If not, consider listing a few differences if these beliefs include the name of the organizations, such as ISIS, al Qaeda, FARC, or the ELN, just to name a few. How does the interpretation of historic religious practices and scripture influence contemporary practices associated with terrorist acts committed by al Qaeda and ISIS? Are they the same or different? Note: The paper must be written in narrative form and include a title page, page numbers, headers, in-text citations, and references following APA.
