Middle Eastern countries have adopted it, while others have not. ISIS believes that this radical way of living is the best way to combat the influences of the Western world in their communities. They have law enforcement that will stone people in the streets and behead those who disobey the laws. Muslims relate to this because they feel that the Western culture has had a negative impact on the tenants of their religion and they are trying to attract people back to the holy ways of Islam.

Negative Effects of Media in the United States Although US media originally started as entertainment or biased news, the impact of it is becoming a substantial problem because of misrepresentation. The main purpose of the media is to inform people by choosing what is important and then providing the information; however, the way it fulfills its purpose in the modern world is detrimental to the overall knowledge of the public.

major ways Muhammad Ali changed our country was because of his actions in the Persian Gulf War. In 1990, a tragic event happened in the world known as the Persian Gulf War.

I attended the Beyond Burkas and Bombers discussion. We watched the Beyond Burkas and Bombers documentary which showed Muslim Americans talk about how their lives changed when 911 occurred.
