CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the differences between the reasons to commit terrorism in Spain,
Europe and USA is that in Spain, the most dangerous terrorist group was ETA, a
basque separatist group that killed approximately 853 people, in Europe it is ethnonationalists
and separatists, and in the USA it is white suprematists.
Regarding the similarities between the studied regions, the reasons to commit
terrorism in three different places, is that both in Spain, Europe and USA there are
problems with jihadist and religiously inspired terrorism. In Spain, the most
dangerous terrorist attack was performed by Al-Qaeda in response to the invasion of
Iraq, which killed 193 people and injured about 2,000. In Europe, jihadists and
religiously inspired people were the most arrested and in the USA was also attacked
by Al-Qaeda, which caused 2,996 deaths and more than 6,000 people injured.
There are different reactions to experiencing terrorism, and it depends on the person
and how they deal with it. A lot of terrorists recruit children for different reasons like
using them as suicide bombers, having them as spies, the main reasons is that
children are more vulnerable to propaganda and brain-washing, as well as they are
cheaper to maintain. They use lots of different ways to recruit children in their
terrorist groups such as forcible recruitment, where they physically force children into
joining their groups, economic enticement, where they promise to give them food,
accommodation and protection in exchange for loyalty, propaganda, etc.
So the government needs to address the issue of terrorism as it can cause great
loss, fear and suffering for the people directly hurt or killed by it and their families. As
well as the participants of the terrorist groups, especially children who are victims of
manipulation.
