US Foreign Policy In The Middle East And Rise Of Islamic Terrorism

Introduction

It has become a serious debatable issue to view about the rise of terrorism in the Middle East because of Unite States foreign policies. There are many critics upon United States policies that are focused merely on the Middle East. Many reasons are indicated by different scholars about the causes of Islamic terrorism in all over the world.

Cochrane, P. (2004) has strong consideration that the major cause of Middle East Islamic terrorism is primarily based on politics. He, along with other analysts, believes that the aim of US intervention in Middle East is because of the purpose of acquiring the land.
