The Terror Of The Middle East

On September 11, 2001 Osama Bin Laden, leader of the Al-Qa’ida terrorist group, ordered for 19 of his men to hijack four planes. Their plan was to attack certain points in the United States of America. The attacks were suppose to be on New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the white house. Many innocent Americans and other nationalities were murdered by the terrorist that day. This day struck many years of conflict for both side with many years of war.

Bin Laden the biggest terrorist who ever lived! That is what Americans think when they hear the name Bin Laden. But does one even know much about him, such as his family or early life? Probably not they just know that he was behind 9/11. Also, how did he get into terrorism? Did his family raise him to be a terrorist, or did he actually grow up to do something else? Most Americans don’t know much about him. Those people don’t want to know if they were hurt from his destruction. Many families had a hard time such as losing a family member, or a child that grew up not having a parent due to Bin Laden’s doing. Those kids were forever scarred. He has done nothing but terrorize Americans and many other people in other countries. Therefore it is a good thing that he is dead! What were some of the steps used to kill Bin Laden? Also, how was Bin Laden found? Where was he hiding all this time?

“A declaration of Jihad,” on August 23, 1996 deals with Osama bin Laden order to sanction a defensive war (jihad) after he gained refuge in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden is a well-known terrorist and is the leader and founder of al-Qaeda. In 1979, the origins of al-Qaeda can be traced back to this year because that is when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Originally, Osama bin Laden used al-Qaeda as a way to enlist Muslim into the resistance. After, the Soviets left not shortly after the United States came and establish military bases in the homeland of bin Laden in conjecture to the First Gulf Wars. The actions of the United States infuriated bin Laden because the United States intruded to one of Islam’s holiest shrines. In addition, bin Laden isolation from the Saudi ruling family causing him launch a series of bombings directed at the United States embassies, ships, barracks, and then the awful attacks on New York (twin towers) and Washington in 2001. The insert begins with bin Laden shifting the blame to Judeo-Christian alliance and supporters (e.g. the United States). He elaborates by recounting the amount of Muslim blood has spilled across the Middle East and Asia because of their enemies. Bin Laden progresses by saying the reason of the meeting is to find a plan to rectify what has happened to the Islamic world, particularly in Saudi Arabia. The passage details how Americans in Saudi Arabia have unrightfully incarcerated righteous scholars of Islam. It continues with

The 21st century has been a dangerous time for the western world. With the rise of many terrorist groups such as al-Qaida and Isis, America and many parts of the world has become a target in their eyes. These groups as put the lives of the American people at risk multiple times. Terrorism is an international problem in today’s global community. Many nations are affected, whether directly or indirectly. Most nations oppose terrorism, while others condone or even support active, brutal terrorism and terrorist groups. Since the horrible day of 9/11 to the Boston marathon bombing. It comes to a point where the united states government and its people have to make an decision, between security over liberty. Many government officials such as David

The history of Terrorism in the United States is extensive, with present day being focused mainly on Islamic Terrorist groups and extremists. There have been 2,608 total attacks and 226 fatal attacks in the United States between 1970 and 2011. There have been attacks from within the United States from our own people and attacks that originated from abroad. Religion, political agendas, instilling fear and protesting policy have all been motives of terrorists throughout history. Terrorists will use any means necessary to promote their cause and to receive worldwide recognition and media attention from their acts. Terrorism can also be used, especially in regards to religion, to enforce a system of belief, opinion or viewpoint. The

Terrorism is a big threat people in the world face today. Terrorism is defined by Cindy Combs as “a synthesis of war and theater, a dramatization of the most proscribed kind of violence - that which is perpetuated on innocent victims - played before an audience in the hope of creating a mood of fear; for political purposes.” In other words an act of terrorism is not for mass casualties but rather for attention. Terrorist seek an audience. They would rather kill one person and have the whole world see it than kill a whole city and no one knew about it. Through attention they believe they can create a fear in us the people. If the people are scared the government

First of all, in our world today, things are changing fast and the way of life is very dynamic. Unfortunately, so is terrorism. We can see this

I mean seriously, who do these Al Qaeda guys think they are? First they go blowing up the twin towers, which I stayed in during a high school concert choir trip, and now this…Wanting Americans to convert to Islam, THE NERVE! How rude can these guys get? Instilling fear in every man, child and animal is one thing, but asking me to switch faiths? Shit, you 've crossed a line you really shouldn 't have crossed; you need to step off Al Qaeda. What? You don 't believe me? Well believe this, infidel: "Al-Qaeda has urged non-Muslims - especially in the US - to convert to Islam, according to a new videotape. The call is made by a man identified on the film as "Azzam the American", a convert also known as Adam Gadahn who is wanted for questioning by the FBI. He says ignorance of Islam leads Westerners to accept wars waged by their governments and Israel against Muslim countries. The video opens with an introduction by al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri." -BBC.com Al-Zawahiri has got to be the biggest affront on Middle America 's way of life since Al Bundy, perhaps even more so. And who is this "Azzam the American" character? Isn 't that the name of the genie Shaq played in that stupid movie? It 's all pretty sickening and I, as an American, am pissed off. This is what I am doing right now to "deal" with it, you know, blow off steam. I 've got Lee Greenwood 's "God Bless the USA" (you know the tune… "And I 'm proud to be an American") blasting on the hi-fi, and I 'm sitting at

On September 20th, 2001, President Bush gave one his most iconic speeches before 80 million Americans where he identified the enemy, al Qaeda, as “a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations” that “practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics” (O’Connell 285). President Bush commanded on Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban regime to turn over all al Qaeda members living in Afghanistan and that they close all of their training camps. This was his speech where he preached tolerance for members of the Muslim faith and he pleaded with Americans to grant him their patience for an extended struggle. It was Bush’s closing lines that were truly exceptional:

With the advent of a new age of Terrorism sweeping the world since the 9/11 attacks on America, much debate has followed as to whether the prevention of terrorist attacks should take prevalence over basic civil liberties enjoyed by any civilian of a liberal democracy. If we take the definition of civil liberties to be “Fundamental individual rights, such as freedom of speech and religion, protected by law against unwarranted governmental or other interference” , it is very hard to envisage a society in which both can exist.

International terrorists can carry out their operations either in their host country or in a foreign nation. In addition, domestic terrorism is instigated by various domestic factors such as the state of the economy in terms level of GDP, its growth rates, level of education, and human development index; lack of political freedom and civil liberties that is measured by level of people’s participation in free and fair elections; and political instability caused by civil wars and riots occurring due to regime durability or during transition periods (Enders et al,

During the seventh century a religion known as Islam arose in the Arabian peninsula. Although at first glimpse it may have seem as non threatening, soon there after, Islam erupted out of Arabia, rapidly taking control of the Middle East. Subsequently both Persia and the Christian Byzantine Empire were completely defeated and absorbed into the Islamic world. Islamic forces urged there followers to ensure that the world was under their political control. If it must be spread by the sword then so be it. Throughout the rest of the seventh century, Arab armies advanced inexorably northwards and westwards. For the next 300 years Christians and Muslims engaged in a protracted struggle. Nonetheless it was not until November of 1095, that Pope

Did you know that Paris is the city of love? Unfortunately on the evening of November 13 2015, it turned to the city of disorder, a group of terrorist launched a series of well-coordinated attacks on the innocent civilians of Paris, France. The attacks consisted of suicide bombings, mass shootings, and holding hundreds of hostages. Some details and questions to think about are the history and background of ISIS, how did ISIS execute these events without anyone even noticing, Thirdly, you might wonder why ISIS would do such a cruel act, next, who was involved in these acts of terrorism, how is it related to the San Bernardino shootings, and lastly how we can prevent and abolish these acts of terrorism.

Terrorism has been around since the early to late 11th century and it is directly related to the Middle East and Muslims. The Hashshashin (roughly translated as the “Assassins”) arose as an offspring of the Isma 'ili sect of Shia Muslims. It was led by man named Hassan-i Sabbah and it opposed the Fatimid rule. The Hashshashin group then seized Alamut and other strongholds across Persia. At the time, Hashshashin forces were too small to go to war conventionally, so they assassinated city governors and military commanders in order to create alliances with powerful militaristic neighbors. For instance, they murdered Janah al-Dawla, ruler of Homs, to please Ridwan of Aleppo, and then assassinated Mawdud and Seljuk emir of Mosul, as a favor to

Terrorism, which has been around for as long as people can remember, has been on the rise for the past ten years. Terrorists usually use murdering, kidnapping, hi-jacking and bombings to achieve their political purpose. For instance, according to Wikipedia.com (2006), in 1985 816 deaths, then in 2003, more than 1,000 people died by terorist acts around the world. In recent years, terrorism seems to be at a new height and attacks are much more violent than in the past. Unfortunately, in spite of many anti-terror campaigns, projects and organizations are being created for prevention (to prevent) terrorism, the number of terrorists only is increasing. These days terrorism is all over the world.
