Decent Essays
ISIL does not have any relationship with Islam, even though they call themselves Islamic State. There is not any religion around the world that says people to kill another people, Islam as well. ISIL is a terrorist group, it is simple, that hides under religious identities, they use religious values for their benefit and kill innocent people, and the majority of ISIL’s victims are Muslims.
ISIL threatens the people of Iraq and Syria, and the Middle East, American citizens and whole countries around the world.

According to John Tirman professor MIT Center for International studies (par.2) “Mr. Bush signaled these comparisons in his speech before Congress nine days after the attacks, when he said the terrorists “follow in the path of fascism, and Nazism, and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way, to where it ends: in history’s unmarked grave of discarded lies.” The Cold War was a contest between two superpowers, with many layers of conflicts, spying threats, arms race, proxy wars and military confrontations. The conflicts were manageable and many people were involved to diffuse the possible conflicts.…

    With a continuous increase of practicing Muslims in the United States than there are American Episcopalians, Jews, or Presbyterians (Yahya, Harun). It certainly does seem inevitable for a religion like Islam not to have an impact on American main stream media, politics, or pop culture. Even though, they represent a smaller portion of the total population in the United States, Muslims over the years have been greatly influential in shaping certain aspects like the sciences, art, and humanities of American society. With some 6 million adherents in the United States, studies have shown that Islam slowly is becoming one of the nation 's fastest-growing religion (Brown).
