Sally Jones: Female Terrorists

In the clip of Prime Suspect, gender is represented in many ways using mise en scene and camera movement.

The tension found inside and between Rose Almond and other characters in V for Vendetta develops her character development and is significant not only to the long-debated differences between a graphic novel and a comic but also to the portrayal of women in this graphic novel. This is significant because V for Vendetta portrays women as submissive, incapable of providing for themselves without a man, and driven by their own emotions which shows that the content in graphic novels (i.e. tension and character development) that makes them different from comic books is not given the same attention or thought for women as it is for

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

Kimmel researches the life of Timothy McVeigh, a citizen of America who bombed a federal building in Oklahoma City and Mohammed Atta, the said to be mastermind of the infamous 9/11 terrorist attacks. Through his research, Kimmel finds parallels between McVeigh and Atta in; age and

The perpetrators of terrorism have changed over time. Domestic terrorism has its roots in the United States going back to the Colonial Era, where some argue that patriots such as in the Boston Tea Party used terror tactics to spread their message (Zalman, 2015). Many argue that the acts patriots took were

Pettman argues that feminist groups had a problematic time dealing with the war on terror. In class, we watched the video of Laura Bush sharing her ideas that the women in these countries need our help. I think with both President Bush and first lady telling America that we need to save the women this gained attention. This led me to realize how much people's views can be influenced by those in power. The hopes of feminist were crushed this made me think how Americans always assume that we know what is best for other countries. It seems

Terrorist organizations from the past did not have much exposure compare to terrorist organizations now who have diverse media outlets. The different types of media coverage's include the internet , social media, news, and YouTube videos. Terrorist have an advantage with these media outlets, they can recruit members to join the fight against those who are against Islam. These individual can receive training from these terrorist organization. Training can include how to make a bomb, fight tactics, or planning terrorist attack. They play to and for an audience, and solicit audience participation (Hoffman 2006, 173). These terrorist organization want as much media exposure as to bring terror to those who oppose them. By these terrorist attack

First, I will be questioning whether the terrorist group is Russian or Arabic. One witness of the explosion said that the people near the bomb were talking funny. This could be either Russian or Arabic because both of those countries have accents when

The book The Girl Who Escaped ISIS was a 215 page book that I have completed. It took me a about two days to read this book. This is a non- fiction issue based novel. I read it with good comprehension though it did have some challenging diction. I read it at a moderately fast pace because it was a very intriguing book, therefore allowed it to be easier to read. This book is a very disturbing novel, but everyone should read it. The importance of what goes on in this is necessary for everyone to understand.

In the novel, The Attack, by Yasmina Khadra, the suicide bomber is a young female who appeared to be very innocent. When individuals experience an act of violence, which may put them

terrorism through an examination of female criminal participation within domestic terrorism. These beliefs, often rooted in gendered stereotypes, have greatly influenced U.S. terrorism policy and need to be empirically examined in order to increase our understanding of women in terrorism and aid in the development of better counterterrorism strategies. The focus on criminal participation, and actual participation in the criminal acts, is particularly important because it allows for testing these beliefs regarding women’s involvement in terrorism through an examination of individual acts. While it can be argued that simply belonging to a terrorist group is in itself

You succinctly described the overwhelming evidence that asserts Dr. Aafia Siddiqui as a terrorist with deep ties to other terrorists and radical Islamic terror networks. Her life story makes for a great propaganda piece in the recruitment of other female jihadist. “A significant development in women’s participation in the global Jihad has been the dissemination of radical ideologies on-line” (Dickey, 2010). Therefore, whether or not Siddiqui is truly a terrorist or not has become irrelevant to her online and political notoriety as a victim of the Bush-era war on terror. “Aafia is a political prisoner and her release will come from the court of public opinion” (Booth, 2014). This statement highlights Siddiqui’s value, both on a political and

Many terror attacks have been thwarted, including a little-known attack on a plane headed for Sochi, Russia. Perpetrators used explosives disguised as hand cream, given to female suicide bombers. The women were detained in Austria and France, after being checked in four countries by five international security agencies. In France, though, they were found to have plans of where to put the explosives. There was no definitive target, rt.com reports. We can be

A young twenty-three year old woman named Alex was the primary persona that is involved within this article. She became the main target of ISIS members due to her lonely and isolated lifestyle. Alex’s occupation included being a Sunday school teacher as well as a babysitter who earned three-hundred dollars a month. Alex’s story gives off a sympathetic vibe, because it is not like she randomly chose to join ISIS. It all began with her curiosity about the extremists, and the cognitive process in which they took a part of when they beheaded James Foley, the journalist. Because she did not have that much of a social life, as well as living with her grandparents for the majority of her life, she became a very easy target to the ISIS extremists.
