Week 6 Class Discussion
Many people consider terrorism,
something that is perpetrated by foreigners against United States interests and
citizens. However, terrorism can also be domestic involving homegrown threats
to society.

Baton Gellman, The Secret World of Extreme Militias, September 30, 2010,
TIME,
Southern Poverty Law Center, The Second Wave: Return of the Militias,
August 2009
Council on Foreign Relations, Domestic Intelligence and the Boston
Bombings, April 2013
Please
respond to all of the following prompts:
Why is it so difficult to prevent domestic
terrorist attacks? Do you think domestic terrorism poses as much of a threat as
international terrorism?
Do you think that terrorists, who are born
and raised in the United States like Timothy McVeigh, pose a greater threat to
our country than international terrorists?
