Cronin (2015) claims that the best strategy to combat Isis is offensive containment: "a combination of limited military tactics and a broad diplomatic strategy to halt Isis expansion, isolate the group, and degrade its capabilities". In this essay I will explain my opinion regarding the preferred strategy to fight Isis. In my opinion, what may work for the benefit the US foreign policy is not necessarily good for the security of the state of Israel.

    The Qur’an, an Islamic holy text, often states that it is a religion of peace and charity, and, until recently, violence in the name of the faith was quite isolated. As an anonymous member of Reddit’s r/Islam community states, “though Islam is a peaceful religion, not all Muslims support peace.” One of those few was Osama bin Laden, commonly known as America’s prime adversary. He and his organization, Al Qaeda, took responsibility for atrocities committed against the American people, atrocities like the September 11th attacks, one of the nation’s darkest days. However, in the 1970’s and 80’s, the United States itself funded bin Laden and his colleagues.…

    When someone hears the word Arabs or Islam post 9/11 in America, there wasn’t any sense of danger towards Muslims. Unlike today when the media brings up the religion of Islam, automatically non Muslims think the worst of us. There has become fear to see a man having a full bread, or a woman in hijab. Usually this fear comes from people who know absolutely nothing about this religion and who don’t understand it. I believe that the American press has a big influence on how the country views Muslims and things are only getting worse.…

The use of torture has been a hot topic for the past several years, mainly because of its use by the Bush administration and the intelligence gained through torture eventually leading us to finding Osama Bin Laden.
