The Islamic State Of Iraq And Syria

America’s viewpoint on the Muslim group of people was significantly prejudiced by post 9/11. The entire Muslim community was vision negatively as of the events that was taken by Al Qaeda an international terrorist group formed by Osama Bin Laden. Soon, subsequent to the bombing of the twin towers, primary awareness of Muslims habitually originated from labels relating to the Middle East as a whole. According to “Affective Politics after 9/11” Todd Hall proposed that 9/11 was a sensitively prominent event that created an emotional shock wave. He believed the original place of influence were the countless effective reaction of people in the United States who has watched the series of terrorist attacks unfold and causes Americans to view Muslims

9/11 is known as one of the most tragic events in the history of the United States. Since World War II, America had proven its superiority and had become a progressive and powerful country. The occurrence of a terrorism group entering the country, breeching security and killing several thousands of Americans took a toll on almost everyone. Not only was the safety of the public questioned, the nation’s security legitimacy was as well. Since 9/11, many debates on American policy have been sparked. However, not only has this event had an impact on policy in America, it has had a severe impact on the public’s perception of Muslim American’s. It has been fourteen years since the attack in 2001 and Muslim Americans are still facing a terrible bias and being treated with disrespect. The American society has perceived Muslims into a single group that associates them all with terrorism (Bayraktaroglu). This is stereotype leads to a negative public perception.

In contemporary American society Arab Americans are perceived as Muslim immigrants whose intentions are tied to terrorist groups, when in fact 35% of Muslim Americans are native born here in America, (Moule, 2012, p. 315). In addition, 60% convert to Islam later in life and only 40% are born Muslim, (Moule, 2012, p. 315). The misconstrued view of Arab and Muslim Americans began in part with the tragedy on September 11, 2001 when the Twin Towers collapsed. Following this event the media exploited the Islamic culture and anyone tied to it. Tragedy continued with the Iraq War in 2003, a civil war that continues to plague the country and its borders.

“All Muslims are now suspects” expressed Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman of the Council of American-Islamic Relations. After 9/11 ethnic profiling was directed heavily toward people of Muslim or Arabic descent. Discrimination toward Muslims occurs in many settings and is often degrading and evil. The irrational fear and public mindset swing around the country was a huge consequence of 9/11. Politics, communities, and culture has shifted to where citizens do a double take on those who are Muslims because of the flashback they get when they remember where they were on 9/11. For some, just the sight of a Muslim in our country sends a shockwave though their mind. On September 11, 2001, the United States froze in fear as terrorist attacks

The September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States generated fears across the Earth not previously seen in history. The terrorist group responsible, known as Al-Qaida, ushered high levels of panic, causing millions of people who witnessed the attack or read about it to develop widespread fears of Muslims. The dislike or prejudice against Islam or Muslims has become known as Islamophobia, generating hate crimes and discrimination against Muslim people. Recent researchers have highlighted the effects that 9/11 have on Middle-Eastern people, primarily Muslims. Researchers have studied the increase in discrimination on Muslim people post 9/11. Researchers have also studied how 9/11 impacted the public’s view on immigration. Furthermore, studies

After over half a decade since the 9/11 terror attacks on American soil, the consequences of the devastating incident have continued to spread out on Muslims in the United States who have been subjected to harsh experiences because of association. These people have not only been held accountable for their actions but also for the actions of people with false banners in their name since the attacks. Before the 9/11 attacks, Muslims in America were mainly involved in developing institutions and had equal rights with other American citizens. As everyone was treated fairly by the law, Muslims were no exception making them to be optimistic and elated. The attacks had a major impact on the American Muslim community that was seemingly experiencing a successful integration into the country's political process. They not only lost their developmental impetus but also faced prejudice and hostility like never before as the media began to portray the strong link between Islam and extremist political violence.

September 11th holds many hard and upset feelings around the world today. The harsh actions of Muslim extremists unfortunately completely changed the way Muslims are treated, especially in the United States. These events, exacerbated islamophobia. Unfortunately, “the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, connect Muslims and Islam to terrorism within the geographical borders of the United States.” (Byng) Although it has been over a decade since the attack, many still feel racist and discriminatory attitudes towards Muslims. Muslims are the targeted minority in the United States, “the 9/11 terrorist attacks shifted the social and political context for Muslims in the United States. Terrorism within the geographical borders of the United States carried out by Muslims places an identity at the center of national and global politics.” (Byng) The blame of the horrible terrorist attacks, rather than be placed on terrorists or religious extremist, has been placed on Islam in America. After September 11th, hate crimes towards Muslims skyrocketed, “the most dramatic change noted by the report was a more than 1,600 percent increase in reported hate crimes against Muslims -- a jump from 28 hate incidents in 2000 to 481 last year.”

Through political cartoons and images, America has been examined, and it has been conclusive in society that Islamophobia is prevalent. When the attack on the twin towers occurred on September 11, 2001 by Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, America was plunged into a state of dismay. Recovery, though hard, was attained, but feelings towards Muslims became more abhorrent as people filled with trepidation feared that there may be more attacks. Islamophobia galvanized hate crimes towards Muslims, heightening tensions within America. There were book burnings, shootings in mosques, and many more repugnant hate crimes. Extremists sullied the name of Islam, and many observations were made and showed that there was an increase in stereotypes on Muslims.

This assignment is a qualitative study about Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). What it ISIS? Where does it come from? What are its intentions? These questions seem to be simple but can be misrepresenting. According to Schmitt, Major General Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the U.S. in the Middle East, admitted that that he had barely begun figuring out the Islamic State?s appeal. ?We have not defeated the idea,? he said. ?We do not even understand the idea.? In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State as ?not Islamic? and as al-Qaeda?s second team statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors (Schmitt, 2014).

“As ISIS has grown, its goals and intentions have become clearer. Al Qaeda conceived of itself as the vanguard of a global insurgency mobilizing Muslim communities against secular rule. ISIS in contrast seeks to control territory and create a ‘pure’ Sunni Islamist state governed by a brutal interpretation of sharia” (Cronin). The quote shows that ISIS is growing, and will keep growing. They are growing in a very negative and brutal way. In doing so the U.S. does not like their ways of handling situations, and they need to be stopped until they can not be stopped anymore.The U.S. has a choice to send troops into stop them or to try a plan that does not involve troops. Although deploying ground troops against ISIS may not be apart of Obama’s plan, U.S. should deploy ground troops against ISIS.

ISIS is a very prominent thing that we hear about today. A lot of people don’t fully understand what ISIS is, ISIS stands for Islamic state in Iraq and Syria. Which means that ISIS is trying to convert and take over all of Iraq and all of Syria. They are doing this by killing, capturing, and terrorizing innocent civilians. These are people that have done nothing to deserve this. They are also destroying all of the land that they come in contact with. Most of which being sacred, timeless land that is what we would consider and landmark.

On November 13, 2015, a radical terrorist organization carried out consecutive attacks in the city of Paris, France. This radical group is formally known as ISIS, the Islamic States of Iraq and Syria. When a horrible act of violence like the one in Paris occurs… we ask, how can a human being carry out such senseless violence? Perhaps the question we should ask is: how could we not have known? The unfortunate truth is, we did. Join me as we take a short walk through the story of the radical Islamist group we call ISIS from its inception to its rise to power.

Just like any other religion it has goals and objectives. For example christianities goals are to get to heaven. How you do that is you must have a clean soul before you die. Just like catholicism Muslim has a variety of views about how to do things. ISIS’ goals are for everyone to become 100% muslim. The United States is uncertain on its position.The will that ISIS has is even more dangerous than anyone the world has seen.

Women around the world are faced with problems and situation that may seem like a chimera to us, but a reality for another: within the country of Syria this reality thrust upon the women of the country. Syria has been taken over by an extreme religious group called the Islamic State of Iraq or more commonly known as ISIS. Even though ISIS has been around for quite some time they are just now beginning to grow to enough supporters to be able to cause great danger to the people of Syria and around the world. ISIS uses the tactic of causing fear to control and suppress the women so there are unable to stand up for their country and fight back against them.

East Asia is globalizing at a rapid speed, and due to its large influence on the rest of the world it is important to analyze the progression occurring here. Currently, the war against terrorism is a growing concern and countries around the world have come together to meet for a consensus about the negativity surrounding terrorism, specifically a unification against ISIS. ISIS, which stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, is a terror organization that has claimed responsibilities for the recent bombings in Paris, Belgium and Pakistan (1). The Obama Administration has shown great attention and focus towards ending ISIS and creating a unification between allied nations. On November 15 2015, President Obama met with the presidents of
