Islam. Our allusion towards terror and violence arises questions why does this happen. Though for some it may sound absurd and ridiculous we can credit these misleading connotations to our most "reliable" source; Media. Media acting as a bridge between nations and religions has become rusted and unreliable. Constant discrimination against Islam can be found on an everyday tabloid, social sites or even late night TV shows. Our reliance on Media for facts and information about other religions has…

threat to their country. Extremists use the opportunity to spew empty rhetoric to inhabitants within their country that Western civilization is enforcing their own interest upon our nation to relinquish an organization they know so little about.

Nobody likes to be accused of something that they did not do and America is no exception. Trust is lost and enemies are created when a nation fosters deception and chooses to spy on those who do not deserve…

asking for “God’s reward” and “support from Him” as he replies to Americans. Bin Laden uses an “us versus them”, or “Islam versus the US” approach in his response. He references the United States’ support of Israel and Judaism and how it brings “laughter and tears” to watch the US continue to delegitimize Islam as the owners of Palestine, even though “Muslims are the most worthy nation” to control this disputed land.

Significant events such as the September 11, 2001 attacks…

I feel as though being around these people and understanding them as people instead of just over looking them because their religion…

United States and Europe with terror supporting tyrannical government like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are as much a cover for terrorism as the Muslims who carry the ideology that was established on terror (Bronson). From one side, there are Islamic nations that are in a complete chaos who seem like they still not have not realized that their past must be cleansed up in order for the present…

the introduction of the Pioneers of the Islamic Revival: “Islamic Revivalism …is characterized by a renewed interest in Islam as an endogenous ideology with redeeming powers. For the born-again Muslim the Qur’an and the Tradition of the Prophet provide fundamental sources from which solutions for pressing contemporary socio-political and economic powers could be deduced.
