Islamic terrorism

Terrorism is an extremely prevalent problem in the world today. Every month there is news of a bombing in some city, or a shooting in some neighborhood, and Western media has made Islam the face of terrorism. While Jihadists only make up a fraction of the proponents of terrorism, the media has caused “terrorism” to be synonymous with “Muslim.” Even understandable acts of rebellion, like the liberation movement of Palestine against Israel, are seen as Islamic radicalism because misguided…

Caliphate was once a word many Americans had never heard before. Caliphate has now become a household word since the troubling and quick ascension of the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS). The word itself represents the rule of a Caliph. This Caliph can rule a land mass, a government, or a mass of people. In the case of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, it is lands and cities in Northern Iraq. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is the current Caliph of ISIS. He is the so-called only “legitimate successor to the…

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…

The United States is blamed for some of this blasphemy; therefore,the nation is targeted by Muslim terrorist groups. The partnership of the United State’s Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, 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 become common. In numerous occasion Americans are caught on camera screaming and harassing individuals mainly women wearing their…

Oliver Goldsmith used satire to rile their contemporaries against flaws in their society. Today's writers rarely possess the literary genius and flair these two men had, but the topics they cover are often similar. Controversies of personal identity, terrorism, and climate change, all common in the news today, share many aspects of the social issues that Swift and Goldsmith dealt with in their time. Identity politics concerns the large number of activist movements that analyze and publicize…

The American people have a very clear idea of what terrorism looks like. What we also have a clear idea of is what reactions to terrorism typically look like. Terrorism is not a new phenomenon, and it has repeatedly led to the same end: politicians and policy makers using the public’s fear for its safety to push their own agendas. The recent terror attacks in Paris provide the American people with a chance to spark a new conversation about terrorism, and hopeful presidential candidates with an…

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…
