The Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) highlights an on going phenomenon occurring across the world, namely the migrations of people. Now in a post-9/11 environment, states are more concerned about border security and are looking for ways to protect their societies while still allowing for immigration and migrant workers. Today, global terrorism is associated with Al Qaeda and the other elements of radical Islam. Muslims, in general, are now under more scrutiny because the perpetrators September 11 were from the Middle East.
