While Osama was student of Abdul Aziz University he was introduced to the works of the Islamist radical Sayyid Qutb. Executed around 1966, but was a guiding light of the Egyptian Muslims Brotherhood. It’s doubtful Osama read very deeply into Sayyid Qutb’s thirty volumes of Koranic commentary. Like other young Muslim men came to believe that Jihadis had the answer to the world’s problem and that answer was bloodshed. The problems posed by almost a million displaced Palestinians affected the entire Arab world. Now within the Palestine Diaspora, more than a dozen terrorist organizations reared their heads. Now the one group that was among them were the Palestinian Liberation Organization, headed by an Egyptian named Abdel Raouf Arfat al- Qudwa al- Husseinii.

Osama bin Laden was contemptible, he said. “But I would like to say very respectfully, who brought Osama bin Laden from Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan? Who gave him million[s] of dollars? Who trained him in [the] science of war, death and destruction, deception and deceit? Who gave protection to his cause and diplomatic coverage to his enterprise? Was it not President Reagan, when he had to see mujahideen at the White House, he said, ‘When I meet you I feel as if I am in the company of the founding fathers of this
This book was written by the famous Egyptian Islamist named Sayyid Qutb. He was the known of Muslim world for his work on what he believed to be the social and political role of Islam in modern times. He was known by many as one of the founding fathers of the modern Islamist movements. Amazingly, this book was the last writing that he wrote while in the prison in the year of 1964.

In Aug. of 1996, Osama bin Laden issued his first “fatwa.” The general grounds of the fatwa are that “the people of Islam had suffered from aggression, iniquity, and injustice imposed on them by the Zionist-Crusaders and their collaborators.” He cites the various “injustices” and states that, “it is no longer possible to be quiet. It is not acceptable to give a blind eye to this matter.” He argues that the most important duty is pushing Americans and American ideology out of the holy land and urges all Muslim brothers to fight and kill the enemy.
When I was born in Mexico City, Mexico, my dad planted a pine tree. To me, this signified my growth and roots in Mexico. This tree is in the middle of the 12th biggest city on Earth. The tree stands at about 26 feet tall right now! When I first found out about this project, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t too intrigued. I have done other Mo`oku`auhau’s for the Hawaiian programs I attended when I was little. I would have find out all the names of my grandparents and recite them in Hawaiian. It never taught me much. This project has really opened up my eyes because of the stories I have heard, the things that’s been done and the parts of me I never knew.
Osama argued that he basically had the right to retaliate after his people suffered oppression. What really started to move him towards retribution was the bombardment of 1982 where America allowed the Israelis to invade Lebanon. He described how he could never forget the scene of children screaming and homes being destroyed. Also, while all of this happened, the whole world was witness to it but did not say or do anything. This ended up resulting in his conclusion to punish the oppressors. He wanted America to taste what it felt like to have the same thing done to them. He also says that one cannot be blamed for defending oneself especially if all he was trying to do was correct the great wrongs that were done to his people. By fighting, he
Respected Puritan minister, Jonathan Edwards, in his sermon, Sinners In The Hands of an Angry God (1741), warns the unrepentant sinners of his congregation that they will be damned to hell if they do not confess. Edwards’s intent is to manifest terror in the people of his congregation about the consequences of their sinful behavior. He adapts a condemning tone in order to convey a strong message in his congregation. Although Edwards’s use of extreme imagery was the strongest in the sermon, he also uses vivid metaphors and logos to convey his message.
Certain people think of him in Saudi Arabia they associate him as an activist. Bin Laden justifies his actions through the pursuit of his “Holy War Against Americans”. Before reading his article Declaration of War Against the Americans Occupying the Land of Two Holy Places: Expel the Polytheists From the Arabian Peninsula, I did not know what Laden’s issue with America was. So let me start off by saying I cannot justify what he did but I can understand his claim. The Declaration of Jihad on the Americans Occupying the Country of the Two Sacred Places started in August 1996. When Osama bin Laden’s first call for Jihad against the United States took place, He first started off by saying that the leader in charge of Saudi Arabia need to be taken away for letting the Americans in. He is angry at the higher powers for giving America and Israel the power to invade their land. In addition he blames them for the power that they gave to the intruders. He then addresses the entire Muslim world, urging the believers to respond to non-Muslim aggression against believers by waging Jihad which means holy war in defense of their
For many centuries, Judaic and Arabian societies have engaged in one of the most complicated and lengthy conflicts known to mankind, the makings of a highly difficult peace process. Unfortunately for all the world’s peacemakers the Arab-Israeli conflict, particularly the war between Israel and the Palestinian Territories, is rooted in far more then ethnic tensions. Instead of drawing attention towards high-ranking officials of the Israeli government and Hamas, focus needs to be diverted towards the more suspect and subtle international relations theory of realism which, has imposed more problems than solutions.
Arab is not a race, but is a group of individuals that are united by their culture and history (ADC, 2014). There are many different variations commonly based on a particular individual’s country of origin such as Arab Americans. Other variations are based on their social class, the level of their education, if they live urbanely or rurally, or the time they have spent in the United States (Lipson & Dubble, 2007). Most Arabs also practice Islamic religion and are Muslim. When working with an Arab or Muslim client, nurses should ask what the client wishes to be referred to so as not to offend them in any way (Lipson & Dubble, 2007).
