Terrorism is deeper rooted in history around the world. Based on what you have learned from Chapter 6 of our reading material this week, provide an assessment of three historical cases of terrorism. Be sure to provide the timeframe in history of each of the historical cases that you assess.
Three cases chose:
- Christian Crusades
- The Order of Assassins
- Modern Arab Nationalism and the Rise of Islamist Extremism
Task 1: Create a new discussion post and reply with your answers to the Week 3 Critical Thinking Exercise questions. Your response to the exercise questions should be a minimum of 5 sentences.
Because this is a critical thinking exercise, it is important that you do your best to evaluate and assess the discussion without bias or judgment. You are expected to properly cite in APA format, but do not use direct quotations.
