Discuss the various types of terrorism and the passage of the USAPA

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Revolutionary terrorists use violence to frighten those in power and their supporters to replace the existing government with a regime that holds acceptable political or religious views. Political terrorists are directed at political or groups who oppose the terrorists' political ideology or whom the terrorists define as "outsiders" who must be destroyed or convinced to leave the country. Nationalist terrorism promotes the interests of a minority ethnic or religious group that believes it has been persecuted under majority or colonial rules and wants to carve out its own independent homeland. Retributive terrorism use violence as a method of influence to get people to accept their social, religious, or political views. State-sponsored terrorism involves the use of force by a repressive government regime that forces its citizens into obedience, oppresses minorities, and stifles political dissent. The USAPA was passed in 2001 to grant new powers to domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies in an effort to fight terrorism.
