Arguments Against ISIS

Tactics to induce terror in pursuit of a political goal have been utilized by a multitude of organizations across the globe. This method of power control is known as terrorism, and due to its impact and unpredictability, it is highly feared and monitored today in the 21st century. Attacks of this nature stem from radical beliefs of religion, ethics, or other politics, and have been carried out globally, ranging from the 9/11 attack in New York City to the 2015 shooting in Paris, France. Terrorism over recent years has grown despite an abundance of efforts by many nations and international organisations to stop development of such groups. This growth is partially attributed to advances in digital technology and the furtherment of communication techniques, such as social media and web-based content, which has allowed for the spread of these radical ideas across the planet making it difficult to control the advancement of these beliefs (Council on Foreign Relations, 2009). Terrorism will never be able to be fully stopped due to the abstract nature and ideology from which terrorism originates.

One of the factors that define what the experience of these incoming asylum seekers will be like is how the citizens of the welcoming country treat them. Therefore it is important to consider how after 9/11, the opinions of citizens towards immigration has changed. Gail Stewart talks about, how civilians were told that the perpetrators of the attacks were immigrants from the Middle East, who obtained legal visas; therefore it created a sense of discrimination in the face of civilians and policy makers. Stewart talks about the differing ideas of people. Some suggested that the country should go as far as, “keeping the borders closed” (Stewart, 2004). Meanwhile others feel like the whole idea of the US is based on welcoming immigrants, and “The greatest victory for Osama bin Laden, of course, would be if America lost faith in its openness" (Stewart, 2004). The road the government decided to take is requiring a much more detailed background check, for anyone seeking to immigrate to

The United States is fronting the conflict against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant; therefore, we feel strongly inclined to support the inhibition of online recruiting tactics used by ISIL. Previous attempts to thwart the online presence of ISIL have been misguided and incomprehensive - and have thus faltered against high expectations. Our reasoning for this stance is because in the past year alone, an estimated hundreds of recruits have joined ISIL through online mediums - additionally, ISIL has encouraged and coaxed recruits into committing domestic

In his editorial, Miliband criticizes Pres. Trump’s decision to ban immigrants from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and some other Middle Eastern countries. Miliband does not find immigrants from these foreign countries as an endangerment to the American society but simply seeking safety in security in this country, he argues this policy through factual evidence. The author makes an ethos appeal for his

Atwan and others who trenchantly talked about the position of the internet in al-Qaeda 's progression collects evidence of vast amounts of jihadist online activity to craft their case. Chat rooms, emails and Web sites all bristle with jihadist discussion, dissemination, and debate, providing resources vital to individuals studying al-Qaeda. However, the real centrality of such virtual movement to al-Qaeda and its acts of terrorism remains a relatively unexplored theory in these intellectual accounts of the internets

Four years ago, a civil war erupted in Syria after President Assad’s security forces fired into a group of peaceful protester, killing several of them (Syria), and starting a conflict that has rocked the stability of the world today. Now, as we go into the beginning of 2016, the world faces a refugee crisis unlike any other, and pressure is being put on many of the the world powers to give Syrian refugees a safe haven inside their countries. However, with taking in these refugees comes risk. America has always been a beacon for immigrants of all races and ethnicities for ages, but with the rise of a new terrorist group, with an obvious vendetta against America, the United States is having a difficult time determining whether or not it is safe to let these refugees into the country. Americans are faced with a decision. We can close ranks and turn helpless people away out of fear, leaving them to die or suffer some other unknown horrible fate, or we can put our fear aside and embrace these people with open yet cautious arms.

Over the past year or two, newspapers, radio stations, and news broadcasts have been covering the rapid ascent of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS. But they have spread far beyond those material boundaries, reaching into the minds and homes of young people across the globe. These young people are led to believe that ISIS is saving the world, not harming it and that they must partake in the fight for religious dictatorship. They are instructed over the internet to perform acts of terrorism in their own country, known as domestic terrorism. Due to the dramatic increase in terrorist activity

During the outbreak of the first World War, the British army consists of about only 247,432 regular troops. But only half of those men were available to fight in France as part of the British Expeditionary Force, as the rest of them were either stationed elsewhere throughout the British Empire, or protecting the home front. This is a clear sign that the British army needed more men to enlist in order to defeat the German army. On the 7th of August, 1914, Lord Kitchener began a recruiting campaign. His main goal is to provoke the anti-German feeling, mainly by producing propaganda posters.

Everyday innocent people are dying for no reason. A rising terrorist group called Isis is responsible for this and they need to be stopped.A group called Isis has been active since 1999 but most recently has seen a huge growth. So far little has been to stop them and it is time to do more about it. I’m not talking about more air strikes it is time to step up our game and send ground troops to defeat these monster once and for all. Isis is responsible for many death and many horrific terrorist attacks. According to a CNN poll 68% say America's military response to the terrorist group thus far has not been aggressive enough. In this paper we will look at that America thinks it time to send ground troops, how people don't think Obama doing enough, and finally all the harm Isis is doing.The U.S need to send ground troops to fight Isis.

The refugee crisis is a hotly debated and controversial topic all over the globe relevant to today. The rising number of refugees arriving in the European Union has significantly increased throughout the past few years. The controversy comes from not the refugees themselves, but from where they are emigrating from. Coming from extremely hostile and dangerous countries operated by the Islamic State militants, there is a sense of hysteria from the opposing side saying that there are risks that need to be factored in when accepting such a large amount of people from places where there are high concentrations of terrorism into their home countries. On the other side of the argument, the advocates for refugees are proclaiming that as humans we have moral obligations to give the quintessential helping hand to humans whenever one is in need, regardless of their situation or circumstances. Through social activism these proponents are seeking to

According to a poll over 48% of Americans support the ban on refugees, whereas 42% do not (Nearly Half of American Voters Support Trump’s Immigration Order). As can be seen, many Americans believe that refugees pose a threat to the American way of life in one way or another. Refugee discrimination can be seen across the United States, it is not made up. Unfortunately, this is caused by a tragic past and background influenced by only a few individual terrorists.This is worsened by the urgent crisis of refugees. Refugees, some extremely unlucky people, are displaced across the world (Appositive). Many Americans are against the idea of letting new people into the country for fear of these attacks,

New Year’s, Istanbul. 39 dead. Suspect yet to be found. Devastating headlines like these have become common in the years following September 11, 2001, and in the wake of the war on terrorism, there has emerged a less vocal war; the war on immigrants. So in a time and age where terrorism is not something unknown but rather sadly familiar, we must ask ourselves to what extent fear from terrorists attacks impact the American Society’s views towards immigrants. Terrorist attacks have deeply resonated in the minds and hearts of many Americans, leading them to develop unfair and irrational views towards immigrants, the scapegoats of all the pain and anger attacks have caused. Through a social perspective, it can be seen that through xenophobia, racism, stereotypes, prejudice and the theory of a folk devil, Americans denounce those not similar to them.

In this paper, I will be discussing the recent political issue about the ban imposed on refugees from the Muslim-dominant nations into the United States. The current president of the United States, Donald Trump, on the 27th of January 2017 issued an executive order banning immigrants from seven countries into the United States. The issue that informed the ban was the security threat that the immigrants posed to the United States because most terrorist groups have an Islamic background. While this move by the president might have been backed with the best of intentions from the top of the government, it stirred up a lot of commotion from the citizens and humanitarian organizations questioning the morality and the justification of the order.

Without a doubt, the topic of immigration and refugees is a pressing matter around the globe. With more than 60 million individuals displaced around the world and 41 million immigrants currently living in the United States, there is an international movement of individuals rather by choice or not. In the United States, the topic of immigration and refugees has been at the forefront of the upcoming presidential election; however, although and this topic is at the lead of most news, Americans are undereducated and misinformed about many of the key terms and concepts about immigrants and refugees. Due to the various misconceptions Americans hold, many citizens not open to welcoming more immigrants or refugees into the country. To explain, according to the Pew Research center, 51% of Americans believe immigrants are beneficial to the country, while 41% believe immigrants are a burden to our country (Krogstad, 2015).

As the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria continues its jihadist rampage across the Middle East, a possible genocide is unfolding that few in the West seem to notice. With all eyes on the recent Israeli offensive in Gaza, ISIS has continued its own offensive in Iraq virtually unchallenged, leaving thousands of Christians and Shia Muslims dead in its wake. Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq and a historic site for Middle Eastern Christians, fell to ISIS in June, forcing thousands in the area to evacuate for fear of their lives.
