Although terrorist organizations like ISIS Hamas has gained a huge notoriety over the past few years due to its brutal tactics, and Bill Roggio, an expert analyst and senior editor of the Democratic Defense Department’s Chief War Magazine, explained to Fox News Digital Digital that Al-Qaeda’s threat to Al-Qaeda is even more rapid today.

“President [Donald] Trump, even welcomes the takeover of the removal of Bashar Al Assad. As far as I estimate, this is a mistake. “He added. “This is a person who has proven to be smart.” ”
Roggio explains his main concerns on terrorism Decades after 9/11 It is the safe haven they were granted and the public’s feelings towards various groups.

But he also noted that public support for groups that commit huge atrocities and human rights violations is also increasing.
“When you look at attitudes toward jihadist groups, check out support for Hamas today…the rise of anti-Semitism and the decrease in support for Israel – these are indicators of trends in jihadist groups.
“For me, these signs indicate that we have lost the war on terrorism,” he added.

“Our hesitation, our will, our lack of commitment in these countries makes them feel brave and again,” Rogio said. “These threats will persist until we remove state sponsorship and until we can effectively deal with suppliers of radical ideology.”
