claim?

Explanation:

Terrorism is an acts committed by groups or individuals that has common ideology to use violence and intimidation to conduct criminal acts which are directed against a country or a particular group, religion with the intention of creating a state of terror in the minds of their target.

In paragraph

Terrorism is based on the mistaken belief that a small number of violent acts that target symbolic and meaningful places and events important to the adversary can enable them to achieve political goals. Secondly, terrorists always underestimate the strong revulsion and disgust that the majority of human beings feels toward acts of political violence.

The article makes the following argument:

The author of the article point out that terrorism does not work and terrorists do not generally achieve their goals; instead, they simply make those who are attacked by them angry and more resolved to defeat them in any possible way.(underestimate the strong revulsion and disgust that the majority of human beings feels toward acts of political violence)

Do you agree or disagree with his claim?

Yes, I agree with his claim because of my personal experience toward acts carried out by terrorists. I had strong revulsion,loathing and disgust to their cowardness and inhuman behaviour since the Madrid train bombings in 2004.
