This course will provide students with an overview of terrorism in the world today. It will focus on the conditions of the Middle East, which have led to an ongoing conflict between radical Muslims and the west. The course will cover early conflicts from the time of the Crusades up to the present day. Included in this will be the rise and fall of the Caliphate, the goals of modern terrorists and their methods, and the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

I don't know a lot about the Middle East, or their people, but what i have seen of them, doesn't impress me in the least. Let's go back to September 11, 2001, 2,996 Americans were murdered and nearly the same were injured. That right there just proves that their way of life is violent and barbaric, those of terrorists. I don't know, but I think that it would be stressful having to worry about which one of your people is going to get blown up next, if it's going to be you or your friend. Also I know that in the Middle East they put woman under men. I don't know if this is true or not but i heard they make the woman cover pretty much every part of their body including their face, they can be arrested and sometimes even murdered if they don't. Also I've heard that they use babies and yuong children to blow up things in their attacks. Well to me these people describe my defination of terrorism, so that's what I think of them as.

Brittany, Great post! Be careful using generalizations about the Middle East. There are a variety of cultures in the Middle East that have different practices. In addition, you did not answer the last question.
