and policy practices. It argues that the distinctions typically drawn between nonspiritual and religious terrorism are problematic, both theoretically and empirically, and that in its usual assumptions, the term is misleading about the intentions, foundations and behavior of groups classified as ‘religious terrorist’. In particular, it shows that the diversity of those labelled “religious terrorists” is so mixed, and often so indistinguishable from their ‘nonspiritual’ equals, that the term has little meaning without further limitation, while simultaneously darkening key characteristics of both ‘religious’ and ‘nonspiritual’ violence. It then goes on to illustrate how the term, rooted in a particular historically situated understanding of religion and a particular set of power structures, serves as a disciplinary device to domesticate ‘political religion’, delegitimizing certain actors while legitimizing a number of highly contentious counterterrorist practices designed to deal with those described as ‘religious terrorists’.
