Obsession

Section 1. In the first scene terrorists were portrayed as an extremely powerful and organized group. They take their beliefs so seriously that they are willing to kill themselves. In the United States not many people are willing to give up their life to just a belief. In my opinion I just do not understand/see clearly how people do this because this is not my lifestyle. It is more then frightening to know that there is such a big support for these groups in the world somewhere.

Section 2. I see Jihad as people being brainwashed into certain beliefs. These radical goals of Jihad effect every religion in the world. They make their people believe that the Unites States is the one forcing other countries to become exactly like them. To people who belong to Jihad, they think that their actions are positive and that they will create a better world. To me it is surreal that this many people can be so violent for having a religion fuel their actions.

Section 3. United States is portrayed as a devil or the evil one. Many people are confused why Americans are so hated. To terrorists full filling their duty to their god is not seen like a war but charity in a way. They do also use propaganda with their violent acts to make others understand their religion/ways. Also that videos involving these acts are shown to people to create false beliefs about the west.

Section 4. Radical Islam is not only confined in the Middle East, it occurs in London etc. Therefore terrorism is international. That there are multiple groups that support terrorist actions and that stereotypes of terrorists are not always correct. I believe having terrorist groups all over the world, it will be harder to protect people from this kind of violence. It is repeated many times that they do this for Allah but internationally this reason is not excepted. I agree with that because it does not make sense to kill innocent people for a belief. This type of terrorism is also compared to Hitler and his way of murdering one race.

Section 7. History is repeating itself with events such as the war between the United States and Iraq. To many the issue of terrorism did not seem important. But, pictures of children with guns and video of children being taught to become suicide bomber. It is unbelievable to think that children are similar to mini soldiers. If new generations are being "brainwashed" then the outcome/future of this issue is going to be full of greater violence. Also causing this issue not to have the ability to have a solution. Which can cause a negative effect on the world economically,politically, and socially.
