Mogahed embeds her argument by using ethos and introduces herself to the audience with the different classifications she has been labeled, some of which being an “oppressed brainwashed terrorist”(1).

An author and well know American conservative blogger Michelle Malkin wrote an article geared towards conservative American politicians. The article is titled, “Sicko Terrorist Lynne Stewart: Still Hating Cops,” which was published on September 07, 2016. A bias and judgmental Malkin has chosen to degrade former American attorney, Lynne Stewart. The radical activist attorney has been known to represent notorious and unfortunate defendants such as terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman also known as “ The Blind Sheik” who was convicted to life in prison after plotting to blow up several monuments in Manhattan and who is connected with al-Qaeda, Kathy Boudin a professor at Columbia University, also known as the “Weather Underground Bomber” was convicted

If a caucasian person is involved in a shooting, it is not made a big deal, but if a Muslim person is involved in a shooting, they must be a terrorist. Ever since the crusades, there has always been hard feeling between Christians and Muslims. But after various terrorist attacks in the name of Muslim religion, it seems that there are hard feeling between the whole world and Muslims. Muslims are vilified, hated, and even called terrorists. But, is it justified to profile Muslims as terrorists? No, it is not justified to profile muslims as terrorists. Those on both sides all have their own opinion and reasons, being justified or not. Those who say yes are forgetting that not all terrorists are muslims, the muslim religion is not about terrorism, and Islam is actually very similar to Christianity. Common sense tells us that a few terrorists do not define a religion, and Muslims are just as angered at terrorists as everyone else. Profiling all Muslims as terrorists, as natural as it is for some, is contrary to the very basics of the freedom of religion in this country, along with what most consider common sense.

Michael Walzer is a highly accredited Political Theorist and is well known for breaking down ideas with reason. He is the type of person you would expect to apply reason to all situations. In his paper Terrorism: a Critique of Excuses, that terrorism is one of the greatest evils. You may be thinking, “of course everyone knows that.” However, I believe that he is wrong for saying this and that he should reconsider why someone resorts to terrorism.

As children, we grow up in a world filled with make believe superheros and villains, not knowing that there are real-world villains. One in particular has the power to kill two thousand nine hundred and seventy seven in one day. His name is Osama Bin Laden an international terrorist. Bin Laden is the leader of a terrorist group known as the Al Qaeda and brings terror to many countries. He has took the lives of over ten thousand Americans and twenty thousand ‘others’ in thirty four different countries. Some of the country's Bin Laden has brought terror to is Britain, Jordan, Egypt, and Bosnia just to name a few. The most insignificant action Bin Laden took part in was 9/11. Bin Laden was the leader of the attack and ordered Al Qaeda to capture planes and crash them at the world trade center and the pentagon. Instead two planes crashed into the Twin Towers killing two thousand nine hundred seventy seven individuals. This led America to search and murder him for what he has done in our country.

On September 7, 2012, Amal Ahmed Abdullahi 29, was charged with attempted terrorism after threatening her coworkers because she claimed that her place of employment was full of unbelievers. Apparently, she had a conversation with one of her coworkers regarding religion. The statements that she made constituted a possible threat. She stated that, “her people were dying for Allah every day; that she was ready to die for Allah; that this whole country will be Muslim soon; that this country is full of non-believers and that this place (her work

David Rodin claims that, 'the case for both for and against preventative war is made in consequentialist terms' which he believes to be a mistake. Rodin states that, 'Consequentialism suffers from debilitating epistemdpgical problems that renders it effectivly useless as a moral theory of war'. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong however concludeds that conseqentiaism under certain cercumstances can be benifical in preventive war. Sinnott-Armstrong argues that 'conseqentialism raises serious doubts about cases that previously seemed easy might show how illluminating consequentialism is' asserning that this is a virtue not a vice of consequentialism'. Futhermore, Snniott-Armstrong argues that despite Rodins claim that consequentialism is usless in preventive war, that the evidence is there its just a matter of weighing it all together. Although Sinnott-Armstrong admits that Rodin assertion that 'Consequenistialism is frequently a deeply disapointing guide', that

Jihadist...this is a word that most people hear everyday in the news. This term, these groups are evil beings who use fear and distort religion for their own benefit. Now many  Muslims have been faced with startling stereotypes coming from people who are a part of the “civilized” world. The real issue is not just the evil people behind the terrorist acts but, the people who stigmatize Islam while preaching for peace. Islam itself is a very peaceful religion that has similar moral values to the other Abrahamic religions (Judaism and Christianity).

Although the U.S. State Department's and the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a statement indicating there appears to be no association between Hassan and any formal terrorist organization, there might be reason to believe that Hassan may have received assistance from others (Todd & Lavender, 2009). Prior to his shooting spree, intelligence officials had observed at least 18 emails between Hassan and a radical cleric believed to be an al-Qaeda recruiter Anwar al-Awlaki. The content

Osama Bin Laden is dead. The U.S. government has been on his trail for almost 13 years and after America offered $25 million on his head—dead or alive he simply became the target of the largest manhunt ever taken in the history of mankind. But not everyone celebrated Bin Laden’s death. Not everyone saw him as a terrorist, in fact, some thought of him as a hero. Although Bin Laden may be regarded as a hero, but by killing innocent civilians, hijacking the noble religion and culture of Islam, and pushing the Al-Qaeda's mentally challenged individuals as suicide bombers he has to be considered as a true terrorist.

A United Nations testimony affirms how a woman was scorched to death by Islamic State for not agreeing to join ‘sexual jihad.’

In this article, the leader of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is known for keeping a 26 year old woman hostage, and repeatedly raping her. But, as the article informed the reader she wasn’t the only victim. The 26 year old, Kayla Mueller, was repeatedly tortured and raped she was being kept as a sex slave. The group, the Islamic State, captured about 1,000 Yazidi women where they were given the choice to either be with someone in a “marriage” or be imprisoned. They took girls who were around 12 years old, and women to use them as sex slaves. Since, they claimed this was justified because of their religion. As for Kayla Mueller, she passed away earlier this year.

For this end of module assessment I will be looking at the case study of Safia Nazir, her husband Nazir Rashid and their 3 children Taqi, Asif and Amina who live in Scotland and have been bought to the attention of social services for various reasons. I will be demonstrating my understanding of what the social workers role would be in relation to this family, including the skills and knowledge needed to meet the family’s individual needs. The social worker in this case study is called Shona and what I have read of her and her initial steps to work with the family come across as appropriate and professional. I will go into more detail about Shona’s work and my understanding of her role later in the assignment and make potential comparisons or reflect on what I may or may not do differently. I will consider issues in relation to my personal and professional values and will also refer to policy and practice from English legislation; as this is my country of practice. I will be focusing on early intervention and the initial steps in social work, such as making contact, meeting and the initial assessment.
