The end result is not the rest of what you learned in college, but what God shows you when you finally succeed in reaching him. 9 There is a very good reason why God has not yet stopped bad things from happening. With respect to these items in the cosmos, it makes sense to ask why they exist rather than not. And I guess this makes sense considering that the novel’s central character does a good deal of complaining about Hollywood phonies and how the movies are unrealistic. Moreover, it is still a matter of debate whether Boko Haram has links to terror outfits outside Nigeria and its fighters have frequently clashed with Nigeria’s central government. The group became known internationally following sectarian violence in Nigeria in July 2009, which left over 1000 people dead. In 2011, Boko Haram was responsible for at least 450 killings in Nigeria. Ansar al-Sharia or Ansar al-Shariah is a name used by a collection of radical or militant Islamist groups or militias, in at least eight countries. Based on my reading of the papers in this series, this appears, in part, to explain the continued struggles of Islamist parties in Libya and Yemen-or at least their inabilities to regroup or rebuild in the face of massive setbacks.

Ansar Deen is an Islamist militant group in the country of Mali that wants Shariah law in Mali. Founded by Mohammed Yusuf in 2001, the organization seeks to establish sharia law in the country. Wiley Brooks founded the Breatharian Institute of America and claims to have been a breatharian for about 30 years. The Cairo declaration followed years of limited acceptance of the Universal declaration by predominantly Muslim states. The Times called the findings “appalling” and also analysed the data as showing a very high level of distrust of Muslim Americans and robust disapproval of the Park51 Mosque proposal. The Times did this survey during the Park51 Ground Zero Mosque incident. A New York Times poll found that 33% of Americans think that Muslim Americans were more “sympathetic to terrorists than other Citizens” Rik Coolsaet analysed this as indicating a high level of distrust directed at the American Muslim community.

In a 2005 Lowy Institute for International Policy Poll 57% of Australians indicated they are worried about the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. These departures, both theoretical and practical, have resulted in a multitude of practices and cases criticized by international human rights groups. Some states and movements that are perceived or claimed to be Islamic fundamentalists have been criticized for their human rights record by international organizations. The acceptance of international law on human rights has been somewhat limited even in Muslim countries that are not seen as fundamentalist. Ann Elizabeth Mayer writes that states with a predominantly Muslim population, even when they adopt laws along European lines, are influenced by Islamic rules and precepts of sharia, which cause conflict with international law on human rights. Amos N. Guiora noted that this is equivalent to the number of Australians who perceived American Foreign Policy as a threat, he further noted that not just Muslim countries have an unfavourable opinion of the United States but a large number of western countries such as: France, Germany, Great Britain and Spain and concluded that Australia was not an outlier on this regard. In 1990, under Saudi leadership, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, a group representing all Muslim majority nations, adopted the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, which substantially diverges from the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

The group is connected to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. The group is also known for attacking Christians and bombing Mosques and churches. And through the powerful examples of Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and the Arab Spring uprisings, the world has witnessed the power of nonviolent protest to move and remove governments. See human rights in Iran, human rights in Saudi Arabia, and Taliban treatment of women for specific examples. According to Mayer, features found in conflict include severe deficiencies in criminal procedure, harsh criminal penalties causing great suffering, discrimination against women and non-Muslims, and prohibition against abandoning the Islamic religion. It can be found on almost all of their products, including their shirts. While modern depictions of Loki can vary from the sinister in Neil Gaiman’s American Gods to the misunderstood in Joanne Harris’ Runemarks, they generally follow the same blueprint. While they share names and ideology, they lack a unified command structure. Of these Christians, over 80% are Roman Catholics while the rest are predominantly Anglicans, Methodists and other Protestants. It was also reported that they had been responsible for over 620 deaths over the first 6 months of 2012. Since its founding in 2001, the jihadists have been responsible for between 3,000 and 10,000 deaths.
