organizations, and states has

– Manipulating young teenagers by saying that their suicidal acts are serving for jihad and will lead them to heaven to have a great paradise
– Brainwashing the uneducated people in extreme poverty by providing them provisions and money
• Displaced population: High numbers of refugees who are in an extremely desperate situation of eating or living
• Development of technology
• Limitless amount of funding on their terrorist actions
• Easier traveling from continent to continent
• Nation’s governmental performance factor (nations with higher risk of corruptions, weaker rules of law, and lower level of national security –> allows extreme Islamic groups to accumulate wealth and expand the train young brainwashed teenagers)
• America’s aggressive foreign policy on Middle East countries and the reaction of the affected Islamists.
