this article is about after seeing terrorists planting explosives the IDF opened fire and killed two Israeli soldiers, and two Palestinian soldiers.
this article is of global importance because it shows that if they will open fire that quickly it will be very easy to start world war III if these conflicts are not resolved peacefully.

this article is about how a south Korean ship sank in the yellow sea near north Korea yesterday. The president of south Korea wants an investigation and wants "all possibilities" checked.
this article is of global importance because if indeed north korea hit this ship, it could possibly be the one thing that starts a war between them.

Arab Nationalism Sheet Responce

I think the topic has lead to Arab nationalism really because of European imperialism. because the Europeans messed everything and never left, it bread hatred towards them. The common factor is westernization, and by taking away Islamic culture, the Muslims did not like that which made them not like the west and any ideas that they came up with.

Out of the three i think that they are really all intertwined. So really they are all important. But imperialism is the start of all of it because they came in and changed everything, therefore forcing them to westernize. I don't think that Zionism has the most conflict because although it is an issue, it is not the main one. Zionism is when Israel wants a homeland. even though it breeds conflict it is not as important as imperialism or westernization since Muslim extremists hate anything western

Veil responce

i don't really understand what the big deal is about this veil thing. it is apart of Islamic culture, and although it is not specifically in the bible, people should be able to wear it how they want. in this culture people have so little rights, that they should at least have this one. in both articles, How i came to love the veil and Does Islam require the veil, overall the main problems are how people would react. people in the western powers see people in veils and might be freaked out by it and possibly think that they are terrorists or something. So overall, i believe that people should be able to wear the veil if they want to they should be able to, they just need to be able to take the consequences that comes with it.

Article Responce

no i really don't think that the journalist is right. first of all, what gives him the right to generalize this country saying when we are only christian when that is just not the case. And so what if our country has different religions and if we are secular. none of that should even matter and that was completely off base in my opinion.
i think that Bin laden's claims were quite scary. he sees the united states as an enemy because religion is not out number one priority and compares 9/11 to Muhammad breaking down polytheism. No i do not think that his claims are justified.

Article Responce

I think that the Jews deserve the holy land. They were there first and were forced out of their homeland and they should be able to get it back. They also built the extremely holy city of Jerusalem, which is very important to all three religions. Without this city, at least for the other two religions, they might not have progressed as far as they did. But for the Jews, it is apart of them. When they pray they face Jerusalem, and they deserve to have what’s rightfully theirs.
