This type of terrorism is proliferated with increasing aggressiveness by fundamentalist Islamic entities, which places it among the major threats to security and stability throughout the world. Its effects are visible in particular in the Middle East, where take place systemic crisis, but lately these attacks specific to Islamist terrorism occurred increasingly frequently in European countries with established democracies, like France or Belgium, which arouses concern about the future of European security.
