Radical Islam
Ok so I want everyone in this room to close there eyes and put your heads down (silence for about 10 seconds then slams book on table). I swear I wasn't doing that to be mean or to wake anyone up. There's a point to that. Now, imagine me slamming that book on the table being Mr. Sheets running in here to yell at you to hide under your desk or get out of sight, or a bomb, or a gun shot. . Not even a code red or orange warning. One second you are in class and then the next you are hiding. Then men with masks come in and tell you to go to the gym and hold a gun to your back. For three days you are trapped in the gym with the whole school. Here, considering our size, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. But imagine if,

Are we going to allow another 9/11 to happen again. No that is not what the United States stands for. Some people will say that this is not out business but as a nation under God it is not only our business but our obligation to defend people, everyone and to spread God’s truth. Even if it is not in America, if this is what they are doing, why are we allowing this. They are bringing the fear of Isis and Allan and jihadist into our nation. They are bringing the feat of Alla into nations around the world and they are proving that their god is superior and that he is in control. Why do you thing Islam is growing so fast? Our job as Christians is to spread the word of God throughout the world. To prove to everyone that out God the one true God is in control, that he loves us, that he created us, that he to be feared and loved. Rather than allowing them to bring fear to us, let's put the fear of God in their dessert. They, radical Islamic terrorists brought the flight to the red, white and blue, and it's time to say enough and being the fight back to them, full force. Let's show them who they're messing with. . It's time to show them that as a nation under God, we are unstoppable. We are inferior. Let's show them who our God is, the true God is and why he is to be feared. This to take down radical Islamic terrorism. It's time to put the fear of God back in their dessert. Remember you guys, we the people have the power and we the people are the voice. We where given this power for a reason. It's time to get off our butts and use
Racism? Racism my fucking ass. This is about protecting OUT COUNTRY from ILLEGALS WHO ARE BRINGING IN CRIMES AND DRUGS INTO OUR COUNTRY. Any country, with any sense would have a stringent immigration law. You're right, there will always be illegals here. The goal is to endeavor to make it difficult for these illegals they enter our country. If these illegals want to come back to the U. S they can do so...
Satire is a great tool used by many writers and actors since ancient times. The earliest example that we know about is a script from 2nd millennium BC in Ancient Egypt (Definition: Satire) and since then has evolved into a great part of our society. Satire is used to point out the faults of human vice in order for change and reform in either of two ways. There is a very bitter Juvenalian or a mild and light Horatian. In order to fully understand these forms of satire, method, purpose, and applications will be addressed.
More than enough people are still terrified that the world is in danger when it comes to dealing with terrorists and their threats. Today people make it seem like we’re in harm’s way and that authorities aren’t doing anything to protect us. When it comes to 9/11 the people that were younger back then are now in college and are old enough to remember the tragedy that happened. It’s been over a decade since thousands of innocent lives were lost. This day was and still is a tragedy for family, friends and loved ones of the victims. Many authorities rushed down to help the victims and try to get them out of the buildings before they collapsed more than what they have. In the article “We’re safer post-9/11” Eric Holder argues that “today we’re working together like never before to share information, tactics, and training to fight terrorists to stop them from putting their plans to practice.” ( PA, pg. 707)

The teacher rounded up my entire class and ordered us to be completely quiet. We were just informed that we are now under a lockdown, and I don’t think this is necessarily a practice one either. My phone just started to vibrate. As I glanced down at my phone, I heard a distant ‘pop’, ‘pop’ coming from inside the cafeteria. The sound reminded me of popcorn popping in the microwave. Most of the people in my class started to become very unsettled, and then it hit me. The emergency notification on my phone was just another confirmation that there were active shooters in my school. The shooters turned out to be troubled students that thought the only way to get their point across was to take it into their own hands. This is just one of the many scenarios when people that shouldn’t have access to guns find a way to get weapons inside their grasp
The skies were clear and vibrant blue, while two towers stood tall in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Within a matter of hours, these large towers, the twin towers, collapsed and the skies that were once blue were stained with ashes. Terrorism in the US has been an unresolved problems and continues today and in many other countries. Many solutions are needed in order to prevent tragedies like 9/11 from happening to the country again. Over the past years there has been many debates about terrorism and its prevention since the 9/11 attack on the world trade center. Many Americans on a daily basis work and attend to their priorities. There should be no reason that Americans should feel insecure and afraid in their own homeland because security
Osama bin Laden declared in 1998 that “it is the duty of all Muslims to kill United States citizens, civilians and military, and their allies everywhere” (Nakaya 60). The subsequent attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the failed attempt to destroy The White House on September 11, 2001 forever changed the lives of United States citizens. The United States continues waging a battle against various Muslim extremist leaders who have intentions to establish a Muslim caliphate with a mission of eliminating all inapposite views to the Muslim religion.
Cat’s Cradle is an apocalyptic woe meant to highlight the hamartias of human nature and the susceptibility mankind has to self-destruction and the dangers of man’s free will. This comically tragic satire explores the consequences of humanity's scientific and technological progress, and explores the notion that science and knowledge could potentially lead to the eradication of the human species though nuclear war. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. employs unusual and off-beat protagonist, Jonah, along with extensive irony and twisted humor in his dark comedy, Cat’s Cradle, to expose the fallacies of mankind, such as humanity’s capacity for destruction, and exemplify man’s ultimate search for moral structure and purpose for life. Vonnegut’s intriguing story utilizes significant symbolism which substantially contributes to the development of the story and aids various external connections, such as to the Bible and Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. In Cat’s Cradle, Vonnegut places science and truth on one side of the aisle and religion and lies on opposing side, making the claim that they are contradictory ideas that aren't compatible with one another.
With recent events in the United States like the shooting in San Bernardino, California involving Muslims, we can start to understand why Donald Trump put the ban on Muslims entering the United States. However, terrorism never used to be that big of an issue until the events of 9/11 happened. Since this event occurred, the United States has tightened down in places like the airports and schools, but just because these places may be safer it has not stopped numerous individuals. Some Americans may think that most terrorist attacks that take place in the United States are done mostly by Muslims because of all the media coverage they receive, but this is not the case. Erin Kearns and her colleagues found that only 11 out of 89 attacks that took
The biggest terrorist attack in American history occurred on September 11, 2001. The Islamic al-Qaeda group hijacked four airliners in the United States. Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, a third struck the Pentagon, and the fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed including over 400 police officers and firefighters. America's view on the world and Muslims all over, forever changed. Muslims are judged and criticized still today after these events. Muslim Americans after 9/11 should have a right to live freely in America, can help us stop Islamic terrorism, and can increase unity with American citizens and the communities.
Mad Magazine, The Simpsons, Saturday Night Live. In our society, satire is among the most prevalent of comedic forms. This was not always true, for before the 18th century, satire was not a fully developed form. Satire, however, rose out of necessity; writers and artists needed a way to ambiguously criticize their governments, their churches, and their aristocrats. By the 18th century, satire was hugely popular. Satire as an art form has its roots in the classics, especially in the Roman Horace's Satires. Satire as it was originally proposed was a form of literature using sarcasm, irony, and wit, to bring about a change in society, but in the eighteenth century Voltaire, Jonathan Swift and William Hogarth expanded satire to include politics, as well as art. The political climate of the time was one of tension. Any criticism of government would bring harsh punishments, sometimes exile or death. In order to voice opinions without fear of punishment, malcontented writers turned to Satire. Voltaire's Candide and Swift's Modest Proposal are two examples of this new genre. By creating a fictional world modeled after the world he hated, Voltaire was able to attack scientists, and theologians with impunity. Jonathan Swift created many fictional worlds in his great work, Gulliver's Travels, where he constantly drew parallels to the English government.
Satire is defined as “the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues” (Oxford). The best satirical writers can make the readers believe that an idea is “logical and practical.” This is seen in great abundance in Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World. Through his writing, Huxley uses satire to effectively point out the flaws of society at the time. Even though Brave New World was written in 1931, the satirical points Huxley makes are still relevant in today’s world.
Post September 11, 2001 the life of a Muslim women living in America changed forever. Islamophobia is the prejudice against Islam or Muslims. Islamophobia is not a new concept, it has roots hundreds of years ago, however after 9/11 it became much more prevalent in America. Following 9/11 Western media used Islam and Muslim women who covered to inflict fear in American citizens. Western media framed Islam as a dangerous and hateful religion that needed to be stopped. At the same time the media became obsessed with Muslim women who veiled and wanted to save these women from their oppression. However, these articles written about the oppressed Muslim women did not feature Muslim women and their experiences veiling. They were not given a voice
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own” (Swift). Such beholders, as Jonathan Swift astutely emphasizes, are intended, through guidance of satiric narrative, to recognize social or political plights. In some satires, as in Swift’s own A Modest Proposal, the use of absurd, blatant exaggeration is intended to capture an indolent audience’s attention regarding the social state of the poor. Yet even in such a direct satire, there exists another layer of meaning. In regards to A Modest Proposal, the interchange between the voice of the proposer and Swift’s voice introduces another medium of criticism, as well as the opportunity for readers to reflect on how well they may fit the proposer’s persona. In such as case, the satire exists on multiple levels of meaning—not only offering conclusions about moral problems, but also allowing the audience to an interpretation of their place among the criticism.
Terrorism will happen again regardless of how prepared the U.S. thinks it may be. This means that it is the country’s job to ensure that there is a continuation of measures that should be taken to fight against terrorism. Others believe that the U.S. is fully prepared for another terrorist attack and that enough has been done. The question at hand is, should the U.S. still be concerned about terrorism. The United States needs to be concerned about terrorism to prevent tragedies like 9/11 from happening again, to address problems with domestic terrorism, and to improve homeland security.
