Catastrophe

people of that day viewed the Mongols. As I was reading I came across many of Al-Athir’s assumptions.

one another and the act of being kind for one another has been a very topical subject recently. More often than ever, it seems, I see friends, family, celebrities, politicians, express thoughts of “giving up” on humanity after hearing of a new catastrophe that happened through terrorist acts, or some other atrocity.

Citizens strongly desired the freedom to practice any religion of their choice, to speak freely without restriction or unethical consequence, and to have a say in certain decisions the government could make. What better place would offer these things than the New World’s very own United States of America? During the later years of the eighteenth century to the…

The process of Israel becoming a country began with the British mandate. The British mandate was a process that would declare the land of palestine as a safe haven for Jewish people. In 1947, the jewish settlements caused the Arabic natives to be moved to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

This lead to Israel becoming a country after the war and being accepted by the United…

Los Angeles. Not even forty-six minutes of straight flight the plane had struck the north tower. The plane hitting the tower was no accident, but was hijacked by Mohammed Atta; one of the members of al-Qaeda.
