How ISIS is has used newer technology to spread their organizations hatred through the world.
Many of you probably remember the 2015 attacks in San Bernardino that Killed 14 and wounded 24 or the Paris Attack last November that killed a devastating 130 people and injured at least 368 others. The attackers had many Extremist Islamic ties and somehow slipped under the radar unnoticed. These are just two examples of attacks in the last few years of ISIS recruited terrorist. Controversies and issues I want to discuss are number one how they are even allowed t post stuff on social media because they are trying to create harm to people and we need to monitor social media sites 24/7 to insure no threats are made or people are trying to incite violence. I personally believe this topic is very important to research for many reasons. One of those reasons is that there has been an increased number of attacks by isis all over the world and I want to find out how the internet has aided in that. They are also using it to get people to join them and I want to know if they target certain groups other then muslims and how the internet could have helped them.
How ISIS is has used newer technology to spread their organizations hatred through the world. My Tentative Thesis statement is that since technology has gotten better and more efficient the Terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda and ISIS have changed their way of recruiting people from strictly videos to post on all sorts of social media sites.
I am very interested in this topic because it is a widely occurring topic in todays society. It seem like overtime we turn around ISIS is in the news for some sort of terrorist act and I want to find out more. I have chosen to pursue this topic because I am very interested in trying to find out more about ISIS and why they and how they recruit sleeper cells and militants. I know a decent amount about ISIS themselves but don’t quite now exactly about how they go about recruiting people. I want to find out how, why and where isis recruits its militants.
