Ever since September 11th, there has been poor judgment and treatment toward people of Middle Eastern descent. From hate crimes and racial profiling, to maybe being denied some of their rights as well. In the article “Obama defends plan to build mosque near ground zero,” there is controversy to whether Muslims should be allowed to build a mosque near ground zero. The first amendment of the United States Constitution grants freedom of religion; therefore, Muslims have every right to build a mosque near ground zero. Although the 911 attacks were made by Islamic terrorists, the whole Muslim community shouldn’t be punished.
Iraq was left out on its own to fend off the world. This war turned out to be Sadaam vs. the world. Countries felt threatened by the mere existence of this man Sadaam considering him a menace to society. Sadaam proved over again that he was after land first invading Iran and then taking over Kuwait. When Sadaam took over Kuwait he was after the Kuwaiti Oil.
That did not turn out that good. Even though they were the main religion, they weren’t controlling anything, Constantine loved being in charge of everything, playing are religion like little puppets. I think know that church is getting way to public and God doesn’t want public Now moving into God and the bible’s perspective on things. Here is a quote directly from Exodus 20:1, NIV, and “You shall have no other gods before me”. And I interrupt this not only as just other gods, but also things that hinder our religion.
In the 16th century people who were not catholic were killed and tortured, so that the catholic church could stay in power and people would stay catholic. Today the world is completely opposite, it accepts any religion even if it conflicts with other religion such as Judaism and Christianity. Those two religion hated each other in the past but have grown and evolved, they still have different beliefs but it doesn't matter since they learned to get along thanks to the inquisition. What the inquisition has done for the modern world is teach us what is wrong and what is right; it showed us our mistakes that we'll not do again. The expression "learn from our mistakes" is true in this situation.
Islamism and Anti-Americanism “Islamism” “militant Islam” “political Islam” are a few words to describe the extreme Islamic thought. There are extremists in every religion. They are convinced that they know what God wants. There is no way to change their attitude or beliefs. The only thing that can be done is to try to control their actions which are usually done in the name of God.
The rise of Christianity would have been a festering wound to the Senate that just wouldn’t go away but that they couldn’t ignore. To conclude, the rise of Christianity contributed the destruction of the Roman Empire by undermining the Roman Senate. Jesus of Nazareth and his follower’s beliefs contradicted the common Roman law and caused a rift in the Empire. Although by no stretch was this the sole cause of the declination of

While some argue that religion is the cause of wars, it is inconclusive whether war would or would not exist if there was no such thing as religion. Some would say The Crusades are a major example of religion causing war. From the 11th century to the 13thcentury Christian states in Europe launched what are sometimes called Holy Wars against Muslims in the East. These wars centred on the city of Jerusalem which held a Holy significance in the Christian world. However when 3000 Christians were massacred, this began the ‘retaliation’ and therefore the beginning of The Crusades to release the Holy City of Jerusalem from the rule of Muslims.
There was also no official state persecution before the third century. Christians were also given every opportunity to sacrifice and honour the gods. It served Rome no purpose in executing them all. In fact it was avoided as this would make the Christians martyrs and immortalise them. I’m sure they did not want another Spartacus.
The True Meaning of Liberation When the United States led an invasion of Iraq in 2003, there was great dissent over whether there was enough justification for the invasion. The president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, had been accused of holding weapons of mass destruction as well as committing several crimes against the people of Iraq. The United States government held that Saddam’s regime was threatening to the world and its own people, and many Americans supportive of the government since 9/11 thought the same. However, there was a wave of protests across western countries condemning the act. These protestors argued that there were not enough reasons to justify an invasion of Iraq.
