1. Throughout the history of modern terrorism, government officials,
counterterrorism professionals,
Throughout the history of modern terrorism, government officials, counterterrorism
professionals, and academic scholars have sought to understand the root motives and
ideological causes, mechanisms, and processes related to terrorism. Unfortunately, many of
their theories were not rooted in fact and are essentially untested assumptions. The
problem is that some of these assumptions, biases, and mindsets have become the basis of
American counterterrorism policy. If they are false, then our counterterrorism policy is
flawed and will more than likely fail. In this module’s discussion, you will examine some of
these assumptions and biases to understand if they are supported by facts or flawed ideas
that should be challenged. Choose one of the assumptions below. Take a stance on whether
the assumption is true or false, and build a case supporting your stance. Make sure to
incorporate scholarly facts and resources.Terrorism is caused by povertyTerrorists are
