International Terrorists, Homegrown Lone Wolf Terrorists, and Extreme Groups in the US

It really appears that t

his last decade was the decade of fear. But it was a different kind of fear, it wasn't the fear of nuclear annihilation of the human race, and we did start out on a good note realizing that Y2K was nothing more than blasterdash and poppycock - that's a good thing. Still, on 9-11-2001 we began to realize some of the challenges surrounding international terrorism, that we did need to be con

cerned with terrorist acts on our own soil, and why we must be hyper-vigilant in the future.

Interestingly enough, it appears that the international terr

orists are somewhat on the run, although it appears now they've taken over Somalia and Yemen and infiltrated into Nigeria, Kenya, and many other nations. Unfortunately, our borders are not exactly as tight as they should be either and we know them to be somewhat porous, and there may be international terrorists amongst us today. The Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the Obama Administration have also warned us that we need to be on the lookout for homegrown lone wolf terrorists, that is to say US citizens turning rouge, hostile, and dangerous.

And of course there's always been the extreme groups here the United States, and they are quite numerous, and do have a large number of very angry people in them with agendas that we may never fully understand, but they seem pretty adamant about, and are willing to risk their lives, or even die for their cause within our borders. That's a scary thought if you are raising a family, and you enjoy living in the greatest nation ever created in the history of mankind where we have peace and prosperity.

There is a very good book on this topic that I'd like you to read, this is a book that I do personally own, and as the coordinator for a think tank which operates online, I find myself very often recommending this book to others. If this subject and topic interests you, and you'd like to learn more, the name of the book is;

"Extreme Groups in America," by Susan S Lang, Franklin Watts Publishers, New York, NY, 1990, 174 pages.

This book is well illustrated, which helps give you an idea of just exactly what our authorities and agencies are dealing with. The book goes into issues of racism, religious fanatics and cults, neo-Nazi groups, eco-terrorists, and Islamic radical terrorists - and what it takes to fight extremism on our own soil. It also explains how these groups indoctrinate and recruit new members. It's quite an eye-opener.

Perhaps it's time you got an education in this subject matter since it's been in the media far too often, and because you need to understand what our authorities are doing, when they go too far, and what we all need to do to help stop some of these groups from causing terrorist acts here at home. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
