The Globalisation of Middle Eastern Terrorism

Abstract

Contemporary global terrorism has its roots to Middle East, especially starting from 1960s. The Israel-Palestinian issue has geared up the wave of modern terrorism and then following the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan has garnished the terror atmosphere since 1980s, giving birth to al-Qaeda. With that, affiliates, and franchised organizations of al-Qaeda mushroomed in all corners of the world making it a global network. Therefore, al-Qaeda made a landmark in modern terrorism which is motivated by religious extremism. Having said that, this paper portrays how terrorism in the Middle East has its ramifications all around world making it globalized by collecting data from qualitative methods such as interviews, statements, books, journal articles, websites etc.
