Research Paper On Na Fort Hood Shootings

Major events have crafted the United States and other nations into what they are today. Going from world wars in the 1940’s, to civil rights movements in the 1960’s, to extravagant national debt today, have all played a part in shaping our nation. Being from rural Mississippi, world news being made here is uncommon. We see all of our major news from televisions or newspapers, and this “news” is all happening elsewhere, far from here. Whether it is a good thing that we do not make the big news or not, the fear of uncertain events still lingers. From shootings in schools to bombings in cities, we are fortunate for being seemingly far from these dangers. Even though no physical effects pertain to me, mental pain and fear stays and leaves doubt

Forty-five nationwide shootings occurred in the year 2015 where numerous innocent children were killed by cold, hearted adults. Enough is enough with these unforgivable tragedies happening again and again. No matter what schools say about ways already enforced, it is obviously not working because since the well-known shooting of Sandy Hook there has been 142. School is a place to teach and give knowledge to students in a happy, healthy setting. When kids are going to school they are not happy to learn when schools have tendencies to be attacked by an insider or outsider. Children are dying, the future of America are being killed in a place where they are forced to go by law. Loving parents send these children in hopes to

The “mold of a Muslim post 9/11 was anyone fitting the description of a Muslim, which was wearing a hijab for women and wearing a turban for men. If you went to a mosque, which was the Muslim house of worship, you were considered a Muslim. Anyone who fit that “mold” had a red flag put on them. For example, Rasha and her family were arrested and detained by the FBI in the middle of the night, “because they were being investigated for possible terrorism connections” (21). Due to the heightened level of security after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 committed by Muslim extremist; this family was targeted because of their religious beliefs. Ironically, the Muslim extremism that the terrorists of 9/11 depicted was a direct contrast of the true core Muslim values of honesty and compassion that Muslims are taught in their families. For instance, when she was young, Rasha’s parents taught her “the simple values of honesty, compassion and protecting her honor” (17). Readers can see that Rasha’s family valued their Muslim heritage and brought her up to value them as

I have been a student in the Thomas County School System ever since I started pre-school. During my time here, I have loved every minute of it, learning and having great experiences with friends and teachers here. Over the last four years of my high school experience, I have noticed that there have been more threats of bombings and shootings around the nation. Even though we do have a safe school and take precautions, there is still room for error. I am proposing that we make school a safer place for kids to learn by installing bulletproof glass as well as door-stoppers in each class.

The association operates the mosque attended by the family of Ahmed Mohamed, the suburban Dallas student who became a sensation on social media after word spread about his clock and the way he was treated.

Muslims are one of the most marginalized people in the U.S for their beliefs and their religion but after 9/11 discrimination and hate crimes against them had become even worse.Throughout the U.S people have been “Anti-Islam” and believed that the Muslim’s religion is absurd, want muslims to change their beliefs or, leave the country.According to “Anti-Islman Discourse in the United States in the Decade After 9/11:The Role of Social Conservatives and Cultural Politics”by David D.Belt on page 211-212, talks about how a post on Charisma News with an article title “Why I am Absolutely Islamophobic” was urging at the fact that Muslim-Americans needed to be deported as soon as possible ,or go under sterilization.Also Belt talks about one of Bush’s family friend being,Franklin Graham saying that he thinks the muslim’s religion is “very evil “and “wicked”.One last example a man named Gabriel had said Islam is the real enemy of America and that we supposedly “we will be doomed in war if we don’t realize it”. People are so brainwashed it honestly insane and very ignorant at the things people think about Muslims, its barbaric.They believe what Muslims believe in and their religion is wrong and they should switch to “Christianity” because it is the “American way “ or have them deported because the do not belong there and are “terrorist”.

The Parkland Shooting occurred at Douglas High School, Florida, United States, north of Miami. The incident occured Wednesday February 14 2018 (Nicole Chavez, 2018, p. 5).

American society is prone to violence and no one is safe from the possibility of becoming a victim to crime. Every day the news covers stories that is filled with public violence or the brutal death of someone. Some believe that people commit crimes with the belief that they will not get caught. Other expect the violence and have become resilient to bad news. Society wants to understand the insanity of criminals. Many perpetrators kill themselves after taking the lives of others, therefore, the idea of questioning them or assessing them to acquire reasoning that will define their actions are forfeited. Adam Lanza, the shooter in the Sandy Hook massacre kills himself as first responders close in to arrest him is a prime example of being

Amidst all of the violence surrounding not only the United States, but also the whole world, I felt like the July 7th Dallas Shootings interested me. The attack took place on a Thursday evening during a Black Lives Matter Protest. The protest came shortly after the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, and occurred in many major cities that evening. After reviewing many different stories from both CNN and Fox News, I found one article hours after the attack occurred and one about one week later. This story definitely had a large amount of coverage online, in newspapers, and on television. The content of information was similar, but the article published one week after the killings had more accurate information since more become known

On april 20, 1999 in Colorado at Columbine High School, two students Dylan Klebold and ERic harris shot and killed 13 students and killing themselves. It was one of the worst tragedy in school shootings ever. What made them do this monstrous thing? There has been many speculations why, people say they were bullied, gothic and part of a gang, but those rumors was not true. They seemed like normal high school but who were they really.

For my first blog entry, I have decided to look into the Las Vegas Shootings that occurred on the 1st October at 10pm (5am GMT) when sixty-four year old Nevadan Stephen Paddock opened fire at a capacity crowd of twenty-two thousand during the annual Route 91 festival. At the point of this entry the death toll has risen to fifty-eight and over five hundred people have been taken to local hospitals in the surrounding areas. It is being held as one of the biggest mass shootings performed by a single gunman in the USA since the death toll surpassed that of the Orlando nightclub shooting in

Century after century religions have been made up of sects, have trials and tribulations (some bigger then others), and continue to recruiting but most of all religions have offered culture, belief systems, status, and customs within the religious communities; this is also true for the Islam religion. As a whole it can be broken into a number of sects, and below the sects are more sects, with additional breakouts of how, when, and where people practice this sect, of a sect, of a religion. The point being there is no one face to a religion, including Islam. At one point the Islamic follows lead relatively private lives in the U.S. but a number of things stated to reveal some negative attention including 9/11. The media had a negative feeding frenzy on the Islamic culture and the U.S started to listen and learn. “The terrorist attacks on U.S. soil dramatically increased the

It is still undetermined if Al Qaeda was directly responsible to the Fort Hood Shooting. It is known that Hasan was in contact with Anwar al Awlaki, a known Al Qaeda supporter/member for months before the Fort Hood attack. The FBI Agents in San Diego had been investigating Awlaki, a former San Diego resident, for his possible connections to the 9/11 hijackers. During their investigation is when agents discovered the emails that Hasan had sent Awlaki (http://abcnews.go.com). The investigation into the shoot has not revealed any evidence that Hasan was directed by anyone to commit the shooting. It is believed that Hasan acted alone and that Awlaki or Al Qaeda had no direct involvement in the incident. Hasan is considered a lone wolf terrorists or a terrorist who commits acts of terrorism without being directed by anyone. After the Fort Hood attack Awlaki did comment on his web site by stating that Hasan was a hero and that every Muslim should do the

After doing this assignment and reading Andrew Bolts article and listening to Mehdi Hasan tell his beliefs I still think the same about terrorists but understand that not all Muslims are. Mehdi’s convincing debate shows me that not all Muslims wish to have a lifestyle the way we think they do. Majority of them actually want to live in peace and with love which I didn’t really know before watching his video. I think I have more respect for Muslims now knowing that yes there are extremists and terrorists but that’s only a small group compared to how many want to live a life just like any other person would. I think that we do label Muslims and see them as threats due to people always pointing out the negatives like the Bali bombings but Mehdi

In the days after September 11, 2001, American leaders rushed to portray Islam as a peaceful religion that had been "hijacked" by a fanatical band of terrorists. One hopes that these assurances were merely tactical—that nobody was meant to believe them and that they were meant to assure the Muslim world that the inevitable American
