and achieved incredible breakthroughs
in all fields of science. Through the
internet, we are now more interconnected than
ever before and the invention of smartphones

Islamist terrorism have perfected the art of
religious manipulation. They have successfully
tricked emotionally vulnerable individuals into
subscribing to their terrorist agenda - and on an
alarmingly large scale at that.
