1024 Words5 Pages

Thanks to history we see war is not limited to killing. Instead, war is a multi-packed good or evil struggle each with its own purposeful initiation and ending. Conquering poverty, illiteracy, HIV-AIDS, wasting profitable time, crimes, and armed conflict between nations or factions could exemplify what war envelops. The language of war, as states by Khalid Sheik Mohammad is, however, generalize or viewed as killing. The nature of the war addressed in Mohammad 's one lengthy article is also taken as a specific social conflict based on religious confrontation. The hot issues that include liberalism versus terrorism and economic issue are left behind in Mohammad 's discussion. Mohammad 's participation in the 11 September 2001 massacre in New York clearly indicates his anti-position against the United State 's stand. Mohammad is correct when he said that neither roses nor kisses reach Saddam from his opponents. What I understand from “The language of war is killing” is Mohammad 's active position as a living terrorists symbol not only in Iraq but also in the Arab world. …show more content…

Mohammad 's symbolic life as a terrorist could be taken from his thought, “I am an American enemy.” which indicates assures his stoic enmity against the mission of the United States. He confidently goes on conforming his terrorist activity in the September killings where thousands of innocent people lost their lives. But, he clams no heroism for his indiscriminately destructive campaign. In the U.S.A. he repeatedly praise “the Language of War is Killing” to show his disagreement with America. According to the dream of Mohammad the war between American and the Arab world will go on until the U.S.A withdraws from the his land. This again shows his groundless prediction. Now and then Mohammad addresses the unbroken continuity of terrorism against America using new winning war

When talking about war, there are many books with few answers to what war truly is. Barbara Ehrenreich brings forth not only the possibilities towards understanding war but also the passion people from history have had towards it. One key issue she brings to light is humanities love for war, so much so that people would use excuses like holy wars to justify their need to fight in a war. She declares that war is as muddled as the issue of diseases and where diseases came from around 200 years ago. More so than that she even goes further on to state that these rituals that date back to prehistoric times are the cause of human nature during times of war rather than human instinct.

As well as this, the Quran set “specific terms” for fighting which prohibited the desecration of any item and the mutilation of the enemy’s dead. These merciful post-victory terms also earned the Islamic army respect and encouraged conversion, a parallel to the astonishment of the Meccans when Muhammad’s army did not destroy their town, rather invited them to join him, which they did (631 CE). Addressing lesser jihad, this encouragement to fight against oppression allowed the Muslims to conquer by force while staying in line with their beliefs. War was justified through lesser jihad, as Muslims perceived it as a threat (a form of “opposition”) when countries refused to accept the terms of surrender outlined in Document 3. These guaranteed safety and protection provided they pay a tax and their laws protect the Muslims settled in their land.
