ABSTRACT
Just as terrorism as an action is not “new” today, but has certainly changed in significant ways, the motivation for carrying out acts of terror, while fundamentally similar in many ways to that which existed in the past, has also changed. Men and women still claim that their “right” to commit
acts of extreme violence derives from the “wrongs” done to them by an unjust system. What has changed about the “causes” for which acts of terrorism are committed are the perceived initial injustices, the “justified response.”
