possibility (Jenkins, 2015). Currently, the al Nusra is also likely to be used by the original AQ leadership to attempt attacks in the US through the use of foreign-based fighters. Given the large number of fighters from the West who have gone to fight the jihad war in Syria and Iraq (Gray, 2015), it is only natural to expect that AQ might be planning to make use of these fighters, upon their return to their home countries in the West, to launch spectacular attacks there. Therefore, the issue of…
of the conviction which the maximum vicious outbreak on US territory was prearranged by al-Qaeda, media consideration had been focused on that one’s forerunner, Osama bin Laden, who was alleged by way of a mainstream Muslim resolute to abolish non-Islamic humanities. Islam was being considered as enemy of the west, the world is exposed as going to a confrontation of civilization—the leading Christian world at warfare with a bourgeoning…
forth in the Art of War. As Sun Tzu states in his tenth maxim “those skilled in war subdue the enemy’s army without battle” (480). Eventually, the U.S. may be able to assert dominance over radical Islamic sections of the Middle East that peace can be restored by subduing war criminals from radical Islamic upbringing that threaten many nations. Many can argue that these possible war criminals may encompass civilians which avoids the overall goal of peace. Which very well may be true, but the…
Persecution against American Muslims have soared to an all time high after 9/11 attacks. In Arthur Miller’s, The Crucible people are persecuted for “conspiring with the devil”. In the play, the minority is sought out and persecuted. This play was meant to represent the Red Scare in the 1950’s. The minority is sought out, oppressed, and treated unfairly by the authority. To accomplish my purpose of showing this of happening, I will describe the likenesses and differences between The Crucible, The…
accepted beliefs and renders an individual more receptive to the possibility of alternative views and perspectives.” The crisis can instigate a cognitive opening. This can take a variety of forms, depending on the individual, but when related to Islamic movements, the cognitive openings tend to be “economic (losing a job, blocked mobility), social or cultural (sense of cultural weakness, racism, humiliation), and/or political (repression, torture, political discrimination)” as well as…
race wanted to build a mosque some two blocks from an event that took place? Well since the 9-11 attacks many Americans have struggled to build a healthy bond with the Islamic World. This was very visible during the idea of Park 51 located in New York city 2 blocks from where Ground Zero is located. Park 51’s real name was the Islamic Center but was later changed to Park 51 due to its location on street Park 51. Park 51 was thought of by Sharif El-Gamal. He got the idea from a Jewish community…
there were 24000 terrorists in the United States because media channels implied that individuals that caused terror believed in death for a cause the way to seeing the lord. With this an assumption of all Muslims being terrorists rose. Church in “Jihad” and Altheide both go on to mention how the fears created by media helped the bush administration in using tax money, changing policies to make randomized interrogation permitted and basically making the war a…
The terrorist organization Al Qaida was established in 1988 in Pakistan by Osama ben Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. The term al Qaida refers both to the physical base of the organization in Afghanistan and to the database to identify volunteers for jihad. Most of the Jihadist are all young men between the ages of 20 and 31. They are almost all from large siblings (cf. analyses of Dr. Rik Chopra for the Guardian, echoes 11/2015). And they were almost all raised in a relative absence of paternal…
some individual engage with Islamic radicalism movement? What explains their initial interest? Why do they want to be joined in this risky activism? Even if the cost is high and might be they will sacrifice themselves. Wiktorowicz, with his sophisticated theoretical framework of social movement theory, is tries to answers these questions, why Muslim extremism in the Western societies like Great Britain did these?
