Recently after the attacks in France, ISIS sent the warning: The events were merely the “first of a coming storm.” The day after these attacks, representatives from 17 countries met in Vienna, Austria, in hopes of coordinating their efforts and uniting to take down ISIS. In the article, Middle East scholar Rami Khouri says that the people who created Al Qaeda and ISIS “did not come out of a vacuum.” By this statement, Khouri is trying to say that the people behind these organizations didn’t just appear out of thin air. What they did was only a result of people in Arab countries

The tragically events of 9/11 have change many things, in particular the safety of our people and policies of national security, as for instance the Anti-terrorism Act.

    There is a strong belief that Islam and politics are directly tied. They are tied in the sense that the building blocks of the religion dictate how they ought to behave in the political environment.

Islam has been a religion that has been accused of supporting terrorist activities in the world. Different assumptions have been brought up to understand better the linkages between what really lies behind the Islam religion and politics. Peter Mandaville argues that Islam is dynamic and that it has changed over time; situated within time and politics.
