them different from each other? ISIS and Al Qaeda have the same beliefs, but their targets are different. ISIS wants to create a new “Islamic caliphate”. A caliphate is a very powerful political and religious leader that claims he is the new successor after the last Islamic leader, Muhammad (PBUH). They want to create a unified Muslim area that has extreme Islamic beliefs. (Also known as Sharia Law). This can be frightening because they are the most known and scariest terrorist organizations in…

The world is run by communication and influence from the top tiers of politicians down to the underground terrorist groups. In order to control the hearts and minds of followers, one must maintain a strong consistent message that inspires people from many walks of life (Immelman, 2002, p. 4). Osama bin Laden was an enthusiastic communicator who grew a small terrorist group into a large terrorist network by maintaining a strong narrative with al Qaeda, affiliated groups, and the world at large.…

years that he is either mentally unstable, incredibly ignorant, or an extreme Muslim sympathizer like we’ve never seen in the White House. I hope other Americans are waking up after the pathetic Presidential address to the nation about the Orlando Islamic terror attack. It’s time to talk frankly. Obama’s speech was the most insulting, revolting & embarrassing speech EVER by an American president. It made me sick to my stomach. Obama is the commander-in-chief. He certainly knows far more…

Correspondingly, Islamophobia increased drastically after 9/11, thousands of innocent Muslims have been victim to hate crimes, and hundreds have been killed. The term "Islamophobia" reflects the largely unexamined and deeply ingrained anxiety many Americans experience when considering Islam and Muslim cultures (Varisco, 2009). Many have associated the religion of Islam with terrorism and have target and profile those who follow the religion. In recent months, incidents of Islamophobia have…

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 “personal,”…

Dr. Abdullah Yusuf Azzam was of colossal importance to the development of Islamic militant radicalism and his ideas were a significant foundational support of the establishment and structure of al-Qaeda. Azzam was born in 1941 in Jenin, Palestine, where previously to Azzam’s birth, the British under the Balfour Declaration of 1917 was under the obligation of providing and maintaining in Palestine, a nation for the home of the Jewish people. This declaration was made between the Foreign Secretary…

When thinking of terrorism, the first person that probably comes to mind is Osama Bin Laden. He was the leader of a terrorist group Al-Qaeda, who caused the deaths of many innocent people, including 3,000 Americans. His extreme hatred towards Western society cause him to commit these horrible crimes, which got him on the FBI’s most wanted list. Bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011 by US forces at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Even though he contributed to Saudi Arabia’s economy, his…

Narrative The assassination of Osama Bin Laden(OBL) on May 2 , 2011 will be remembered as one of the most painstaking & complicated Intelligence covert operations of our times . The hunt for OBL was massive & relentless in the aftermath of September 11,2001 attacks which he acknowledged to have planned , financed and executed . For the subsequent decade that followed the shocking attacks , OBL seized every opportunity to rejoice over murdering thousands of innocent lives and…

screening religious groups for terrorists often mires attempts to counter this new mode of warfare. One editorial asks why the President has chosen to “stop targeting...the gravest domestic terrorist threat to Americans and to focus instead solely on Islamic terrorism” (factsstillmatter-cite), concluding that it is a political move to keep support. True or not, increased attempts to thwart terrorism are needed. Wartime should entail some disengagement from politics to focus on preserving life.…

There is no way that xenophobia does not exist in the contemporary world, you can see it in political campaigns and when an epidemic threatens western civilization. However, The Walking Dead is not an example of xenophobia. The graphic novel The Walking Dead shows a civilization trying to come back after a zombie apocalypse, in which they are living in complete survival mode and never know what is coming for them next. Some people believe that The Walking Dead only has to do with humanity's…
