Similar studies have found that 38% of those who are single and looking for a partner have used online dating sites or mobile dating

Indubitably, Islam hangs under the spotlight of all media across the world—especially in America. For example, frontrunner Donald Trump suggesting special religious ID cards for Muslims, or senator Ted Cruz suggesting the surveillance of American-Muslims, and the shut down of mosques deemed as extreme or “radical”. Trump asserts that, “ ‘There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases," to keep an eye on Muslims . On the contrary, Democratic and Republican runners, such as Hilary Clinton or Jeb

allowed in the Mosque even though the bride and groom are decorated with flowers for the service.

support to maintain security and other privileges. There are regimes in which elites claim Islam as a basis for the regime while excluding all other islamist groups from political participation.

It was a fairly sized building, about the size of a house probably due to the fact that it was in the middle of a neighborhood. The place used to be a church but it was sold.

This shrine is the most holiest place of pilgrimage for Sikhs from all over the world. How lucky are the folks of Delhi that this stunning city is located just 8 hours from the city?!

Who ‘won’ these detention cases and what relationship do these detention cases have with political fear? In order to investigate this question, I have examined articles in a major newspaper to see what was written about the cases and what that may suggest for the era of fear in which these cases took place. The newspapers I will use are the New York Times to consider what reporters were saying about the detainees and their cases in the time leading up to, during, and immediately after their decisions
