We left Iraq, my family and I, in 2014 after the fight that was started between ISIL and the government forces in our city, Ramadi. I received a scholarship that time from Edith Cowan University to undergo a PhD degree, and therefore, I applied for a student visa for me and for my family, and the visa was granted on October 2014. We arrived in Australia - Perth on 17 / 11/ 2014. The fight was enormous and the situation was very dangerous in Ramadi and we were threaten by ISIL that controlled the…

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, commonly known as ISIS, has created turmoil throughout the already war torn areas of the Middle East. They have captured multiple towns from central Iraq to the southern border of Turkey. ISIS is a terrorist organization that has carved out land in order to create a new state based on the ideological stance that state and church should be intertwined, also known as a caliphate or “the rank or reign of a caliph,” where the laws of the state are directly…

When I visited Iraq, I saw families who lived in tents in the scorching hot desert. The intense poverty was nothing like I had seen in person before. Most Americans can only imagine what a country such as Iraq, which is plagued with corruption and war, is like. When I visited Iraq, the country exposed me to the horrors it possesses. I experienced a country that was struggling from past corrupt dictators and a military invasion. This experience helped me realize what horrors go on that the…

This incident was recorded as The Hood Event in the history. The Hood Event caused the biggest crisis in the partnership…

instability in the Middle East and the rise of ISIS as a global threat. Volatility in the Middle East began long ago with a centuries-old schism involving Sunni and Shia Islamists. ISIS is a present-day Sunni jihadist group, targeting Shia in Syria and Iraq. The group also threatens anyone who is “targeted as an ‘apostate’ or ‘polytheist’ or who is simply against its rule.” Cockburn brings to light the sudden rise of this new insurgency, the lack of concern from the general public, and the…

ISIS has taken over Syria and Iraq and has altered the way of life of many Iraqis and Syrians. The people that live under ISIS’ rule have been affected by many different things. If ISIS leaders decide they do not like something you do, you will most likely be beaten, abused, or killed for doing it. They also do not give them enough time for using their water, giving only 2 hours a day for a city to shower at a community shower. The suffering is much greater than what is shown in popular western…

Some of the most prevalent issues of current society come from the constant threat of terrorism. Until more recently though, the word terrorism did not command the same respect that it does today. Before the attacks of September 11th, 2001, the Congress’s various intelligence committees barely ever held meetings to discuss the topic (Miller). However, after the attacks, the threat of terrorism appeared in many situations. This threat did not just intimidate the government though. Afraid to…

The beginning of ISIS began with the reign and terror of Saddam Hussein who intended to systematically exterminate Iraq society (Chalabi).
