I. Introduction
A. Has the post 9/11 “war on terror” been successful?
The most important factor that was undertaken by the US is to eradicate the source of
terrorism after the war of 9/11. However, it worsened the situation. Terrorism has grown rapidly
in the later years (Abrahms, 2012). More proficiently, terrorism made their hit on the cultural
diversities not regarding the effects of the different contradictory forces that raged their part of
the war against terrorism.
B. Steps of eradicating terrorism was useless
The war on the terrorism has affected the growth of the same and thereby the costs
incurred by US in eradicating terrorism were useless in this connection. The most important
steps that are being undertaken by the US is based on the criteria of the putting an end to the
violent practices and the inhuman treatments (Hiro, 2014). The terrorists planned 9/11 in order
to cause damage to several thousand innocents resulting to the collateral damage, which the US
government desired to stop. However, the steps that are being taken by the US were ineffective
as terrorism grew even to a great extent after the war.
II. Immigration policy
A. Immigration enforcement and devolution after 9/11
The enforcement of the acts have helped the US in monitoring over the immigrants and
their actions. The USSC (United States Supreme Court) has undertaken steps in order to make
use of the issues that are being faced by the nation in order to make use of the issues faced by the

5WAR ON TERROR AFTER 9/11
nation relating to the control (Nacos, 2016). A department was formulated in order to make use
of the ‘Department of Homeland Security’ in order to monitor over the immigrants.
B. Airport procedure after the attack
The regulations that were undertaken by the US governments with the enforcement of the
USA PATRIOT Act, the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act has helped in
monitoring over the immigrants (Coleman, 2009). The acts has helped in regulating the entry of
the immigrants through the checks on the visa and the passports. It has helped in determining the
purpose of the visits.
C. Border agencies law enforcement
The enforcements have helped in making the systematic progress in the enforcements and
the border agencies after the attack. Any sort of infiltration was condemned in order to make user
of the resources. The enforcements in the border security was undertaken to discourage
infiltration of the terrorists into the nation. The authorized federal officers might imprison non-
citizens on grounds of the immigration and they need not undertake any legal reviews before
attempting the same (Hassanein, 2017).
III. Opinion of non-Muslim about Islam
A. ISIS established
The establishment of the ISIS and the lateral growth of the organization since the 1999
has affected the sense of security. The movement was undertaken with the motive of sustenance
and growth of terrorism in the regions in order to fulfill their purposes of the jihad. The purposes
had created a great impact on the mindsets of the non-Muslims on Islam. The thought that Islam
is a violent religion, which is corrupted by the messages of the messengers is being considered

6WAR ON TERROR AFTER 9/11
by the non-Muslims (Fuller, 2015). The most important standpoint where the discussion is being
undertaken is based on the proficiency of the Muslims in their individual misconduct and count
their multitudes as sacrifices for the purpose of the crusade, the jihad. The misinterpretation of
the Quran and its teachings has created serious impact on their cultural outlook. The Muslims are
being counted as the followers of the most violent religious practices prevailing in the world. Its
views on violence and bloodshed have been creating impacts on the minds of the people.
Therefore, the setup of the ISIS has seriously affected the mentality of the people (Moubayed,
2015).
B. London attack
The London attack is an important outburst of the Muslim sentiments of liberalism,
which affected the mindset of the people globally. The important perspectives that are being
undertaken by the non-Muslims are through judging the violent mentality of the people in this
religion. The London attack that was being undertaken by the terrorists have resulted to the
growing perceptions of Islam being a violent religion in the world.
IV. The identity of Islam for the public is highly influenced.
A. Muslim entry ban
The attacks and the threats have considerably changed the outlook of the people. The
outlook of the people towards the religion has changed considerably based on the actions
undertaken by the terrorists and their beliefs. The Muslims have misinterpreted the teachings of
their holy book in order to serve their own purpose of raging wars against the innocents. The
only motive, according to the Muslims, is based on the sustenance of their religion by destroying
the others (Richardson, 2013). It is a religious biasness that the terrorists are into considers that

7WAR ON TERROR AFTER 9/11
they were fighting for sustaining their religion in the world. On the other hand, the steps that
aware undertaken by the governments has helped in keeping the terrorists away from the nation.
The governments enforced the immigration and the border security act, which restricted the entry
of the Muslims in the region. However the steps that aware taken b the governments has created
a serious impact on the lives of the innocent Muslims.
B. Muslim discrimination
The discrimination that was being undertaken by the people is based on the activities
undertaken by the other members of the religion in terrorizing the nation’s integrity. The
problems that were being faced by the innocent Muslims were huge as they were discriminated
and they were made to keep away from the society and their culture. Not all Muslims are
terrorists, but because of the actions of their fellow inmates, the innocent Muslims had to suffer-
blamed for being Muslims (Coleman, 2009).
V. The rise of ISIS
A. ISIS and the sectarian conflict in the Middle East
The al Qaeda, which was situated in Iraq, aimed at raging a war against the majority of
the Shia community of the religion. The sectarian war has resulted to the strikes that killed many
people along with the leader who led the group of terrorists. Al-Masri takes the place of the
leader and afterwards created the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) in the year 2006. Later, the ISI was
absorbed by a al-Qaeda backed military group in Syria to make their progress and expansion.
The absorption with the military group has given rise to the ISIS (Moubayed, 2015).

B. Qatar military action
The military action of Qatar is based on the importance of the actions that are being
undertaken in order to support Turkey in their war against the Russians. This alliance will fetch
them their personal benefits. Qatar's official religion is Wahhabi Islam. Through the proper
functioning and manipulation of the private and state funds, Qatar aimed at supporting the
Taliban of Afghanistan and the other terrorists from Syria and Libya (Bahgat & Medina, 2013).
They also supported the Muslim Brotherhood across the region. The steps undertaken by them
were based on the objectives of raging the crusade in order to save their religion in the regions.
VI. ISIS movement in Syria
A. Ideological foundations for the caliphate
The caliphate is the state, which the ISIS aims at establishing. It is a concept of the
traditional Muslim psychology of undertaking the change in the systems of the society. The
caliphate that the ISIS aims at formulating is based on the administration of the states by a caliph
or an Islamic steward who will look after the affairs of the Muslims in the region. The foundation
of the caliphate is based on the ideologies of the extremist’s biasness (Richardson, 2013)
B. Root of jihad
The roots of Jihad can be understood as the importance of the functions undertaken by
the Muslims in order to retain the faith away from the influences of the Western world. They are
based on the faith that is being undertaken by the people in order to sustain their faith on the
religion (Fuller, 2015). The people often misinterpret the Jihad, which implies “the struggle”,
and they take it as their struggle to prove their biasness in the matters of the world. They mean to
destroy all systems that go beyond their limits of understanding (Bahgat & Medina, 2013).

VII. Conclusion
The effects of the war have seriously impacted the growth of the terrorists. From the
above analysis, the war stimulated the activities undertaken by the terrorists to a great extent.
The anarchy that is being created by the people for their distorted mental setup has given rise to
issues in the social structure.
