I will then look in to and discuss the various conspiracy theories that surround the question. Introduction When asked to think of a name associated to the word terrorism Osama bin Laden will spring to the front of many people’s minds. This is not surprising as he been the most influential and internationally recognised terrorist over the last few decades. At 10:30 AM on May the 1st 2011 the White House released a statement claiming bin Laden had been killed in an American operation in Pakistan. Many people all over the US and Europe celebrated at the news as they felt that justice had been done for the 9/11 attacks which killed so many innocent people.
News May 05, 2011 THE DEATH OF OSAMA BIN LADEN EFFECTING EVERYONE? By: Kawenvir Singh As Americans learned the death of Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al-Qaeda, the streets of America had begun to flutter with celebration. The US Special Forces had been the ones who shot Bin laden. They had a lead from a courier in Pakistan that distinguished where Osama Bin Laden was hidden. A few of the Pakistan Citizens felt threatened and notified the US Special Forces right away that also knew.
Why would a person kill themselves only to kill others? What were their reasons for targeting only the United States? Can their actions be morally justified? Because many of the terrorists killed themselves while committing the terroristic act; and others were killed or died later on, we will never be able to answer all of our questions. However, we can decide if there is a way to morally justify terroristic actions.The two
After selling their lies and plans for the war to the America people, congress had given President Bush carte blanche to bring justice to those who caused pain and destruction on American soil. Abu Ghraib Prison, also known as Baghdad Central Prison, became the U.S Army detention center for captured Iraqis. “For decades under Saddam Hussein, many prisoners who were taken to the Abu Ghraib prison never came out. It was the centerpiece of Saddam's empire of fear, and those prisoners who did make it out told nightmarish tales of torture beyond imagining – and executions without reason.” (Abuse of Iraqi POWS by GIs Probed, 2004) In 2004 rumors began to surface, regarding the abuse of prisoners held by the U.S army. Initially the U.S media expressed little interest to the accusations, until photographic evidence emerged, exposing the violation of the prisoner’s human rights.
In other words, because of the jihad terrorists feel that they are enabled to kill in the name of Allah, and that is their stance. Considering the fact that in many cases a jihad is caused because of a clash between followers of different religions, each of whom believes that God is on their side and that the other side is of Satan, Al-Khaled does not understand why these terror organizations are killing so many Muslims in the name of God. In the documentary, we met a recruiter for Al-Qaeda named Zaid, who is tied to the suicide bombing that happened at Al-Khaled’s wedding. When asked about the event of many Muslims being killed by a terrorist that claimed it was God’s will, he
15 years have passed since the infamous “Columbine High School Massacre” of 1999, where two secluded high school seniors murdered 12 students and 1 high school teacher. This tragic event , and the death of 30 000 other people due to gun violence each year, sparked a large debate over gun control laws in the US which still exists to this day and seems unlikely to simmer-down any time soon. In In the critically acclaimed documentary “Bowling For Columbine”, Michael Moore explores the roots of Americans fascination of guns. This documentary can easily be viewed as fully objective as Moore does not choose sides between gun control or civil rights, but instead tackles what is the cause of such fondness of this awful culture. This documentary heavily revolves around the idea that the main cause of gun violence in America is due to so many American’s being immersed in a culture of fear.
Throughout his whole speech, he uses an anger and disparaging tome to reflect Bush’s point of view. Overall, George Bush uses emotional appeal, metaphors, and tone to portray Al Qaeda as iniquitous freedom haters which persuades the audience to recognise his contention and accept his point of view. Americans are depicted as victims of war from the September 11th terrorist incident with George Bush’s speech. An anecdote is used in the first paragraph to portray this: “...Americans have known the casualties of war--but not at the centre of a great city on a peaceful morning. Americans have known surprise attacks—but never before on thousands of civilians.
Ayatollah Khomeini one of the 20th century's most ruthless leaders. As a 70-year-old grandfather, Khomeini pulled off one of the most daring revolutions in history and served a crushing blow to America. Osama bin Laden was the cause for 911 and many other Terrorist attacks. When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, Osama joined the Afghan resistance, believing it was his duty as a Muslim to fight the occupation. Last but not least he was shot in the leg, sentenced to death, escaped twice from prison, led a successful one-day revolution, and became the leader of his country mostly while still in college.
INTRODUCTION The Film “Bowling for Columbine” seeks to investigate and confront the powerful elite political and corporate interests fanning the America culture for their own unscrupulous gain. The United States of America is notoriously known for its astronomical number of people killed by firearms for a developed nation without a civil war. With this signature and sense of angry humour, activist filmmaker Michael Moore sets out to explore the roots of this bloodshed. In doing so, he learns that the conventional answers of easy availability of guns, violent national history, violent entertainment and even poverty are inadequate to explain this violence when other cultures share those same factors without the equivalent carnage. In order to arrive at a possible explanation, Michael Moore takes on a deeper examination of America's culture of fear, bigotry and violence in a nation with widespread gun ownership WHY I CHOOSE THIS FILM I choose this film because Michael Moore talk about reality is not trying to teach us about gun control in America but merely ask about why so many deaths, violent and anger behaviours among people in America than other country.
These ideals later served as the foundation for Black Nationalism and the Back Power movements. His approval of violence and militant stance against white society caused the U.S. Government to name him “the most dangerous man in America” (Mamiya, 2013). As a result the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) and the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) actively surveilled him until the time of his death.
