| TERRORISM'S FOCUS ON ECONOMIC NETWORKS |
| Stephen Gale, Ph.D. |
| Abstract: Over the past six years, Americans have come to believe that the objective of the attacks by Islamist groups such as al Qaeda is to kill Americans, to retaliate for the "damage" done by the West to the people of the Middle East and to Islam in general. What is really the case is that the Islamists have targeted not mass numbers of American deaths, but the "joints" of the US economy and society, to provide sufficient time to create a powerful, independent Islam free of Western influence. This talk will provide an analysis of the attacks on September 11, 2001 and use it as the basis to describe what we in the US and the West should anticipate with respect to future acts of terrorism. |
