On September 11, 2001, the U.S. was impacted by a series of deadly terrorist attacks. That night, George W. Bush, the current president, addressed the people of America with a powerful speech, both unifying and empowering Americans, and warning terrorists. While he wasn’t a particularly popular politician prior to delivering his 9/11 speech, Bush gained a monumental number of followers afterwards. This speech, and the events leading up to it, was the perfect moment for Bush to step in and be…

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…

fields of criminal justice, security, and political psychology. ISIS and Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi declared Islamic Caliphate with 7 steps or phases that occur every 3 years ending in 2020. ISIS and Al Qaeda divided on who is actually the Caliph based on descendants of the Quaraysh tribe, and who has been selected by the Shura. ISIS is establishing legitimacy among Sunni Muslims around the world and moving away from Al Qaeda. The proclamation of Sunni caliphate may be the glue that holds together…

Not only does the spread of democracy serve the security interests of the United States, it could be argued that the attempt to spread democracy is morally defensible. This relies on the idea the democracy is the morally superior regime. As Janzekovic and Silander (2013, pp. 91), writes “The collective identity of Western community is based on a liberal view of human rights regarding individual freedoms, political rights and civil liberties”. Given this, it could also be said that despite its…

9/11/2001, this was the day that the United States tasted terrorism first hand. This day caused fear to spread like wildfire across the states.

Terrorists, loosely defined as individuals and groups that use violence to advance political goals, come from a wide variety of nations and backgrounds, and pursue a wide variety of agendas. Terrorism can cause problems in a person's life,…

The Al Mulathaman Battalion (AMB), also known as Those Who Sign in Blood Brigade and is a child of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). The AMB is considered by the U.S. State Department as “the greatest near-term threat to U.S. and Western interests in the Sahel.” (United States Department of State, 2016) Mokhtar Belmokhtar, an AQIM cell leader, claimed to take the best fighters from AQIM to create an organization to continue the fight against western interests, spread jihad and establish…

Islamophobia has been an ever-growing phenomenon in the United States for as long as one can remember. From the hate speech from our very own American politicians behind podiums to hate crimes against Muslims on our streets, the time came for an influential public figure to speak out and denounce this ignorance. On February 3rd of 2016, President Barack Obama made a historic and controversial visit to a mosque in Baltimore, Maryland to deliver a speech on freedom of religion, islamophobia, and…

Jews should stop wearing kippas to all of the public events they attend. Wearing a kippa only brings hate and terrorist attacks to all the people that wear them. In paragraph 16, the author states, “Harassment, threats, and vandalism directed at American Muslims has reportedly grown recently, notably in the wake of the ISIS- linked attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, and comments by U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump.” According to the author, muslims are getting threatened…
