This article is one from a popular source that talks about a terrorist incident that took
place in Manchester. Aly in this article captures the views of several leaders about the
incident. Some of the leaders think that terrorism is not necessarily related to the Islamic
religion or to Muslim Immigrants. There are also statistics that are cited stating that in fact
most terrorist activities are usually perpetrated by people who are non-Muslims. These
leaders are therefore of the view that the media gives more attention to terrorist attacks that
are perpetrated by Muslims but do not give those that are perpetrated by non-Muslims the
same attention.
They also state that fighting terrorism has nothing to do with Islam but is about
fighting evil. The other leaders, however, state that most terrorist attacks are usually done in
the name of the Islamic religion. The issue should, therefore, be taken seriously and Muslim
immigrants barred from entering the United States. This article is important to my research
because it gives a practical example of an attack that was done in the name of Islam and
therefore clearly portrays the use of Islam as a weapon by others. The article also points out
the various sentiments of leaders about the issue. The author of this article, Waleed Aly is a
political lecturer at Monash University in Melbourne, as well as a columnist and a
broadcaster. The New York Times is one of the leading national newspapers in the US.
