TERRORISM AND
POLITICAL VIOLENCE
JIM BUTTERFIELD
FALL 2019
"If we destroy human rights and rule of law in the response to terrorism, they have won."
— Joichi Ito
"With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism."
— Malala Yousafzai
"Terrorism has no nationality or religion."
— Vladimir Putin
"Many of the benefits from keeping terrorism fear levels high are obvious. Private corporations suck up massive amounts of Homeland Security cash as long as that fear persists, while government officials in the National Security and Surveillance State can claim unlimited powers and operate with unlimited secrecy and no accountability."
— Glenn Greenwald
