Session CT31: Placing Terrorist Group Muslim Brotherhood on the State Department Terrorist List
February 20, 9:00 - 9:45
Islamic Terrorism and The West: Conflicting Mentalities and Missed Warnings
Abstract:

   The threat posed to the West by Islamic terrorism did not end with the fall of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
   This presentation explains why the West is a target. It focuses on the mentality and agenda of Islamic terrorism, contrasting it with the nature of government counterterrorism operations, and analyzes the difficulty the West has had in understanding and accepting this threat. It will also focus on how Islamic terrorists and their supporters have been able to organize, fundraise, recruit, and plan on U.S. soil.
