To some extent, it must be acknowledged that the fear of Arab terrorism among the American population has been cultivated, and that this cultivation clearly implicates the American media. The main arguments of the essay are that the responses and attitudes depicted by mass media are irrational because they increase fear and anxiety among Americans. The author claims that thousands of people are killed in car accidents and earthquakes but nobody pays so much attention to these deaths and property loss. The author states that beyond terror attacks is a political economy of terrorism that places behavior in a world system context. However, terror is not confined to purely instrumental linkages between specific nation states and the misdeveloping world. The modern state may be quite “rational” in its projection of national power on a world scale through military force, covert intelligence operations, and economic sanctions. Violence as a part of the terror attack cannot be justified. In the dominant view, those who perpetrate outsider violence are often portrayed as irrational or crazed, exercising a twisted thirst for blood. A political economy of terrorism must take note of such efforts, probing theoretically the structure of ideological systems, and placing these in a material context. The author argues that every year 15,000 of people are murdered but this statistical data creates less fear and anxiety than terror attacks of 9/11. A political economy of terrorism must take note of such efforts.
