1. I have learned alot about the Middle East. In September last year my dad went the the United Arab Emirates for his work. When he came back he told me that there, everything was bigger, In the city north of him, Dubai, has the world records for the tallest building. When he was driving out there there was people digging ditches with just hand tools, there were no backhoes or dump trucks. Also the people there are either very wealthy or they are dirt poor. Also the major religion is Islam so he woke up at 4 every morning to the Muslims calling to prayer from the local mosques minarets.2.The things I have heard about the middle east is that it would be a very cool place to visit if there wasn't a war or radicalists there trying to kill you. It is a different climate and culture you could learn about. Another thing i have heard is that the Muslims there hate Americans and don't want them in there country.
3. Terrorism in my eyes is when a radical group that includes Muslims or not that cause chaos to other people in the same or different country. The ways they could cause chaos is bombs, hijackings, kidnappings and many other ways
4. The Middle East and Terrorism go together mainly because that's the most prominent activity of terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda and others.

ReplyDeleteDerek, Great post! It would be fantastic if you shared your father's experiences as the quarter goes on, when relevant to what we are talking about. Be careful with spelling and grammar. Always capitalize "I" and the "Middle East".
