World Trade Centre Bin Laden

In the wake of what is undisputed one of the most
destructive acts of terrorism ever seen by the
world, America and her allies have been quick to
condemn the perpetrators as unjustified,
unprovoked extremists. The media has painted a
picture of an evil regime intent on the shedding
of innocent blood; motivated only by rage, hatred,
jealously and sheer lunacy in the belief that this
martyrdom will take them to paradise. Of course
few in the west will doubt that the financial

Persian Gulf War War Against Iraq

Gulf War (1) When it comes to analyzing reasons
for any war, we need to be able to distinguish
between propaganda, on the part of warring
parties, and the actual circumstances, which
brought about the beginning of hostilities. This
thesis appears to be especially applicable, within
a context of discussing the reasons for Gulf War

Women Rights In Islamic States

women play a role almost solely as a homemaker.
Women are rarely allowed to leave the house. To
contribute to the seclusion of women men will do

leaving the house including going to the market
for them. The ideal Muslim woman is modest, pious,
and cares greatly for her family (Ahmed, p. 167).

Unable To Cope Spheres Of Influence

think of it, the causes of war really have not
changed at all, or at least very little. Rather
than changes, there has been a shift in the
causes. The cause of war which has dominated the

due to the recent end of the Cold War, this cause
of war, has significantly declined and is almost
trivial. The causes of war have shifted from
