Summary/Abstract: The terrorism is an unconventional tactic used for achieving political goals having as basis the violence. The international terrorism is the main threat to the countries of the world, human society and democracy, both for the structure and social cohesion and the security of the states. Arab Spring was a landmark event in the history of the Middle East conflict that causes regionals conflicts that led ultimately to the disintegration of the Middle East as a form of state organization. Amid these regional changes arose the largest and the most important terrorist group known by its present form the Islamic State, which has created a new geopolitical reality. The Islamic State is a factor of instability and uncertainty for both the Middle East and for the European Union . The barbarity of violence led Islamic State population of the occupied territories to emigrate to neighboring countries or to Europe in particular, which created the largest humanitarian crisis after the Second World War. Thus the European Union is facing a huge wave of immigrants which has triggered political and social tensions, a threat to the public order and the security of member states. The Islamic State takes advantage of this crisis to send fighters infiltrated among immigrants in order to accomplish the objectives of terrorism in Europe. It also uses means of media propaganda to recruit young muslims in European countries. These young muslims become radicalized and organize terrorist attacks in the name of the Islamic State, in their home countries. In this context the European Union must devise a plan of measures to control the refugee crisis and lessen the danger of terrorist threat to the Islamic State beyond its borders and within the member states which are large communities of Muslims.
