متن يادداشت

The War on Terror has become inextricability linked with Islam. The Bush and Obama administrations have fought a mostly military-centric campaign against radical Islamist groups across the world that the U.S. State Department labels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. However, according to Dr. Mark Juergensmeyer in his award-winning book, Terror in the Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious Violence, religion alone does not ordinarily lead to violence. When religion becomes fused with political, social, and ideological circumstances, violence can manifest due to social aspirations, personal pride, and movements for political change. Therefore, the War on Terror is highly complex with multiple, intersecting variables contributing to the increased intractability over time. These violent groups are best labeled as politically motivated insurgencies using terrorist tactics. Terrorism is used to elicit a psychological response and destabilize a population, while an insurgency is the organized use of subversion and violence to seize, nullify, or challenge political control of a region. The U.S. continues to label these groups as terrorist organizations, leading to an overdependence on the use of airstrikes to confront these violent groups. Remotely operated (drones) and manned (bombers) weapon systems have come to drive policy against religiously motivated terrorist organizations as the U.S. population and the Obama administration become increasingly reticent to deploy combat troops. However, without the security of combat troops, there is a minimal and ineffective presence of the other organs of the U.S. government to address the political, social, and ideological underpinnings that fuel these violent groups.
