My Misconception of Jordan The Middle East was nothing like I experienced it to be. I was expecting to see women fully covered from head to toe and very poor areas. Although that type of lifestyle does exist in the Middle East, I rarely saw it. In the Middle East, I stayed in Amman, Jordan.

The MLA program will provide me with an accommodating schedule to fulfill a degree that will integrate advanced Arabic language courses with political coursework on the Arab world. This, I believe, would be the ideal opportunity to further my passion for Arabic studies in the…

Brian Fishman wrote in the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science this move was a mere media exercise and an attempt to give the group a more Iraqi feel. It was speculated that ISIL was trying to distance themselves from al-Qaeda as well as from some of al-Zarqawi's tactical errors like bombings by AQI of three hotels in Amman in 2005. A U.S. air-strike conducted on June 7th 2006 successfully killed…
