Terrorism and America’s Foreign Policy PHL 205 Contemporary Moral Issues Jeffrey Borrowdale

Why Islamic Terrorism?  Not just how individuals become radicalized  Historical, sociological, anthropological question, not merely psychological  Must focus on terrorist movements, groups, organizations

Why Understanding Islamic Extremism is Important  If you don’t know your enemy, you can’t properly defend against them  911 Report: “They were at war with us, but we weren’t at war with them.”  Iraq Occupation  Major Hasan  FBI’s weak response to Russian warnings  Benghazi

Historical Background  Rapid expansion of the Umma (Muslim community) or Caliphate (territory under Muhammad’s successor) Arabian peninsula  1st Three Crusades by Christian West - Islamic defeat then victory under Saladin ( )  Expansion of Ottoman Empire ( )  Siege of Vienna fails

Historical Background  Barbary pirates (16th - 19th Century)  Raids on European and later American ships  1 million+ slaves taken  New U.S. Navy and Marines helped defeat (“from the shores of Tripoli...)  Europe pulls ahead in wealth and technology under modernity, classical liberalism  Middle East flounders under theocracy, ban on usary fails to embrace “Christian” ideas, ban on usury

Historical Background  Ottoman empire carved up by allies after WWI, secular revolution in Turkey  Post WWI Middle East flounders under Arab socialism, military dictatorships (except Israel)  Late 30s: Oil provides wealth, modernizes, consolidates power of despots

Terrorist Groups  Muslim Brotherhood (1928, Sunni - local MB groups in some countries may be publicly condemn violence)  PLO (1965, adopted Islamic ideology after pan-Arab beginnings)  Islamic Jihad (1982, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen)  Hezbollah (1982, Shia, Lebanon)  Hamas (1987, Sunni, Palestine)

Terrorist Groups  1988 Al-Quaeda (“The Base,” Sunni)  Founded by Osama Bin Laden  Loosely affiliated movement  Responsible for Embassy attacks in Nairobi and Tanzania, 9/11 London 7/7 train bombings)  Note: Islamic law forbids harming non- combatants (esp. women and children)
