predators of society terrorist Predators of Society Terrorist Understanding the making of a terrorist predator This full article will be to solve the terrorist dilemma from its roots and a possible answer to handle the terrorist predators we will have in the global society. #predatorsTerrorism Please bear with me this article is rather extensive. To approach the subject I had to tackle the topic from several aspects all comprising what a terrorist is. Then at the end of this article I'll leave you with a couple of questions that you might want to ask.

Psychological Profile of an Gang Member

Studies have noted the existence of a loose and dynamic gang structure. However, the psychological processes that underpin gang membership have only begun to be addressed. This study examined gang members, peripheral youth, and non-gang youth across measures of criminal activity, the importance they attach to status, their levels of moral disengagement, their perceptions of out-group threat, and their attitudes toward authority. Of the 798 high school students who participated in this study, 59 were identified as gang members, 75 as peripheral youth, and 664 as non-gang youth. Gang members and peripheral youth were more delinquent than non-gang youth overall; however, gang members committed more minor offenses and more violent offenses than non-gang youth and peripheral youth. Gang members were more antiauthority than non-gang youth, and both gang and peripheral youth valued social status more than non-gang youth. Gang members were also more likely to blame their victims for their actions and use euphemisms to sanitize their behavior than non-gang youth, whereas peripheral youth were more likely than non-gang youth to displace responsibility onto their superiors Family History of Gang Members Many inner-city kids become gang members, especially in high-crime areas such as barrios, housing projects and poor neighborhoods, but there are gangs in the suburbs as well. Families of gang members are usually chaotic and dysfunctional, with the father either absent or distant. Often, other family members and relatives are or have been gang members and have been incarcerated. However, there are many families in which not all siblings become gang members. Gang members typically come from disadvantaged families in which there is little parental supervision, inadequate or incompetent parenting, and neglect. There may be histories of abuse and domestic violence in these families and some of the roots for the gang members' lack of respect for women may stem from an early, violent family background of the father being abusive to the mother. Many gang members become fathers very early in order to prove their pseudo-adulthood, masculinity and dominance. Ten to 20 percent of the author's clientele are fathers. Anger and Low IQ Typical Prospective gang members grow up with gangs around them in their neighborhoods. Their families have been involved with crime and gangs and their friends are gang members. They


have gone to the same school, lived on the same block and have grown up together. Gang membership almost seems endemic in these areas but as mentioned, there are gangs in the suburbs, too. The young male gang member has early developmental and family problems and then, when he goes to school, he does poorly, especially behaviorally. He typically has a low IQ (modal IQs are typically in the 80s), has poor reading skills and does poorly academically. He develops serious behavioral problems and often is a "bully" in school. He is not able to stay in a mainstream school and usually ends up being suspended, expelled or transferred to an alternative school (such as a continuation school or a court school). Gang members bring their gang problems to the schools and disrupt the learning environment. Male gang members are angry young people who project much of their anger regarding their absent fathers at all authority and society. They become dropouts and develop odd and asocial subcultures to compensate. With their "homeboys," they develop a power base -- the gang. Underneath, they feel inadequate, inferior, and angry and they want to get back at others for dealing them a bad hand (i.e., no fathers in their lives and inadequate mothers). They are unsure of themselves but feel more security in numbers and the protection and cohesiveness of the gang. The gang gives them an identity, a reputation and feelings of belonging and interpersonal closeness. Out of their anger, gang members become aggressive and they fight and take pride in being ruthless and violent. They continue to seek status, affiliation and companionship, which increasingly are provided by the gang rather than the family. They gain a reputation by committing violent crimes and move their way up the gang hierarchy by the number of crimes they commit against rival gangs and by the violence of these crimes. Gang status also is heightened by the amount of time they have been incarcerated and the tougher settings to which they have been sentenced (i.e., California Youth Authority). They want someday to become "Original Gangsters" or "OGs," a goal among some of the black gang members, or "Veteranos" among the Hispanic gang members. Once they become OGs or Veteranos, they can let underlings and less-renowned gang members take their places and do the work of the gang. Gangs as Social Groups Most of the gang members' time is spent with other gang members hanging out, cruising and partying. Many drink alcohol (mostly beer) and some use drugs. They feel they have to defend their territory and their reputations and seek revenge for violence against their gang or an intrusion into their territory. Gang violence usually occurs between gangs of similar ethnic backgrounds; some of it can be territorial and some of it can be related to defending the honor and name of the gang and retaliating for earlier violence. Gang violence also is the result of challenges from other gangs and from a whipped-up group loyalty in which most members are the followers of a few entrenched hard-core gang leaders. The gang becomes the center of most activity and the source of support and affiliation. It becomes gang members' primary social group. Female gangs act as companions who may be used to carry weapons or in other ways. Gang members like to feel they have power in numbers and to think they are "deep" (meaning they have many in their set). Feelings of inferiority and inadequacy are hidden by bragging, bravado and provocation. Many are manipulated by older, more sophisticated gang members. They feel that others do not understand them and that everyone is hostile toward them. They have social deficits, rude manners and limited verbal skills.


Many become dangerous and violent. They become impulsive, explosive and fight with little or no provocation. Some may have underlying dysphoria that is projected as anger, aggression and violence. Turning Gang Members Around In spite of their bad backgrounds and negative peer pressure, gang members still have choices along the way about continued gang affiliation. Often, only after years of incarceration and some maturity, and frequently a relationship with a woman and with their children, they do exercise better judgment and make better individual choices. Many develop work habits while incarcerated and later are able to find and keep employment. Some go back to school. When one understands the psychology of the gang member, correctional interventions and programming then can follow. As stated by: Ronald J. Maki, Psy.D., is a senior clinical psychologist with the county of San Diego's Juvenile Forensic Services, Children's Mental Health Services, and Health and Human Services Agency.

Serial Killers

Children who are exposed to alcohol and substance abuse in the womb may suffer from serious birth defects. Small eye openings, retardation, a small head and brain and central nervous system issues are just some of the problems they could face, if they survive.


Growing up in a home where substances are abused can be even worse. ADHD, attachment disorders, doubt and feelings of inadequacy, depression and behavioral problems will be evident from a very young age. According to the FBI's statistics, the childhood homes of more than 70% of serial killers experienced problems related to substance abuse. Be that as it may, there have actually been very few serial killers (relatively speaking) addicted to alcohol and substances - but many of them are known to have encountered such things in their youth.?? Psychological abuse during childhood It almost goes without saying that most serial killers were abused as children. According to the interviews and discussions that have been held with known serial killers, emotional abuse and neglect has been the form of abuse most of them (50%) suffered. They were humiliated often - and when parents meted out discipline, it was unfair, unpredictable, destructive and wicked. Even when a child is merely neglected, huge developmental failures can occur. The child will become desensitized; he will begin to believe that this emotionally barren world that surrounds it is something normal - and so he will grow up devoid of empathy for others. Emotional abuse impairs a child's self-esteem, and interferes with his ability to function adequately in society, succeed academically, and form healthy, intimate relationships. This is why we see that serial killers often fail to keep their jobs for any period of time and only rarely have successful relationships.?? Sexually stressful events in childhood Accessible research material tells us violent sexual events during childhood have serious adverse effects on an individual's development. More than one known serial killer was forced to dress up as a girl as a form of punishment. The witnessing of violent sexual acts between family members and/or parents had some of the most damaging effects. Furthermore, some contracted venereal diseases as teenagers; were punished for masturbating as children; or were sexually abused, most often by parents or family members. Such experiences in childhood will often create violent fantasies that continue into adulthood. Childhood abuse leads to social isolation, learning difficulties (46% of serial killers never finish high-school), self-control issues and seizures. This research into child abuse serves as compelling confirmation that serial killers are made - not born.?? Bed-wetting Even though bed-wetting in itself has been discredited as a predictor of later violent tendencies, it is speculated that it might be related to arson and animal cruelty in some way. Researches argue that persistent bed-wetting past the age of five is demeaning for a child, especially if parents or other figures of authority tease or belittle them about it. The child may then act out against animals or use arson to channel their anger and frustration. Over 57% of serial killers were bedwetter's until an unusually advanced age.?? Growing up lonely and isolated Family members of future serial killers are usually out of step and at odds with each other. Their


relationships are malfunctioned and debilitating. These families also have a tendency to move around a lot, and the children are normally removed into shelters before they can turn 18. It all comes down to the idea that such children don't have any meaningful relationship as they grow up, and as such end up lacking the capacity to forge such relationship; they end up as "loners". Serial killers are rarely remembered by classmates, as they rarely had any close friends. As they are frequently bullied by other kids, anti-social tendencies will also develop at an early age. A careful observer will see that this child starts dabbling in arson and theft, the use of dangerous weapons, hostility and aggression, and a complete disregard for others' rights. Fantasies Let-The-Right-One-In??Serial killers' fantasies are often about control and violation. In fact, during research, it became evident that serial killers could remember NO positive fantasies they had as children. Some would fantasize about mutilating themselves or their genitals. They will even fantasize about their own traumas, over and over again - the difference being that in these fantasies they are the assailant. Serial killers in the making will never discuss these horrid fantasies with anyone, but thoughts of fulfilling them will recur more and more frequently. Before the serial killer kills for the first time, the fantasies normally focus on committing the murder. Afterwards, the fantasies will focus on committing each murder more successfully, and with greater efficiency. ?? Preferring auto-erotic activities Most serial killers admitted that during their teenage years they avoided parties and other social events. They definitely never experimented as normal teenagers do with sexual activities among their peers, rather preferring masturbation and other auto-erotic activities such as pornography. In some cases there would be obsessive masturbation - as in the case of Andrei Chikatilo, who had awful scarring on his penis due to the aggression that accompanied his masturbation. Without any substantial social structure in his life, the killer is unable to embark on a normal sexual relationship, and thus is forced into solo sexual activities. Certain forms of media, such as detective magazines, often have lurid tales of sex and murder that can also serve as an extra form of arousal - linking sex and murder together. ?? Developing voyeurism and fetishism in adulthood From an early age, many serial killers are intensely interested in voyeurism and fetishism as well as other paraphilia's. Many will start their deviancy as relatively harmless peeping-toms, before moving on to house-breaking, rape, and murder. Given that elements of bondage and dominance feature so strongly in most paraphilia's, it is no surprise that this is often the route followed after adolescence.?? Acting out fantasies on animals Almost all serial killers - in fact, 99% of them - admitted that they started by acting out their violent fantasies on animals before graduating to human beings. Due to the dysfunctional families most serial killers come from, such pathological and abnormal behavior may be ignored or completely missed - as in the case of Jeffrey Dahmer, whose father was unperturbed by the fact that his son


was dissecting animals. These acts of animal cruelty are a great source of pleasure to young killers, and they manage to perfect the art completely - later performing the same acts on their human victims.?? Physical injuries? Head injuries received during accidents, repeated head trauma suffered during physical abuse or injuries during birth have been suggested as a very important link to aggressive and violent behavior. Damage to the limbic brain, hypothalamus or temporal lobe may cause bouts of spontaneous aggression. These areas are involved with hormones, aggression, emotion and motivation; injuries to them may also result in seizures and forms of amnesia. 70% of serial killers received extensive head injuries as children or adolescents, clearly showing the link between these types of injuries and serial murder. Some researchers believe that the prefrontal cortex (the area involved in planning and judgment) does not function properly in psychopaths.

What countries use Sharia Law?

Countries using strict forms of Sharia Law include: Death for Blasphemy: 1. Afghanistan 2. Bahrain


3. Iran 4. Mauritania 5. Oman 6. Pakistan 7. Yemen 8. Saudi Arabia 9. Gaza Imprisonment for Blasphemy: 1. Algeria 2. Bangladesh 3. Egypt 4. Iraq 5. Kuwait 6. Libya 7. Malaysia 8. Maldives 9. Morocco 10. Somalia 11. Tunisia 12. United Arab Emirates

Nations that include some level of Sharia (lenient sentences for honor killings, ban on new churches, floggings, etc.):

1. Indonesia (Flogging, Caning; Sharia applied strictly in Aceh province) 2. Turkey (Restrictions on alcohol) 3. Brunei (Caning, Alcohol is illegal) 4. Jordan (2 years or less for honor killings) 5. Eritrea (Girls as young as 8 can be married, spousal rape is not recognized) 6. Syria (1 year or less for honor killings) 7. Djibouti (Sharia law regarding divorce) 8. Chechnya (Modest dress enforced, Alcohol and gambling suppressed by local authorities) 9. Niger (girls can be married off before they reach puberty) 10. Nigeria (Sharia is enforced in the northern states) 11. Kenya (Ad Hoc Sharia enforced in the east near the border with Somalia) 12. Gambia (Sharia courts decide all family matters, including for non-Muslims) 13. Qatar (public consumption is illegal during Ramadan, Alcohol heavily restricted, blood money acceptable punishment for murder, "kafala" law which is also shared by all Gulf states but Bahrain is technically slavery) 14. Uganda (Kadhi Courts overseeing family and civil matters) http://www.book-spot.com/bobsimages/sharia-law.jpg Most "Western" nations also have parallel Sharia legal systems (for example in Canada polygamy is widely practiced and authorities look the other way, Imams refusing to condemn or work to stop it). Sharia finance is also practiced in many nations around the world. Many other Islamic nations that do not apply Sharia (such as Azerbaijan, Albania, Bosnia, Uzbekistan, and Tajikstan) have large portions of their population who do want it applied or who actively seek to abide by it extra-


legally.

Iran Unlike most countries governed by philosophical tenets, Iran's governance is based on religion and that is the Sharia Law. Prohibited in Iran are actions and propaganda against the government. A slight statement in the negative about how bad the Iranian government, is enough to get you in serious trouble. Logging on to social media sites like Facebook, Google +, and YouTube also means trouble. Men cannot sport certain hair styles other than what is prescribed in Islam. Women are not allowed to go out in public unless they adhere to certain dress codes, such as covering their head in hijab and avoiding skinny jeans. Western music such as jazz, rock, and rap are strictly prohibited. Alcoholic beverages for both men and women are highly discouraged.

Syria Violence has increased in Syria over the years as clashes between the government and the rebel forces continue to mount. To quell anti-government actions, the Syrian regime has resorted to a nationwide communications blackout. Communications through mobile and landline phones and internet access are significantly limited. Foreign news correspondents are banned from entering the country and news is heavily monitored. Syrian journalists who act against the government are tortured or, worse, end up dead. Saudi Arabia


While Saudi Arabia has recently took down their curtains and huddled with the rest of the world, the country is still deeply rooted in laws that stemmed from religion and tradition. Social laws, which mostly apply to women, are stern. For example, women are not allowed to drive or be with a man who is not a relative or go out in public in casual clothes. Internet access is restricted and media outlets are closely watched. Senior editors can get fired and arrested if they allow publishing or broadcasting any content that says something negative about the government.

Equatorial Guinea In Equatorial Guinea, people are discouraged from learning how to read and write. There are no bookstores or newsstands in the country. Tourism is also low as foreigners are normally not allowed to enter the country. The government, which is ran by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo since a coup installed him in 1973, controls the TV and radio stations. Foreigners who are allowed to enter Equatorial Guinea are closely monitored and prohibited from filming scenes and conditions that portray poverty. Eritrea Situated above the Horn of Africa, Eritrea has been ruled by President Isaias Afewerki, who came to power in 1993. The President and his government have full control of the media in the country, with their agencies having total control of the news and who writes the news. Nothing gets published or broadcasted without the approval of the President's Office. Religion is also controlled. No one is allowed to perform public worship and one has to apply as a member to a certain sect before they can be allowed to practice their faith. Why are gangs allowed to form? Why is Sharia law acceptable in a society?


What exactly is done to a predator? In my opinion as a global society there is just one solution to the terrorist problem. First, we have to recognize that they are predators. Then, we need to remove every pre predator dator, every terrorist away from global communities. I'm a peaceful man and a humanitarian. Said that, in my opinion we should move them altogether, make sure they have the equipment to farm and build their own dwellings water ways etc. But remove them the predator, the terrorist from our sight!

I am not one for political correctness that said Sharia law must be removed from every country. I don't care that they're hiding behind religious freedom. The law is ancient and has no place in a society.
