The paper begins with developing the historical difference between the old and new forms of terrorism, emphasizing that the old, mostly left-wing terrorism was circumscribed in its violence because it was political. The new violence is right-wing and millennial, which lifts the restrictions on the violence. Then the changing form of Al-Qaeda is discussed, especially after the American attacks following 9/11, and its dispersal. That in turns leads into an analysis of the significance of the internet, including its psychological meanings, in fostering the organization, recruitment, and aspirations of jihadis everywhere. The importance of the American war in Iraq is noted as a training ground for future terrorists.
