Isis Vs Hezbollah
There is no difference between ISIS, Al Qaeda or Hezbollah. They attack innocent using the means of suicide bombs, hijacking airplanes, kidnapping and vehicle bombs throughout the middle east. Hezbollah has sent thousands of fighters into Syria. With so many different factions fighting in Syria it is hard to keep up with who is fighting who. “Member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, have classified Lebanese movement Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, citing hostile actions by the armed group.”

    ISIS is nothing but a big group of thugs that uses their “religious” beliefs, and almost rules some would say to get their followers to commit these terrorizing and world shaking crimes every day. They use their beliefs to almost in a way justify their actions to their followers, and it unfortunately works. It is perceived that they know what they’re doing is not actually under their religious codes, but they are fine with that. In Black Flags, by Joby Warrick, he talks about the mayhem that is caused between individuals and their groups because of their religious beliefs they follow. Warrick talks about how Sunni Muslims lack a centralized religious hierarchy, which is why they cannot settle theological debates. They have higher ranking…

    Al Qaeda and Army of God

    • 2403 Words

    Is it possible to believe that in both Islam and Christianity, two faiths ultimately founded on notions of peace and forgiveness, that it is morally acceptable to commit sin against those who are “the real sinners”? Both the Islamic terrorist organization Al-Qaeda and the North American based Christian terrorist group the Army of God obviously sympathize with that statement. Each organization has set personal vendettas against the United States and the policies the US has established regarding their stray from the conservative, traditional practices within each of their faith traditions. Through that warring, essentially extremist ideology, Al-Qaeda and the Army of God have set themselves apart from their religious affiliates, outside the mainstream philosophies of Islam and Christianity. However, as erratic and irrational as these groups’ principles seem, their backgrounds and ideologies lend some sort of practical insight into the minds of these organizations, who have seemingly defied the very foundations of their faiths. From the warring mountain regions of Afghanistan to an abortion clinic in Pensacola, Florida, these two organizations, hundreds of miles apart and centered around two different religions, are eerily linked in the violence and terror they instill upon the unsuspecting public.…

    Isis was founded in 1999 by Jordanian radical Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Following the invasion in Iraq in 2003, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his group of militia, who will later be known as Isis, got plenty of notoriety in the early stages of the war in Iraq for the suicide attacks on Shia Islamic mosques, civilians, Italian soldiers fighting with the US, and Iraqi institutions. In October 2004, Al-Zarqawi's group officially pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda. They then changed their name to what’s known as al-Qaeda in Iraq. Attacks by the group on civilians, Iraqi government and security forces, foreign diplomats and soldiers, and American convoys continued with roughly the same intensity. A letter sent from Al-Qaeda…

    A group who are simply heartless. However, Dalia said, “Isis has much to do with Islam as the Ku Klux Klan has to do with Christianity.” I’ve never heard of a comparison like that until her. After I actually compared the two, it seems they have much more in common then one might think. Obviously, they worship different religions, but both groups claim to base their ideology on their holy book. In addition, Dalia added that they’re not motivated by what they read In their holy book, its their brutality that makes them read these things into their…

    There are three ethnicity-based governments in Iraq that absolutely hate each other and do not get along at all. Many factors play into the instabilities of the governments ran by the Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds. The roles of the Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds greatly impact the modern and future issues of Iraq. The only problem existing between them is that they do not have the ability to interact with each other. The opposing views of the Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish governments in Iraq make it difficult for them to unite and agree upon political issues, potentially leading to long-term political instability.…

    ISIS is also known for killing thousands of people, carrying out public executions, crucifixions, taking over large swaths of northern and western Iraq, and other acts. Their goal is to get more people to believe in Islam, and even become Muslims. All Muslims can agree that in our religious book, Quran, it is states ‘’no violence at all!’’ and to your own brothers, and sisters? Is a big no-no. So, this group is partially right to want to create an Islamic State, however it is not the right thing to do with violence. As it is, ‘’violence is never the answer!’’.…

    Hezbollah (Party of god) is a militant group as well as a political party based in Lebanon. Hezbollah’s best description comes from Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and identified Hezbollah as "the A team of terrorism".

    Iraq Vs America

    The customs of Iraq and the United States, or in more general terms the western world, have their differences. Elizabeth experienced trouble adjusting to the Iraqi culture, and many individuals in Iraq had trouble understanding the hers. Fatima, a woman of El Nahra, suffers as we all do, from ethnocentrism, believing that her culture is “the right one.” The first set of customs that Fatima believes are superior relate to marriage. In the United States, it is my opinion that marriages are seen as a desired partnership versus a necessity. In Iraq it is the opposite. For Iraqi women, marriage is seen as a necessity, and a protection. Iraqi men fulfill the role of providing resources, and in turn, the “model wife stayed at home, cared for her children and for her house, prepared good food for her husband and his guests, and kept out of sight of strangers.” (Fernea 781) Also in regard to marriage is the veiling of women. Many in the western world have seen the veil as a restriction…

    Al Qaeda AND ISIS

    The approach is where both of these organizations differentiate. ISIS follows the Koran word for word and are very traditional, and believe that “denying the holiness of the Koran or the prophecies of Muhammad is straightforward apostasy” (Wood). In contrast al-Qaeda has somewhat of an acceptance and believe in the difference between apostasy and sin. ISIS are following the Koran in such detail unlike any other Muslims that they are reviving traditions that have been dormant for hundreds of years. This hasn’t been a supported decision by other Muslims or even al-Qaeda, nonetheless, ISIS continues to carry out executions and embrace slavery causing conflict between the two terrorist organizations. On the other hand these terrorist can find common interest in their opposition for the West. When al-Qaeda was under the leadership of Osama Bin Laden he would urge his affiliates such as ISIS to keep focus on bringing the fight to America and the western allies rather than to other Muslims. Though ISIS does oppose the western culture they are primarily keeping their fight closer to home and spreading their power across the Middle East. Like a business, terrorist organizations need financial support in order to stay relevant and continue their…
