- 3rd and 4th paragraph: do you agree? What does this make you feel?
- After research the fact is found to be fake and the real value is 51%, does this change your opinion of the article and make you question its credibility?
- Paragraph 9 - They flatly told Black Lives Matter activists fighting for basic civil and human rights, fast-food workers seeking livable wages and union rights, and students challenging crippling debts that their problems are insignificant because they are not being held hostage at gunpoint.
- Doesn't the article have double standards itself? Since it is using right wing extremists to represent their personal views of the west. Which is what the article implies that the west is doing in relation to ISIS and the muslim religion.
- Why do you think Paris attack gets more attention in social media than Turkey, Yemen, and Lebanon attacks? Do you think this is reasonable? Is France more important?
- What can people do to eliminate terrorist attacks in the future?
- The Charlie Hebdo shooting happened in January in Paris, and ten months later, attacks strike again in Paris with 130 people killed. Should Parisians start living in fear or should they continue with their lives? (Charlie Hebdo responds to Paris terror attacks: “They may have guns. Fuck them. We have champagne.”)
- Do you agree with Bush’s statement: “Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.” Why?
- Do you think that the Muslim world sees the western world as terrorists?
- What do you think Asian countries should do to abolish terrorism?
- To what extent do you agree with the statement “The West is incapable of addressing its own imperial violence. Instead, it points its blood-stained ginger accusingly at the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims and tells them they are the inherently violent ones.”
- At the time of the atrocious 9/11 attacks, al-Qaeda was a relatively small and isolated group. It was the U.S.-led war in and occupation of Iraq that created the conditions of extreme violence, desperation, and sectarianism in which al-Qaeda metastasized, spreading worldwide. The West, in its addiction to militarism, played into the hands of the extremists, and today we see the rotten fruit borne of that rotten addiction: ISIS is the Frankenstein’s monster of Western imperialism. Do you agree that extremist groups such as ISIS is due to the fact that the West is obsessed with militarism in foreign countries?
- The Obama administration did more than $100 billion of arms deals with the Saudi monarchy in the past five years, and France has increasingly signed enormous military contracts with theocratic autocracies like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. Why do you think the West spend so much of it’s GDP on militarism? Do you think the method is effective at eradicating conflicts and terrorism?
- What do you think is the incentive of those including people who planned the attacks, suicide bombers, leader of ISIS Al-Baghdad?
