A Look into the Life of Waleed Bin Talal

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of property (happiness)” is a familiar phrase known from the United States’ Declaration of Independence. It says that we believe these are the three inalienable rights of all human beings and that it is the government’s job to protect these absolute privileges. Extensive advocation of these inalienable rights of man date back to the time of John Locke, over 300 years ago. In Emile Habiby’s novel, The Secret Life of Saeed the Pessoptimist, we meet Saeed, a Palestinian who becomes a citizen of Israel. Through his stories we are shown the inequality Arabs in Israel face and how the ‘inalienable’ rights we take for granted are being withheld from Israeli Arabs.

Osama Bin Laden, seventeenth son among fifty brothers and sisters, was born on 1957 in Saudi Arabia. Mohammed Awad Bin Laden, Osama Bin Laden’s father, was a rich man who owned a large construction company. His family’s company was the largest in the kingdom of King Saud from Saudi Arabia. After Mohammed built a good relationship with the royal family, the king issued a decree that all construction projects should go to Bin Laden. As his father was having a good jog in the kingdom, Osama had his primary and secondary education in Jeddah. In Osama’s early years, age 13, he experienced the loss of his father, who had

Osama Bin Laden, a Saudi, grew up in a very strict religious house hold; He was fathered by the rich Muhammed Bin Laden. Muhammed owned a construction company named the Bin Laden Construction Company, whose projects included palaces for the king of Saudi Arabia, power plants, tunnels, and roads. In an interview in 1997 Osama said “I started working with my father when I was a child” He told of how he had been involved in the project that was responsible for the expansion of a mosque in Jerusalem. It is there where he was trained in using explosives for the purpose of the demolition of mountains. When Osama was just ten years old, he lost his father due to a fatal plane crash.

Before 2001, al-Qaeda, an Islamist militant organization founded by Osama bin Laden, had proven itself a security menace to both the West and the Muslim world. Achieving its height of power in 2001, the group and its Taliban allies were on the verge of taking over Afghanistan (Longest, 7). Then the group made a central mistake: It choose to wage an offensive jihad attack against the United States on American soil. For a time after 9/11, al-Qaeda appeared largely victorious from the devastation left behind of their ruthless exploit; but instead, the craven act would prove to be the beginning of the terrorist organization’s demise.

Another detracting force in Arab nations came under the curse of oil money.  In the 1970's a new class of rich came out of the rise of oil in the Middle East.  As Zaharia states, "[wealth] has enriched and empowered the gulf governments so that, like their Arab brethren, they too have become more repressive over time" (28).  Many of these countries ruled by those who have the oil money "are close American allies" (Zaharia 27).  Many of the rulers such as Gamal Abd el Nasser, the President of Egypt and King Fahd of Saudi Arabia were leaders of monarchies who controlled all the wealth in the land.  In fact, Osama bin Laden's father was among those who became greatly wealthy from oil.  The common people who were living in poverty and oppressive conditions saw their leaders adopting Western signs of wealth: suits, cars, and education in the west-mainly Britain.  This type of environment fueled hatred of America, because it was the model these leaders were following and they eventually became allies with the United States.  So, it is possible that this hatred must be one of the causes of recent attacks.

Numerous books and articles happen to be discussed leaders, who made choices that performed significant effects on the country and also the world. Leaders in the military, business community and sports have performed crucial impacts in route we live our way of life. Their legacy’s survive in giving others the inspiring and inspirational drive to get great leaders.

Do you know about the man on the Iraqi 10 Dollar bill? His name is Ibn al-Haytham but most people call him Alhazen. He was a scientist from the golden age of the Muslim civilization. Alhazen was mostly known for his work in physics, mathematics, optics, and the scientific method. In medieval Europe, he was known as “The Physicist.” His research on how the eyes work led to the discovery of cameras and many more modern technologies.

The final chapter of this controversial book is about all the reason behind the current invasion of Iraq by U.S. government. All the EHM were failed in Iraq, all jackals were failed too. So young people were killed and sent to far off desert to die. If Saddam bought out by corporatocracy and he accepted their terms he would still are alive today. He should permit US firms to maintain his chemical plants, trade his arms, let him to kill innocent people to show power and violate human rights. The invasion of Iraq put a huge question mark on the royal of Saud. If US conquer Iraq which has more oil than any country, then Saudi Arabia will be of less importance for them. Perkins declared that US dollar is the root

During the early history of Islam, the Arabian Peninsula was transformed due to the rise of Islam. Thanks to the increase of Islam across the Arabian Peninsula, Arabs were able to construct an enormous empire after the death of Mohammod due to several reasons. The reasons include having a shared faith, Arab citizens found wealth and social promotion in the military, the Persian and Byzantine empires were weakened, and expansion of the empire became a shared task among the Arab community (Strayer 369-71). One of the ways the Arabs were able to construct their empire so rapidly is because the shared faith in Islam enabled the new organized state to mobilize the military protentional all throughout the Arab population (Strayer 371). Arab citizens/individuals found great wealth and social promotion by being a part of the military and having the same religious beliefs (Strayer 369).

The Tahltan Nation consists of approximately 5000 members, with around 1,500 members choosing to live within their traditional territory (Davis, 2011, p. 26) in the communities of Iskut, Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek (fig. 1). In a territory rich in resources, Tahltan First Nations have lived in relationship with the land since “time immemorial” (Davis, 2011, p. 21). In the movie, Koneline – Our Land Beautiful, Oscar Dennis explained that the letter K is a personal pronoun for land, indicating that the land has personality. “Dena nenn Sogga neh ‘ine” or “Protectors or Keepers of the Land” is a phrase that both elders and band councils have used to describe their connection

One minor solution that anyone is able to accomplish is making people aware of what is going on in the world. We are constantly caught up in our own lives that we are rarely given the chance to observe what's going on in the world that we are living in. Spreading awareness and getting more people involved in organizations to help out others all over the world, especially in the Middle East that are constantly being attacked in their home towns. Not only will this be helping them, but it will also grow some kind of positive connection with them and hopefully they eventually not everyone will perceive the United States as an unpleasant or an unwelcoming nation. (“How the United States is perceived in the Arab and Muslim Worlds, 1.)

Some matters do not exist by its own but there are always some factors which give them existence. Human beings are born with rights, passions, interests, feelings, incredible characters and the most intelligent creature on the earth. But, unfortunately, these human beings have become diffident and victims of their own huge development and inventions. The new discoveries are happening constantly somewhere around the globe but the history never forget the past histories. One such example is Ghosts of Abu Ghraib. This thesis reveals that United States military police serving as protectors at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq abused, tortured, raped, and murdered prisoners. This behavior can be understood sociologically as a consequence of the socially constructed reality manufactured by U.S. government officials. This experiment was supposed to schedule for two weeks but was stopped after only six days due to unnecessary and extreme mental and physical exploitation and the effects on the prisoners by the protectors.

The Sunni tale focuses on the allegedly “democratic” selection that led to Abu Bakr’s rise, touting him as the leader on whom the people agreed. Some academics speculate, based on existing accounts, that this election was conducted amongst a small group of tribal leaders who actively prevented Ali’s participation by involving him with the task of caring for a dying Muhammad. Some even task Abu Bakr and Omar’s children (including Aisha) with distracting Ali to the point of intentional obstruction. This remains the primary disagreement between Sunni and Shi’a Islam.

The prince is responsible for selling natural gas drilling rights to the Chinese, thus angering the Americans. Furthermore, the Prince’s father, the emir, has good relations with America and allows them to keep military personal in his country. The allowance of US troops is of specific value in comparison, notably, with Saudi Arabia. This is a major sore spot for many fundamentalists as it is viewed as a military occupation of holy grounds. Osama bin-Laden is known for brandishing this point as a major reason for hating America (Zeiden 2001). It also angers Prince Nasir, who believes in reforms to move his country away from dependence on oil and foreign nations. This is noticeably in opposition to American oil interests, so they subsequently bomb the Prince as he attempts to secure the throne away from his brother (emir content with continuing former policies). US interference in Middle Easter politics is extremely common. America, and other European nations, has supported both oppressive regimes and military coups to secure oil interests (Zunes; Pitz, Lecture Modern Iran). In doing so, they have blocked the path to democracy and self-determination for many nations.

The Muqaddimah is a thirteenth century historical and sociological work that was written by one of the greatest historians at the time, Ibn Khaldun. His work was used all the way up until the 19th century because no other work has given so much in-depth detail to the history and society of the Middle East in the Middle Ages and prior to that. Ibn Khaldun has read more first-hand references to what really did happen, and understands how the Caliphates fell within the Middle East. He is very critical of other historians, but this is what makes him so accurate at this point in time. He comes up with theories
