between modern terrorism and ancient history. In many ways the terrorism as we are experiencing it today is distinctly different than even the most abhorrent chapters of world history.
In other ways there are certain similarities. Mankind has, of course, always had the tendency to form into widely divergent groups and these groups often fought between themselves.
Ancient Romes clash with the barbarians is one example that some have called terrorism and there are many more. The intent of this paper, however, is to demonstrate
that while modern terrorism (as it is represented by radical Islam) may have limited parallels with other periods in history where there was group conflict, it is in reality very
distinct from previous chapters of history. The reasons that groups have typically fought throughout history varies but one of the most
common reasons was one group trying to take what the other had. Often this involved land and other natural resources. Often it involved wealth. Other reasons for
group warfare revolved around differences in religious beliefs and cultural mores. As will be demonstrated below, while radical Islam easily fits into this latter category it does not fit
