However source 16 states that the British themselves were reluctant to grant India independence. When the British PM, Neville Chamberlain, declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, the Viceroy, Lord Linlithgow, followed him. He was acting just within the limits of his legal powers to do this without consulting any Indians. This indicated that Britain was still behaving as a master and called into question any of its previous concessions. This furthered the Indian’s desire for independence but they were still faced with the challenges of overcoming the divisions within India.
Death of Osama bin Laden: Effect on Al-Qaeda by Student’s name Code+ course name Professor’s name University name City, State Date Death of Osama bin Laden: Effect on Al-Qaeda INTRODUCTION After the U.S. commandos hunted down and killed Osama bin Laden, they still had to search for any vital document that had information relating to the future attacks and generally the entire plan of the al-Qaida group. For roughly 20 minutes, the Navy SEAL Team Six ransacked bin Laden's compound in Pakistan's city of Abbottabad, collecting what came to be described as a library of great intelligence on the inner dealings of the outlawed al-Qaida terror group. It was that effort that recognized bin Laden as the arch-terrorist, who
Obama said Pakistan had provided some information leading to the raid. Critics have long accused elements of Pakistan's security establishment of protecting bin Laden, though Islamabad has always denied this. Ties between the U.S. and Pakistan have reached a low point in recent months over the future of Afghanistan, and any hint of possible Pakistani collusion with bin Laden could have major reverberations. Pakistan's foreign ministry said the death of bin Laden shows the resolve of that country and the world to battle terrorism — a resolve that has been frequently questioned by U.S. officials over the past decade. Pakistan's first official statement about the operation acknowledged that the raid was a U.S. operation but did not elaborate.
Though alarming and upsetting, the stories of Dr. Mansoor Mirza’s troubling life experiences are a perfect example of how biased so many Americans really are. The one sentence that really blew my mind was one when Mirza, a well-respected Muslim doctor in Wisconsin, was at the planning commission meeting trying to open a mosque nearby and it said “[h]e kept calm when a commissioner asked if there would be any weapons or military training at the mosque.” I was shocked that someone would go so far as to assume that just because this highly respected doctor was Muslim, he was building a mosque specifically for homegrown terrorism. Considering that nearly one fourth of the world’s populous is Muslim, like Ster said in the last paragraph of “Don’t Fear Islamic Law in America”, it just doesn’t make sense if thought of it as one fourth of the world being
He called on Truman to approve huge reinforcements, a wholesale naval blockade of all of China and an immeadiate bombing of the Chinese mainland. It was felt that by using a naval blockade and two long-range air groups, that the military capacity would be unaffected in Europe, an obvious concern of the Truman administration. [11] Ultimately, the use of air and naval forces were a concern of the administration and the United Nations because of the belief by these entities that by expanding the power exerted over China, it would inevitiably lead to a nuclear war. Something the Truman
It doesn’t have to be an atomic bomb, but just a bomb to show Iran we are not playing. I really don’t want us to go into war, but if it takes that then so be it. They are really pushing the United States to that level and to keep our country safe, we have to whatever’s necessary. The United States should do what they have to do about Iran’s nuclear
Osama bin Laden, then head of the militant group al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan on Monday, May 2, 2011, shortly after 1 a.m. Pakistan Standard Time by a United States Special Forces military unit. The operation, code-named Operation Neptune Spear, was ordered by United States President Barack Obama and carried out in a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operation by a team of United States Navy SEALs. Bin Laden's death was welcomed throughout much of the world as a fitting end to a figure who had inspired mass bloodshed and a positive and significant turning point in the fight against al-Qaeda and related groups. The entire incident has shaken the global legal community; dividing it into two namely those who feel the U.S. Government was justified in killing or assassinating bin Laden and those who feel the U.S. Government may have overstepped the legitimacy of its action and violated international and human rights law. This controversy depends upon the argument of whether bin Laden can be classified as an enemy combatant or not.
Abou El Fadl is particularly critical of Wahhabism, a puritanical revision of Islam propagated by the Saudi monarchy. While Wahhabism claims to be the "straight path" of Islam, it is, according to Abou El Fadl, an “false” form of Islam, forged in the 18th-century slaughter of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. To call it "fundamentalist," he asserts, is misleading, since it defys fundamental Islamic truths and distorts Islam by rejecting any attempt to interpret the divine law historically or contextually (11-12). Fadl utilizes Quranic passages as a way to support claims of the danger behind interpreting scriptural passages that were recorded in another period in history without assessing the historical context and background. Fadl further illuminates the dangers of such misunderstanding and an absence of historical understanding and context in which a passage is written through the examination of the passage “fight those among the People of the Book who do not believe in God or the Hereafter, who do not forbid what God and His Prophet have forbidden, and who do not acknowledge the religion of truth- fight them until they pay the poll tax with willing submission and feel themselves subdued” (13).
It means that we leave Al Qaeda without their original leader and it makes them weaker. We also captured and killed the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks and other previous events. The United States successfully executed its retribution on Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. Still, it doesn’t mean that this is
For example, If you kill someone you have destroyed the equality between yourself and the person you have killed as you have decided for them to die and for you to live. Therefore without rules we would turn into a violent species. Violence can only lead to more violence. For example in Korea there are huge grudges between North Korea and South Korea. In 2010 is was found that a North Korean torpedo had been fired (on purpose) at a South Korean naval ship.
