This is shown through Atta Turk completely removing Islam out of the newly formed Turkish society, the Baath Party’s secular ideology while still committing massacre, and Hezbollah using a radicalized form of religion to gain political strength. The beginning of the modern age of Islam can be marked with Napoleon’s conquest of Egypt and the subsequent conquest by Britain. This defeat indicated to the leaders of the Islamic

Haytham Mouzahem a Middle Eastern writer describes the long historical journey of Lebanon 's Shia community. The Lebanese Shia 's attained global identity in the 1980s, 5 years after Hezbollah was founded in 1975, with military operations carried out opposing the Israeli occupation in Lebanon, and the beginning of Hezbollah 's relationship with Syria and the Islamic republic of Iran ever since. According to some historians and Shia scholars in Lebanon and the west, the actual occultation of 'Shi 'ism

religions have co-exists for many centuries. However, some ritual, theology or religious organisation triggers to sporadic fights. During many century Sunni Muslims were marginalized, but in 80’s, we saw their emergence, in Lebanon with creation of Hezbollah and in Irak after Sadam Hussein’s fall. Lebanon is composed by approximatively 50% of Muslims: 20% Shia and 25% of Sunnites. This country’s current tensions are not opposing Christians to Muslims, as Huntington would have predicted, but rather

Middle-Eastern and African Terrorist Movements Michael Scheil Troy University  Abstract Over the course of this paper Middle-Eastern and African Terrorist Movements will be examined with different organizations and networks used as source material.

Today if you ask anybody about the term “terrorism” everyone would say that 9/11, and the attacks on the United States homeland were the most quintessential attacks ever performed by a terrorist organization. Those attacks brought war upon the United States and ultimately lost multiple lives that gained us nothing but the brokenness of families of fallen soldiers. The term “terrorism” is made to cause a change in the system that will give the opposing forces recognition not to be tampered with. That

Hezbollah suicide terror attacks forced the Israeli army to pullout from their heartland of central Lebanon, and caused the UN peacekeeping force to withdraw completely. Observing such occurrence, one could notice that Hezbollah's actions were mainly political. Even though they may glorify and promote martyrdom to achieve their course. Also Schweitzer's demonstrates that Hezbollah tends to use suicide terror against Israel as a deterrent

Test 1, question #3 ​Throughout the history of mankind war has evolved with major technological advancements, yet the reasons of why we go to war have never changed. There are various reasons, factors, and circumstances as to why we go to war. Some of the more sensible ways of reasoning as to why we go to war are the psychological and emotional methodologies. This paper will explain three specific factors, which are schemas, heuristics, and belief systems regarding the psychological and emotional

Many investigations and research have been done in an effort to discover and defend against terrorism. Through my research I have discovered a plethora of literature that confirms this notion. This review will focus primarily on two different aspects that work coherently to frame the big picture of our nation’s Achilles’ heel, better known as the southwestern border. These two aspects are: Muslim extremist targeted recruits and how the United States economy is intertwined. The selection of literature

Gulf States recognize Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. However, it is important to clarify that not all of the conflicts in the Middle East occur because of Shi’a-Sunni factions. When discussing religion in the Middle

In a new book written by Tony Blair’s former chief of staff and chief negotiator in Northern Ireland, Jonathan Powell, the author of “Talking to Terrorists” states “there is no conflict in the world that cannot be solved” (p. 35). In this book, Powell draws on his wider experiences of conflict resolution to argue that terrorism nearly always ends in negotiation, and that we waste much blood and treasure in failing to recognize the need to talk to terrorists at a much earlier stage. Additionally,
