A Sister Trope to Western, African, South Asian, and Far East Asian Terrorists, Middle Eastern Terrorists are terrorists who are based in The Middle Eastnote It's the transcontinental region of Western Asia between Southern Europe, North Africa and South Asia to carry out guerrilla and terrorist attacks against domestic/foreign governments and interests alike. They can be based in other places, but the majority of the manpower is made up of nationals who are from the Middle East. They can be used as mooks, usually working alongside other types of terrorists and criminals, as long as they share the same objectives and interests. In fiction, they mostly operate under Terrorists Without a Cause, La Résistance, or Knight Templars, or are placed under Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters. In other instances, they can operate as a "lone wolf" terrorist without being tied to any known terrorist group, a bit like a Middle Eastern version of a solitary Right-Wing Militia Fanatic (though as with Right-Wing Militia Fanatics, even a terrorist who isn't taking direct orders from an organization may still be connected to a larger cause if they've been self-radicalized through immersion in that cause's propaganda). Due to a string of large-scale and highly-publicized attacks attributed to primarily Salafist Arab terrorist groups in the early 21st century (particularly al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and their affiliates), it can come under Unfortunate Implications if handled clumsily. Some stereotypes associated include the use of shemaghs, turbans, or black balaclavas, thick beards, communist-made weapons/gear (notably the iconic AK-47 assault rifle and the RPG-7 rocket launcher), and driving "technicals" (civilian pickup trucks converted into gun trucks by mounting a heavy machine gun or anti-aircraft cannon on the back). They may be depicted citing verses from the Koran to justify their actions, most prominently including the phrase Allahu Akbar.note It means "God is Great". In reality, its an exclamation used by the majority of Arab combatants, including those who work under formal militaries. Creators can draw inspiration from Real Life sources and cases where terrorism has occurred in the Middle East, the vast majority of them falling under Islamist groups, making The Fundamentalist a common character among their ranks regardless of their exact "flavour". In the 2010s, the majority of terrorist deaths worldwide were caused by five specific groups: the Islamic State, the Taliban, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, and al-Qaeda.note In particular, its Yemen (AQAP) and Syrian (al-Nusra) branches. All five of these groups are Sunni fundamentalist, and with the exception of the Taliban (Deobandi), all belong to the Salafi jihadism movement. The Shia variants include groups like Hezbollah and its various Syrian/Iraqi proxies, which is tied into places like Lebanon and groups like the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Sometimes, fictional depictions can also include ultranationalist/Communist (or an odd mixture of both as some nationalist and pan Arab factions were Soviet aligned), Christian fundamentalist groups, Jewish fundamentalist (especially if the story is set in Israel) or some obscure cult. Compare Western Terrorists, which consists of terrorists who are born/raised in Western countries from the Americas to Europe, including Australia and New Zealand, African Terrorists, which consists of terrorists who are born/raised in the African continent, South Asian Terrorists, which consists of terrorists who are born/raised in the region of South Asia, and Far East Asian Terrorists, which consists of terrorists who are born/raised in the Far East region of the Asian continent. Compare and contrast with Arab Oil Sheikh, which is a possible source of how Middle East-based terrorists get help in terms of funding. noreallife Examples |

Victoria: A Novel of 4th Generation War, while lacking the terror angle as such, does feature every nation and sect in the Middle East banding together to invade Massachusetts, committing numerous atrocities such as crucifying Christians who won't reject their faith, and selling others into slavery, while getting hardly anything out of this expedition. The protagonists, though, get theirs back, first through a genetically engineered plague, then by the end of the book banding together all Christendom for a new Crusade. | |

Jack Ryan: The novels that feature Jack Ryan Jr. involve him and "The Campus" in halting terror attacks being orchestrated by "Umayyad Revolutionary Council". Most of its members are based in Europe. In the Ryanverse, the URC was the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks instead of Al-Qaeda. The Sum of All Fears has PFLP terrorists being assisted by the American Indian Movement and the Red Army Faction in smuggling an Israeli-made nuclear device to American soil to use it in a WMD attack on Denver. The movie version has the PFLP and their allies removed due to the production crew's thoughts that an Islamist terror attack in North America would be impossible. They were proven wrong after 9/11. |

Command & Conquer: Generals has the Global Liberation Army, or GLA. They have become so powerful, that they actually have a more conventional military in addition to their terrorist tactics. They have armored forces, bio-weapons arsenal, and even a small airforce (which is used to deliver said bio-weapons). Also because they specialize in not being seen and terrorist and guerilla tactics, they are the only faction in the game that does not need any power for their base (they will need it for American and Chinese buildings they capture though). They aren't totally Middle Eastern though, having bases from Xinjiang to Libya and from Kazakhstan to Somalia. However, all named leaders are Arab (Dr. Thrax is Jordanian, Kassad is Libyan, and Juhziz is Egyptian). | |

And before Qurac was a thing (indeed, the story was possibly WHY Qurac became a thing, to keep real-world geopolitics out of superhero comics), The Joker was selling nuclear weapons to Shiite terrorists in Lebanon in A Death in the Family, which brought him to the attention of one Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who made him the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations. At the same time, Lady Shiva was also training terrorists in the region. | |

The Boys (2019): Four of them from an unnamed group (presumably ISIS) hijack a US airline, causing Homelander and Queen Maeve's intervention. It ends with tragedy. ISIS features a bit more in the first two seasons. Homelander and A-Train conspire to give them Compound V to allow the creation of superhuman terrorists, to increase the need for superheroes. One such terrorist, Naqib, gains the power to create large explosions emanating from himself. Later, to tie up loose ends, both Homelander and Black Noir take out separate ISIS hideouts and slaughter all the operatives inside, with the latter beheading Naqib. |

His group is a populist rebellion which launched a coup in an unnamed Middle Eastern country and executed President Yasir Al-Fulani. He's also working together with the Russian Ultranationalists through Vladimir Makarov and Viktor Zakhaev, who provide him with weapons, vehicles, and even nuclear warheads. | |

Spooks One episode has MI5 and the police take on Kurdish nationalist terrorists when they conducted a siege on the Turkish embassy. Another case has MI5 investigate an assassination attempt on a novelist by Path of Light, a Palestinian terrorist group based in the West Bank. An unnamed Iraqi terrorist group hatched a plan to use sarin gas on the London Underground system, akin to the 1995 attacks on the Tokyo Metro subway system. Zaf later goes undercover as part of a case against an Al-Qaeda cell in London. Part of the show's Myth Arc has the bad guys conduct false flag attacks to make it look like VEVAK was going to conduct terrorist attacks in Britain. |

Syrian Warfare by Russian indie developer Cats Who Play has the player primarily fighting Al-Qaeda/ISISnote While not named in dialogue, it's listed as Al-Nursa, which makes sense given the context of the game. The enemies in the Palmyra DLC, on the other hand, are unambiguously ISIS. in northern Syria during the Syrian Civil War. Unusually for this trope, you play as the Syrian Arab Army (with some help from Russian special forces, who of course get a hefty Historical Badass Upgrade), and one of the most common insults your grunts throw at the terrorists is "infidel." This is actually accurate, as the Salafist doctrine that ISIS and Al-Qaeda (and their allies) follow is considered heterodox among most Muslims, including other jihadists (which some of your men may be, considering the NDF had no shortage of Islamists). Predictably given its source, the game has a pro-SAA perspective.note Not to say that the Syrian Arab Army didn't spend a lot of blood and treasure fighting Al-Nusra and ISIS, or that good men didn't serve in it, but the game glosses over both the SAA's own war crimes (which were endemic and of similar scale to the jihadists) and the more important actions of other factions against ISIS (the United States, the SDF, the Iraqi security forces). | |

When a hostage, Vikrham, is pushed out the bank doors, SWAT officers pat him down to discover a brown-skinned man with a dark beard and black turban. They react as if he is a terrorist, assuming he's wired with a bomb and taking him down and stealing his turban. Vikrham is a Sikh and quite peeved with the police for violating his rights. | |

Blue Bloods has the NYPD investigate cases where they confront Al-Qaeda terrorists. A season one episode has the Reagans discussing the pros and cons of racial profiling when the threat of an apparent radical Islamic bomb attack gets on the police's radar. It turns out that, whilst the bomb-maker is a radical Islamic person, it's a woman who wants to use a homemade carbomb to commit suicide rather than give custody of her son over to her husband, who divorced her when she begame radicalized, rather than the stereotypical angry young Islamic man seeking martyrdom and the glory of Islam. |

In the Year 2050: America's Religious Civil War features weekly suicide bombings, despite the US reaching majority Arabic Muslim demographics and winning sweeping election victories. In fact, the President of the United States has to order the bombings be stopped to fool the remainder of the country into thinking Islam is a religion of peace, reminding them that lying to infidels is A-OK. It's... not a very nuanced kind of book. | |

The DCU: The DC universe has Qurac, located in the said region. It's known publicly to be a rogue nation for sponsoring terrorists. In the late 1980s Qurac-backed terrorists appeared as villains in Suicide Squad and Adventures of Superman. And before Qurac was a thing (indeed, the story was possibly WHY Qurac became a thing, to keep real-world geopolitics out of superhero comics), The Joker was selling nuclear weapons to Shiite terrorists in Lebanon in A Death in the Family, which brought him to the attention of one Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who made him the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations. At the same time, Lady Shiva was also training terrorists in the region. |

The movie version has the PFLP and their allies removed due to the production crew's thoughts that an Islamist terror attack in North America would be impossible. They were proven wrong after 9/11. | |

Call of Duty: The first Modern Warfare game has Khaled Al-Asad, leader of the OpFor. His group is a populist rebellion which launched a coup in an unnamed Middle Eastern country and executed President Yasir Al-Fulani. He's also working together with the Russian Ultranationalists through Vladimir Makarov and Viktor Zakhaev, who provide him with weapons, vehicles, and even nuclear warheads. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) has the Al-Qatala group, one of the three main factions in the civil war in Urzikstan (along with the Russian occupation government and the heroically-portrayed Uzrikstani Liberation Force). Among other things, Al-Qatala storms a US embassy and ruthlessly slaughter embassy workers just to get their leader back. In Warzone they spread their activities to Russia. Their actual ideology is never really given, but their leader goes out of his way in his very first scene to say that they are definitely not religiously motivated. |

Project Reality uses actual real life terrorist organizations, like HAMAS, the Taliban and the Free Syrian Army. It also has a "Insurgent" faction that represents the large and diverse groups in the Iraq War, like Al-Qaeda and Ba'athist loyalists. Its Spiritual Successor Squad uses an Anonymous Ringer in form of the "Insurgents". In early versions of the game they looked like stereotypical Taliban fighters, but were remade to look closer to islamic insurgents in various other conflicts so they'd be more versatile. Mods like Middle Eastern Escalation took this a step further and even had ISIS added in, but this was removed under orders of OWI. Regardless, the game has alot of real-life armies and factions across the Middle East. |
