You know, we put the Taliban on notice that we expect them to not allow that to happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2013 <\/b><span>U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>September 11, 2001<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Al-Qaeda terrorists coordinated the 9\/11 attacks, but U.S. policy at the time drew no distinction between terrorist groups, such as al-Qaeda, and those who harbored them, like the Taliban.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After twenty years of conflict in the region to eradicate terror, President Joe Biden is being widely criticized for the immediate consequences of his foreign policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Biden Faces Criticism<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The first point of criticism relates to Biden\u2019s decision to unilaterally withdraw from Afghanistan, which has not only resulted in the complete return of Afghanistan to Taliban control, but the resurgence of other terrorist groups in the region, including<\/span> <span>al-Qaeda.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Many are now condemning the potential inability of the U.S. to prevent the resurgence of the terrorist group behind 9\/11, especially since much of the responsibility for preventing terrorism now rests on the shoulders of the Taliban.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Transparency Concerns<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The second layer of criticism relates to an ongoing push by hundreds of family members of 9\/11 victims for the U.S government to release information regarding the attack.

Khorasan is a wider historical region including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/programs\/transnational-threats-project\/past-projects\/terrorism-backgrounders\/islamic-state-khorasan\"><span>parts<\/span><\/a><span> of Iran, Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to Katherine Zimmerman, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, the group was officially recognized in early 2015. Zimmerman told The Daily Wire they started to form in the fall of 2014 from disaffected members of the Pakistani Taliban in the Afghanistan\/Pakistan region. She said at the time they were accusing the Taliban of compromising with the west and not pursuing global jihad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Who\u2019s Who?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The main groups Americans hear about are the Islamic State, the Taliban, and al-Qaeda.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Zimmerman told The Daily Wire one of the main differences between these groups has to do with how each one treats fellow Muslims.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Taliban and al-Qaeda believe other Muslims need to be taught true Islam in order to then be held accountable for their actions. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-south-asia-11451718\"><span>word<\/span><\/a><span> \u201cTaliban\u201d means \u201cstudents\u201d in Pashto, which is one of the official languages of Afghanistan. Since the Taliban is in control now, however, they will be strictly enforcing Sharia law.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Islamic State is more extreme and fringe because they believe any individual \u2014 especially Muslims \u2014 who haven\u2019t yet answered the call to jihad and joined the Islamic State are not actually Muslims. She said this distinction is extremely important.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>She said the Islamic State sees it as a duty to enforce its interpretation of Islam with force; Muslims who resist or reject it must be killed. The Taliban, by contrast, believes they need to teach Muslims their interpretation of Islam, and people will adjust once they\u2019re exposed to it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Experts say the Islamic State is<\/span> <span>actively recruiting and ISIS-K has worked to expand its network into more urban areas, like Kabul, as seen by the recent terrorist attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Terror Threats<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>A 2018 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/programs\/transnational-threats-project\/past-projects\/terrorism-backgrounders\/islamic-state-khorasan\"><span>report<\/span><\/a><span> by the Center for Strategic and International Studies noted that Islamic State-Khorasan \u201cdisregards international borders and envisions its territory transcending nation-states.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The same report said the group\u2019s \u201cglobal aspirations include \u2018[raising] the banner of al-Uqab above Jerusalem and the White House.&#8217;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Islamic State isn\u2019t the only terror group for the U.S. to be watching.
