In an article by Jareen Imam, they write “Movements such as GreenGraffiti, which uses pressurized water to leave behind clean messages and images on the streets of New York, or the increasing use of commercial graffiti, where street artists are hired to create graffiti-based…

In this paper I would like to explain the first Crusade and the conquest of Jerusalem using both Muslim and Christian sources, and to focus on pointing out the taking of the city and the similarities and differences in these sources. As Ibn Al-Athir was a bystander for the Third Crusade. He is the most accurate narrative from the Muslim point of view for the three crusades and he was able to write the history of the Muslim world. The franks overthrow Jerusalem by moving on to there after…

The person that I interviewed is from the Wolof people group and is from the Gambia/Senegal region of West Africa. She had lived there in the urban setting for a good majority of her life, but has also had good amount of western influence.

Education is indeed accessible but only a few are given the opportunity and willingness to acquire it. Yet, notwithstanding, a religion has come in power to take such freedom and denial from women. This so called religion “Islam” with its believers are dutifully inflicting so much pains to those that refuse to subject to their words (Prophet Mohammed) and…

contract money (estimated at 1.6 billion dollars), returned or they wanted the hardware. This of course was the latest in a series of crisis since the new administration had taken control in America in 2008. Pash did not know what Putin had on Obama, but it had to be something big. For the US President to withdraw the missile system in Eastern Europe, allow Syria to go unchecked, and Putin to annex Crimea was in a word incomprehensible.
