However, when delving deeper into the origins of this radical violence related to islam, and the middle east, it becomes apparent it is connected to many different global and political factors that have led to it’s significance on the world-stage. The question arises, why is Islam so directly connected to violence? This can be due to the lack of knowledge, it is essential to recognize

In the film Zero Dark Thirty, the use of torture was portrayed as a very effective way of extracting critical information. Due to the “enhanced interrogation techniques” used when being questioned, the CIA was able to track down and kill Osama Bin Laden.

On this day, thousands of lives were ripped from innocent people and families were never the same. America was under the attack by nineteen people of a terrorist group from the Middle East. They attacked the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington D.C.. There is no legitimate reason for why this happened because it shouldn’t

Dick Cavett, a famous American talk show host, once said, “Censorship feeds the dirty mind more than the four-letter word itself.” Censorship limits free speech, and it is used constantly today. In South Park’s situation, the writers use logic and evidence to express their opinions on controversial issues, and people think that it should be censored.

1)Afghanistan was once a place of relative peace. A place where one could do as they please and have the freedoms to be who they wanted to be. But a few years would change that all. Everything that the citizens of Afghanistan knew, their entire way of life would change. The cause? The Taliban. The Taliban are an extremist Muslim group from Afghanistan. The Taliban, who call themselves Jihad or “freedom fighters” are the most brutal extremist Muslims in the world. To understand the Taliban you must

They would have the responsibility of storming the cockpits and taking control of the passengers on the planes. It is important to note that although KSM was considered the master mind behind the “planes operation”, it was Bin Laden who personally chose these men to carry out this task.

Even though this height is taller than average, it goes to say nearly anybody within this range who is a “tall man”, wearing traditional clothes and with lengthy hair (which is a very vague description for the CIA to go by), could have been mistakened for Laden himself

The TV station took a survey of who the viewers thought was the perpetrator of 9/11, and the results show that a majority of people did not believe that the attack was led by Osama bin Laden. Fifty percent of voters believed that the United States government or George W Bush was at
