The phenomenon of terrorism, as a concept, its causes, motives, and methods of confronting it, is of paramount importance to all those concerned with local, regional, and international security, as well as with economic, educational, security, and social systems at all levels. The experience of confronting terrorism in Iraq and the Middle East has yielded new data, leading to numerous changes in the concept of terrorism, its creation, and its exploitation, and has generated new approaches to confronting and combating it. Terrorism is a manufactured and exploited phenomenon that requires a conducive environment to grow and destroy states by destroying their societies. It is a social disease before it is a disease of the state and combating it must involve the participation of all segments of society, not just the actions of governments, armies, and intelligence agencies.
To prove this hypothesis, an integrated approach was necessary, based on scientific analysis, systems analysis, the historical method, and the legal method, to establish the validity of the research hypothesis and contribute academically to resolving the research problem.

Following the introduction, the research was divided into three sections, conclusions, and a final section. The first section addresses the variables of the concept of terrorism. The second section examines the internationalization of terrorism. The third section explores the creation and exploitation of terrorism. To incorporate an orientalist perspective after compiling the analyses and conclusions, the third section addresses ways to confront terrorism in Iraq. The final section follows.
