Describe global jihad aimed at the american homeland

1. The Obama Administration has attempted to limit the scope of counterterrorism from a “global war on terrorism” to a more targeted effort that does not conflate terrorism everywhere with global jihad aimed at the American homeland. The central issue is “local terrorism” with local objectives requiring local solutions versus organizations supporting global jihad against the West. How might “down sizing” the war on terrorism promote or challenge American interests?

2. If you were writing a strategy to counter Islamic terrorism (radical extremism), what would you consider its most important element? Include references to the 2011 NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR COUNTERTERRORISM, and the 2013 White House Fact Sheet on the use of force in counterterrorism. Review the lecture slide, “Roots of Hostility: The al Qaeda Narrative”.
