Nation of Islam

Throughout all cultures in history, religion has been and is the most influential and controlling power humanity utilizes. In most cases religion is a good tool used to enrich people 's lives and make them better as a whole, but too often religion is used to manipulate and control.

speech, dated to 1994, bin Laden is already sounding the notes that reverberate throughout this collection: the entire Muslim world is under seige, from Afghanistan, to Palestine, to Iraq, to Chechnya and Bosnia; the humiliation (and emasculation) of Islam by the western world is the implicit goal. Now, clearly, one can quarrel with his analysis, but such a message has broad appeal.

negative stereotypes about Muslims just by how they look. What I have heard is they are terrorists, should be deported, be burned, and other bad comments. This made me choose to research Trump’s travel ban. Trumps travel ban is trying to protect our nation from foreign terrorist attacks, but some people think that it is discrimination against Muslims.

The intention of this law, according to French legislators, was to keep France unified in terms of being secular, individualist, and homogeneous; the singularity of the nation was challenged by religion, a “private” matter, being present in the public sphere.

actions of terrorist violence seem to have a religious motivation to them, but often the violent actions themselves go against the teachings of these religions and are rather an out of context generalisation of these teachings. For religions such as, Islam, Christianity, and Catholicism, they have been used multiple times as a powerful source of motivation to terrorist violence, in events such as the crusades and gunpowder plot, and also from terrorist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and…
