Political Science - Understanding Islam Activism in the Middle East
Listening to "Understanding Islam Activism in the Middle East," I, as part of the audience, became aware of the burden that Ziad Munson is experiencing as he discusses about a very sensitive topic, Islam activism, in relation to the Middle Eastern experience. This is because apart from the sensitive topic at hand, it is vital that Munson should argue to his audience that Islam is no different from any other religion, thereby making it easier for us (the audience) to understand how Islam activism has become at its present state among Muslim nations.

interventionism from the perspective of realism vs. idealism.

Fallout A section of commentators have taken issue with the manner in which the federal government denied suspected terrorist the due process of law as stipulated under the constitution. The government even commissioned the establishment of a torture chamber in Guantanamo Bay. This amounts to gross violation of human rights and civil liberties. There is another clause in the patriot act dubbed "enhanced surveillance procedures," which allows federal authorities to gather
His extremism has always been well-known and knowingly harboring him is a significant international offense. In December of 2000 the United Nations imposed sanctions against an Afghanistan struggling under Taliban rule, as a way to get the official government to hand Bin-laden over to international authorities, to answer for his already long list of terrorist crimes and collusions.
