As the relationship between the Middle East and the West becomes more bleak, Khomeini and Bin Laden in the world of geopolitics, share similarities in their philosophical understanding. Worthy to acknowledge are their overlapping views and growing steadfast support in the confrontation of American imperialism, despite having led parts of the Islamic world decades apart. Rather than two people sharing a common interest, the studies of Khomeini and Bin Laden rather imply a sentiment that characterizes Western intervention in Islamic foreign policy as the main factor of Muslim oppression. The two leaders react to U.S. imperialism similarly though policy and rhetoric, despite influencing Muslims decades apart. In response to conflicts with the…
They weren’t sure if the Pakistanian society and citizens were helping him hide or the Pakistani government was helping him hide from the U.S. and The New York Times states, “Osama bin Laden’s house, a three-story concrete building, mostly concealed behind concrete walls as high as 18 feet, topped with rusting strands of barbed wire. This was where Bin Laden hid for nearly six years, and where, 30 hours earlier, Navy SEAL commandos shot him dead in a top-floor bedroom.” (Gall) The fact that Osama Bin Laden had to hide from the Americans in mansion, with 18 foot wall makes it even more…
Not only is it a powerful country, it is also a communist country, so being invaded by them provides a large threat to the surrounding countries. Seth Jones, a political scientist and writer, pointed out how threatening the Soviet Union was on other countries, “Akhtar argued that the Soviet Invasion threatened Pakistani security: if the Soviet army conquered Afghanistan, it would only be a short step to Pakistan. Akhtar recommended backing the Afghan resistance and turning Afghanistan into the Soviet Union’s Vietnam,” (Document #11). Because…
In The Islamic World Powers, by Sultan Selim, the excerpt takes part in the conflict between the Sunni and Shah Ismail of Persia. During the excerpt, Selim quotes the Qur’an and describes his passion towards the Islamic God. As the article continues, Selim tells Shah Ismail of Persia that he is traveling the wrong path; therefore, Selim will build an army and take his down. Selim writes, “We have entered upon the campaign, and guided by the hand of the Almighty, we hope to strike down your tyrannous arm” (101-102). By saying this, if Shah Ismail does not change his ways and apologize for all the crimes he has committed, Selim will dethrone and kill him.…
Should the U.S pull troops out of Afghanistan? As problems across the world progress, in the United States of America we will need to decide if we will deal with other countries dilemmas. There has been a major conflict in the USA about taking our troops of the military out of Afghanistan, and bringing them back to their home country. I strongly believe that they should take these troops out gradually because; if a problem happens there will be back up, if they take them out too fast it could cause tension between the countries, and if they slowly take them out of Afghanistan they will not have troops to fight somewhere else. In the country of Afghanistan, there is many problems, but the U.S does not know if they should have troops fighting there after these many years.…
The main Challenges that faced by Muslims in America and Europe is to prove to others that they are not terrorist and have no hate toward America or Europe. Many Muslims complain that they get attacked by non-Muslim because many non-Muslims believe that all Muslims are terrorist and should go back to where they came from even though many of these Muslims were raised or born in America or Europe. Another challenge would be the fact that many Muslim women including myself face is the fact that we have less opportunities to get a job and get attacked in many public places because we wear the hijab. sadly my kids are growing up now and they have witnessed people attacking me verbally which at first was shocking to them because they never knew that,…
The most important goal of American foreign policy is to defend the independence of the United States, so that America can govern itself according to its principles and pursue its national interests. The U.S. is therefore committed to providing for its common defense, protecting the freedom of its commerce, and seeking peaceful relations with other nations. At the same time, American foreign policy has a set of long-term goals, or a grand strategy, that have traditionally guided its foreign policy thinking. This grand strategy is shaped by the universal significance of America 's founding principles, and the country 's unique responsibility to uphold and advance these principles.…
Foreign policy has been a struggle for the US, ever since immigration was started. However, many advancements were made, both for good and bad as a more modern America progressed. As Pearl Harbor was bombed, as the League of Nations failed, and as the US tried to stay neutral and isolated, the advancements of foreign policy were changed drastically. From 1920 to 1945 those changes were the most profound, as America became a more modern, civilized society. One of the vital pivot points of foreign policy was in 1941, when Pearl Harbor was bombed.…
These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steal of American resolve” (Aaron Y. Zelin). Al Qaeda has tested our nation’s patriotism in many of ways by testing the faith of not only the American people but people across this world. “While the war on terrorism has cost the US some 1 trillion al Qaeda remains a global threat. In fact, in August 2008, Ted Gistard the US government’s senior terrorism analyst said in a report that by forging closer ties to Pakistani militants, al Qaeda is more capable of launching an attack in the US than it was in 2007. The Pakistani militants have given al Qaeda leaders a safe haven in remote areas to train recruits” (Laura Hayes, Borgna Brunner, and Beth Rowen).…
My main goal is to win the Cold War and to finally bring peace to America and its foreign affairs. I escalate the Cold War with the Soviet Union, which marks a departure from the policy of détente by my predecessors. The Reagan Administration executes a new policy under my control towards the Soviet Union through National Security Decisions Directive in order to confront the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. I support anti-communist groups around the world and implement good foreign affairs as president. The policy known as the Reagan Doctrine is one of the key aspects my foreign policy.…
Very few people have changed the course of history. Even less have helped to create a country, yet Muhammad Ali Jinnah has done both. He was a lawyer, a politician, and he was the man who led the act of creating Pakistan, a country in South Asia. This astonishing performance happened in 1947, years after Jinnah wanted it to be reality. Jinnah had a large role in the creation of Pakistan and left a questionable legacy in the process.…
