Abstract

Every year, in any part of countries or even any part of the world, there have been acts of violence or radicalism carried out by terrorists. These particular terrorists intend to show the world that there is always something recent to show to the international community. A person or a group of people from terrorist circles could have been shot dead by security forces, but in fact, a number of other people are running the same pattern of considering themselves as part of terrorism. A group of terrorists referred to by the international community has recently emerged as ISIS (Islamic State Iraq and Syria) terrorists. Although the ISIS terrorist is categorized as a newly formed terrorist, his actions have stirred up the world. A number of people from various countries, including Indonesia, are managed to "be herded" as part of its power. The pattern of their global communication is able to make a number of people willing to die in order to defend their movement.
