Abstract
The world has become a more dangerous place to live in the past fifteen years or so. According to Mark Juergensmeyer's book, terror in the mind of god; the Global Rise of Religious Violence, this can be attributed to religious terrorists, or activists depending on one's perspective, reacting increasingly harshly to a world that's increasingly chaotic. Whether that's true or whether it has more to do with the worldly desires of the perpetrators is something that neither he nor I can decide or explain very well.
However, there's no denying that terrorist acts have picked up in the years since the Cold War. According to the RAND-St. Andrews Chronology of International Terrorism, the number of religiously-motivated terrorist acts has increased since the end of the 1990's as compared to attacks of other kinds. With the fall of the Berlin wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, communism was abandoned worldwide in favor of capitalism.
