Özet:In this thesis, the question of what kind of differences terrorism has undergone as a result of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the conceptualization of terrorism as a form of political violence, and the handling of the changes over the last fifteen years have been answered in the light of the case of ISIS terror organization. This thesis examines the question of whether terrorism has new and unprecedented revolutionary features in terms of factors such as goal, organizational and lethality since 2001 under five chapters. In this sense, firstly, this thesis examines various definitions of terrorism in order to make a definition that conceptualizes terrorism as a political form of violence. Secondly, in this thesis, changes and developments in the history of terrorism were analysed through the examination of a number of selected terrorist groups that had different manifestations and motivations. Lastly, the new terrorism debate, which argues that terrorism has been subject to revolutionary and previously unseen changes with respect to its aims, lethality and organizational structure after 9/11 attacks was analysed thoroughly. In this context, the question of whether the Islamist terrorist organizations activities are religious, apocalypse and irreconcilable are questioned through the examination of radical Islamist terrorist organizations; Al-Qaeda and its regional organization ISIS that has been operating in Syria and Iraq since Syria in 2014.
