Mosab Hassan Yousef Thesis
November 26, 2010

In the article by Art Moore regarding Mosab Hassan Yousef a Palestinian and son of a Hamas founder and leader. Yousef fled his country because he feared his people would attempt to kill him due to him changing religions. He arrived in America Jan. 2, 2007 hoping to find peace and bring awareness to what the Middle East plots because he had so much knowledge being a counterterrorist for Israel. He televised his new faith putting his life in danger he risked that so people in the Middle East would realized that they’re religion was wrong. Instead it turned out that an Al-Qaida affiliated group condemned him. To make things worst in Feb. 23, 2009 the Department of Homeland Security accused Yousef of suspicious terrorist activity. The reason why he was barred from asylum in the U.S. because,

He believed that the Al Qaida was planning on doing the same to America. Since they don’t have nuclear bombs they just use suicide bombers and attack anywhere and anyone. He wanted to protect America just like the members of a society, has its military system to defend the members from external threat, and the police system to maintain law and order of the society. The system is the structure of the society and the functions of the systems are to provide security and stability for the society. And for the Department of Homeland Security to overlook the good that this man is trying to do is despicable to me. Nevertheless Yousef will not be discouraged throughout his life he has overcame a lot he was to suppose be the heir of his fathers leadership. Instead he started working with the Shin Bet his doubts about Hamas began forming when he realized Hamas brutality, and that he hated how Hamas used the lives of suffering civilians to achieve their

    Muhammad was historically significant in many ways. “...Muhammad, was born in the bustling city of Makkah around A.D. 570.” (pg 271). Muhammad was a man born in Makkah, a city in Arabia, around the year 570 A.D. He was raised by his uncle, since he was orphaned at a young age. “By age 13 he was working as a camel caravan worker.” (notes). At the young age of 13, Muhammad already had a job as a camel caravan worker. “When Muhammad was about 25 years old, Kadijah proposed marriage to him.” (pg 271).

    Hamdi vs Rumsfeld

    • 958 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Yaser Esam Hamdi, an American citizen, was captured in Afghanistan shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11th. Hamdi was classified as an “enemy combatant” by the United States. His father filed a petition of Habeas Corpus that his fifth and fourteenth amendments were in violation. Although the petition did not specify on the actual circumstances of Hamdi’s capture and detention, the record indicated that Hamdi went to Afghanistan to do “relief work” less than two months before September 11th and could have not received military training. The Special Advisor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Michael Mobbs, issued a response, outlining the Government’s position. The district court found the “Mobbs Declaration” insufficient in supporting the Government’s case. The Mobbs Declaration provided details regarding Hamdi’s trip to Afghanistan, his affiliation with the Taliban during a time when the Taliban was battling U.S. allies, and lastly his surrender of an assault rifle. The District Court found that the Mobbs Declaration, standing alone, did not support Hamdi’s detention and ordered the Government to turn over numerous materials. The Fourth Circuit reversed, stressing that it was undisputed that Hamdi was captured in an active combat zone, no factual inquiry or evidentiary hearing allowed Hamdi to be heard or to rebut the Government’s claims were necessary or proper. If the Mobbs Declaration was accurate, it provided a sufficient basis upon which to conclude that the President had constitutionally detained Hamdi, the court ordered the habeas petition dismissed. The appeals court held that, “no citizen shall be imprisoned or otherwise detained by the United States except pursuant to an Act of Congress”. This provides that The AUMF’s “necessary and appropriate force” language provided the authorization for Hamdi’s detention. Also that Hamdi is entitled only to a limited judicial inquiry into his detention’s rationality under…

    Corruption In Zeitoun

    • 731 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The first time readers become aware of this is on Tuesday September, 6 on page 212. Zeitoun along with his friends living in the house on Claiborne are all arrested and driven to a terminal a few blocks from the Superdome. From there, they are told they are under arrest because they are ‘Al Qaeda’. However much the evidence may have pointed towards this being a correct statement, the men had committed no crime, had not been processed correctly, and had not been allowed to make a call. All evidence of the government being corrupt during this time. Another example brought to reader’s attention is a man Abdulrahman Zeitoun meets at the Hunt Correctional Center. “He met a man who said he had been moving furniture in his house just after the storm hit. The police spotted him and broke in. When the protested his innocence they beat him up and left. A few days later, he came to the Greyhound Station to complain. They arrested him and sent him to Hunt” (Eggers 258). This ridiculous behavior during a time of crisis is unacceptable and shows how the government was…

    goldmines in Mali such as the goldmines of Bambuk so, not all of the money was made by growth. The gold from Mali was about half of the entire world's gold (Tschanz). This is especially impressive because he is the only person in extant history that controlled the price of gold in the Mediterranean (Tschanz). Additionally, many other things showed his wealth.
