Did the Terrorists Win?
Key Points:
- Twenty-five years ago, nearly 3,000 people were killed in coordinated attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania by extremists driven by apocalyptic ideologies.
- These attackers' motivations have been studied extensively, often described using terms like "Salafi jihadism" and the goal of "restoring the caliphate."
- Despite complex ideological labels, their actions stemmed from a deeply primal and violent impulse.
- SCOTUSblog, acquired by The Dispatch in 2025, continues to provide comprehensive and unbiased coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court with high journalistic and legal ethical standards.
